The goal is to become lighter, more lethal, more survivable, easier to deploy and lower costs. In order to transform quickly and effectively, the Army may utilize commercial business practices to acquire transformation equipment, goods and services.

What commercial business practices could assist the Army in its Transformation? Can Strategic Business Alliances between the government and contractors help forge a winning team to aid in the Transformation effort?
