What I Want to Leave You With

RDECOM will ensure S&T materiel readiness for 2040 and beyond

• RDECOM is the Army’s premier organization for science, technology and engineering

• Support to the Warfighter is our #1 priority …we support current operations and shape

capabilities for the deep future

• We ensure the decisive edge for our Army, joint partners and Nation

• We have operationalized RDECOM - aligned S&T funding to requirements derived from

the Army Operating Concept and Warfighting Challenges

• We optimize S&T; employing system of systems practices as well as modernization

• Partnerships with industry, academia, DoD labs, and our Allies are essential

What Our Nation’s Leaders are Saying

about Science and Technology

Continued investment in S&T enables the Army’s decisive overmatch

President Barack Obama

“Whether it’s improving our health or harnessing clean energy, protecting our security or succeeding in

the global economy, our future depends on reaffirming America’s role as the world’s engine of scientific

discovery and technology innovation.”

Dr. Ashton Carter, Secretary of Defense

“Investing in science and technology early on, ensures that the Pentagon will have something on the

shelf when it needs it, so that it does not have to start from scratch when it is too late."

General Mark Milley, Chief of Staff of the Army

“Robust investment in S&T underpins technological advances in our military capabilities and is vital to

maintaining technological superiority.”

Hon. Katrina McFarland, Acting Asst Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics & Technology)

“When we invest in S&T innovations, we invest in our vision for the U.S. Army—a force capable of meeting

challenging fiscal climates head-on and maintaining our technological superiority over our adversaries.”

Hon. Eric Fanning, Secretary of the Army“Tomorrow’s Army depends on its success in exploiting the best technology today. As global threats

evolve, the Army must accelerate its own capabilities in areas like cyber, electronic warfare, and protecting

our communication networks. Today, and in the future, our Army depends on maintaining a technological

edge over our adversaries.”
