Invest in S&T to enable next-generation capabilities
Build new capabilities to increase mobility, survivability, and lethality
Incrementally upgrade existing platforms; buy back weight and power
Divest aging systems to reduce O&S
Reset equipment used in Theater
• Reduce procurement quantities to match force structure reductions• Gained efficiencies
- Leveraging multi-year procurement (Black Hawk, Chinook)- Incorporate Better Buying Power initiatives (contracting, should-cost, competition)
