The Army must change the way it does business as it transforms the force for the future, the service’s top general said.
“The battlefield is changing as fast as the technology in your pocket, and we know we have to change,” Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George said.
Speaking on May 19 on a Council on Foreign Relations panel with the other service chiefs, George emphasized the importance of not just pursuing the latest capabilities but also the need to change how the Army buys things, how it trains and how it fights.
“We have been watching what’s happening on the battlefield in Ukraine and the Middle East and, really, around the world,” George said. “We’ve been doing something called transforming in contact, where we’re actually getting bottom-up innovation from our troops, but it’s not a lesson learned unless you’ve actually done something to change how you train and operate.”
