A panel of senior leaders will talk about how the military services are addressing emerging threats at installations across the U.S., when Installation Innovation Forum 2020 convenes in San Antonio, Texas, Feb. 10-12.
Many installations face some of the same issues, such as encroachment, extreme weather events, force protection and deteriorating infrastructure both off and on the base.
The IIF panel will feature Lt. Gen. Jason Evans, deputy chief of staff, Army G-9, where he oversees installation issues; Vice. Adm. Mary Jackson, commander of Navy Installations Command; Maj. Gen. John Wilcox, commander of Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center; and Edward Parkinson, executive director of the Department of Commerce’s First Responder Network Authority.
Registration rates for IIF increase at midnight Eastern time Friday night.
