Global Force Symposium & Exposition 2026



Advancing the Total Army

The AUSA Global Force Symposium & Exposition is the Association of the U.S. Army's premier three-day event dedicated to advancing the Total Army's modernization through synergistic collaboration between military, industry, and academia. Anchored in the Army's Modernization Strategy, Global Force is a vital forum for exploring how the Army evolves to remain Agile, Adaptive, and Lethal in an era of multi-domain challenges.

 

Focus and Mission

The 2026 Global Force will spotlight the Army's ongoing Transformation in Contact initiative—an approach that emphasizes iterative, outcomes-focused modernization in realistic operational conditions.

 

Attendees will explore how the Army is achieving this transformation through:

  • Acquisition Innovation: Leaner, faster contracting, and adoption of plug-and-play technologies via Modular Open Systems approaches.
  • Operational Experimentation: Rapid field testing and Soldier feedback loops to inform real-time capability development.
  • Cross-Domain Collaboration: Building synergy among Army Materiel Command, T2COM, and other key stakeholders.
