Institute of Land Warfare

Historically, the Army has entered conflicts either unprepared or underprepared for the operating environments. The first battles of our Nation’s wars have often taught us difficult lessons before our Soldiers and leaders adapted and ultimately prevailed – often at great cost.

A central focus of this symposium is on preparing the Army for an unpredictable global security environment out to the year 2020 and beyond – while continuing the transition from combat operations in the U.S. Central Command Area of Responsibility. This progression must enable our Soldiers to immediately succeed across a wide spectrum of land power operations.

The symposium will explore the concept of “strategic land power” and how the Army will contribute its significant capabilities to the Joint Force of 2020 even as the nation’s fiscal challenges drive the Army to be smaller, more agile, and indeed, more capable.

Special emphasis will be devoted to the indispensable role that our industry partners provide to the United States Army. Guest presentations and panel discussions will provide a myriad of information as it relates to the direction and progress of balancing our resources, equipment, personnel, doctrine and training to provide the essential protective umbrella that our nation deserves.

The Army has made a substantial investment of time and resources to focus on how best to do business and accomplish the mission of defending the citizens of the United States and fulfilling our international commitments. The presentations at the 2014 AUSA Winter Symposium will highlight the efforts that TRADOC, AMC and other Army organizations have made towards transforming the Army using an Enterprise Approach to management.

Support to our Soldiers will be balanced, focused, and technologically superior to any Army in the world. Senior Army, DoD and Industry leaders will provide dialog and information on the progress of our efforts to modernize and sustain the force and more importantly, win on any battlefield.

The key objective of AUSA’s ILW Winter Symposium will be to provide an open forum for attendees to interact and participate in discussions about the Army modernization efforts and immediate needs of our Soldiers in harm’s way. Participants will be available for challenging questions from the audience.

The panels and presentations will cover such topics as strategic modernization, sustaining and rebalancing Army forces, the future of the Network Integration Evaluation (NIE), the potential for public-private partnerships, and the continued importance of investing in science and technology for the future. This unique symposium will demonstrate the importance of the Army’s land power to the regional combatant commanders around the world.

AUSA REGULATIonS1) Complete Show Rules & Regulations will be included in the

Exhibitor Services Kit and will be mailed under separate cover.2) Because of the tight time constraints, logistical problems and local

union rules, AUSA has placed the overall supervision of the erection and dismantling of exhibits under Global Experience Specialists (GES), who have been designated the “Official Contractor.” Individual Exhibitors may retain the services of GES at their own expense. Exhibitors desiring to use display contractors other than the designated “Official Contractor” must obtain advance approval from AUSA. A written request must be presented by the Exhibitor to AUSA at least 30 days in advance of the first day of move-in, and must include the name and address of the contractor, the name of the on-site supervisor, a certificate of insurance for the contractor, and a statement signed by the contractor that they will comply with AUSA’s rules and regulations and cooperate with the official contractor, GES—4801 B Hollins Ferry Rd., Halethorpe, MD 21227.

3) Display firms engaged by Exhibitors must comply fully with all rules and regulations listed by AUSA. Labor utilized by outside contractors must be drawn through GES and/or through the business agent of the appropriate union. It is the responsibility of the Exhibitor to ensure compliance.

4) AUSA reserves the right to relocate booths when in the best interest of the show.

UnIon JURISDICTIonS To assist you in planning for your participation in the exposition, we are certain you will appreciate knowing in advance that union labor may be required for installation and dismantling of your display. Alabama is a right-to-work state. This means that any and/or all work done in your exhibit booth area can be performed by any full-time employee of your company. If you need additional help or want an outside contractor to supply labor, then you must use union labor.

Stagehands Union—Members of this union claim jurisdiction over all set-up and dismantling of exhibits including signs & carpet. As an Exhibitor, you will be pleased to know that when union labor is required, you may provide full-time company personnel to work along with them.

Tipping—GES requests that exhibitors not tip its employees. They are paid at an excellent wage scale denoting a professional status, and we feel that tipping is not necessary. This applies to all GES employees.

no SALE CLAUSETo ensure full compliance with IRS rulings, Exhibitor will not make sales, or solicit, or accept orders for any product or service including advertising space, in the exhibit halls or within other facilities of the exhibition.

FIRE REGULATIonSFederal and Local Fire Laws must be strictly observed. Wiring must comply with fire department and underwriters’ rules. Aisles and fire exits cannot be blocked by exhibits.

AUSA SECURITy MEASURESThe Association of the United States Army will provide watchmen to patrol the exhibit areas during the hours when the exhibits are closed. However, exhibitors are responsible for the security of their own exhibits. Additional security may be arranged for with a security agency, if exhibitor deems it necessary. (Exhibitor will inform AUSA of any such additional security measures.)

CAnCELLATIon oF SHoWThe performance of this agreement is subject to any circumstance making it illegal or impossible to hold the exhibit, including Acts of God, war, government regulations, disaster, strikes, civil disorder, or curtailment of transportation facilities. The Agreement may be terminated only for any one of the above reasons by written notice from the Association of the United States Army to the exhibitor. If AUSA must terminate this contract or exhibition (or any part thereof) due to the above mentioned circumstances, AUSA has the sole right to retain such part of the Exhibitor’s rental fee as shall be required to recompense AUSA for expenses incurred up to the time such contingency occurred.
