Tuesday, July 26th, 2022AUSA Cancels 2022 Global Force Symposium
Tuesday, January 25th, 2022The Association of the U.S. Army has decided for health and safety reasons and Defense Department travel limitations to cancel the 2022 Global Force Symposium and Exposition that was to be held at the end of March in Huntsville, Alabama.
“The continued spread of COVID-19 in the United States makes it impossible for AUSA to hold an in-person event that we are certain doesn’t pose a risk to attendees,” said retired Gen. Bob Brown, AUSA president and CEO. “We don’t like making this decision but know it is the right one for the Army, industry and members of the public who were planning to attend.”
He added, “We really wanted to have this important event focused on Army transformation and sustainment, but we don’t want to do this at any risk.”
AUSA is planning a March 2023 event in Huntsville.
