Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Army currently faces a difficult truth: without changes to its modernization strategy, the Army risks losing qualitative tactical overmatch. A lost procurement decade and recent, significant modernization funding declines have resulted in an Army inventory that remains heavily leveraged on the “Big Five” programs, originally procured in the 1970s and 1980s. Meanwhile, technology proliferation has made potential state and nonstate adversaries increasingly capable; shrinking the U.S. overmatch advantage and in some cases surpassing it. While current and projected future Army modernization funding is below historical averages, necessitating increased modernization funding to ensure continued U.S. qualitative tactical overmatch, the Army’s modernization problem cannot be fixed only by increasing modernization funding. Additional funds also need to be accompanied by an updated Army modernization strategy that presents a compelling case for modernization funding and sets clear priorities for fulfilling future operational requirements.

This book was released on 2021-10-25 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the publication of the 2019 Army Modernization Strategy: Investing in the Future, the US Army initiated another of its periodic modernization campaigns to meet the military requirements of a new era of competition. Considering the challenges associated with change in bureaucracies, it is critical to identify actions and conditions that can contribute to both success and effectiveness. This paper considers what internal conditions the army can influence and shape, and what external conditions it can monitor, to modernize successfully. It further attempts to identify specific modernization conditions, using case studies from the interwar period between World War I and II, on which army leaders should focus. The study draws its conditions, including commitment, leadership, consensus, doctrine, and resourcing, from theorists in the fields of modernization and change management. The results of this work indicate that each of these conditions influences modernization, but further finds that the selected conditions are not exclusively definitive of success. While this study merely lays a groundwork for a better understanding of success in modernization, it opens areas of inquiry for further research, such as integrating modernization across the services, which can improve the likelihood of success, not only for the US Army, but also for the entirety of the Department of Defense.

This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s emergence as a global economic superpower, and as a major regional military power in Asia and the Pacific, has had a major impact on its relations with the United States and its neighbors. China was the driving factor in the new strategy the United States announced in 2012 that called for a “rebalance” of U.S. forces to the Asia-Pacific region. At the same time, China’s actions on its borders, in the East China Sea, and in the South China Sea have shown that it is steadily expanding its geopolitical role in the Pacific and having a steadily increasing impact on the strategy and military developments in other Asian powers.

Download or read book Army Medical Modernization Strategy written by United States. Army and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This strategy articulates how the Army Health System (AHS) will fundamentally transform into a semi-autonomous, integrated, networked capability that enables multi- domain operations (MDO). This change is neither superficial nor incremental; it is transformational to the very foundation of Army Medicine. The approach will completely align with, and fully support, the Army's recently released Army Modernization Strategy 2035 (AMS). This will ensure the AHS remains relevant in a broader sphere of potential military applications. The AMMS optimizes warfighter performance and unit readiness through improved integration, efficiency, and efficacy of medical mission-critical capabilities across all domains. The future, on a macro level, is one where our medical capability, capacity and proficiencies are dramatically increased, while manpower, materiel, and costs are dramatically decreased.

Download or read book Army Equipment Modernization Strategy written by U. S. Military and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2018-08-21 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army must be manned, equipped and trained to prevent conflict, shape the security environments and win wars. When adequately tailored, the Army, as part of the Joint Force, provides multiple options, integrates efforts of multiple partners and operates across multiple domains to present enemies and adversaries with multiple dilemmas. The Army Operating Concept, October 2014, identifies the first order capabilities the Army needs to meet these challenges. This Army Equipment Modernization Strategy describes how the Army will apply resources to adapt materiel in the near-term, evolve programs in the mid-term and innovate with Science and Technology for the long-term. In the near-term through FY 2020, the Army will use existing capabilities in new ways, modify and adapt capabilities to respond to new needs and more rapidly exploit new opportunities with innovative approaches. The Army must adapt faster than enemies and potential adversaries. In the mid-term, FY 2021-2029, the Army will evolve capabilities to retain overmatch and enhance expeditionary maneuver to rapidly deploy and conduct operations with ample duration and sufficient scale to win. For the long-term, the Army will innovate with less mature, but promising technologies to sustain Army asymmetric advantages and achieve significant leaps in warfighting efficiency and effectiveness. The Army Equipment Modernization Strategy applies the first principles for technological development which emphasize the integration of technology with Soldiers and teams to Enhance the Soldier for Broad Joint Mission Support. Our Soldiers and our foundational tactical formation, the Squad, must Remain Prepared for Joint Combined Arms Maneuver to defeat enemies at close quarters in urban and complex terrain. Our formations must possess the right combination of mobility, protection and lethality to fight and win. This strategy seeks to simplify systems, maximize reliability, describe equipment that ensures the capacity and readiness to accomplish any mission and reduce logistical demands and life cycle costs. It ensures interoperability and anticipates enemy countermeasures and Enables Mission Command by investing in a network with agile and expeditionary tactical command posts that are supported by a more robust home station architecture.

Download or read book China s Military Modernization written by Richard D. Fisher, Jr. and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2008-09-30 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China's rise to global economic and strategic eminence, with the potential for achieving pre-eminence in the greater-Asian region, is one of the defining characteristics of the post-Cold War period. This work offers a basic understanding of the military-strategic basis and trajectory of a rising China, provides background, and outlines current and future issues concerning China's rise in strategic-military influence. The next decade may witness China's assertion of military or strategic pressure on Japan, the Korean Peninsula, India, the South China Sea, the Taiwan Strait, Central Asia, or even on behalf of future allies in Africa and Latin America. While conflict is not a foregone conclusion, as indicated by China's increasing participation in many benign international organizations, it is a fact that China's leadership will pursue its interests as it sees them, which may not always coincide with those of the United States, its friends, and allies. Until now, no single volume has existed that provides an authoritative, comprehensive, and concise description of China's evolving geo-strategy or of how China is transforming its military to carry out this strategy. Fisher examines how China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) remains critical to the existence of the Chinese Communist government and looks at China's political and military actions designed to protect its expanded strategic interests in both the Asia-Pacific and Central to Near-Asian regions. Using open sources, including over a decade of unique interview sources, Fisher documents China's efforts to build a larger nuclear force that may soon be protected by missile defenses, modern high technology systems for space, air, and naval forces, and how China is now beginning to assemble naval, air, and ground forces for future power projection missions. His work also examines how the United States and other governments simultaneously seek greater engagement with China on strategic concerns, while hedging against its rising power. Although China faces both internal and external constraints on its rise to global eminence, it cannot be denied that China's government is pursuing a far-reaching strategic agenda.

Book excerpt: The current Army modernization strategy is at risk due to increasing pressures to cut investments in Future Combat Systems (FCS). The Army faces an age-old dilemma: arriving at the right investment balance between current demands and relevant future forces. Although the Army firmly intends to avoid sacrificing future capabilities in order to fund near-term operations, the strategy to accomplish this balance is failing. Widely criticized as an unsustainable strategy, the FCS program is at the center of the current debate. This SRP explains why FCS, the centerpiece of Army modernization, is placing this strategy at risk. The Army's failure to effectively communicate its strategic goal is a big part of the story. How, then, should the Army improve its communications plan in order to assure full support for FCS? The SRP attempts to answer this question by projecting FCS beyond its performance as an acquisition program and accounting for current sources of resistance to the program. An effective strategic communications plan must counter this resistance in order to effectively support the current plan for Army modernization.

Book excerpt: The Army's enduring mission is to protect and defend our Nation's vital security interests and to provide support to civil authorities in response to domestic emergencies. This requires an expeditionary, campaign-quality Army capable of dominating across the full spectrum of conflict, at any time, in any environment and against any adversary for extended periods of time. To do this the Army must continually review its structure and capabilities to ensure it remains adaptive and responsive to the evolving world security environment. While maintaining our mission focus on preparing forces and building readiness for counterinsurgency operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Army must remain ready to provide the Combatant Commanders with the forces and capabilities they need for full spectrum operations anywhere in the world both now and in the future. The 2008 Army Modernization Strategy provides a summary of the ends, ways and means through which the Army will equip itself and continue to modernize in support of this end. It describes the operational environment an era of persistent conflict and the Army's newest doctrine for dominating in that environment. It describes the challenges the Army is facing as it executes the current fight while preparing for the future, and the imperatives established by our senior leaders for restoring balance to the force. Finally, it details the four Elements of Modernization the specific ways in which the Army's equipping and modernization efforts support rebalancing the force and integrating capabilities necessary to ensure our success across the range of operations, from peacetime engagement to major combat operations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The global threat landscape is constantly evolving and remaining competitive and modernizing our digital environment for great power competition is imperative for the Department of Defense. We must act now to secure our future.This Digital Modernization Strategy is the cornerstone for advancing our digital environment to afford the Joint Force a competitive advantage in the modern battlespace.Our approach is simple. We will increase technological capabilities across the Department and strengthen overall adoption of enterprise systems to expand the competitive space in the digital arena. We will achieve this through four strategic initiatives: innovation for advantage, optimization, resilient cybersecurity, and cultivation of talent.The Digital Modernization Strategy provides a roadmap to support implementation of the National Defense Strategy lines of effort through the lens of cloud, artificial intelligence, command, control and communications and cybersecurity.This approach will enable increased lethality for the Joint warfighter, empower new partnerships that will drive mission success, and implement new reforms enacted to improve capabilities across the information enterprise.The strategy also highlights two important elements that will create an enduring and outcome driven strategy. First, it articulates an enterprise view of the future where more common foundational technology is delivered across the DoD Components. Secondly, the strategy calls for a Management System that drives outcomes through a metric driven approach, tied to new DoD CIO authorities granted by Congress for both technology budgets and standards.As we modernize our digital environment across the Department, we must recognize now more than ever the importance of collaboration with our industry and academic partners. I expect the senior leaders of our Department, the Services, and the Joint Warfighting community to take the intent and guidance in this strategy and drive implementation to achieve results in support of our mission to Defend the Nation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For nearly 20 years, the Army has had limited success in developing an information network - -sensors, software, and radios to give soldiers the exact information they need, when they need it, in any environment. Such a network is expected to improve situational awareness and decision making in combat. Under its network modernization strategy, the Army is implementing a new agile process intended to leverage industry technology solutions. The Army has taken a number of steps to begin executing its network strategy and agile process, including establishing a baseline network architecture for Army communications. The Army's agile process involves seven phases and three decision points to allow officials to quickly evaluate emerging networking technologies to determine if they address capability gaps and can be deployed to the field. However, the network strategy is still evolving and the Army has not yet executed one full cycle of the agile process. This book addresses the extent to which the Army's network strategy and agile process addresses cost, technology maturity, security, and readiness; and the Army's strategy for facing other risks and challenges. This book also examines the results of the Network Integration Evaluations (NIEs) conducted to date and the extent to which the Army has procured and fielded network solutions, and Army actions to enhance the NIE process." --Publisher's website.
