Posted by Staff on April 3, 2008 |

The U.S. Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Airland heard testimonies today on Army modernization. Lieutenant General Stephen M. Speakes and Lieutenant General N. Ross Thompson III offered testimony that “focuses on the Army modernization strategy, which is informed both by lessons learned from the wars in Iraq Afghanistan and the Army’s operational concept of full-spectrum operations, recently unveiled in the revised Field Manual (FM) 3-0, Operations,” reads the testimony.

The witnesses continued to thank the subcommittee and the U.S. Congress for their continued support, but emphasized that funding for modernization programs is the “cornerstone” to their operations.
