The Joint Fires Conference will be held at the Victory Services Club in central London on the 23rd & 24th April 2013. The aim of the conference will be to examine the likely development of Joint Lethal & Non Lethal Fires in the Coalition environment during the next decade.
2013 will end with US led coalition forces still engaged in a decade long counter insurgency campaign in Afghanistan. Western governments envisage an end to kinetic military involvement in that theatre by 2015. However, much remains to be done and other parts of the world remain unstable. Meanwhile most of the contributory nations face significant financial retrenchment at home. This will force many to reconsider their defence priorities for the next decade with implications for deployable forces. In these circumstances it is likely that a future conflict involving western nations will be, by necessity, a coalition operation.
In both the current and a possible future conflict achieving the greatest possible effect from the fewest possible assets at the lowest possible cost will be a high priority. Efficient and effective integration of Joint and Coalition fires offers an opportunity to achieve greatest effect. During the course of the current operation in Afghanistan many important Joint Fires lessons have been learnt and implemented by the participating nations. However, it remains unclear how many of these capabilities will be retained within core competencies in the different nations with implications for future coalition capabilities. An objective review of these lessons, their likely application in current and future conflict, an assessment of required capabilities and an examination of associated risk mitigation at the international level is timely.
