By: Jill Aitoro   1 day ago
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Army has a spotty history when it comes to large acquisition programs. Secretary Mark Esper himself referred to the Future Combat Systems and Comanche helicopter in the context of grand failures. But more than a year into his tenure, with the formation of Futures Command and the launch of 31 programs, the Army is on track for transformation.
Defense News interviewed Esper while traveling with him to Redstone Arsenal and Fort Rucker in Alabama, focusing on the great potential and natural risks of going bold and going fast.
There’s been talk of an Army renaissance. What progress has been made since you came on board? Is it fast enough?
