“Our heavy forces are too heavy and our light forces lack staying power.” - CSA, 23 June 99
Develop warfighting capabilities using available systems and technical insertions to provide a solution that allows the Army to better deal with Small Scale Contingencies without risk to its primary role to fight and win Major Theater Wars

- In Small Scale Contingencies is capable of determining the outcome
- In Stability and Support Operations is the guarantor combat force
