ARMY ACQUISITION SUPPORT TO UKRAINE
With the full support of Congress, the Army is making substantial long- term investments in the industrial base.

While this may not immediately affect their current operations, it sends a strong message of our government’s long-term commitment to supporting Ukraine.
SUCCESS AT SCALE ASA(ALT) has both the experience and skillsets to execute the presidential draw- down process, but has not done so at the scale and speed of the current effort, which dwarfs previous efforts in terms of quan- tity, value and timelines for completion. Additionally, many assumed the initial surge efforts early in the conflict would be sufficient, but the pace and scope of the support has continued at a high level for over a year. Trough the commitment and dedication of ASA(ALT)’s workforce, there have been several key reasons for the current success.

One of the most important enablers of success is the existing relationships that leaders, at all levels, have established and maintained across Army commands and staffs, as well as with their counterparts at higher and adjacent commands and staffs. These existing relationships based on streamlined communications, grounded
in familiarity and trust, enable the Army to rapidly adjust to changing demands and compressed timelines.
While ASA(ALT) has much experience providing materiel support to partners and allies, the critical nature of Ukraine response required organizational agility and the formation of a dedicated rapid response team. ASA(ALT) headquar- ters formed a “smokejumper team.” Like those who fight wildfires, our smokejump- ers were highly trained professional leaders of planning and action. Tey were formed
