FORCE PROJECTION SYMPOSIUM The U.S. Army Tank-automotive and Armaments Command (TACOM) and the U.S. Army Transportation Center will conduct a Force Projection Symposium, with administrative support by the Michigan and Greater Hampton Roads of NDIA. It will be held at the Holiday Inn Hampton Hotel & Conference Center. The theme is "Future Force Projection -- Teaming with Industry -- Moving the Armed Forces anywhere on the Globe". As quoted by General Eric K. Shinseki, U.S. Army Chief of Staff, "The World Situation demands an Army that is strategically responsive. The Army's core competency remains fighting and winning our nation's wars; however, the army must also be capable of operating throughout the range of conflict -- to include low intensity operations and countering asymmetric threats. It must be able to provide early entry forces that can operate jointly, without access to fixed forward bases, and still have the power to slug it out and win campaigns decisively." The registration fee is $290, which includes a continental breakfast and lunch each day. For those companies or organizations that would like to have an exhibit, 8 by 10 foot booths are available for $900 each. Exhibit coordinator is Ralph Klink, 810-574-8657. A block of rooms have been reserved at the Holiday Inn Hampton Hotel for the area prevailing per diem rate for the Government, or $69.00 Industry. To make room reservations call the Holiday Inn at 757-838-0200. Michigan and Greater Hampton Roads Chapter members will be sent flyers with registration form. All others that wish to be included in the mailing, should provide their name and address to Bob Ament of the Michigan Chapter, Fax # 810-776-9731, or Email bobhrt@ibm.net.
