Agile Combat Support (ACS) is the capability produced by the forces and processes that create, sustain and protect Air and Space Forces across the full spectrum of military operations. Over 80% of any Air Force deployment is comprised of ACS capabilities.

As the Air Force transforms from a threat-based to a capabilities-based planning and modernization construct, there is an increase in demand for agile combat support capabilities that deliver precise effects. As the Global War on Terrorism continues, the need for lighter, leaner, ACS systems/capabilities, in the realms of infrastructure, logistics, and force protection is a reality.

The purpose of the conference is to help educate its attendees, as well as facilitate networking within the ACS community. Following are just a few of the goals the conference hopes to achieve:

• Give attendees an understanding of ACS, e.g., Doctrine and CONOPS
• Discuss the planning processes and capability shortfalls in ACS with representatives involved in ACS modernization across the Air Force
• Provide an update on the status of efforts, and obtain a vector check on the direction for future modernization and planning issues
• Provide a venue for developers of potential ACS solutions to showcase their capabilities to the Air Force ACS customer base
• Networking with the ACS community
