2025 DoD Maintenance Symposium Industry Day: Regional Sustainment Framework Expansion (USCENTCOM)

SPECIAL NOTICE

Join us at the 2025 Department of Defense (DoD) Maintenance Symposium for exclusive one-on-one Industry Day sessions with DoD leaders, focusing on the expansion of the Regional Sustainment Framework (RSF) implementation into the United States Central Command (USCENTCOM) theater.

Industry Day at the 2025 DoD Maintenance Symposium: The Office of the Secretary of Defense for Sustainment is excited to announce focused one-on-one Industry Day sessions with industry scheduled for December 9-12, 2025, in conjunction with the annual DoD Maintenance Symposium in Louisville, KY. These sessions will provide industry with the opportunity to discuss the Department's expansion of the RSF into the USCENTCOM theater. The RSF aims to bring sustainment for military weapon systems closer to where they are needed.

DoD RSF: In May 2024, the DoD introduced the RSF to enhance regional sustainment processes. This initiative aligns with both the 2025 Interim National Defense Strategic Guidance and the National Defense Industrial Strategy.

The RSF aims to develop distributed regional co-sustainment capabilities closer to where they are needed by collaborating with allies, partners, and the U.S. and international defense industrial bases to support the Joint and Combined Force more effectively.

RSF is crucial for operations in contested environments where traditional methods of retrograding materials for repair and maintenance are becoming less feasible.
