Embracing Modern Warfare with Transformation in Contact

The Army's Transformation in Contact program focuses on adapting to modern warfare by utilizing affordable technology rather than relying on expensive, long-term contracts. Three brigades are currently implementing this initiative, which includes deploying equipment like drones and adapting command and control systems to modern devices like tablets. By observing real conditions in diverse environments, from the Pacific to Germany, the program aims to enhance the Army's operational speed and efficiency. This bottom-up innovation approach encourages soldiers to collaborate directly with technology developers to refine their equipment and tactics swiftly.
