Precision Strike Technology Symposium

Why Attend PSTS-10

Maintaining superior military capabilities are essential both to the credibility of America’s commitments to allies and partners and our ability to deter threats. As DoD continues to pursue the core objectives laid out in the QDR, the precision strike community is focused on the large-scale, high priority security force assistance operations that are ongoing in Iraq and Afghanistan.
