UNITY

When the U.S.N.S.T.A. was established 12 years ago, the spirit that grew out of that first assembly was unity in training. That spirit holds true today. Even though the attendees came from different fields and from different parts of the country, everyone who attended has a responsibility to respond to threats within their operational environment. By coming together these responders get a chance to share their experiences and sharpen each other’s skills.

One of the biggest challenges that training coordinators and commanders face is budgetary limitations. The U.S.N.S.T.A. would not be able to provide this training opportunity without the involvement of all the exhibitors, presenters, and sponsors that contribute in many ways to help offset the costs for attendees.
