Join General Tim Ray, USAF (Ret.), and members of the FBI Tactical Team at the SIG Sauer Academy for a unique engagement focused on Homeland Resilience and Response.
The SIG Sauer Academy Shooting Center is a state-of-the-art facility featuring 16 shooting lanes spanning 15 to 1,000 yards. Its advanced indoor ranges are equipped with variable lighting and moving target systems, providing an unparalleled training environment.
Our program will begin with a breakfast discussion on cyber and tactical challenges, joined by members of the FBI’s Cyber and Tactical Teams. Special Agents Joelle Calavecchia and Robert “Bobby” Walsh will deliver a Homeland Threat Assessment, followed by a briefing on drone intelligence, counterintelligence, and associated homeland security risks.
For planning purposes:
- Participants are responsible for their own transportation.
- For those who can join, dinner and lodging have been arranged for the evening of Wednesday, Oct. 29
- On Thursday, Oct. 30, 8:45 a.m., we will convene at SIG Sauer for breakfast.
Please let us know if you will be joining us for dinner, the SIG Sauer engagement, and whether you will need hotel accommodations.
