Army transformation and the requirement to support two major combat operations simultaneously has placed a burden on the Army's ability to generate equipped, trained, and ready combat power on a reliable non-exhaustive cyclic model. The Army Force Generation Model (ARFORGEN) has done a great deal to alleviate that stress by dictating timelines for equipping, training, deploying, and resetting of combat units. However, when dealing with information systems that have an ever evolving capabilities timeline, the ARFORGEN process results in units deploying with information technology capabilities that may be several years old. To preclude that from happening, and to provide the best possible solution in a timely manner, Program Managers of Army Digital Systems have created innovative tools and procedures to augment the ARFORGEN Process and deliver the best possible information technology system of systems to combat units. These tools include forward presence, database managers, and an Army wide collaborative process that provides constant upgrade, even through the deployment timeline.
