To guide us through the challenges, opportunities and changes we now
confront, CECOM has published a new Campaign Plan that reflects our vision
to be the joint warfighter’s life-cycle provider of choice by sustaining worldclass,
globally-networked C4ISR systems. Just as importantly, our Campaign
Plan highlights CECOM’s defining role as the ‘Critical Link’ that connects
the full range of today’s advanced C4ISR capabilities with the Soldier on the
battlefield.
To better fulfill this role as the ‘Critical Link’ and to help our Command prepare
for a new era, our Campaign Plan further identifies a number of key initiatives
we will undertake, to include:
• Streamlining our field support strategy to provide our operational
commanders a – ‘one-stop-shop’ for all their CECOM support.
• Developing life-cycle sustainment for the Army Network while integrating the
latest technology advancements.
• Applying lean processes for our software sustainment model that improve
business practices while reducing total life-cycle costs.
• Working with the Army Staff and AMC, to replace legacy IT systems by
eliminating obsolete equipment.
• And… cost effectively modernizing IT infrastructure at our camps, posts and
stations.
Simply put, our new Campaign Plan will allow CECOM to truly become the
‘Critical Link’ that drives the global readiness of our Army and Joint Force’s
complex, networked C4ISR capabilities. The Campaign Plan is available on
our public homepage at http://cecom.army.mil/, and I encourage all of our
CECOM team members to take time to read it. It is important for each of us to
understand our command’s new direction - as we chart the course for the Army
of 2020 and beyond.
Despite the many challenges we confront, there is one thing that will never
change – our commitment to doing all we can to develop and support our
workforce. The future success of our command will always rely on the more
than 8,000 tremendous CECOM Team members whose hard work and
dedication drives C4ISR readiness worldwide, ensuring that CECOM truly is
‘The Critical Link.’
