DEVCOM Commanding General highlights Army Transformation and Armaments Innovation during Picatinny Arsenal visit
PICATINNY ARSENAL, N.J. – The new commanding general of U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command, or DEVCOM, visited Picatinny Arsenal from Aberdeen Proving Ground, Md., on Aug. 7, his first time at the northern New Jersey military installation and the first since taking command in June.
The visit from Brig. Gen. Robert Born comes several months after a comprehensive modernization campaign was launched to overhaul the Army's structure, technology, and operational mindset for 21st-century warfare.
“This is arguably one of the biggest transformations that the Army has undergone, certainly in the last 50 years, and potentially in our history when you look at how we are reorganizing the U.S. Army to address a modern battlefield and changing and evolving threats to our nation,” Born said as he addressed the Armaments Center workforce during a town hall meeting in the Lindner Conference Center.
