Editor's Notes: All Eyes on Army Acquisitions
6/7/2022
By Stew Magnuson
Last month’s “Editor’s Notes” column looked at the Army Software Factory in Austin, Texas, which has had some success in its first year developing applications soldiers are using for a variety of purposes.
It was a “good news” story for the Army and the magazine was happy to print it. It’s just as import to report about programs that are going right as the ones that are going sideways — or the “bad news.”
When it comes to writing about military acquisitions there is rarely a lot of good news to report, even more so for the Army.
It’s not as if the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps haven’t had their share of high-profile failures that cost taxpayers millions. It’s just that Army’s reputation for acquisition failures tops the others.
