Introduction The Project Manager for Soldier Systems (PM-Soldier) was officially chartered in June 1992. Creation of the PM-Soldier fulfilled the senior Army leadership's long-standing desire to structure an activity to centralize the life-cycle management of soldier system materiel acquisition. Since 1992, PM-Soldier's fundamental mission to modernize the individual soldier has remained constant, although the quantity and complexity of the programs managed by PM-Soldier have increased as we deploy the soldier onto the digital battlefield.
