Workshop Information
The workshop theme is “EMSO Assessments”. From the campaign level through the engineering and system level, from individual capability development to mission integration, how should the DoD assess EMSO? How should EMSO readiness be assessed for units, test and training ranges, and staff planning and execution at the Joint and Combatant Commander level? What are the tools and data that are needed? We want to bring together warfighters, EMSO subject matter experts, researchers, and others in a collaborative working environment to tackle these potential gaps and seams.
Registration is closed.
