HUNTSVILLE, Ala. — The Army’s new modernization command will be fully operational by the summer of 2019, according to the service’s undersecretary.
Speaking March 26 at the Association of the United States Army's global force symposium in Huntsville, Alabama, Ryan McCarthy said the location for the Futures Command headquarters is yet to be determined, but will be in an urban setting. The service plans to examine factors such as proximity to private sector innovation and quality of life to narrow down options to 10 cities in the next few months. After the list is again whittled down to four potential locations, it will be sent to Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley for consideration.
