Transforming in Contact is the Army's adaptation of its organizations and delivery of new technology into the hands of Soldiers so that they can experiment, innovate, and be ready to fight on a modern battlefield. It accelerates the fielding of necessary capabilities and leverages commercial-off-the-shelf products to get new capabilities to the force fast. Soldiers can organize and integrate the capabilities during realistic training scenarios, adapting their formations to fit the need and making technology work for them rather than working for the technology. This informs how we fight and how we organize in the future.
