One prominent example was roadside improvised explosive devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI helped play a big role with [then] Sec. [of Defense Robert] Gates establishing the [Mine Resistant Ambush Protection] program,\u201d Undersecretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy said at the AUSA Global Force Symposium in Huntsville, Alabama March 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/c4isrnet\/c2-comms\/2017\/04\/19\/the-army-fielded-15-years-worth-of-comms-equipment-now-what\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/635977856668973600-slide12png.png?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">The Army fielded 15 years&#8217; worth of comms equipment \u2014 now what?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">After almost two decades in high-tempo conflict, the Army is now trying to focus on its logistics, sustainment and life cycle problems.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With soldiers dying daily at the hands of IEDs, \u201csustainment was not even a question, McCarthy said. \u201cIt was all about speed and he didn\u2019t care what it costs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With several organizations now focused on rapid capability development in the Army, including the Rapid Equipping Force and the Rapid Capabilities Office, McCarthy said the service needs to make sure whatever these organizations procure, there must be a determination of whether they become a program of record or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army today has over 800 programs, which becomes unruly to manage, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHow do you sustain that? How do you afford that,\u201d he asked. \u201cWe\u2019re looking at how we fuse those pieces together \u2026 Are they investing money? Are they investing against the chief\u2019s priorities?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McCarthy added that the Army needs to show discipline so that whatever it buys, that new technology can be turned into a program of record and survive if leadership believes the solution should be a long-term capability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These choices are necessary at the outset because over the last 17 years of war, the Army accumulated a lot of capability. This is all \u201cvery expensive and it just drags down our balance sheet,\u201d McCarthy said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Army leaders have learned they need to take think
