OUR MISSION
Our purpose remains constant
"This We'll Defend" has been our Army's motto since the Revolutionary War. It reminds us that our purpose is timeless and clear: to fight and win our Nation's wars. When our Army hits the dirt, America means business. Our teammates don't want to fight without us, and our enemies are wise to fear us. We are not a Pacific Army or a Europe Army. We are not Brigade-centric or Division-centric. We are a global force that fights when called upon at the scale required.
To do that, we must stay grounded, and dedicate our energy in four focus areas: Warfighting, Delivering Ready Combat Formation, Continuous Transformation and Strengthening the Profession.
THIS WE'LL DEFEND
When you are downrange and you hear a call sign come over the net, a mental picture comes to mind... When the American Army comes over the net, we want our teammates to know that the best, most disciplined land force in the world has arrived. All of us contribute to that reputation.
We are proud of this team. When we are called, we will answer... and we will win.
Our Roadmap to Success
Strategic Documents
Army Posture Statement
Supporting the National Defense Strategy
The Army People Strategy
Managing Our most important asset
The Army People Strategy is the roadmap the U.S. Army will use to build a twenty-first century talent-based personnel management system, reform essential quality of life programs and build cohesive teams that are ready, professional, diverse and integrated for the Joint Force. The Total Army will acquire, develop, employ and retain the diversity of Soldier and Civilian talent needed to achieve Total Army readiness.
The Army Modernization Strategy
Investing in the future
The Army Medical Modernization Strategy
Transforming and modernizing the Army Health System
The Army Medical Modernization Strategy (AMMS) articulates how the Army Health System will modernize to provide highly adaptive and effective health care on and off future battlefields. AMMS will improve future medical preparedness, processes and resources by informing new formations, doctrine, organizations and training; materiel development, equipment modernization and procurement, and medical integration with signature modernization efforts; and leader development, education, recruiting, retention and talent management. AMMS fully aligns with and supports the Army Modernization Strategy, and will guide the requirements, priorities and direction of medical modernization efforts critical to enabling future force readiness.
The Army Arctic Strategy
Regaining Arctic dominance
The Army Arctic Strategy supports the 2019 DoD Arctic Strategy and lays out how the Army will generate, train, organize and equip the force to partner with Arctic allies and secure the national interests. The Total Army strategy adapts how the Army executes extended, multi-domain operations in extreme conditions to support the joint warfighter, which demonstrates the Army’s resolve to securing national interests in the region.
The Army Climate Strategy
Enhancing Army readiness, resiliency and capabilities
The Army Climate Strategy is the framework for a long-term endeavor to operationalize climate adaptation and mitigation across the Army. The strategy drives actions to enhance readiness, resiliency and capabilities of the force. By implementing the lines of effort outlined in the climate strategy, the Army will achieve the goals of a resilient and sustainable land force able to operate in all domains with effective adaptation and mitigation measures against climate change, consistent with Army modernization efforts.
The Army Installations Strategy
Supporting the Army in multiple domains
The U.S. Army Installations Strategy is the first strategy to identify the need for modernized, resilient and sustainable installations. This strategy describes how installations will modernize to support the Multi-Domain Operations Ready Force over the next 15+ years.
Army Multi-Domain Transformation
Ready to win in competition and conflict
The Army's Multi-Domain transformation will set the conditions for the Joint Force to fight and win integrated campaigns necessary to defeat state actors. By 2035, the Army will enable the Joint Force to maneuver and prevail from competition through conflict with a calibrated force posture of multi-domain capabilities that provide overmatch through speed and range at the point of need.
Army formations and capabilities will provide the necessary speed, range, convergence, and decision dominance required for overmatch in a faster-paced, distributed, and complex operating environment.
Quality of Life Initiatives
Committed to improving the Army Family
Recognizing that our Soldiers, Civilians and families should have the best quality of life possible, the Army is reviewing the full range of its care, support, and enrichment programs, with an initial focus upon: housing and barracks, healthcare, childcare, spouse employment and permanent change of station moves.
