Pre-Conference Focus Day B: 20th February 2012
Through Life Support
Rationale: Over the past year, Through Life Support has come to the fore as the key subject shaping NATO defence spending and future strategies. As ISAF TCNs and wider NATO forces look to streamline their logistics supply and equipment whilst still providing the most flexible supply chains and advanced equipment for operational troops, it's become vital to understand the requirements and challenges facing supply chain management and in-theatre MRO.
Moreover, with an increasing emphasis in regions such as the Middle East and Central Asia on long-term integrated Through Life Support contracts designed to aid the development of indigenous expertise, the need for international collaboration and sharing of lessons learned is becoming of vital importance to an increasingly connected international TLS community.
Top Benefits:
- Gain direct insight on military requirements for the logistical delivery of capabilities to front line operations.
- Benefit from in depth understanding on the key maintenance, repair and upgrade challenges facing current forces, and the investment required to overcome these obstacles.
- Discover how regional solutions in providing capability, availability and affordability across a range of platforms can be translated to solve wider international challenges.
