WASHINGTON: The US Army’s modernization effort is well underway, with service leaders pledging that 24 of the service’s 35 modernization programs will be in soldiers’ hands as fielded systems or prototypes in fiscal 2023.
The multi-billion-dollar effort includes a wide range of next-generation battlefield capabilities, from new ground vehicles to long-range missiles to enhanced network tools as the service pivots away from counterterror operations to near-peer threats in China and Russia.
“Our efforts are already paying off,” Army Chief of Staff Gen. James McConville said in his keynote speech at the Association of the United States Army (AUSA) conference in early October.
