Shaping the Army of 2020

Abstract

As we reduce our presence in Iraq and begin to draw down our forces in Afghanistan, the Army is approaching a critical transition point. We must now shift focus from the singular idea of winning the current fights to simultaneously staffing, training and equipping as a readiness-focused force. Although we must prepare for the future, we cannot shortchange our soldiers or the nation with respect to ongoing combat operations. Today s soldiers must still have what they need when they need it, and we must accomplish the missions the nation has already assigned us.
