Gen. Robert Edmonson, who leads Communications-Electronics Command, which is charged with sustaining command, control, computers, communications, cyber, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat we\u2019re doing is we\u2019re embedding ourselves further left in the process. We\u2019re getting engaged in the Army Requirement Oversight Council, Army capabilities boards and many others, and we are ensuring that our capabilities and our requirements are clearly understood and codified early so that we can plan appropriately to deliver that capability at the point of need,\u201d he said in a Nov. 2 interview. \u201cThat\u2019s not a conversation that begins the day in which you realize that you have a need. That\u2019s a conversation that begins many years in advance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the last 20 years, as America\u2019s forces focused on counterterrorism, the sustainment of systems was often an afterthought. Early engagement, however, allows the sustainment community to better prioritize capabilities, Edmonson said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He noted that under the Army\u2019s new readiness model \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/news\/your-army\/2020\/10\/14\/new-force-generation-model-aims-to-regionally-align-army-units-give-troops-predictability\/\" target=\"_blank\">Regionally Aligned Readiness and Modernization Model, or ReARMM<\/a> \u2014 there are certain resourcing decisions that must be made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have decisions to make under ReARMM. We have deliberate decisions to make with regard to units that are modernizing inside of a certain window and units that are deploying inside of a certain window,\u201d he said. \u201cThat\u2019s going to allow us inside of CECOM to target our efforts to program our resources to be much more deliberate and precise in the readiness that we\u2019re providing to units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNot all units will be in the same cycle in the same window at the same time. From a CECOM perspective, what that means for us is we\u2019ll able to see when units are most available for sustainment, what units are maybe not as available for certain levels of sustainment at a certain time. But really it\u2019s going to be much more dynamic of a process than previous[ly].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, he said, ReARMM allows CECOM to look at today\u2019s maintenance requirements and modernization priorities under a single model to make informed decisions about what to divest, adding it is critical for the multiyear budgeting cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the Army tries to improve its sustainment capability, Edmonson said he is challenging the community to examine how it might sustain commercial off-the-shelf equipment differently than is currently does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe need to understand more of that commercial off-the-shelf capability, and we need to be able to build ourselves into what we\u2019re going to want to look like tomorrow,\u201d he said, noting these capabilities will increasingly factor in the Army\u2019s capability arsenal of the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs the network and cybersecurity are major pillars within the National Security and National Defense strategies, Tobyhanna Army Depot is improving its organic industrial base to provide world-class C5ISR depot-level support to the Army\u2019s 31+4 signature modernization efforts and joint weapons systems,\u201d he said. \u201cAs the Army and other services adopt agile acquisition strategies for network-enabled weapon systems, Tobyhanna Army Depot remains linked to the program offices, Army Futures Command and [Department of Defense] materiel developers to obtain common or standardized technical capabilities necessary to develop infrastructure investment strategies to support those future, enduring requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Communications-Electronics Command is working with requirements personnel to get ahead of sustainment
