FORCE XXI SYMPOSIUM MAY 15-16, 1995 The Fort Monmouth Chapter of the AUSA will hold its Fifth Bi-Annual Symposium 15-16 May, 1995 at the Long Branch Hilton. Our theme this year is ``Force XXI.'' There will be three sessions: ``Communications Environment for Force XXI,'' ``Material Developer Challenges'' and ``Industry's Challenge.'' Force XXI will be a force organized around information and information technology. AUSA's Institute of Land Warfare has defined the challenge to the Force XXI Commander as responding to change. Technological superiority on the battlefield is the exploitation of real-time force projection information by field commanders who can utilize this information to out-maneuver, out-shoot and out think the enemy. The Force XXI Commander must be a master in demonstrating the skill to customize precise digitized information. This year our Symposium will bring together the Army's leadership, focusing on analyzing the requirements; developing doctrine, training equipment, and logistics support. Therefore, Force XXI is the reconceptualization and redesign of the force at all echelons. This challenge is a perfect precursor to the CECOM hosted Advance Planning Briefing for Industry (APBI); which immediately follows our symposium. The APBI will address the C4IEW systems that play a major role in meeting the goal of fielding a lethal, digitized land force with the operational versatility to respond to a wide range of crises and opposing forces.
