A Soldier from the 17th Infantry Regiment briefs Kendall, center; Gary Martin, center right, program executive officer for command, control and communications – tactical; and Lt. Gen. Michael E. Williamson, principal military deputy to the assistant secretary of the Amy for acquisition, logistics and technology, during Network Integration Evaluation 16.1 in October 2015 at Fort Bliss, Texas. Kendall predicts that acquisition improvement will happen best at the operator level—project and product managers, contracting officers and engineers— because they are most familiar with what needs fixing and know best how to fix it.
