One of the four strategies in the ADC 50th Anniversary plan is to “launch the next evolution of America’s defense communities by realizing the vision of being one community.” This strategy involves two major goals: (1) reinforce the enduring interdependence of America’s defense communities and our partners in the military; (2) expand the vision of interdependence to include a broader focus on mission assurance. ADC has formed a workgroup to develop a vision and roadmap for the future of military-community collaboration and partnership for the next 5, 10, and 20 years.

Over the last six months, the workgroup has collected information, including hosting an event in July, ADC Connect, to solicit input from a broad range of stakeholders. The following summary of ideas and opportunities serves as a framework for our broader plans to develop a roadmap in 2025. We welcome and encourage your input.
