The Army Transformation: Gaining and Sustaining Momentum
Abstract
In the Fall of 1999, the Army Chief of Staff and the Secretary of the Army initiated a process to profoundly change the United States Army - changes they believe are vital to the Army's relevance to the nation and to meet the demands of warfare in the twenty-first century. The process, known as Army Transformation, will take twenty to thirty years and impact all systems, processes, equipment, people, and infrastructure within or supporting the Army. Through review of the professional literature and personal interviews, this study addresses the momentum of Army Transformation. The specific focus is to identify lessons from corporate experiences that the Army can apply to develop and sustain sufficient momentum for the transformation to succeed. The target audience is the next and successive generations of senior leadership as they stay the course toward the objective force of the future transformed Army.
