This week, the Army’s Maneuver Support Center of Excellence at Fort Leonard Wood, MO, hosted the first Army Protection Seminar. The Seminar brought together senior leaders from across the Army to address protection equities and modernization. As the character of war continues to evolve, protection of Army forces is critical to enabling the ground force commander. Dugway Proving Ground supported this event through the use of simulants and subject matter experts to demonstrate the capabilities of current systems. Through test, evaluation, and training, the Dugway Proving Ground workforce enables Army, the Joint Force, allies and partners in the delivery of chemical and biological protection capabilities.
