Defence Logistics Event 2015

Providing logistic support to diverse forces is made all the more difficult when operating as part of an international or multinational body. This challenge is further pronounced when tackling campaigns that dramatically differ from recent experiences, for example Operations Other Than War (OOTW). You may be required to maintain complex supply chains across great distances and in areas with far less infrastructure than in recent theatres. The short term expeditionary nature of campaigns in the near future renders response times critical; in the case of humanitarian crises, responses are often required within days.

In 2015, keynote speakers will be:
1. Major General Ramon Pardo De Santayana Y Gomez-Olea, Director of Maintenance, Spanish Army
2. Brigadier General James Vechery, Director Logistics, US AFRICOM
3. Brigadier General Dionigi Loria, Head of Logistics Directorate, EUMS/EEAS
4. Brigadier General Sergio de Almeida, Chief of Logistics Integration, Brazilian Armed Forces
5. Brigadier General Dariusz Lukowski, Chief of Logistics, J4, Polish General Staff
