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. The imperative for a smaller, better, high-tempo Army is to maintain and even increase its capabilities through modernization.
