The only Whole-of-Government
IED event bringing together DoD, DHS, Federal Agencies & local/civil bomb technicians. The
2015 EOD/ IED & Countermine symposium is for all
IED/EOD professionals formatted in an information exchange “townhall” forum. Discussion will encompass current and future trends along with initiatives for battlefield operations, peacekeeping operations, and homeland defense.
Why should you attend the 2015 Symposium?
Today – Improvised Explosive threats are global, enduring and spreading. The
IED has profoundly changed the military formation order of battle, leveling the playing field between an asymmetric enemy and U.S. / Coalition forces both on land and sea. In the Homeland, the threat has never been greater. Attacking the malicious use of explosives in the battlefield or at home depends upon a well-coordinated, all-of-nation, whole-of-government effort.
From terrorists, insurgents or criminal sub-networks,
IEDs are constantly changing. Adversaries are modifying the explosives, switches and how they are emplaced. Global access to defeat technology and resources are necessary to attack the enemy & defeat the threat.
The 2015
EOD/IED & Countermine Symposium brings together a whole-of-government approach with both military and civil offices, key leaders in industry with the sole objective of advancing the mission critical needs of each respective community in
IED defeat.
Our
EOD/IED & Countermine Symposium fosters the dialogue to bridge the gaps, assess policies, plans, and programs for priorities between industry and the
EOD/IED & Countermine community.
