The 2009 Intelligence Warfighting Summit, hosted by the Army Intelligence Center of Excellence, will take place Dec. 15-16 in Tucson, Ariz.
Classified sessions of the summit will take place Dec. 17 at Fort Huachuca, Ariz., home of the Intelligence Center of Excellence. This year’s theme is “Intelligence on the Edge: Setting the Conditions for Success.”
The summit will reflect how the days of a brick-and-mortar school or headquarters pushing out guidance to the Army are numbered, Maj. Gen. John Custer, commanding general of the Intelligence Center of Excellence and Fort Huachuca, said in a statement.
Instead captains, warrant officers and sergeants on the battlefield are pushing back lessons learned and insights to the Army.
“We want to bring the intelligence community together to explain the vision of how expertise has moved to the edge,” Custer said in his statement. “We have to develop ways to glean and harvest ideas from the field.”
About 1,400 people, including intelligence professionals and key leaders from the defense community, industry and government agencies, are expected to attend the summit. Featured speakers include Gen. Martin Dempsey, commanding general of Training and Doctrine Command; Lt. Gen. Richard Zahner, deputy chief of staff of the Army for intelligence; and Brig. Gen. Mary Legere, commander of U.S. Intelligence and Security Command.
