Ahlan Benzi,

It's gone out to the widest Modeling & Simulation community possible in DoD, but I haven't received any confirmed takers yet, at least not through me. Will follow up.

Very Respectfully,

Benzi,

 

        Hold off for a moment--I've been introduced to some Army organizations that really are focused on Modeling & Simulation in a way that the Network CFT is not. Let me provide you a consolidated list in the next week.

 

Very Respectfully,

Hey Ethan 

 

Will send an invitation ASAP.

The MajGen is welcomed and we would love to have him speak as well or Mr. McCarthy - and of course TRADOC.

 

We will obviously build an additional agenda for the 2-star with IDF officials.

        Ahlan Benzi,

        

                I think the US Army will send some reps to this conference. One of our leading experts in modeling and simulation is:

        

        -Mr. Mike McCarthy (SES), Chief, Plans and Operations, Network Cross-Functional Team

        

                He would like to attend. Let me know what you need to send him an invitation, or you can push it through me. He mentioned the possibility of bringing his boss, a Major General, but I thought that might be higher rank than you are looking for at this conference. Am I right about that?

        

                I am also contacting some other entities in TRADOC and the Army at large about participation.

        

        Very Respectfully,

        Distinguished attaché's,

        I hope this email finds you well, and that you are enjoying the last glimpse of the brutal Israeli winter.

        We would like to thank you for your participation in the "Military Operation Simulation Summit & Strategic Overview" that was held in Camp Aviv on January 22nd, 2019.

        This Preview Event is essential for the success of the Military Operation Simulation Summit that is expected to take place later this year, between November 12th - 14th, 2019.

        The IDF - J3 has begun preparations for the upcoming summit, inviting participants and relevant officials to take part in panels and talks during the summit.

        As part of these preparations, we would like to receive your input regarding the following topics:

        1) What Branches in your military hold responsibility for Force Build-Up and Force
        Deployment?

        2) Does your military have an equivalent to the IDF's Concept Laboratory? If so, what tools do they utilize to fulfill their mission? (Example IDF's King's Game System, as presented in the slideshow attached).

        3) Does your country have a Leading Industry in the field of Operation Simulation? (Example - Israel's Rafael).

        4) Are you aware or familiar with similar positions in Academies/Research Center's in your country that may be of interest to us?

        5) Who are the relevant officials in your military that you would like the IDF invite to the upcoming Summit?

        Attached you will find the slideshow presented during the Conference and a copy of the "save the date". A more detailed Official Invitation will follow. 

        As a reminder, we have available speaking opportunities!

        My team, and myself, are at your service for any questions and concerns.

         

        v/r,

        

        CPT Benzi Zimmerman
