With the future of conflict uncertain and technology evolving at a rapid pace, the Army must make adaptability a top priority, said Gen. James Rainey, commander of Army Futures Command.
“In the event that we find ourselves in another conflict, I would put adaptability at the near top of the characteristics that we’re going to need, because nobody’s going to get the future totally right,” Rainey said June 3 as part of the Strategic Landpower Dialogue series co-hosted by the Association of the U.S. Army and the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
“It’s about not getting it really wrong, seeing what you missed and being able to adapt faster, which is a skill that we need to get better at as a military,” Rainey said. “We should get better at it now before we have to do it in combat.”
He described the current threat environment as “the most disruptive point in terms of technology” since before World War II, when people were “inventing things like airplanes, radios, combustible engines.”
