Challenges Ahead
18
Joint Fires Interdependence

• Vital to mitigating risk and reducing reliance on
  organic fires
• Give Soldier increased capabilities
• Modular design is dependent on leveraging joint
  fires
• Improve CAS with universal standards for target
  acquisition, observation, location, terminal
  guidance, effects assessment

Summary

• The Army is reorganizing to become a modular
  force truly relevant to the Combatant Commander
• Change is occurring now, and war is a forcing
  function
• The Army that emerges will be more capable, more
  agile, more adaptable, more lethal, and joint
  interdependent
• UEy is tailored to the Regional Combatant
  Commanders AOR Army and Joint support
• UEx is a flexible command and control
  headquarters for joint warfighting major
  operations
