US Army transformation - an update
Article Abstract:
The U.S. Army transformation is a reconfiguration of combat organizations from heavier to light force that will maintain and employ weapons and support items that capitalize on appropriate technologies. The war on terror, which is concentrated in Afghanistan, war in Iraq, predictable directorial changes within the global threat spectrum and federal budget limitations are the challenges faced by the U.S. army transformations.
