Army Works to Keep Modernization on Track
Monday, April 13, 2020
The Army’s modernization efforts—from testing protypes to working with industry—remain largely on track even as the service juggles delays and staffing challenges during the COVID-19 crisis, two senior officials said.
“We’re looking through each of the primary programs and doing everything we possibly can to keep things on track,†said Gen. Mike Murray, commanding general of Army Futures Command. “Right now, there may be small interruptions, but I’m looking at the major milestones we have to look at to keep programs on track.â€
Murray and Bruce Jette, assistant Army secretary for acquisition, logistics and technology, recently spoke to reporters. Each emphasized that the Army continues to work closely with its industry partners as the companies navigate local stay-at-home orders and step up efforts to protect their employees.
