According to the AOC announcement, speakers at the convention will rigorously examine what the lessons learned to date from the current conflicts mean for maneuver in the EMS battlespace – in all warfighting domains, in all theaters of operation – and EMS superiority.
The association states that the opening keynote address will feature Maj. Gen. Annmarie K. Anthony, Director of the Joint Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations Center, U.S. Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM).
