WELCOME TO
RHEIN-MAIN POST

Media Archive

SAME is a great resource for information! The Rhein-Main Post of SAME strives to provide interesting technical talks on a wide range of important topics related to our work and the mission of the US DoD. Since not everyone is able to attend our meetings each month, we maintain an archive of presentations for download and often make recordings of our events available on our YouTube Channel.

PDH certificates are offered to those attending our briefings, either in person or virtually.  Check out upcoming events on our Events Calendar and sign up!
