“MilLog” moves to June

Dear Colleague,

Expanded military operations in Afghanistan are underway. As regional priorities change, troops and supplies are being deployed, re-deployed, and moved to support expanded military operations. The demand for mission support operations has never been greater. A reflection of this is theArmy and Marine Corps being asked to increase their combined force by 92,000personnel.

The Administration has demanded that our troops have the “resources, support, andequipment they need to protect themselves and fulfill their mission” and has pledgedto support troop movement by increasing resources for transportation, logistics,and supplies. Its strategy relies on the logistics community’s capacity to equip,sustain, and support a globally deployed force.

IDGA’s Military Logistics Summit 2009 will provide updated DoD missionpriorities and the information you need now to ensure global DoD mission success.The event will bring together the thought leaders and decision-makers in logisticsoperations to discuss the latest implementation strategies and programinitiatives to ensure the flexibility and preparedness of our military’s future. Critical topics to be discussed include:• How changing priorities in deployment and distribution will affect the defensetransportation network• Enhancing combat unit readiness through more effective supply chain managementand optimization processes• Executing performance based logistics for more efficient and cost-effectivesustainment• Major acquisition priorities for essential logistics and transportation capabilitiesDon’t delay - register now at www.MilitaryLogisticsSummit.com or by calling IDGAcustomer service at 1-800-882-8684.

I look forward to meeting you in June!
