HUNTSVILLE, Alabama — The Army is venturing into a rapidly changing and unknowable future,and will need to invest in capabilities that help it seize advantages over its enemies, the commanding general of U.S. Training and Doctrine Command said March 31.
That may require a change in the way the Army acquires technologies, said Gen. David Perkins during a speech at the Association of the U.S. Army’s global force symposium and exposition.
The focus of acquisition should be building capability to win, not simply buying a desired thing, he said. That philosophy is based in the Army’s new operating concept, “Win in a Complex World,” which was released last year. Winning, according to that vision, means always being one step ahead of your adversary, Perkins said.
