Last fall, the Army undertook the most significant acquisition reform in decades, moving from twelve Program Executive Officers to six Portfolio Acquisition Executives, ahead of congressional mandate, before the guidance was fully written. The reorganization was never the point. The point was speed—and the ability to deliver integrated capability at the pace the battlefield demands.
The future of warfare is defined by speed—speed in decision-making, rapid adaptation, and most critically, delivering capability to Soldiers when they need it.
Excellence, innovation and leadership took center stage at the Pentagon as the Army celebrated the remarkable achievements of its acquisition workforce.
