Shaping the Army Of 2020

摘要

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 al- ready assigned us. The same idea holds true for tomorrow's soldiers and missions as well.
