A joint venture between Military Comm Networks and USVETS TV on the TV Worldwide network, After Action Report is a 13-week Internet TV interactive webcast series that addresses current issues relevant to active duty troops, veterans and their families.
"We're extremely excited to produce After Action Report," said Dennis Butts, former US Marine and CEO of Military Comm Networks. "The program uses an innovative hybrid live video conference and streaming media webcast format. This enables the troops themselves to participate via multiparty video conferencing and interact with After Action Report experts and panelists live on stage while a webcast audience of thousands can email questions and comments in real-time. We're pioneering a level of collaboration that hasn't been achieved before."
"TV Worldwide is excited that our USVets TV Internet channel was selected to distribute this innovative, interactive program," said Dave Gardy, TV Worldwide Chairman and CEO and a former officer in the US Naval Reserve. "We couldn't ask for better partners to assist us in producing this important series. Military Comm Networks and Nefsis are each pioneers in what they do and we value their vision and expertise in making After Action Report a success."
Throughout its season, After Action Report will cover topics such as Home Care, PTSD and veteran military leadership and success. The first episode successfully aired Friday, August 26, via live and archived Internet TV digital media, and reached tens of thousands of global viewers. The next episode will air Friday, September 9, at 1:00pm ET and will focus on traumatic brain injuries. The final show will air November 18, 2011.
"After Action Report presents informative content for participants and viewers, but also provides access to resources for those seeking assistance," said Tom Toperczer, Nefsis Vice President of Marketing. "We're honored to provide the technology platform that enables industry leaders to provide their expertise in real-time Q&A format."
