What is Force 2025 and Beyond?

“Force 2025 and Beyond the comprehensive effort for changing the Army and improving land power capabilities for the Joint Force. It synchronizes processes and products from concepts to capabilities to implement change. Force 2025 and Beyond efforts produce recommendations that help Army leaders direct modernization and force development.”

Force 2025 and Beyond is the Army’s Innovation Effort

“Innovation is the result of critical and creative thinking and the conversion of new ideas into valued outcomes. Innovation drives the development of new tools or methods that permit Army forces to anticipate future demands, stay ahead of determined enemies, and accomplish the mission.”
