Gen. Karl Gingrich, the Army\u2019s deputy chief of staff G-8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army embarked on an effort last year to weed through its mountain of formal requirements for any equipment or resources, from networks to weapons, that it might want to discard due to their stale or outdated nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Requirements describe desired capabilities that the military wants to have. There\u2019s a sizable bureaucracy in the armed forces devoted to creating and refining requirements, passing them to acquisition specialists as the basis for eventual programs. Lousy requirements have led to billions of dollars wasted in the Army and elsewhere in the U.S. military.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service\u2019s new process is essentially an Army Requirements Oversight Council, or AROC, event \u2014 but in reverse. Instead of approving new requirements, as the panel usually does, the service approves their removal. The Army is calling it CORA, which is coincidentally a backwards \u201cAROC,\u201d but stands for Continuous Objectives Requirements Analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat we are doing is we are actually using some automated tools to go back and take a look and see what\u2019s still relevant with all these requirements documents,\u201d Gingrich said at the McAleese Defense Programs conference in Arlington, Virginia. \u201cOften, old requirements are still associated with some operations and sustainment funding, which can be allocated elsewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the Army validates new requirements coming online, the service is looking to identify requirements on the books that are rendered invalid as a result of new or changing requirements, Gingrich explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are becoming more sophisticated,\u201d Gingrich noted. The service is now able to \u2014 when writing new requirements \u2014 dive into old requirements using the CORA process and align resources from old requirements that are tied to new ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For instance, the Army is working to completely overhaul its command and control architecture through an effort<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2025\/01\/16\/army-to-competitively-develop-next-gen-command-and-control-prototype\/\" target=\"_blank\"> called Next-Generation Command-and-Control. <\/a>The previous capability consisted of a variety of essentially disparate systems. The Army was able to identify old requirements that established those \u201cvertical systems\u201d and off-ramped the money applied to those requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe will bring it into Next-Gen C2 in the future so that we ensure there\u2019s no money out there going toward legacy systems,\u201d Gingrich said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Army&#8217;s new process conducts reviews to identify old requirements that should be taken off the
