Ready to Win in Competition and Conflict

By 2035, the Army will enable the Joint Force to maneuver and prevail from competition through conflict with a calibrated force posture of multi-domain capabilities that provide overmatch through speed and range at the point of need.

Army formations and capabilities will provide the necessary speed, range, convergence, and decision dominance required for overmatch in a faster-paced, distributed, and complex operating environment.
