In April 2006, Deputy Defense Secretary, Mr. Gordon England, approved a
blueprint for how US military forces will expand their capacity and
skills to conduct irregular warfare, fulfilling a central proposal of
the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) and ultimately improving
capabilities to combat symmetric threats. Current conflicts continue to
expose equipment and technology gaps that impeded the combat of
asymmetric threats.
Asymmetric Warfare 2007 will be an informative and highly engaging
executive forum where leading experts in the field from across the
forces will brief the delegates on identifying current asymmetric
threats and on developing cohesive strategies to combat them. The
program will explore current capabilities, lessons learned from
operations and explore future training and technological requirements
for irregular warfare campaigns. In addition to this, Asymmetric Warfare
2007 also takes a look at the most challenging asymmetric threat to US
and coalition forces, improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and the
irregular warfare challenges in the GWOT. Industry will be given the
opportunity to hear the requirements of asymmetric warfare programs
briefed from the decision makers.
