Army Futures Command’s Report Card After Its First Year (From RealClearDefense)

August 2, 2019Daniel Gouré, Ph.D.

Army Futures Command (AFC) was stood up on July 1, 2018. It achieved full operational capability on July 31, 2019.

Even before the location of the new command’s headquarters was established or a commanding officer selected, the Army organized eight Cross Functional Teams (CFTs) to advance the Service’s critical modernization priorities. The CFTs are beginning to produce results.
