JINSA Co-Sponsors Symposium on "New Technologies for the U.S. Army"
 On October 18, 2012, JINSA, in conjunction with the Reserve Officers Association (ROA), and the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) held a symposium on "New Technologies for the U.S. Army: Future Prospects and Policy Implications."
As an organization dedicated to supporting a strong American military, JINSA was honored to host discussions relating to new technologies that will prepare the U.S. Army to better address future security challenges. It is our hope that this will be the first of a series of symposia that will address this important issue for each branch of the armed services and the Department of Homeland Security.
