SENIOR LEADERS ARE SAYING
FCS is the centerpiece of the Army’s modernization program. We remain  
totally committed to fully fielding this essential component of the  
future force. The Evaluation Brigade Combat Team is a key milestone  
in the FCS program and will enable the Army to evaluate technologies  
and develop tactics, techniques and procedures that will maximize the  
program’s value to the force.

Dr. Francis J. Harvey
Secretary of the United States Army

2006 Army Posture Statement: Provide Infrastructure and Support

We are providing infrastructure and support to ensure the Army is  
able to execute its mission.   We are:

* Investing in our bases that house and deploy our Soldiers, depots,  
arsenals, and the information network that connects them.

*  Adjusting our global footprint to be better positioned for the  
challenges of the 21st century and the long war on terrorism.

* Consolidating our activities to become more effective (to do our  
job better) and more efficient (with best use of resources).
