Join us October 13, 2026 at 4:30 pm ET!
A force that cannot sustain its troops in a contested environment will struggle to prevail, and soldiers on the battlefield don’t have weeks to wait for replacement parts. But vast distances, turbulent weather, aging equipment, and a host of other variables can make sustainment a wicked challenge.
How is the U.S. Army using the latest technologies, from advanced manufacturing to artificial intelligence, to overcome that challenge? Join us for a discussion about how soldiers are using the latest technology to shorten replacement timelines from months to minutes, and what hurdles leaders see ahead.
