MAF Tacticians and Intelligence Warriors,
This is the 180-Day message for AATTC's 36th Tactics and Intelligence Symposium, held in Saint Joseph, Missouri, 25-28 June 2018. This event promotes finding relevant solutions to emerging tactical challenges, while building enduring relationships with fellow air mobility professionals, sister services and international partners. This year's theme is "TAC Talks – Ideas Worth Spreading" Discussion and workshops will center on ensuring MAF platforms are viable and equipped for tomorrow's fight, and attendees will have the opportunity to learn from numerous subject matter experts and vendors. The Symposium is open to tacticians and intelligence professionals from DOD, USMIL and select International Partner nations.
In addition to receiving SME briefings from multiple backgrounds, attendees will also participate in open forum discussions intended to focus on the sharing of ideas and facilitate the improvement of each individual Major Weapons System (MWS). The discussions will be audience driven in subject. All participants and attendees are encouraged to bring a minimally prepared 5-10 minute presentation on an issue/solution they think could benefit the entire MAF community. Please email the Symposium Chair and Vice Chair with a very brief description of the subject being presented.
