Assured Logistics Summit



Defense Strategies Institute’s 5th Annual Assured Logistics Summit will convene senior leaders, leading experts, and strategic decision makers from across the DoW, military services, and industry for in-depth discussion on the strategies, policies, and technologies enabling secure, resilient, efficient, and responsive supply chain and sustainment operations in contested logistics environment.

 

In response to evolving threats and increasing operational complexity, the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research & Engineering has identified contested logistics as one of its six Critical Technology Areas (CTAs), underscoring its importance in ensuring U.S. military access to mission-critical resources in disrupted or denied environments. The 2026 Summit will highlight how the DoW is modernizing its vast global supply chains to maintain effective and resilient logistics operations, ensuring warfighters have the capabilities and resources necessary to achieve battlefield success in contested environments.

 

This year’s Assured Logistics Summit will examine how the Joint Force is adapting to enable mobility and freedom of movement, deliver resources, equipment, and manpower, and sustain operations at the point of need through initiatives focused on strengthening the resiliency, readiness, and security of military supply chains. Join us at DSI’s 5th Annual Assured Logistics Summit to convene with senior leaders from the DoW, military services, industry, logistics experts, and academia in a dynamic ‘town-hall’ style eventAttendees will gain the unique opportunity to engage with the policies, technologies, and innovative solutions that keep the Warfighter prepared, support, and resilient in complex operating environments.
