The world’s only military logistics conference held in official partnership with the UAE Armed Forces, Defence Logistics UAE, is returning to Abu Dhabi from 16th - 18th April 2012. This prestigious event brings 100+ senior military decision makers from the UAE GHQ, UAE Centres of Excellence and senior officers from across the UAE Air Force, Army and Navy. Defence Logistics UAE will address the latest military logistics strategies, requirements and capabilities that will support the UAE military to prepare for a range of military and humanitarian operations (you can access the agenda here: http://bit.ly/A0uYmG ).

In the wake of the Joint Logistics Command that was established last year, one major concern that will be addressed in 2012 is the importance of synchronised and integrated logistical support across forces. The Director of Joint Logistics for the UAE Armed Forces GHQ, Colonel Yahya Shaheen Al Hammadi, will be delivering an opening speech on the development of joint logistics strategies across the Armed Forces.

In order to find ways of overcoming major logistical challenges, improving joint logistics support and gaining up-to-date feedback from recent and on-going operations in conflicts such as Iraq and Afghanistan, the conference agenda also includes high-level international speakers from the US Army Central Command (USARCENT), UK MoD, French MoD, Finnish Army Materiel Command, Czech MoD and Danish Defence Command.

Due to the current and urgent logistical challenges that the conference addresses, Defence Logistics UAE is marking its place as the most important and high-level military logistics conference in the region. According to Major General (Ret) David Shouesmith, Former Assistant Chief of Defence Staff of the UK MoD and Vice President of PRTM: 

"The Defence Logistics UAE Summit brings together the global military logistics community to debate the key issues arising from the uncertain strategic threat environment and the changing shape of Defence markets. For both military and industry representatives responsible for delivering military logistics and support, these tensions need to be managed at the same time as opportunities seized. The sharing of experience, exchange of views and networking opportunities afforded by the summit make this a ’must-attend’ conference for global military logistics decision makers."
