2009 Symposium
26-29 January 2009
Embracing Our Heroes - Shaping Our World:
Educating Servicemembers, Spouses and Families
The island of Oahu in Hawaii is the US military hub of the Pacific and Asia. Home of one of the services major combatant or joint commands, Pacific Command (PACOM), Hawaii contains the highest density of joint forces and component headquarters for its size in the world. With an area of responsibility covering over 50 % of the world's surface and 60% of its population, the PACOM area of responsibility represents one of the nation's greatest and most diverse challenges to continuing education of Servicemembers and their families. Vast distances, dispersed operations, deployments and unique educational circumstances created by these conditions make Hawaii an educational "center of gravity" for those willing to take on the challenge of providing educational programs and support to our nation's finest. CCME has selected Hawaii as the site for our 2009 conference with these challenges in mind and hopes that our site selection will help all participants better understand and meet the needs of one of our most difficult military educational environments.
