The Army’s transformation push becomes more important every day, said Gen. James Rainey, commanding general of Army Futures Command.
Speaking July 27 at the Association of the U.S. Army’s Warfighter Summit and Exposition in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Rainey said, “There are absolutely some seriously disruptive things happening in the world and happening in our profession right now.”
“I believe that the amount of disruption and the pace of disruption we are experiencing in combat right now is unprecedented since maybe the lead up to World War II, when people were inventing airplanes and tanks,” Rainey said. “Whatever you think you know, you don’t. Whatever you do know, you are not going to know next year,” he said of the pace of changes in warfare.
To keep up, the Army will need “continuous adaptation,” Rainey said. He also had two warnings, which he described as “gigantic things you should be thinking about.”
