Last week I attended the 2025 AUSA Global Force Symposium & Exposition.

The 2025 AUSA Global Force Symposium & Exposition explored the U.S. Army’s modernization strategy by fostering collaboration between military and industry leaders to drive transformational change and showcase cutting-edge technology. Key areas of focus included AI, cybersecurity, and advanced communication systems.

Key Objectives:
Focus on Army Modernization: The event centered around the Army’s efforts to modernize and evolve into a multi-domain capable force.

Collaboration and Knowledge Exchange: It served as a platform for senior military leaders, defense industry professionals, and key stakeholders to connect, share insights, and discuss critical topics like research and development, acquisition, and force sustainment.

Showcasing Technology: Attendees had the opportunity to see and discuss emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, robotics, and advanced communication systems.

Driving Transformational Change: The symposium fostered collaboration and drove change within the defense industrial base, ensuring the Army could conduct multi-domain operations (MDO).

Focus on the Future: The event examined the Army’s modernization strategy with an emphasis on maintaining an over-match in the context of great power competition.
This symposium played a pivotal role in shaping the future of the Army and its relationship with the defense industrial base.

What a great networking and educational experience. I am already looking forward to next year’s event.
