The Risk Management Directorate (RMD) – Safety Division will host the inaugural Safety Operational Advisory Group (SOAG) from 28-30 April 2026, held in conjunction with Modern Day Marine. This essential annual event allows safety professionals to enhance Marine Corps safety culture and readiness by collaborating on key challenges and initiatives.
The SOAG serves as a critical forum for the Fleet Marine Forces (FMF) to engage directly with headquarters and supporting establishments, bridging the gap between operational forces and safety stakeholders. Further details, including a full agenda and coordination instructions, will be announced via MARADMIN and on the forthcoming SOAG page on the RMD Safety Division website. Funding: Travel is unit-funded.
