THE ARMY ACQUISITION CORPS: EVOLVING EXCELLENCE
they’d be tasked with on Oct. 13. Tey were simply recognized as a community. Good engineers and scientists on Oct. 12 were still good engineers and scientists on Oct. 14.
I believe the AAC legacy will be what this community brings to the fight. Te Army Acquisition Workforce is a group of very dedicated, highly skilled and proficient professionals with an incredibly huge force-multiplier effect. Tis group is responsible for the business side of the Army. Te acquisition community by far implements the largest portion of the Army’s discretion- ary funding—consistently, effectively and efficiently. In FY14, roughly $19 billion was appropriated for Army acquisition.
I’m confident that in the next 25 years, ours will continue to be the best-equipped army in the world with no match on the battlefield, and that our Army acquisition community will con- tinue to adapt rapidly and readily to the changing threats on the
battlefield. Over the past 10 years, we saw the need for Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicles, and we quickly put them in the field. We answered the call again in quickly deploying unmanned aerial vehicles. Tat agility will only grow.
CONCLUSION Te Army Acquisition Workforce helps prepare the Army to dominate the battlefield. We are the ones who provide warfight- ers the systems, logistics, technology and services to help them get the job done in a hostile environment.
Who knows what the world situation will be over the next 25 years? We do know that every current and future member of the Army Acquisition Workforce will continue to be an important link in the chain. We all have a stake in the Army’s success, now and in the future.
