    Dragon's Lair 9    

    The XVIII Airborne Corps is proud to announce that it will partner with United States Indo-Pacific Command (INDO-PACOM) to co-host the ninth installment of the innovative series Dragon's Lair on November 2nd in O'Ahu Hawaii. Dragon's Lair brings an opportunity to unlock new ideas for the advancement of the U.S. military and bring fresh perspectives aimed to meet current and future challenges through optimization, modernization, and transformation. In August 2020, the XVIII Airborne Corps, known as America's Contingency Corps, developed Dragon's Lair, a "Shark Tank"-style competition, to give service members of all ranks a platform to convey their innovative ideas and concepts to civilian technical experts and senior military leaders.
