<H2>TODAY'S FOCUS</H2>
<P><FONT SIZE=2><B>2006 Game Plan</B><BR><BR>The 2006 Game Plan describes the strategic
challenges we face as we seek to accelerate the momentum we have established to
transform our Army. The Game Plan reinforces the centrality, importance, and
intent of the Army Campaign Plan. The Campaign Plan is the authoritative
document governing the execution of the four overarching, interrelated
strategies contained within The Army Plan, which are summarized in the 2006 Army
Posture Statement. <BR><BR>We will need your continued superb leadership to:
promote understanding of our strategic direction and our compelling needs,
manage complexity, and continue to lead change. To help us to realize the Army
Vision, and stay "on course" during the next 12 to 18 months, the Game Plan
outlines a distinct set of priorities for military and civilian leaders. These
priorities communicate the intent of our senior leaders, and serve as guidance
to unify our collective effort at this pivotal time for our Army. <BR><BR>To
exploit the opportunity before us - based on our wartime focus and levels of
resourcing - we will use initiative to identify opportunities to accelerate
transformation, while maintaining balance across our programs and activities.
(NOTE: A summary of the four overarching strategies - and several key
initiatives that reflect the Army's commitment to our Soldiers and families - is
attached for your use.) As we move forward, we will adhere to the following
priorities (explained in the Game Plan):<BR><BR>* Accelerate Momentum<BR>* Don't
"Live Rich"<BR>* Reinforce Safety<BR>* Measure Performance<BR>* Maintain
Property Accountability<BR>* Communicate the Army Story<BR>* Build
Support.<BR><BR>The Game Plan is provided in electronic form to help leaders to
promote understanding of recent decisions. It provides a starting point to learn
about: stationing, force structure, the 2006 Quadrennial Defense Review,
business transformation, the Army Force Generation Model, Departmental process
improvements, the Strategic Management System, and many other areas. (The Game
Plan is designed to be easy to read; however, it provides more than 140
hyperlinks to enable leaders to readily access key memoranda, briefings,
reports, and additional sources of information based upon the needs of their
commands and organizations.)<BR><BR>The Game Plan is posted on the Army
Knowledge Online (AKO) Senior Army Leader Page at <A
href="https://www.us.army.mil/suite/login/welcome.html"
target=_blank>www.us.army.mil/suite/login/welcome.html.</A> Special access is
required. A CD-ROM will be distributed with glossy versions of the document. The
web, CD-ROM, paper, and downloadable versions of the document (and the one-page
summary) have been designed to support professional development and leader
presentations.<BR><BR>The Game Plan is a product of the Executive Office of the
Headquarters Staff Group, Office of the Chief of Staff, Army, DACS-ZDV-ESG.
