In a farewell message, outgoing Army Secretary Christine Wormuth praised the force for making strides to transform the Army while meeting missions at home and around the world.
Army fires must develop and converge effects to support large-scale combat operations on a battlefield where the enemy can see everything, a senior leader said.
Maj. Gen. Winston Brooks, commanding general of the Fires Center of Excellence and Fort Sill, Oklahoma, said that while air defense and field artillery are and should remain separate and distinct branches, efficiencies can be gained with sensors, shooters and battle command systems.
Despite “significant progress” in transforming its fires portfolio, the U.S. Army is not yet capable of overmatching potential adversaries in protracted large-scale combat operations at an acceptable degree of risk, according to a new paper by the Association of the U.S. Army.
Some of the lessons learned so far from the war in Ukraine have come into play as the Army considers how it will fight in the Indo-Pacific, Army Undersecretary Gabe Camarillo said.
Robots and machines are reshaping the modern battlefield, and the Army is working hard to adapt the way it figh

When Gen. Randy George became chief of staff of the Army last year, he established four priorities for the service. One of them was “continuous transformation.”
The first initiative to support that priority is what the Army calls “transforming in contact,” a short-term effort to transform but not necessarily “modernize” Army units for the rapidly evolving reality of warfare.
Setting the stage for a fight the Army must win, five of the Army’s most senior enlisted leaders provided in-depth briefings on the future battlefields NCOs need to prepare their soldiers for.
Once upon a time, if the Army needed a new weapon or communications system, it would send a list of requirements up the chain of command and wait for years to get the product fielded. But a new concept, called "transformation in contact," is streamlining that process.
"It's user-driven, as opposed to lab-based," Maj. Gen. Brett Sylvia, who commands the 101st Airborne Division, said Oct. 15 at the Association of the U.S. Army's Annual Meeting and Exposition.
In its bid to transform quickly to meet rapidly rising threats, the Army is expanding its “transforming in contact” initiative to get more new technology into soldiers’ hands.
Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George announced “transforming in contact 2.0” on Oct. 15 in his keynote speech at the Dwight D. Eisenhower Luncheon during the Association of the U.S. Army’s Annual Meeting and Exposition.
