The command responsible for shepherding the Army’s top modernization priorities will achieve full operational capability on July 31, according to its leader.
In 2017 the service announced plans to establish a new Army Futures Command to pursue its six most important technology initiatives: long-range precision fires; next-generation combat vehicle; future vertical lift; the network; air-and-missile defense; and soldier lethality.
In July of last year, the Army announced that Austin, Texas — one of the nation’s leading tech hubs — had been selected as the home of AFC’s headquarters. Service leaders said officials had already started to flow there to help set up the new command, and upwards of 500 personnel were expected to be stationed there.
