Following service chief testimony, Army public affairs will not actively seek opportunities to discuss the QDR with the media. However, if asked we will provide knowledgeable spokespersons in the he national capital region. We have the world's best Army, a full spectrum force, trained and ready for victory. We are changing to meet challenges of today, tomorrow and the 21st century. The Army must be prepared to project its capabilities rapidly an effectively in support of the national military strategy.
Land forces provide the nation the full range of options for shaping the world environment.
The Army is transitioning from an industrial to an information age Army. The Army of the future will be a knowledgeable and capabilities-based, power projection Army, capable of land force dominance across the continuum of 21st century joint military operations. The Army's ability to use information to dominate future battles will give the United States a new key to victory, for years if not generations to come. The Army has shifted its intellectual and physical focus from a predominately forward deployed force to a United States based force projection Army. While the size of the force has been substantially reduced, the tempo of current operations remains high.
