ADAPTING THE ARMY
S
haping and modernizing the
“Army of 2020,” continuing to harvest emerging gies
through focused science
and technology (S&T) research, and sharpening the focus on ongoing efforts to streamline, refine, and improve the acquisition process all figured promi- nently in the discussion among senior Army and defense industry leaders at the Association of the United States Army’s Institute of Land Warfare Winter Sym- posium and Exhibition, held Feb. 22-24 in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
IMPLEMENTING THE AGILE PROCESS
Network Integration Evaluations (NIEs) are aiding in streamlining the development and procurement of new systems through the Agile Process. Here, SPC Allison Ferrone, a Signal Support Systems Specialist with 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division, explains the Common Remotely Operated Weapon Station to Chief of Staff of the Army GEN Raymond T. Odierno during a tour of equipment during NIE 12.1 at White Sands Missile Range, NM, Nov. 18, 2011. (Photo by SGT Jonathan Thomas.)

First and foremost, Army leaders praised the performance and resolve of Soldiers as the service adjusts to a new budget envi- ronment and Defense Strategic Guidance, which calls upon the Army to serve as a vital component of an agile, deployable, technologically superior Joint force.
“The Army is a flexible, adaptable orga- nization. We can respond anywhere, anytime, to support any operation. As the Chief of Staff of the Army, it is an honor to represent such dignified heroes who continue to raise their right hand
and say, ‘I’m selfless; I put my country first,’” said GEN Raymond T. Odierno.
Odierno went on to explain how the Army is pivoting and transitioning in light of the new Defense Strategic Guid- ance
and President Obama’s FY13
budget, indicating that the Army will harness key lessons learned from the past 10 years of combat while striving to prop- erly balance end strength, readiness, and modernization in order to maintain the
“best-trained, best-equipped force in the world today.”
