U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Aaron Gaddy, from Charlie Company, 4th Battalion, 23rd
Infantry Regiment, 172nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team, walks to a rally point
during an operation in Ayn Mana, Iraq, June 26, 2006.
Dear Reader:
The weapon systems and equipment described in this reference book represent an
essential aspect of our commitment to the security of the nation, the preparedness
of the Soldier, and the readiness of the Army.
We serve the Soldier, the centerpiece of our combat systems. Our Soldiers are
critical to an Army that is serving the nation at war; more than 268,000 troops
are answering the Call to Duty in more than 120 countries worldwide, and they
stand ready to fulfill all current missions, including homeland security.
The Army is investing in recapitalizing and modernizing the Current Force to ensure
continuing Army dominance in the face of emerging threats. New capabilities have
been fielded to support current operations. New efforts are getting equipment to our
Soldiers faster than ever. We are maintaining readiness and improving the capabilities
of units returning from and preparing for deployment.
In addition, the Army continues to develop the Future Combat Systems (FCS)
initiative, which represents the Army’s first full-spectrum modernization in nearly
40 years. When fully operational, FCS will provide the Army and the joint force with
unprecedented capability to see the enemy, engage him on our terms, and defeat him
on the 21st century battlefield. FCS will become the face of the Future Force.
The following pages describe our investments in the successful acquisition and
sustainment of weapon systems and equipment. As you use this informative
resource, however, remember that even the most technologically advanced
platforms are useless without the skill and dedication of the American Soldier.
Working with Congress, we will strive to provide our Soldiers with the best
possible equipment so that our Army will be ready to meet today’s requirements
and tomorrow’s challenges.
Claude M. Bolton, Jr.
Assistant Secretary of the Army
