MajGen Scott G. West, Commanding General U.S. Army TACOM Lifecycle Management Command described the vision and mission of TACOM.
TACOM is tasked with supporting a diverse set of product lines through their life cycles, from combat and tactical vehicles, armaments, watercraft, fuel and water distribution equipment, to soldier, biological, and chemical equipment.
TACOM has the challenge of integrating new technology while maintaining force readiness while supporting the warfighter. New technology is making these costs rise exponentially. TACOM estimates that it could cost up to $60K to outfit an individual soldier in the near future as opposed to $17K today. From 1941 to 1973 the cost per soldier stayed steady at $2K.
TACOM is also executing a plan to modernize its industrial base.

Aw, this was a really quality post. In theory I’d like to write like this too – taking time and real effort to make a good article… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and never seem to get something done.
