The tragic events of 11 September have drastically altered the way the United Statesassesses the security of the global environment. The fact that we may be attackedagain on our own soil, anywhere, at anytime, with any type of weapon is now a

permanent thought in our nation’s collective conscience. Now, it is more difficult to predictpotential sources of military threats, the conduct of future wars, and the form that threatsand attacks will take. We now face a new enemy known as terrorists and terrorist networks.Those facts coupled with the war in Iraq, compel us to look to our partners in industry forthoughts and break-through ideas. With the Transformation Guidance and Sea Power 21st

Century emphasis on expeditionary maneuver warfare, Seabasing and the Joint WarfightingConcepts, we will aggressively participate in the development of technology to meet thosegoals. The United States Marines have always been known as the world’s preeminent expedi-tionary troops. Coupled with our partners in industry, using science and technology, researchand development, our nation will again have the peace we all desire.

With those thoughts in mind the MCSC will be hosting an Advanced Planning Briefing toIndustry Day April 13 - 14, 2006, at the Marriott Baltimore Waterfront Hotel, Baltimore,Maryland. The MCSC has not had an Industry Day since 2003, therefore this will be a veryinformative and diverse meeting that no one will want to miss.

We will begin with opening remarks from the keynote speaker, the Commandant of theMarine Corps, the Commanding General of Marine Corps Systems Command, DeputyCommandants of Marine Corps Combat Development Command and Installations andLogistics. The second day will begin with Under Secretary of the Navy, and the MarineCorps Deputy Commandant for Programs and Resources. Each of the seven Product GroupDirectors and their Program Mangers will brief, followed by a panel question and answerperiod. All Marine Corps Systems Command Independent Program Managers, and Interna-tional Programs will be giving briefs. Simultaneously, we will be conducting workshops onCommercial Enterprise Omnibus Support Services (CEOss), how to bid for service con-tracts, product contracts using Navy Electronic Commerce On-line (NECO), an overviewon how the Marine Corps Systems Command Budget works, and Small Business Overview.For the entire two days we will have static displays from each product group and the MarineCorps Combat Development Command. There will be subject matter experts and supportstaff in each display to answer your questions or set up appointments for more in-depthmeetings.
