In its National Security Strategy, the Trump administration identified the deployment of a secure 5th generation — 5G — wireless telecommunications capability as a priority. Since then, the secure fielding of a 5G network has become even more critical for our national security, economic competitiveness, and to the Department of Defense. This special event will focus on the emergence of 5G capability. Particular attention will be paid to how the evolving state of 5G can apply to DoD training and education efforts. The panelists, representing diverse perspectives, will look into the changing future landscape of 5G and what the development of 5G-enabled capabilities could mean. Questions to be explored include: • How can 5G help shape future military training and education efforts and advance mission readiness and lethality? • What opportunities exist for the military, industry, and academia to collaborate on 5G efforts? • Can 5G spur leap-ahead advances for our warfighters and the commercial sector?
