As Lt. Gen. Michael E. Williamson, the Army DACM, told new TWI participants and company sponsors at a recent orientation, TWI creates open communication among the Army, the acqui- sition Soldier and industry partners. “You bring tremendous knowledge and capability from your experiences,” he said. “It also gives us an opportunity to share with our industry partners some insights about what we do and what drives our thinking.”
Te competition for each TWI cohort’s slot is tougher than ever. Tree years ago, the selection rate was 70 percent; the following year, it was 50 percent; and the past year, 30 percent. Tough the bar has risen significantly, TWI is likely to be among the most rewarding assignments of your acquisition career, not because it’s easy but because it’s hard. It provides participants a chance to step back and see a different side of things, and then directly use those experiences to make Army acquisition more efficient and effective.
Lt. Col. Mark Henderson, product manager for the Warfighter Information Network – Tactical Increment 1, spent his 2013-14
stint in TWI with Cisco Systems Inc. To his way of think- ing, TWI helps officers look ahead and make good decisions, which can be applied later in the military commanders’ areas of responsibility.
And it’s not just the government that benefits. Te companies competing to host Army acquisition’s top talent are big names:
Amazon.com Inc., Amazon Web Services Inc., Airbus Group Inc., Boeing Co., Cisco Systems Inc., CSRA Inc., General Dynamics Land Systems, Intel Corp., Lockheed Martin Mis- sion Systems and Training, Microsoft Corp. and Motorola Solutions Inc.—a testament to the desirability of Army Acquisi- tion Workforce members as employees, even temporarily. We consistently get feedback on Soldiers’ great work ethic. John Paulson, General Dynamics Land Systems’ TWI sponsor, said that his company’s employees are consistently impressed with
“how the officers quickly accomplish their assignments and move on to the next one.” (For an in-depth look at one Army acquisi- tion officer’s TWI experience at Amazon, read “One ‘Peculiar’ Fellowship,” Page 160.)
