    Behind the Frontlines: Enabling the Warfighter - Leadership Insight: Deferred Consequences Sustainment Risk in Experimentation and Prototyping

    Behind the Frontlines: Enabling the Warfighter - From the DACM: Rebuilding the Army Acquisition Workforce for Speed, Agility and Results

At the center of this evolution is a concept often discussed but not always fully understood: workforce optimization.
