This year’s Warrior Expo West in San Diego was even better than last year. Once again participants came from bases around the Pacific Rim as well as the Western US in order to see the latest in equipment and services from a variety of providers. Attendance was much larger than last year and the number of vendors was also larger making for a great atmosphere.

Now that Expos are offered on both coasts they have become even more accessible. As travel funds become more constrained it’s great to be able to stay a bit closer to home. This also helps to mitigate travel time. Depending on where you are coming from, you can easily spend two travel days. Since both shows are in locations with a large military presence the venues offer billeting for personnel on travel orders as well as local economies that are military friendly.

In addition to the equipment you would generally expect to see at a show like this, there were also vendors specializing in dive equipment and boats, EOD tools, tentage and other expeditionary gear as well as a full section of MRO products including all terrain vehicles and the ADS MRO truck. Look for a few more articles over the next few weeks discussing some of these capabilities.

For those of you who missed Warrior Expo West, be sure to register for Warrior Expo East in Virginia Beach, VA, July 14 & 15. Not only will you get to interact directly with manufacturer reps, but also observe hands on demonstrations, participate in breakout sessions and listen to key note speaker GEN Stanley McChrystal.
