The assistant secretaries overseeing manpower and reserve affairs for the three military services will join ADC at the Defense Communities National Summit in April.

Agnes Gereben Schaefer from the Army, Franklin Parker from the Navy and Alex Wagner from the Air Force will also talk about finding new ways to ensure the military is an employer of choice.
