associated with globalization, and competition orscarce resources exacerbate the uncertainty andvolatility o the strategic environment. Withinthis setting, the American Soldier stands as ourNations most visible and enduring symbol ocommitment in an era o persistent conict.
Persistent Confict
For the near uture, persistent conict pro-tracted conrontation among state, non-state, andindividual actors that are increasingly willingto use violence to achieve their politicaland ideological ends will characterize the globalsecurity environment. Security crises will ariseunpredictably, vary in intensity and scope, and lastor uncertain durations. Tese challenges willtake place in all domains: land, sea, air, space,and cyberspace. Natural disasters and humani-tarian emergencies will continue to be requentand unpredictable, requiring the commitmento Soldiers and resources. In this dynamicenvironment, the Army will conduct operationsthat span the spectrum o conict rom humani-tarian and civil support to counterinsurgency togeneral war, oten simultaneously.
Global Trends
Several global trends will continue to shape theinternational security environment and the con-icts conronting our Nation. Globalization mayincrease prosperity, but it can also spread desta-bilizing inuences. Te unequal distribution obenets creates societies with divisions betweenhaves and have nots divisions that can beexploited by extremist ideologies and lead to con-ict. Fault lines reecting protracted competitionand riction can erupt unpredictably as societiesstruggle to adjust to the move toward modernityand greater interdependence. Meanwhile, increas-ingly available and afordable technologyprovidesour adversaries sophisticated tools to enable a net-worked approach to recruiting the disenranchisedand exporting terror.
Shiting demographics and rapid popula-tion growth that is increasingly urbanized cancontinue to break down traditional, localizednorms o governance, behavior, and identity,and urther strain already stressed governments.Tis is especially true where a lack o economicopportunity increases the potential or instabil-ity and extremism. Tose who are disafectedmay rebel against perceived Western interer-ence, challenges to traditional values, and inefec-tive governments. Increased resource demand, inparticular energy, water, and ood, is a consequenceo growing prosperity and populations. Te grow-ing global competition or resources will continueto produce riction and increase opportunities
or conict. In this environment, climate changeand natural disasters will compound already di-cult conditions in developing countries by ig-niting humanitarian crises, causing destabilizingpopulation migrations, and raising the potentialor epidemic diseases.
Te two trends o greatest concern are the proli-eration o weapons o mass destruction (WMD)and ailed or ailing states. A catastrophic attackutilizing WMD has the potential to be globally
destabilizing. Failed or ailing states, lacking the will or capacity to maintain efective territorialcontrol, contribute to regional instability andprovide ideal environments or terrorist groups toplan and export operations. Te merging o thesetwo trends constitutes a signicant and compel-ling threat. ogether, these trends make conict inthe decades ahead more likely.
Character o Confict inthe 21st Century
Global trends and recent conicts such asthose in Lebanon and Georgia and our ownrecent combat experience indicate the evolv-ing character o conict in the 21st Century.
Conicts will be waged among diverse actors state and non-state with the latter employing

capabilities that, during the last century, remainedlargely the purview o nation-states. Motives, ob- jectives, and oten the identities o these actorswill be dicult to discern, and are likely to shit as
some act covertly and others use proxies. Te battleto gain inuence over, and support rom, popula-tions will be central to our success. Tereore, con-ict will be unavoidably waged among the people.
Te initiation, location, duration, and intensity oconicts are increasingly unpredictable. In an in-terdependent world, conicts are more susceptibleto the potential or spillover, creating regionally,and potentially globally, destabilizing efects. All othis will occur under the unblinking scrutiny o the
24-hour global media cycle and the internet. De-tails o conict as well as misinormation will owequally across social, communications, and cybernetworks. Our adversaries will exploit these mediaand communication sources locally and globally.
We are more likely to ace hybrid threats diverse and dynamic combinations o conventional,irregular, terrorist, and criminal capabilitiesemployed asymmetrically to counter our advan-
tages. Hybrid threats require hybrid solutions adaptive military orces that can unction ina variety o situations with a diverse set o nation-al, allied, and indigenous partners. Given the stra-tegic environment, enduring global trends, andthe character o 21st Century conict, the Armywill operate as part o a Joint, interagency, inter-governmental, and multi-national team to ulllits global commitments.
Roles o Land Forces
More than one million o our men and womenhave served in the ongoing campaigns in Iraqand Aghanistan. Over 3,900 American Soldiershave given their lives, and more than 25,000others have been wounded during this longestperiod o sustained conict ever ought by anall-volunteer orce. oday, Americas Army hasover 255,000 Soldiers and more than 18,500 Army Civilians serving in nearly 80 countriesaround the world with the remainder sta-
tioned within the United States supporting do-mestic missions, resetting rom recent deploy-ments, or preparing or an upcoming deployment.
Our Soldiers are perorming magnicently aroundthe world every day, and the roles or land orces inthis environment are becoming increasingly clear.
First, the Army must prevail in protracted coun-ter-insurgency (COIN) operations. Not onlymust we prevail in our current missions in Iraq,
Aghanistan, and the Philippines, we must be pre-pared to prevail in any uture COIN operation.
Second, the Army must engage to help other na-tions build capacity and to assure our riends andallies. Trough security orce assistance, we canincrease the capacity o other nations military andpolice to uphold the rule o law, ensure domestic

order, and deny sanctuary to terrorists therebyhelping avoid uture conicts that might oth-erwise develop. American Soldiers are currentlydeployed to Central America and the Balkans,building the capacity o indigenous security orces.Additionally, the Army has established an ArmyService Component Command or U.S. AricaCommand to assist partner nations and humani-tarian organizations in Arica.
A third role that the Army ullls is to providesupport to civil authorities at home and abroad.In the past year alone, American Soldiers haveought res in the west, conducted search andrescue operations in the Rockies and Alaska, andassisted with tsunami relie in American Samoa,in support o civil authorities. Te Army has also
provided a sizeable orce to support the relie e-orts in Haiti ollowing the catastrophic earth-quake that destroyed its capital. Army units romboth the active and reserve components remainprepared to react to a variety o crises as conse-quence management and response orces. TeU.S. Army Corps o Engineers is a lead organiza-tion in providing DoD support to civil authoritiesor disaster relie at home and engineering support
to the United States Agency or International De-velopment (USAID) overseas. Abroad, the Armyhas also supported civil authorities in many ways,such as sending Agribusiness Development eamsrom the Army National Guard to Aghanistan.
Finally, the Army must deter and deeat hybridthreats and hostile state actors. As an Army, we

recognize that we must remain prepared to meetand deeat hostile state actors that threaten our na-tional security. But we recognize that the probabil-ity o acing a nation that will challenge Americasmilitary head-on is lower than it was during the
Cold War and other periods in our history. Ourreadiness and capability to conront near-peercompetitors also deters war by raising the stakes ornation-state and hybrid actors who would threat-en our security interests. o meet these threats,Army units continue to participate in Joint andinternational training exercises around the world,ensuring that military skills and cooperative part-nerships remain strong. Te Army continues toposition orces in Korea and at various missile de-ense sites in order to discourage actors who seekto disrupt regional stability and security.
Two Critical Challenges
Te Army has operated at a demanding pace orthe last eight years, and while it has met each chal-lenge, the strain has placed the Army out o bal-
ance. Demand or Army orces continues to exceedthe sustainable supply. Against that backdrop, theArmy continues to meet the wartime requirementso our Nation while it addresses the two majorchallenges acing our orce restoring balanceand setting conditions or the uture. In 2007,we established a our-year plan to restore balanceto an Army that had experienced the cumulativeefects o years o conict. Te FY 11 budget sup-ports the nal year in that plan. As we continue torestore balance to the orce, we are also setting the
conditions or the Army o the 21st Century - an

Army that ullls our strategic role as an integralpart o our Joint Force.
Restoring Balance: The Armys
Four Imperatives
With the help o Congress, we have made signi-cant progress over the past three years in our planto restore balance a plan ounded on our im-peratives. Yet today the Army remains out o bal-ance. Weve improved our ability to sustain theArmys Soldiers, Families, and Civilians; prepareorces or success in the current conict; resetre-turning units to rebuild the readiness consumed inoperations and to prepare or uture deploymentsand contingencies; and transorm to meet thedemands o the 21st Century. As a result o thisprogress we now are in a better position to achievebalance than we were two years ago. Critical tothis was the growth in the size o the Army.
Te security agreement with Iraq that transerredsecurity in urban areas to Iraqis was a momen-
tous and welcomed accomplishment. Te hardwork and sacrice o our Soldiers with the sup-port o Congress helped make this achievementpossible and set the conditions or our responsi-ble drawdown o combat orces in Iraq this year.Coupled with our growth, the drawdown in Iraqallowed or our increased commitment o orces toAghanistan to stem the rising violence, and dis-rupt, dismantle, and deeat al-Qaeda while revers-ing the momentum o the aliban insurgency.However, the campaigns in Iraq and Aghanistancontinue to create demands that have our Armyoperating beyond sustainable capacity. In act, in2009 more Soldiers were deployed in Iraq and
Aghanistan combined than during the height othe Iraq surge.
Presently, and or the short term, we lack sucientstrategic exibility, and we continue to accumulaterisk. We continue to stress our Soldiers, Families,Civilians, equipment, and institutional systems,so our eforts to restore balance must not waiver.

Sustain
Sustaining our all-volunteer orce is our rstimperative. Nowhere is the stress on our orcemore proound than in the toll it takes on our
people, as is tragically evident in the rising num-ber o suicides and increasing need or counselingamong our Soldiers and Families. We are aggres-sively addressing the causes o stress on individu-als resulting rom the cumulative efects o mul-tiple deployments, and seeking to build resiliencein Soldiers, Families, and Civilians. Te Army iscommitted to ensuring that the quality o lie othose who serve the Nation is commensurate withthe quality o their service.
Goals
o sustain the orce, the Army continues to pursueour major goals. Our rst goal is to Recruit andRetain quality Soldiers and Civilians dedicated toservice to the Nation. Next, we are committed tournishing the best Care, Support, and Servicesor Soldiers, Families, and Civilians by improvingquality o lie through meaningul initiatives suchas the Army Family Action Plan, the Army FamilyCovenant, Army Community Covenants, and the
Comprehensive Soldier Fitness Program. It is oursolemn obligation to provide world-class WarriorCare and ransition to our wounded, ill, and in-jured Warriors through properly led and resourcedWarrior ransition Units. Finally, by Supporting
the Families o our Fallen Comrades we honortheir service and sacrice.
Progress and Accomplishments
The Army met 104% o its recruiting goals or2009 and achieved both numeric goals andquality benchmarks or new recruits.
All components exceeded 105% o theirreenlistment goals.
We reduced o-duty atalities by 20%, toinclude a 15% reduction in overall privately-owned-vehicle atalities and 37% reductionin motorcycle atalities.
In collaboration with the National Institute oMental Health, the Army began a seminalstudy into suicide prevention that will inorm
the Army Suicide Prevention Program andsocietys approach to suicide.
We began instituting Comprehensive SoldierFitness an all-inclusive approach to emo-tional, social, spiritual, amily, and physical t-ness as the oundation to building resiliencywithin the Army.
We initiated an unprecedented series oconstruction projects at ve major hospitalsas part o our commitment to modernizeour healthcare system.
The Army established the Warrior Transi-tion Command and reorganized WarriorTransition Brigades to provide centralizedsupport, rehabilitation, and individualizedtransition planning to our recovering Warriors.

Reset
With the pace o continuous combat operations intwo wars or the past eight years, we are consum-ing our readiness as ast as we can build it. Reset
restores returning units their Soldiers, Families,and equipment - to a level o readiness necessaryor uture missions.
Goals
Our Reset plans include our goals. Our efortsto Revitalize Soldiers and Families seek to rees-tablish and strengthen relationships ollowing de-ployments. Te Armys comprehensive eforts toRepair, Replace, and Recapitalize Equipment a-
ected by the harsh environments o the war areessential to resetting units. In particular, achiev-ing responsible drawdown in Iraq while increas-ing our commitment o orces and equipment toAghanistan will require an unprecedented resetefort. Te Army must Retrain Soldiers, Leaders,and Units to build critical skills necessary to oper-ate across the spectrum o conict in the current se-curity environment. Lastly, we are identiying andapplying the lessons learned rom the Reset PilotProgram that was designed to improve the eciency
and efectiveness o the Reset process. Army Resetis a necessary process that must continue not onlyas long as we have orces deployed, but an addition-al two to three years ater major deployments end.
Progress and Accomplishments
The Army completed the reset o 29 brigadesworth o equipment in FY 09 and contin-
ued the reset o 13 more. In total, we havereset more than 98,000 pieces o equip-ment as depot production has doubled sinceSeptember 11, 2001.
We began executing a responsible draw-down in Iraq which will redistribute, transer,or dispose o 3.4 million pieces o equipment;
redeploy 143,000 military and Civilian person-nel, and 147,000 contractors; close 22 supplysupport activities; and consume or dispose oover 21,000 short tons o supplies.
In 2009, more than 160,000 Soldiersand Family members participated in over2,600 Strong Bonds events designed tostrengthen Army Families.
The Army continues to revise its approachto training by emphasizing doing ewer tasksbetter, making judicious use o eld time, andmaximizing the use o mobile training teamsand distributed learning.
We completed our Reset Pilot Program andwill begin instituting the ull Reset modelacross the Army in 2010.
The Army ostered partnerships by ex-ecuting more than $24 billion in neworeign military sales.
FY 11 Budget Highlights
Provides $10.8 billion to reset Army equip-ment through the Overseas ContingencyOperations (OCO) request.
Supports training and sustainment o Armyorces to include individual skills and leadertraining; combined arms training toward ullspectrum operations; and adaptable, phasedtraining based on the ARFORGEN process.

Goals
Our goals or transormation include continuedModular Reorganization to standardize our or-mations to create a more deployable, adaptable,and versatile orce. We will accelerate elding o
Advanced echnologies to ensure our Soldiersretain their technological edge. Te Army willOperationalize the Reserve Components by sys-tematically building and sustaining readinesswhile increasing predictability or these Soldiers,Families, employers, and communities.
Completing the requirements o the BaseRealignment and Closure (BRAC) statutesis central to Restationing Forces. Soldier andLeader Development will ensure that we pro-
duce the next generation o agile and adaptivemilitary and Civilian leaders who are supremelycompetent in their core prociencies and su-ciently broad enough to operate efectively inthe Joint, interagency, intergovernmental, andmulti-national environments.
Progress and AccomplishmentsThe Army is 88% complete on the modular con-
version o its brigades. The FY 11 budget willsupport the near completion o this process.
The Army consolidated existing aviationorce structure to create a 12th activecomponent combat aviation brigade (CAB)
orming an additional deployable CAB with-out adding orce structure.
The Army activated the 162nd InantryBrigade at Ft. Polk, Louisiana, providing a
dedicated and enduring capability to preparecombat advisors to train and build capacityin oreign security orces. Trainers rom thebrigade are now deployed to Aghanistan toassist with the training and development othe Aghan Security Forces.
The Army developed a new incrementalcapability package approach to moderniza-tion which will allow technologically mature,Soldier-tested, proven technologies to be
prioritized, bundled in time, and elded to theorce more quickly than ever beore.
We provided combatant commanders withdedicated, regionally based network opera-tions support, and integrated cyber secu-rity capability in the orm o Theater NetworkOperations and Security Centers, uniquewithin the Department o Deense.
This past year, the Army closed threeactive installations and ve U.S. Army ReserveCenters and is on course to complete BRACin FY 11. To date, we have awarded 265major military construction projects, o which59 are complete.
The Army built a Leader DevelopmentStrategy that balances experience, greateropportunities or proessional education, andtraining in ull spectrum operations.

Our modular units are designed to betailorable. Brigades now have capabilities previ-ously ound at division level and higher. Tese bri-gades can be tailored or specic missions and com-bined with support units and key enablers such asISR, communications, civil afairs, psychologicaloperations, public afairs capabilities, and expand-ed logistics support, to accomplish a wide varietyo missions and increase the land options availableto combatant commanders.
Te network is essential to a 21st Century Army.Networked organizations improve the situation-al awareness and understanding leaders need toact decisively at all points along the spectrum oconict, while providing connectivity down to theindividual Soldier. Te network allows dispersedArmy organizations to plan and operate together,and provides connectivity to Joint, combined,and interagency assets. o support this objective,the Army will use the Global Network EnterpriseConstruct (GNEC) as our strategy to transormLandWarNet to a centralized, more secure, op-erationalized, and sustainable network capable osupporting an expeditionary Army.

Tis process also allowsstrategic exibility to surge in response to unex-
pected contingencies across the spectrum o con-ict, and provides operational depth with moreorces available or longer commitment times.
Te increased demands o our combatant com-manders, coupled with the size o our active com-ponent (AC) orce, require that we continue tointegrate reserve component (RC) orces as parto our operational orce. Continued and routineaccess to our RC orces is essential to sustainingcurrent operations, and is improving the overall
operational experience and quality o our RC orc-es. Additionally, sucient Army National Guard(ARNG) orces must be ready and immediatelyavailable to their state and territorial authoritiesto respond to domestic crises. We are building anintegrated Army in which our RC orces are in-cluded in the rotational cycle, but at a deploymentrate o about hal that o their AC counterparts.
Te ARFORGEN process increases predictabilityor Soldiers, Families, employers, and communi-
ties, and enables our RC to remain an integralelement o the operational orce while providingthe Nation with the strategic depth (i.e. thosenon-deployed units which are two to three yearsrom commitment) and operational exibilityto meet unexpected contingencies.
Te Army has undergone signicant changes inrecent years, and we must continue to change inorder to keep pace with an environment o un-certainty and complexity in this era o persistent
conict. Te same requirements that drive the im-perative to change also drive our modernizationeforts and need or institutional adaptation.
Realizing Change
o become the Army the Nation needs inthe second decade o the 21st Century, we aretransorming the Army and prioritizing programsand eforts that show the most promise or todayand tomorrow. Similarly, we are transormingbusiness processes across the Army, includinghow we identiy requirements, acquire, and pro-vide materiel capabilities to our Soldiers, and how we adapt our institutions to align with theARFORGEN process.
On April 6, 2009, Secretary Gates announcedhis adjustments to the deense program as parto the Presidents budget proposal or Fiscal Year2010. Te Secretarys decisions had an immedi-ate and major impact on our FCS-centric Armymodernization efort. He terminated the MannedGround Vehicle (MGV) portion o FCS, direct-ing that we reevaluate the requirements, tech-nology, and approach and then re-launch the Armys vehicle modernization program. Heurther directed the Army to accelerate the ini-tial increment o the program to spin out tech-nology enhancements to all combat brigades, andretain and deliver sotware and network develop-ment program in increments, and incorporateMRAP into our orce structure. Secretary Gates
intent or these bold adjustments was clear tobetter reect the lessons that we were learningrom ongoing operations and better posture Armyorces or a broader range o uture challenges.

as the Armys Brigade Combat eamModernization Plan, which is a subset o ouroverall Army Modernization Strategy.
BCT Modernization
We will leverage the lessons learned rom the lasteight years to provide efective and afordableequipment now, while reducing the time it takesto develop and eld new and updated materielsolutions. BC Modernization includes our el-ements: modernizing the network over time totake advantage o technology upgrades, while si-multaneously expanding it to cover ever increas-
ing portions o the orce; incorporating MRAPsinto our orce; rapidly developing and eldinga new Ground Combat Vehicle that meets therequirements o the 21st Century Army; andincrementally elding Capability Packages thatbest meet the needs o Soldiers and units as theytrain and then deploy.
Army Network
Central to the Armys modernization eforts is
an enhanced and interoperable communicationnetwork that gives the Army a decisive advantageacross the spectrum o conict. Te network sup-ports leaders in making timely, inormed deci-sions, and supports organizational agility, lethality,and sustainability. It allows our Soldiers to knowwhere the enemy is, where other riendly orcesand civilian populations are, and what weaponsystems are available or them at any given time.Te network links Soldiers on the battleeld withspace-based and aerial sensors, robots, and com-mand posts providing unprecedented situationalawareness and control and enabling the applicationo precise lethal res on the modern battleeld.
Maintaining our technological advantage is aconstant challenge. Te Armys battle commandnetwork must be continuously upgraded to

ensure security and provide improved capability,capacity, connectivity and operational efective-ness. Te Warghter Inormation Network (ac-tical) (WIN-) is designed to extend the net-work ultimately to the company level or BCsand provide real-time inormation, such as highdenition imagery, rom surveillance sources.Te Joint actical Radio System (JRS) was bornJoint with the specic requirement to resolve radiointeroperability among the services. It will provideSoldiers at the tactical level with connectivity atextended ranges, including voice, data, and video,
enabling them to move inormation rom platoonto higher-level command posts in complex terrain(including urban and mountainous areas).
MRAP Strategy
In response to deadly IEDs in Iraq andAghanistan, the Nation made a tremendous in-vestment in elding MRAPs that have saved livesby providing signicantly improved protectionor our Soldiers. Te Army is incorporating thesevehicles throughout its unit ormations. Addi-tionally, we used the basic design o the MRAPas the oundation or the M-AV, modiying itor the mountainous terrain ound in Aghanistanand other regions around the world. Te MRAP
amily o vehicles provides the versatility our orc-es need to rapidly move around the battleeld,particularly in an IED environment, with the bestprotection we can provide.
Ground Combat Vehicle
Combining the lessons learned rom the surviv-ability o the MRAP, the tactical mobility o theBradley Fighting Vehicle, and the operationalmobility o the Stryker, the Army is developing
a Ground Combat Vehicle (GCV) that possessesall o these qualities. Providing Soldiers protectedmobility is our top design criteria. Te rst combatvehicle designed rom the ground up to operatein an IED environment, the GCV will have en-hanced mobility that will allow it to operate efec-tively in both urban and of-road environments. Itwill be designed to host the Armys network. Andperhaps most importantly, it will have the capacityavailable to accept uture upgrades incrementallyas technologies mature and threats change.
Te GCV will be versatile enough to support ourexpeditionary requirements and be capable o car-rying an inantry squad. It will combine sustain-ability eatures that match the availability rates othe Stryker while consuming less uel than currentvehicles o similar weight and power. Te pace ochange and the operational environment demand

an expedited acquisition timeline, so the Army ispursuing a GCV program timeline that providesthe rst production vehicles in seven years.
Capability Packages
Capability packages provide the Army a regular,timely process to enable our deployable units withthe latest materiel and non-materiel solutionsbased on the evolving challenges o the operatingenvironment. Te best available capabilities willgo to the Soldiers who need them most, based onthe threats they are likely to ace. Tese bundleso capabilities will include materiel, doctrine, or-ganization, and training to ll the highest priorityrequirements and mitigate risk or Soldiers. Tis
incremental packaging approach will enable lead-ers to make timely, resource-inormed decisions,and will help ensure that we provide the bestavailable technologies to ulll urgent needs toSoldiers in the ght all driven by the cyclic readi-ness produced by ARFORGEN. Tese capabilitypackages will upgrade our units as they prepare todeploy by providing them improved capabilitiessuch as precision res and advanced Intelligence,Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR).
The Army Modernization Strategy
Te Armys Brigade Combat eam Moderniza-tion Plan is a key element o our overall ArmyModernization Strategy. Te Army Moderniza-tion Strategy reects our overarching vision ohow we will achieve our ends, which is to:
Develop and eld an afordable and interoperablemix o the best equipment available to allow Soldiersand units to succeed in both todays and tomorrows
ull spectrum military operations.
TeArmy Modernization Strategyrelies on threeinterrelated lines o efort:
1) Develop and feld new capabilities to meetidentifed capability gaps through traditionalor rapid acquisition processes. In support o this
Line o Efort in FY 11 we have requested $934million to develop the Armys new Ground Com-bat Vehicle (GCV), which will overcome criticalcapability gaps in both current and uture opera-tions. It is envisioned to have the tactical mobilityo a Bradley, the operational mobility o a Stryker,and the protection o an MRAP. We are also re-questing $459 million to procure the ExtendedRange Multi-Purpose Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.Tis extraordinarily capable platorm, which isalready making a diference in Operation En-during Freedom, gives commanders longer dwellISR capabilities across a joint area o operations.
2) Continuously modernize equipment to meetcurrent and uture capability needs throughupgrade, replacement, recapitalization, reur-bishment, and technology insertions. Army e-orts in this Line o Efort include our request or$887 million or the procurement o 16 Block IIIAH-64 Apache Helicopters, as well as the upgradeo 13 AH-64 Helicopters to Block II. Block IIIApache is part o a long-term efort to improvesituational awareness, perormance, reliability,and sustainment o the Apache. Block II upgradescontinue our commitment to modernize the Army
National Guard Aviation Fleet. Additionally, inthis line o efort, we have requested $505 millionto upgrade Shadow RQ-7 UAVs. Tis key upgradewill increase the payload capacity and enhance theperormance o this key ISR asset or our BCCommanders.
3) Meet continuously evolving orce require-ments in the current operational environmentby felding and distributing capabilities in ac-cordance with the Army Resource Priorities List
(ARPL) and Army Force Generation (ARFOR-GEN) Model. Meeting the constantly evolvingneeds o theater commanders and the demandso persistent conict will require unprecedentedagility in our equipping and modernization pro-grams. One example o this agility can be oundin our Kiowa Warrior eet. We are currentlymaneuvering our eet o OH-58D Kiowa Warrior
