ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. (Oct. 24, 2017) -- A paradigm shift is set to occur inside the Army's command posts.
Today's generation of Soldiers use a computing ecosystem -- connected and synchronized smartphones, tablets and laptops, unknown to Soldiers a decade ago. These younger Soldiers have embraced the thousands of applications that have transformed communication and collaboration. The Army is now implementing a plan to modernize software applications and hardware used in command post operations to more closely align with what Soldiers have come to expect in their personal lives.
Currently, the computing environment in the command post primarily consists of separately developed systems. CPs are filled with a dozen or more screens displaying battlefield data, along with several types of computers and multiple servers hosting systems that support various warfighting functions such as Movement, Maneuver, Intelligence and Fires. Each stand-alone system provides just a segment of the data that must be fused to generate the commander's common operating picture.

African Land Forces Summit 2010
What is it?
African Land Forces Summit is a premiere engagement opportunity that brings together land forces chiefs of staff from African nations and military leaders from the U.S. Army to discuss topics based on the theme "Adapting Land Forces to 21st Century Security Challenges."
Maj. Gen. William B. Garrett III, U.S. Army Africa commander, will host the inaugural African Land Forces Summit in Washington, D.C., May 10-14, 2010, on behalf of Gen. George W. Casey Jr., U.S. Army Chief of Staff.
What has the Army done?
U.S. Army Africa invited 44 African land forces chiefs of staff to attend the summit. Gen. Casey will open the event, and the summit will present a number of high-level guest speakers and multiple opportunities to discuss topics relevant to each areas specific needs. Speakers will address topics such as African Security Challenges, Peace Support Operations and Institutional Adaptation, followed by small-group discussions. The event will also include a visit to Fort Benning, Ga., where African military leaders will see the full-spectrum of Soldier training.
What continued efforts does the Army have planned for the future?
The next African Land Forces Summit will take place in 2012 in a yet-to-be-determined location in Africa. The forum will meet every two years because the invited leaders recognize global trends affecting the region and are dedicated to working collectively to keep pace with the changing environment. U.S. Army Africa is the Army Service Component Command (ASCC) assigned to U.S. Africa Command, and is America's premier Army team dedicated to positive change in Africa. U.S. Army Africa will continue to build cooperative relationships and enduring partnerships that contribute to African capabilities.
Why is this important to the Army?
This is the first African Land Forces Summit, which opens attendance to land forces chiefs of staff from African nations. The African Land Forces Summit provides an opportunity for U.S. participants to hear issues and concerns directly from African military leaders. It also provides a forum for our partner nations to freely express their opinions, concerns, desires, goals and ideas. Developing cooperative relationships and enduring partnerships among our militaries will help promote security, stability and peace in Africa.

Construction of the new home of the U.S. Army Installation Management Command at Ft. Sam Houston is on track, with the first move-in of 50 employees on track to start June 21. Fifty employees will move to the new
building every day. The first floor is nearly complete and has been outfitted with carpet, cubicles and furniture.
Some new features to look forward to:
- Cubicles are 6x9 feet, three feet longer than those at the leased space. Upgrades include a wardrobe closet and more shelves for storage.
- Cubicles will be set up with lights and data support and will be ready for immediate laptop plug-in.
- Indirect fluorescent lighting reflects off white ceiling, reducing glare (and headaches).
- Windows along the perimeter hallways provide natural sunlight.
- Division chiefs will have private or semi-private offices. Semi-private offices have sliding frosted glass doors for privacy.
- As available, branch chiefs will have semi-private offices.
- There are more meeting space options than available in the leased space. The building has a total of 36 conference rooms of various sizes. Also, open-air "collaboration areas" are dispersed throughout each wing for meetings/production space.
- Each floor has two break rooms, with two refrigerators and two microwaves. AAFES will provide vending machines
- Each floor's accent walls are painted a different color; the first is red, second is green and third is blue.
- Native Texas grass, trees and plants surround shaded outdoor seating areas.
- Parking on three sides of the building allows for approximately 2,100
spaces to accommodate government personnel in the campus area. Handicapped-accessible spaces are provided in all the parking areas.
- Based on a recent personnel poll, the food court (directly off the north lobby on the first floor) will have an Einstein Bagel shop and a Subway sandwich shop.
- The IMCOM crest is inlaid into terrazzo tile in both main lobbies (north and south). The north entryway has black tile and the south is white, to help guests remember which entrance they came through.
- "Quiet" rooms will be provided on each floor.
- An "Effects" room will be provided adjacent to the Command Suite. This will provide a meeting and work space for special work groups, tiger teams,
and task forces.
- The primary visitor entrance will be the south entrance lobby and includes a reception desk.
- VIP guests will have direct access from the first to the third floor from a separate west entrance.
The move from the leased space will be completed by the end of July. The IMCOM Campus remains on schedule to be completed by the Sept. 15 BRAC deadline.
