9. The War on Terror Will Not Be Short • Continuously Rejuvenate Today's Fleet • Replace Parts With More Reliable Parts • Leverage Commercial Innovation • Use Block Improvements for Vehicle Architectures Upgrades Crew Survivability is a Permanent Requirement

10. Challenges • Increased Fuel Efficiency • Increased Reliability • Reduced Maintenance

11. Lessons Learned • War has changed our thoughts and requirements for future combat vehicles and trucks as to: • Survivability • Armor • Hull Shape • Communication Equipment • Reliability/Maintainability

12. TACOM/PEO CommunityRESET Mission “Sustain and RESET combat-ready forces to meet all aspects of Army mission requirements” “Support level of effort to meet the Army requirement to return the force to fully ready status. RESET includes all units and/or organizations that were directly involved in OIF/OEF. RESET also includes future deployment missions.”

13. RESET Objectives • RESET • Return the equipment to 10/20 standards or higher within 180-365 day timeframe. • RESET - National Level • Equipment that was deployed that has been identified as requiring repair beyond 10/20 standard. • RESET - Retail Level • Deployed equipment that units will bring to 10/20 standard at home station with support from TACOM/PEO community.

17. Modularity ObjectivesCombat Systems • Massive transformation of Army force structure on-going under tight timelines • Transformation involves realignment from corps, division, brigade structure to modular unit of employment/action structure • Modularity – USF – Reset are NOT Synchronized • Leverage RESET and Modularity • Realignment requires significant organizational and geographic movement of systems, personnel, and support infrastucture • Secondary Items – Shortages across the Army • Impacts supportability
