B. Science & Technology Integration With Requirements

TRADOC's role in the Army's Science & Technology program is clearly defined. As the originator of warfighting requirements for the Army, TRADOC uses three tools to help focus the S&T communities' support the Army's requirements: the S&T review, the STO review, and the ACT II program. Although separate but concurrent, these tools help to focus the Army's S&T efforts to best meet the requirements TRADOC determines. The mechanism the TRADOC community uses to evaluate the current S&T work effort is Future Operational Capabilities (FOC) statements.
