Army Leaders Ask for Congressional Help
Army leaders said they’ll need congressional help to carry out the acquisition transformation needed to prepare the force of the future.
Speaking at a congressional breakfast on the second day of the Association of the U.S. Army Annual Meeting and Exposition, Acting Secretary of the Army Ryan D. McCarthy and Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Milley said the Army is moving as quickly as possible to make up for years of dormant weapons-buying and acquisition programs.
Milley acknowledged the Army is an expensive department but “it is well worth it.”
