Empowering Change: The Role of Non-Commissioned Officers in Implementing Transformation in Contact
The Army’s recent reframing of the transformation strategy into three distinct time horizons, being driven by Army Futures Command, marks a change in the language used to inform the Army of transformation efforts which ensure the Army remains agile, efficient, and ready to meet the demands of modern warfare. Army Futures Command is aggressively pursuing transformation opportunities and priorities across these three-time horizons: Transformation in Contact (18-24 months), Deliberate Transformation (2-7 years) and Concept-Driven Transformation, while protecting key capabilities from strategic competitors.
Continuous Transformation’s first time period, Transformation in Contact, encompasses a broad range of initiatives designed to enhance operational effectiveness, from advanced weapon systems to cutting-edge communication and technological integration. During this time period, the Army will deliberately and systematically order select units to begin incremental changes in organization or equipment.
