Past event: Military Logistics Summit 2012

Military Logistics Summit and Total Asset Visibility Summit will be co-located.


Lean Management of Logistics: Warfighter Support and Stewardship Excellence

We are a country with multiple global security interests, largely through our engagement in multiple conflicts in this evolving and increasingly complex economic and political environment. The Department of Defense faces numerous issues related to these factors, including emerging resource restraints and the need to reconstitute key assets that were heavily used over the past decade.

Further, meeting warfighters’ logistical needs is a top priority in fiscal 2012. This duty ranges from supporting readiness and sustainment levels to working with industrial activities. To achieve this goal, the DoD is striving to protect taxpayer resources without sacrificing support to our warfighters.

 

“If we can accomplish all we have over the last decade—engaged on two fronts in Iraq and Afghanistan, responding to contingency ops all around the globe, all while executing the largest BRAC in history—working together, I’m absolutely confident we can overcome the challenges of the coming decade.”
- General Ann E. Dunwoody Commander, U.S. Army Materiel Command

 

This event will examine the varying levels of success logistical techniques have seen during the Iraq drawdown and transition to Afghanistan. It will give an in-depth view of the drawdown from Afghanistan and the recovery of materiel as well as what techniques can make future transitions more efficient and cost-effective.

The 8th Annual Military Logistics Summit will bring together the sharpest minds in logistical warfighter support and stewardship excellence.. You will gain invaluable knowledge in materiel support to bases and methods to ensure that operations are both efficient and safe when operating in hostile environments.


Leverage the best opportunity of 2012 to:

  • Address key issues including drawdown from Afghanistan, preparing for the Pacific transition, and the increasing use of contractors on deployed operations
  • Examine the ways industry can help by concentrating on the provision of fuel, water, and equipment support to the front line
  • Discuss requirements and modifications that support retrograde, reset, and redistribution operations
  • Emphasize cost efficiency and uncover opportunities for industry to pair with government to ensure that logistic capabilities are maximized
