exception. It is a living, analytically supported decision aid which will be revised as new factors impacting modernization become known through analysis and experimentation. Unlike previous master plans and azimuths which once completed became end results, the Roadmap project will be on-going, and above all, useful for decision makers in the years to come.
The Roadmap contains two basic components which ultimately will be available on the Internet. One component is an automated, comprehensive data base containing all that we know about FA modernization and future developments. This data base will also contain the FA Redbook. The second component is this narrative layout of the Roadmap Modernization Strategy.
In terms of the FA DTLOMS, the Roadmap gives equal treatment to each of the domains, it does not focus solely on materiel. In addition, the Roadmap contains a seventh domain of simulations. In the future, simulations will have a major effect on all the DTLOMS and so for the purpose of the Roadmap, the DTLOMS will take on an extra S (i.e. DTLOMSS for Simulations).
Finally, the FA Roadmap supports the objectives of the Army Modernization Plan, e.g. project and sustain, protect the force, dominate maneuver, win the information war, and precision strike. It also tracks with the key pillars of the Joint Vision 2010: dominant maneuver, precision engagement, full dimensional protection, and focussed logistics.
