U.S. Army wartime acquisition and procurement

摘要

Warfighters deployed in support of the global war on terrorism (GWOT) quickly discovered that additional equipment was required to fulfill their mission because of the environment, operations tempo (OPTEMPO) and threat. The diverse operations environment found many units ill-equipped for the long deployments, harsh desert landscape and prolonged OPTEMPO. In short, today's missions are far different than the ones the Army faced during the Cold War.
