Delivering Capabilities to the Army's Brigade Combat Teams

The Army brigade combat team (BCT) modernization strategy will build a versatile mix of mobile, networked BCTs that will leverage mobility, protection, information, and precision fires to conduct effective operations across the spectrum of conflict. Key to modernizing the Army BCTs is to empower Soldiers with increased Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) and Lethality capabilities. Starting in 2011 Soldiers of the Army’s infantry brigade combat teams will receive incremental capability packages that will provide much needed networked ISR capabilities. Today, Soldiers at Fort Bliss, Texas, are part of the acquisition process, testing and evaluating the equipment to ensure a better end product. Learn More Media Brochures
