From the Editor Transformation headlines this issue of Military Review, just as it consumes thinkers, planners and analysts inside and outside the Army. Understanding both the contemporary and the historical contexts for transformation is fundamental to visualizing the Army's future organization, equipment and missions. Articles in the lead section describe the landscape and also emphasize the constant imperatives of close combat and leader development.
Transformation extends beyond hardware, software and sinew.
Without aligning the Reserve Component forces organizationally and exploiting them operationally, the Army cannot achieve full-spectrum dominance. And until the Army recruits and retains enough quality soldiers, manpower will constrain the military's support of national security policy. Welcome to the 21st Century. Authors in this issue consider these wide-ranging concerns. And as always, the nation looks to its leaders for answers.
