US Army Futures Command chief: How the new command will change the service
By: Gen. John Murray   2 days ago
Gen. John Murray is the commanding general of U.S. Army Futures Command.
This increasingly complex security environment is defined by rapid technological change, [and] challenges from adversaries in every operating domain ... we must make difficult choices and prioritize what is most important to field a lethal, resilient, and rapidly adapting Joint Force. America’s military has no preordained right to victory on the battlefield.
Throughout history we have adapted our Army to changing conditions. In the face of major strategic shifts, we have done more than adapt; we have fundamentally restructured our institutional base. Following the near disaster of the Spanish-American War, Secretary of War Elihu Root modernized the Army’s institutional structure to account for America’s increasingly global role. In the first year of World War II, Gen. George Marshall merged 20 Army agencies into three commands — reforms vital to win the war. In the aftermath of the Vietnam War, Gen. Creighton Abrams established U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command and U.S. Army Forces Command to transform a troubled Army, ill-prepared to fight the Soviet military, into the one of Desert Storm.
