Two distinct, yet closely synchronized Army entities are collaborating to optimize the service’s ability to prevail in future ground war, by maturing multi-pronged analysis related to emerging technologies and the growing need to adapt warfare strategies and tactics.

Combined Arms Maneuver

Army Futures Command and the services acquisition arm called the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army – Acquisition, Logistics and Technology are working together to navigate the uncertain and potentially turbulent waters of future conflict.

Army Acquisition Executive Mr. Douglas Bush says his office is focused on the timing of prototyping, new weapons development and timely funding to ensure technological innovations support emerging concepts of Combined Arms Maneuver.

“I’m eagerly anticipating the work being done by futures on new force designs, I think they are correct in identifying the technology is changing. So as always, the Army’s formations probably need to change at some point. So I think that that’s good analysis work that’s ongoing, and I think they’re doing well based on a little bit that I’ve seen,” \Mr. Douglas Bush, Assistant Secretary of the Army, Acquisition, Logistics and Technology, told Warrior in an interview.

The partnership between Army Futures Command and ASA ALT is intended to align innovations and weapons development with the need to change and adapt combat maneuver formations in response to a changing threat landscape. Future warfare will be faster, multidomain and more dispersed, something Bush said will be driven by the growing existence of much longer-range fires and increased precision. Therefore, there continues to be careful and detailed collaborative work between the two interwoven entities to ensure paradigm-changing new technologies correctly inform emerging concepts of operation.
