• Define and Reengineer Critical End-to-End Processes

• Manage Business System IT Investments

• Improve Force Management

• Strengthen Financial Management

• Implement an Integrated Management System

OBT Plans, Prepares, Facilitates, and Monitors Execution of Actions within these Priorities

to Improve Army Business Operations in Support of Transforming the Institutional Army

Sec Army Priorities (14 Feb 12)

• Ensure a highly capable force within evolving

budgetary constraints • Transform the Institutional Army

• Build the Army of 2020 (POM 14-18) • Enhance Army activities in the Asia-Pacific Region

• Fund reset and modernization

• Champion Soldiers, Civilians, and Families

• Strengthen information assurance and cybersecurity

• Ensure accountability

• Develop energy solutions • Finalize Arlington National Cemetery reforms

Chief of Staff of the Army Priorities (Jan 12)

• Provide trained, equipped, and ready forces to win the current fight while

maintaining responsiveness for unforeseen contingencies.

• Develop the force of the future, Army 2020 as part of Joint

Force 2020 – a versatile mix of capabilities, formations,

and equipment.

• Sustain our high-quality All-Volunteer Army – Soldiers, Civilians, and

Families, in the Active and Reserve Components.

• Adapt leader development to meet our future security challenges in an

increasingly uncertain and complex strategic environment.

• Foster continued commitment to the Army Profession, a noble and selfless

calling founded on the bedrock of trust.

The EITF is producing a process for developing large-scale renewable

energy projects that is clear, consistent and transparent. This process will

be described in a Renewable Energy Project Development Guide that

will detail the five phases of project development.
