Phase II: Connecting US Military and the US Industrial Base Demonstration

Event Overview

The Office of the Secretary of Defense is working with industry leaders to develop a digital solution that will enable forward manufacturing during both contested and disconnected operations.

The Competitive Advantage Pathfinder (CAP) project has progressed to Phase II: Connecting US Military and the US Industrial Base. A Demonstration Event is scheduled for Wednesday, April 23, 2025, at Marine Corps Logistics Base Albany (Albany, GA).

This 1-day, free event will allow interested parties the opportunity to see the system in operation, talk with users to understand feedback, and ask questions about the remaining efforts of this project.

Space is limited, and registration is required so we can ensure that as many people and organizations as possible can see the progress of this critical solution.
