TARGET: PRECISION

development and acquisition resources have reached historic lows, and we must maximize the efficient use of these finite assets because our Soldiers are depending on us. Te choices we make today will affect and shape the capabilities we pro- vide to future generations of Soldiers.


Army Acquisition is emphasizing several goals: First, we’re focusing on long-range planning, making sure that we make acquisition decisions with sustainment costs in mind. We’re also focusing on the quality of our dedicated contract- ing workforce, professionals who must amass years of experience to be optimally effective. Our


science and technology


portfolio is another area of focus, as the Army protects its seed corn for future capabilities.


As the Army is called to protect the nation against emerging threats, Army Acquisition will


support that mission


with advanced technologies, equipment and services. Acquisition must con- tinue to encourage and develop our greatest resource—our people. We are fostering that growth in our workforce with planned initiatives such as tuition assistance, rotations with industry and increased recognition for outstanding workforce members. My personal mis- sion is to ensure that the Acquisition Workforce grows the right skill sets to meet our challenges—and continues for another 25 years and beyond to dem- onstrate excellence in supporting the warfighter and the taxpayer.


As I celebrate the accomplishments of the AAC, I want to take a moment to ASC.ARMY.MIL 7


recognize and remember one of its most exceptional members. MG Harold J. Greene exemplified the very best of the Army. He was a Soldier of incredible tal- ent, tremendous intellect, and unwavering fidelity and devotion. An officer without pretense, he acted in the best interest of those entrusted to his command, earning the respect of his superiors, subordinates and peers. He possessed a great sense of humor and forthright demeanor. Harry was an American hero who could have chosen many paths in life. But it was his love of country and his family’s legacy of service that led him to join the greatest Army the world has ever known, and he was dedicated to ensuring that our Sol- diers are equipped with the very best. He was proud to serve and dedicated his life to the Army.
