Our phone conferences are available to the general public as well as ADF members however we prefer that you live in Arkansas and are interested in joining the ADF if you're calling in. Please familiarize yourself with our code of conduct before participating  in the call.  We enforce what is considered "polite conversation rules" during the calls which means no profanity, racist or other inflammatory remarks, or anything which wouldn't be appropriate for a professional conversation. We act like and expect everyone to act like adults during the call and if you are unable to do so you will be immediately removed from the call.

Calls are held every Thursday evening at 2000 (8pm) central time, except for Thanksgiving and within 48 hours of Christmas or New Year's. To participate you'll call 1-860-970-0000 and enter code 4560077# when prompted to do so. Long distance rates do apply. 

The call line normally opens up two minutes prior to the conference and generally follows this agenda:

  • Introduction
  • Commander's opening remarks
  • Operations Division Colonel's update and remarks
  • Support Division Colonel's update and remarks
  • Information Division Colonel's update, weekly intelligence report, and remarks
  • Commander's closing comments
  • Open forum for ADF members
  • Open forum for the public
  • Unmuted conversation for everybody

During the open forum portion of the call we allow any caller to address the group with any questions or comments they have. Due to our desire to allow everyone that wishes to address the group have the chance to do so we try and limit the time for questions to as short a period as possible and try to avoid "going down rabbit holes".  To address the group during the open forum portion of the call you can use the following key combinations on your telephone:

  • *5 will let us know you want to talk and put you in queue to be called on

When it's your turn we'll unmute your line and call out the last four of your phone number and wait for you to respond. If you fail to answer after three tries then we'll move along to the next caller.   For general purposes please don't use your speaker phone.
