ASA(ALT) AT WORK: PEO SOLDIER


enable the assessment and optimi- zation of new capabilities across doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership, personnel and facilities, and take advan- tage of the resources at integration facilities being established by PEO Soldier, the Soldier Lethality Cross- Functional Team and the Maneuver Battle Lab at Fort Benning, Geor- gia. This iterative, Soldier-centered approach ensures that we deliver capability that achieves overmatch and incorporates innovative ideas from Soldiers and industry.


BIGGEST CHALLENGE?


Our greatest challenge is deliv- ering on our promise to our Soldiers to deliver next-generation combat capability. Working closely with the Soldier Lethality Cross-Functional Team, we are planning to deliver the ENVG-B in September 2019, and over the next few years we are planning to deliver the Next Generation Squad Weapon and the Integrated Visual Augmentation System. These are extremely accelerated acquisitions, and each of these cross-functional team programs


will deliver significantly enhanced capability over current capability and leverage state-of-the-art tech- nology to achieve overmatch. PEO Soldier oversees the execution of these critical programs through close partnership with AFC, the Soldier Lethality Cross-Functional Team and the rest of the Army materiel enterprise.


BIGGEST SUCCESS?


Our biggest successes are our people and the collabora- tion across the Army materiel


enterprise. We have an amazing civilian, military and contractor workforce that delivers day in and day out, despite manpower short- falls and other constraints. We deliver literally millions of pieces of kit every year that help Soldiers accomplish their missions and come home alive.


Within the new Army materiel enterprise, we have seen a signif- icant increase in collaboration, including cross-functional teams, the science and technology community, the user community,
