Military Sustainment

The Future of Logistics and Materiel Readiness and Requirements to Support Global Operations

Today’s Military Global Force operates in all continents and oceans around the world, securing the world’s main trade routes, supporting global economy and pursuing global peacekeeping. With all of these demands, our Armed Forces are faced with an array of challenges. One of these principal challenges is maintaining materiel and logistical readiness and being able to sustain the ongoing global operations from a strategic level to a tactical level.

IDGA’s Military Sustainment will bring together experienced sustainment and logistical key leaders that will address the future of the warfighter's sustainment and stewardship excellence. It will also examine the varying levels of success of materiel readiness and logistical techniques seen during the Iraq and Afghanistan drawdown. Also addressed are the future efforts of policy leaders and commanders to maintain a stable and effective global sustainment force

By attending the Military Sustainment Summit, delegates will understand the future of Military Logistics, new guidelines and standards for materiel readiness, and the progress towards newer and more efficient systems and supply channels.
