Colonel Richard Hansen, Former Programme Manager, Soldier Warrior, PEO Soldier, US Army had to say about SETAF 2015…

“I am excited about the prospect of SETAF as we intend to offer and generate a more informal set of focused discussions, in lieu of the typical PowerPoint presentations. The event offers a fresh and unique way to bring together our international soldier community to share similar progress and successes as well as challenges and obstacles from which we can all learn and benefit.”
