WASHINGTON — The nation’s capital is going through its first cold snap of the year, but inside the Walter E. Washington Convention Center next week things will be plenty hot — if you’re interested in the US Army, at least.

That’s right, it’s time once again for the annual Association of the US Army (AUSA) conference, the largest gathering of industry and leaders from the defense community in the United States. And to let you know what to keep an eye out for this year, Breaking Defense Editor-in-Chief Aaron Mehta and Senior Reporter Ashley Roque are here to help.

In the video above, the two talk about the trends they’ll be keeping an eye on and what news they expect to hear.

The Breaking Defense team will be at AUSA in force and has already started out coverage, which you can find by clicking here. Make sure to check back early and often as AUSA gets underway.
