60 Second Spotter-Up Report: Modern Day Marine Day 1
I would say the theme of this year’s Modern Day Marine Military Expo is “Change is Coming” and to better be prepare the Marine Corps for that next generation of warfare, the Marine Corps, in partnership with industry, must identify and procure the best products and services available to allow them to fight and win on future battlefields.
Today there appeared to be over 400 vendors showcasing products as varied as the Marine Corps mission. I saw a collection of products ranging from equipment for the individual Marine like boots, weapons, food and clothing, to large vehicles like the Amphibious Assault Vehicle, Unmanned Aerial System platforms, and everything in between.
As well as experiencing the latest, greatest technological advances, I also had the opportunity to meet face-to-face with many of the nonprofit organizations and agencies that exist to assist service members and veterans.
The following is a list of some of the industry vendors we met today and hope to showcase their products on our website: https://spotterup.com/
