At MOAA, we know a strong national defense depends on more than advanced equipment and rigorous training. It’s the people who are the backbone of our national security.

People outrank everything. And MOAA wants to ensure this community thrives.

We’ve been able to do that through advocacy, education, and charity for the past 95 years.

But in 2025, MOAA will mobilize in a new and exciting way with TotalForce+, a unique conference that will bring thousands together to strengthen our national defense and identify solutions to support the men and women who serve and have served our country.

TotalForce+: A New Platform for Solutions

On Oct. 28-29, MOAA will host the inaugural Total Force+ at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Md. This event will comprise decisionmakers from DoD, the VA, industry, and academia as well as servicemembers and their families, who represent the heart of the uniformed services.

This conference will center on four enduring pillars:

• Modernize Talent Management and Innovation: Ensuring we attract, retain, and maximize the potential of those who serve.
• Optimize Leadership Development: Building leaders and improving individual performance to match the demands and complexities of modern service.
• Advance Quality of Life: Addressing the holistic needs of servicemembers and their families, from health care to housing.
• Amplify the Veteran and Retiree Experience: Creating a continuum of opportunity and care from initial transition and throughout one’s post-service years.
  
  

Learning from the Best, Innovating for the Future

We recognize the vital role of existing military conferences led by fellow military and veterans service organizations. TotalForce+ will complement these efforts while providing a laser focus on the people and people ecosystem that make a strong national defense possible.

Whether it’s navigating the challenges of recruitment, leveraging AI and modernizing IT systems, refining transition support, or ensuring veterans receive top-tier health care, TotalForce+ aims to foster innovation and collaboration. It will be the venue where fresh ideas meet tested expertise, driving change.

A Vision for the Future

MOAA’s commitment is long-term: We aim to make TotalForce+ a flagship event that grows in impact and scope year after year. The success of this event will be measured by its ability to create lasting, positive change.

Join us in shaping the future of a thriving, resilient uniformed services community. Together, we’ll ensure those who make a strong national defense possible continue to receive the support they deserve.
