Army Staff Transformation Initiatives

Abstract

Force Management is the process whereby mission-ready Army organizations are established and fielded. Forces and equipment are validated, prioritized, developed, integrated, synchronized, fielded, and/or modernized within this framework. As a key transformation initiative, and under the direction of the Secretary of the Army, General Shinseki created the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Programs (ODCSPRO) on 1 December 2000 as the responsible agent for Army force management initiatives. The ODOSPRO is on point for the Army to develop the weapon systems necessary to meet the CSA's guidance of transforming to a lighter, more lethal, and agile force. Of great concern is ensuring that the ODOSPRO is adequately structured and manned to fulfill force management and budget functions in light of the significant responsibility of weapon system acquisition and transformation from the legacy to objective force. The argument centers on the functional capabilities of each directorate within the ODOSPRO, and their ability to conduct force management as new programs are created under the auspices of Army Transformation.
