摘要

The Army has achieved significant successes, to date, in the global war on terrorism, demonstrating proficiency in all six of its core competencies. The experience in Afghanistan and elsewhere also reveal important challenges for the 'Army of Excellence' and warfighting systems designed for mass industrial age warfare. During a 26-29 August 2002 conference conducted at the Collins Center for Strategic Leadership of the United States Army War College, a group of 51 representatives, from throughout the Army gathered to examine initial impressions from Operations Enduring Freedom and Noble Eagle (OEF/NE).
