The two-day high-level conference served as a platform for reviewing the current security landscape and aligning priorities to make the force future-ready.

This was the second such conference this year, following the first ACC held from April 1-4. The Army described the ACC as a “pivotal forum” where the senior-most leadership of the force brainstorms on conceptual issues, reviews the security situation, and finalizes key policy decisions.
