Army Secretary Christine Wormuth has laid out an ambitious plan for addressing some of the biggest challenges facing the force. She said her plans look at making a brighter future for the Army.
At the top of her list is putting the Army on a solid and sustainable path. This is a challenge not made any easier by the “lack of certainty” in available funding, Wormuth said Feb. 8 at virtual event hosted by the Center for a New American Security, a Washington, D.C.-based nonpartisan research group focused on defense and national security policy.
She expressed hope and confidence that the Army will get the funding it needs when Congress ultimately passes a long-delayed defense budget. The Army needs to continue its transformation while coping with growing problems recruiting a quality force and caring for people and infrastructure, Wormuth said.
In a memorandum to the force, Wormuth said the Army is “navigating an unpredictable future,” as is the nation.
