FROM THE AAE
the Army’s requirements process deter- mines an acquisition program is needed to achieve a requirement, I want us postured to move as quickly as possible to carry out the program.
PAST SUCCESS I am confident that achieving greater speed in a responsible manner is possible because I have seen it done in the past. Army acquisition has shown that it can deliver at high speed in emergency situ- ations, such as meeting urgent combat needs and the COVID-19 pandemic. Even outside of a crisis of some kind, we have been able to move programs along through the acquisition process quickly. In my short time in this position I have encountered a lot of creativity and new ideas on achieving greater speed, which has been great to see.
I want to see, from all of us, an openness to doing things in new ways that can save time while not creating excessive risk. Note that I did not say “no risk.” All programs have risks. I want to see everyone, from top to bottom, make an effort to understand risks and work on ways to mitigate them as best we can. Tat approach ensures that, when something does go wrong because we are trying to move more quickly, we are better positioned to figure out how to make whatever adjustments we need to make—all while still getting the job done faster than if we’d followed a “zero risk” approach. Again, if mistakes are made in a good faith effort to do things in new and innovative ways, you will have my support.
CONCLUSION Tank you all for everything you do for your Army and the country. Army acquisi- tion has achieved amazing feats in the past and I am honored to get the opportunity to lead this organization as it continues to do great work every day.
