Following closely on the heels of the logistics-sponsored “Additive Manufacturing is Here” webcast series that kicks off tomorrow, wanted to let LOG Blog readers know about a new Sustainment webcast series that launches on Tuesday December 8 as well!

Working collaboratively with our colleagues at the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Materiel Readiness, this new quarterly Sustainment webcast series is designed “…to fill the void of opportunities afforded for collaboration by face-to-face events such as the annual DoD Maintenance Symposium, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Sustainment is establishing a virtual, quarterly Sustainment Series. The inaugural offerings are scheduled for the week of December 6, 2020 and start with the annual Maintenance Innovation Challenge on December 7, 2020, followed by an opening session featuring a senior leader welcome and Global Conditions keynote at 11:00 am EST on Dec 8, 2020. Two intriguing panels titled 1) How Many Rubber Gloves Do You Actually Have? - Joint Force Logistics Lessons Learned from COVID-19 presented by the Joint Staff and 2) The Challenges to Our Organic Industrial Base Mosaic curated by Principal Deputy Secretary of Defense for Logistics will follow.

The Sustainment Series webcasts will operate on a quarterly schedule thereafter and provide the opportunity to examine and discuss timely and relevant issues the maintenance and sustainment communities are facing.”
