FROM THE AAE
enable our men and women in uniform to fight and win decisively should deterrence fail.
In the area of materiel, we have numerous achievements to high- light, including:
• First unit equipped for the Next Generation Squad Weapon program, which provides warfighters with sig- nificant capability improvements in accuracy, range, signature management and lethality.
• Te FLRAA achieved Milestone B, and the program is scheduled to begin building prototypes in 2025.
• As part of the Long Range Precision Fires (LRPF) pro- gram, the Mid-Range Capability leverages a mix of ex- isting Navy Standard Missile-6 and Tomahawk missiles for ground launch with an ability to strike targets more than 1,000 miles away.
• Te Army is replacing legacy Patriot radars with the Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense System and using the new Integrated Battle Command systems to connect a wide range of sensors across platforms to increase the capacity of our Patriot air defenses.
Te cornerstone of the Army is our people. Tey are and will remain our No. 1 priority. Our military and civilians provide us a decisive advantage against any adversary and are the most important element in our success.
Te rapid pace of change in technical, process and digital tools demands that our dedicated workforce professionals remain committed to continued professional development. Te Army continues to provide the right training opportunities for the workforce to enhance their own careers, as well as their skills.
From my experience, I am confident that members of the Army acquisition, logistics and technology team will continue to meet every challenge they are presented and will continue to demon- strate excellence in supporting the joint warfighter at best value to the taxpayer.
On a personal note, as I leave my position, I just want to say thank you to the entire Army acquisition team. It has been the honor of my life to lead this organization, but I accomplished nothing—all of you did. Tank you all for serving the Army and the country.
My best wishes for much success in 2025.
