Leveraging Information for a Competitive Advantage

摘要

On Feb. 24,2014, the secretary of defense unveiled the Department of Defense's (DOD's) fiscal year 2015 budget request. This document made one thing perfectly clear: the Army has officially entered an indefinite period of declining resources. Given anticipated fiscal constraints, the Army must find a way to make the sustainment warfighting function more effective and efficient if it is to remain the world's dominant land power. Seeking constant improvement is vital since most of the Army's budget is spent recruiting, retaining, paying, and equipping our Soldiers and keeping them healthy.
