IDGA’s Defense Logistics & Support Summit on October 29-30 in Arlington, Virginia, will bring together esteemed military leaders to analyze the cyber risks associated with defense logistics, assess weaknesses in the defense industrial base, and work towards a decreased reliance on foreign materials.

One of the leading topics at this year’s event will be managing logistics in contested environments, and the top focus area in contested logistics is the Indo-Pacific region. The U.S. DoD defines its Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) region as stretching from the west coast of the U.S. to India’s western border, and from Antarctica to the North Pole. The region is home to over 50% of the world's population and includes 38 nations, such as Australia, North Korea, Taiwan, and many others that represent both allies and adversaries.The region has become critical for U.S. national security as it has become the focal point for U.S. efforts to deter Chinese military aggression.

This report will provide an overview of defense logistics in the Indo-Pacific region, including topics such as:

• Spending trends
• An analysis of key programs in the region
• Regional challenges to US logistics
• Best practices for building supply chain resiliency in the Indo-Pacific.
