Past event: Owning the Night 2016: Fighting the 24 hour War

Today's soldier is vulnerable to new and complex threats in today's  24 hour war which is brought live into our living rooms by a 24 hour media often embedded with forces in the front line. In this asymmetric warfare scenario the soldier on the ground not only has to deal with his enemy in bad weather, poor light, and darkness, he also has to liaise with coalition governments, Local and Homeland Security organisations, as well as the media.

These requirements require multi-lingual and multi-cultural disciplines which are not always a natural function of the soldier of today. He also has to fight an amorphous enemy whose major tactic is to merge into civil populations in dense urban areas.

All of the above require new tactics disciplines and most of all new and advanced equipment to provide the soldier with the tools to fight this 24 hour war in any climate. The ability of an army to conduct operations on a 24/7 basis is a complete game changer for combat operations giving a huge tactical advantage over any enemy force.
