The Army of the Future
Implementing plan to Regionally Align Forces to better support Combatant
Commanders.
Adapting to the Strategic Environment by prioritizing leader development and
leveraging technology to empower the Soldier.
Reducing end strength and optimizing the force structure
mix while remaining engaged in Afghanistan and adapting to
meet the demands of the Defense Strategy.
Our Nation’s Joint Force must operate in a complex and dangerous physical, cultural and information
environment, while balancing readiness requirements and limited resources.
The Army will be optimized for a broader range of missions in support of the Joint Force.
The Army of the Future is Stronger We Start from a Position of Strength with an Army of Combat Proven Leaders
Adapting Readiness and Training Models to better prepare units to operate in complex environments.
Empowered
Soldiers &
Squads,
connected to the
network in
vehicles that
increase mobility
and lethality while
retaining
survivability.
The future environment requires an agile, ready Army – a precision force, capable of
rapid, scalable global engagement in support of National Defense Strategy.

If We Do This, This Is What We’ll Get
Retain Our Technological Overmatch
The Ability to Rapidly, Globally Exchange Information in a Secure Environment
Connect Our Forces at All Echelons
“The Army has global responsibilities that require large technological advantages to prevail decisively in combat –
“technological overmatch,” if you will… Modernizing, especially as end strength is reduced, is the key to ensuring that the Army’s dominance continues. As I reflect upon the pace of technological change in today’s modern world and the impact of rapid, global
information exchange upon our overall security environment, I am both inspired and encouraged by the Army’s approach to building a network able to connect our forces at all echelons. This remains
our number one modernization priority.”
A Modernized LandWarNet Will Meet These Challenges

We Must Train as We Fight
Deploy Little to No Notice Anytime, Anywhere in Austere Environments
Installations as a Docking Station
Modernized From Strategic Core to the Tactical Edge
Single Secure Network
Incorporate Echelons Above Army Requirements
Centralized Management and Decentralized Execution
The Network is Core to a Smaller, More Capable, Better Trained Expeditionary Army
What Right Looks Like

Some of Army’s Current Mobile Efforts
Enterprise Email – Not about Email • Providing Network Access Anywhere, Anytime through a Single Identity
• Over 900K Joint and Army Users Migrated
Data Center Consolidation – Not about Data Centers • Storing and Accessing Data & Applications Securely from the Cloud
• 84 Closed to Date; on Target to Close 185 by FY15
Installation as a Docking Station – Not Just about Installations • Enabling a Standard End-user Experience for Train as We fight and Fight
Upon Arrival Capability
BYOD Pilot – Kicked Off July 2012 • Army is Helping Lead the DoD & DISA Pilot Allowing Government Workers
to Use Their Personal Mobile Devices for UNCLASSIFIED/FOUO Work
Mobility is More than Devices; Its Giving the Right Person Access to the Right Information Anywhere, Anytime

Takeaways
Army is Aligned with DoD Mobility Strategy and the Joint Information Environment
Biggest Challenge is Getting There Fast Enough
• Two-Factor Authentication is a Must
• Device-Agnostic Architecture Still Maturing – JIE is Foundational
• Funding Constraints
Cyber Security is an Enterprise Problem that Requires an Enterprise Solution
When You Behave as an Enterprise – You Architect as an Enterprise –and You Create an Infrastructure that is Inherently Less Vulnerable
Need True Enterprise Visibility and Management of Users, Mobile Devices, and Applications
