Army AL&T, January-March 2008
Abstract
From the Army Acquisition Executive: Our constant first priority within the acquisition, logistics and technology (AL&T) community is providing world-class weapon systems and equipment to the warfighter, and I am proud of my entire organization's success in fulfilling this important duty. Still, while at war, we must continue to work hard and work together to get even better capability to warfighters -- especially those in the warfight right now -- much faster. One way we are doing this is by bringing both the acquisition and logistics communities together. That was our aim when the Life Cycle Management Command (LCMC) concept was formalized in August 2004 with the goal to provide products to the Soldier faster, make good products even better, minimize life-cycle costs, and enhance synergy and effectiveness by enabling a closer relationship between the U.S. Army Materiel Command's major subordinate commands and the program executive offices (PEOs). In the last few years, we have established four LCMCs in the areas of weapons, electronics, combat vehicles, aviation and ammunition. Our LCMCs provide critical resources to our warfighters at the right time, right place and right price. As I have stated before in this very publication, our LCMC effort to streamline multiple Army acquisition and logistics programs and organizations into leaner, more organized commands has been successful. In this edition, we highlight our newest LCMC -- the joint Munitions and Lethality LCMC, Picatinny Arsenal, NJ.
