The Army's Vision and Strategy
The Four Focus Areas
Warfighting
We must ruthlessly prioritize time and resources towards building lethality and cohesive teams.
Continuous Transformation
We will transform iteratively and continuously to become more mobile, lower signature and, most importantly, more lethal.
Delivering Ready Combat Formations
We must be ready to get our formations to the fight and sustain them there; while empowering our families with simplified, locally tailored programs.
Strengthening the Profession
To maintain America's trust, we must serve with competence and character. When it comes down to a close fight in the mud, character, grit, and discipline make the difference.
Army Posture Statement
Supporting the National Defense Strategy
The Army Posture Statement is the Secretary of the Army and the Chief of Staff of the Army's written testimony to Congress on the state of the U.S. Army. The statement describes where the Army is and what the Army has done over the last year to support the National Defense Strategy.
This unclassified summary outlines the Army’s annual accomplishments, initiatives, and priorities, based on the Army Vision and Army Strategy. It also explains the Army’s budgetary needs for maintaining its strategic priorities in the upcoming fiscal year.
The Army Modernization Strategy
Investing in the future
The Army Modernization Strategy (AMS) describes how the Total Army — Regular Army, National Guard, Army Reserve, and Army Civilians — will transform into a multi-domain force by 2035, meet its enduring responsibility as part of the Joint Force to provide for the defense of the United States, and retain its position as the globally dominant land power. AMS is the Army's plan to deliver a multi-domain operations capable force and explains how the Army will operationalize the concept.
The Army Medical Modernization Strategy
Transforming and modernizing the Army Health System
The Army Medical Modernization Strategy (AMMS) articulates how the Army Health System will modernize to provide highly adaptive and effective health care on and off future battlefields. AMMS will improve future medical preparedness, processes and resources by informing new formations, doctrine, organizations and training; materiel development, equipment modernization and procurement, and medical integration with signature modernization efforts; and leader development, education, recruiting, retention and talent management. AMMS fully aligns with and supports the Army Modernization Strategy, and will guide the requirements, priorities and direction of medical modernization efforts critical to enabling future force readiness.
The Army Arctic Strategy
Regaining Arctic dominance
The Army Arctic Strategy supports the 2019 DoD Arctic Strategy and lays out how the Army will generate, train, organize and equip the force to partner with Arctic allies and secure the national interests. The Total Army strategy adapts how the Army executes extended, multi-domain operations in extreme conditions to support the joint warfighter, which demonstrates the Army’s resolve to securing national interests in the region.
Army Multi-Domain Transformation
Ready to win in competition and conflict
The Army's Multi-Domain transformation will set the conditions for the Joint Force to fight and win integrated campaigns necessary to defeat state actors. By 2035, the Army will enable the Joint Force to maneuver and prevail from competition through conflict with a calibrated force posture of multi-domain capabilities that provide overmatch through speed and range at the point of need.
Army formations and capabilities will provide the necessary speed, range, convergence, and decision dominance required for overmatch in a faster-paced, distributed, and complex operating environment.
Quality of Life Initiatives
Committed to improving the Army Family
Recognizing that our Soldiers, Civilians and families should have the best quality of life possible, the Army is reviewing the full range of its care, support, and enrichment programs, with an initial focus upon: housing and barracks, healthcare, childcare, spouse employment and permanent change of station moves.
The Army Data Plan
Transforming our people, processes, technology and governance
The Army Data Plan, aligned to the Army Vision, sets forth guiding principles, goals and objectives, imperatives, and data management structures to transform how the Army manages, analyzes, and utilizes data to enable data-driven decisions across its enterprise, and with partners, through a resilient, secure hybrid cloud solution.
The Army Space Vision Supporting Multidomain Operations
Enabling successful operations in and through the space domain
The Army Space Vision communicates to Army commanders, staff and other stakeholders, the importance of space domain effects to successful Army operations and the need to invest in space capabilities and formations. The Army Space Vision describes the Army’s role, both as a user and a provider of space-related systems and formations, to fight and win in multidomain operations.
