The United States Army is shifting from an Army of execution to an Army of preparation. We will draw down operations in Afghanistan while our Soldiers remain deployed in more than 100 countries around the world to prevent conflict, deter aggression, and shape the operational environment. Army formations will continue to strengthen U.S. overseas partnerships and enhance regional security while remaining prepared at home to face the next natural disaster, and serve in whatever capacity our Nation requires. We will transition from adapting our capabilities with small off-the-shelf changes for the immediate conflict, and focus more on science and technology, to foster the innovations that will help the U.S. Army maintain its comparative advantage far into the future. This infographic highlights insights and key data related to this transition, and reinforces the Army’s priorities for responding globally and engaging regionally with a scalable and ready modern Army.

WE HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE
History shows a natural cycle of the U.S. Army executing operations and adapting its concepts and capabilities in times of conflict, followed by a period of preparation and innovation targeted on future challenges. We are again transitioning from an Army at war to an Army preparing for the next battle.

NOW IS THE TIME TO INNOVATE
While adaptation can deliver just-in-time, “good enough” solutions – often in response to a specific threat – innovation comes from a more methodical examination of long term possibilities. Innovations are more durable, and will provide the Army with strategic advantage in future operations.
OPERATIONS WILLINCREASE - ANDDIVERSIFY
Since the end of the Cold War, our nation’s commitment of Army resources has increased by 76 percent and often extends far be-yond the initial operation. Our Soldiers will respond to whatever our nation asks of them, from humanitarian aid and disaster relief to Joint combat operations.
Continuous Support to Civil Authorities Includes: Wild Fires - Hurricane, Flood, Tornado Relief, - Medical Research - Waterways & Civil Works - Chem - Bio Response - Counter Drug - Homeland & Missile Defense

THE TOTAL ARMY HAS A VITAL ROLE
We must balance End-Strength, Readiness and Modernization The unique attributes of Active, Guard and Reserve forces will be vital to future readiness. As we transition to new end strength levels in the coming years, we must maintain balance with readiness and modernization to retain our flexibility to support national defense requirements.
SOLDIERS WILL LEAD THE WAY
Training and leader development must enhance operational adaptability--the ability of Armyleaders, Soldiers, and civilians to shape conditions and respond effectively to abroad range of missions and changing threats and situations withappropriate, flexible, and responsive capabilities.
The Army’s charter remains to be the best-manned, best-equipped, best-trained and best-led land force in the world. We will be leaner, more agile, and continue to apply the lessons of more than a decade of continuous combat.
“[The Army] shall be organized, trained, and equipped primarily for prompt and sustained combat incident to operations on land.” -Title 10 United States Code.

The Army provides more than half of the nation’s special operations forces.

Three quarters of the Army stand trained, equipped and ready for deployment, while the remainder provide critical institutional sup-port for these troops.
The future complex operating environment is characterized by a chaotic mix of actors and a wide range of threats. The Army’s modular organiza-tion provides the ability to tailor the right mix of forces, scaled to the proper size, to meet the joint commander’s specific requirements.
WE WILL BE GLOBALLY RESPONSIVE, REGIONALLY ENGAGED
The Army provides Regionally Aligned Forces to support Combatant Commanders’ shaping operations and build relationships that prevent strategic miscalculations. Supporting Joint Commanders across the range of military operations and around the globe, the Army provides strategic landpower to prevent conflict, shape the operational environment and win decisively.

9 THE ARMY CONTINUES TO FACE HARD CHOICES
We will balance technology investments, acquisition strategies and mission requirements to ensure our Soldiers have what they need to adapt and win in the near term, and ensure true strategic success in the end.
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS ARE KEY TO THE FUTURE
In the future, effective use of Strategic Landpower will require a commensurate investment in technology. Future breakthroughs in material sci-ence, nanotechnology and other untapped scientific fields may provide the key to future combat superiority.
