In an era of constrained budgets contrasted with increased uncertainty and violence, these assets will be critical to managing chaos and maintaining order in the global commons. This will require SOF to execute persistent operations, globally, in support of U.S. National objectives working in conjunction with our friends and allies. This environment dictates innovative force structure, interoperable technology, policy and doctrine beyond the current construct. In a unique Washington based Government Industry forum, the 26th Annual SO/LIC Symposium & Exhibition will explore requirements, options and potential statutory/policy/technology solutions to support persistent SOF operations across the globe.
