SUMMARY:Multi-Agency Craft Conference (MACC) 2014
DTSTAMP:20140519T115826
DESCRIPTION:The Multi-Agency Craft Conference (MACC) provides a forum for o
 pen exchange and discussion about boats and craft between government agenci
 es and the maritime community.
\n
\nThe primary focus is the dialog between
  the Department of Defense and other government agencies on common issues u
 nique to boats and craft in their service. The types of craft discussed ran
 ge from Army & Navy service craft to Navy and Coast Guard patrol boats to N
 aval Special Warfare and Marine Corps combatant craft. Craft types include 
 RIB's\, patrol and insertion craft\, landing craft\, utility craft and spec
 ial purpose craft.
\n
\nThe conference serves as a way to capitalize on the
  joint nature of today's military environment. No service can afford to re-
 learn lessons that another service has already solved\, whether it pertains
  to operations and tactics\, an equipment solution\, maintenance practices\
 , or evaluating and implementing new technology. Each organization has a va
 luable corporate background that can greatly assist other activities. The c
 onference leverages larger returns from the combined efforts of the relativ
 ely small boat communities in each service. Within each service\, boats and
  craft remain low on the funding priority list and the conference helps pre
 vent different agencies from expending funds solving a common problem.
\n
\
 nIndustry participants are a vital part of MACC. Industry participants are 
 not treated simply as exhibitors but rather as attendees\, and their partic
 ipation in the discussions is encouraged.
