The Army will need new units to man new weapons systems

New vehicles, helicopters and missile systems may grab headlines as the Army makes big moves to modernize the force, but for every new system, there will be a need soldiers for to man it, and that means new units.

Some of those units have been established or are being built, such as the Security Force Assistance Brigades or Multi-Domain Task Forces. But others might center around the up-and-coming technologies now being developed, said Army Chief of Staff Gen. James McConville.

Just as past soldiers first filled the ranks of Patriot Missile Batteries when they came online, so too might a future soldier fall into formation as a member of a Hypersonic Artillery unit or a Precision Strike Missile Battery.
