In response to evolving threats and increasing operational complexity, the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Research & Engineering has identified contested logistics as one of its six Critical Technology Areas (CTAs), underscoring its importance in ensuring U.S. military access to mission-critical resources in disrupted or denied environments. The 2026 Summit will highlight how the DoW is modernizing its vast global supply chains to maintain effective and resilient logistics operations, ensuring warfighters have the capabilities and resources necessary to achieve battlefield success in contested environments.

This year’s Assured Logistics Summit will examine how the Joint Force is adapting to enable mobility and freedom of movement, deliver resources, equipment, and manpower, and sustain operations at the point of need through initiatives focused on strengthening the resiliency, readiness, and security of military supply chains. Join us at DSI’s 5th Annual Assured Logistics Summit to convene with senior leaders from the DoW, military services, industry, logistics experts, and academia in a dynamic ‘town-hall’ style event. Attendees will gain the unique opportunity to engage with the policies, technologies, and innovative solutions that keep the Warfighter prepared, support, and resilient in complex operating environments.

DSI’s team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Summit’s content and focus areas, and we will assemble the most respected minds in logistics and sustainment as well as key policy makers across military and civilian offices. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all services and organizations to bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers.

DSI’s Summit will provide a forum to address and improve internal and external initiatives, meet with and hear from partner organizations, disseminate vital capability requirements to industry, increase visibility within the larger community, and generally support their mission.

The Summit is open and complimentary to all DoW and Federal employees and is considered an educational and training forum.
