2 8 APR 2006 MEMORANDUM FOR SEE DISTRIBUTION

SUBJECT: The Army Strategic Management System

1. The Army Plan is based on four overarching, interrelated strategies, focusing on people, forces, training, and infrastructure. The 2006 Army Posture Statement summarizes the key elements of The Army Plan.

2. To measure the execution of our plan and to focus our efforts and resources where we need them most, we are developing the Army Strategic Management System. This system builds upon the initiatives contained in the Army Posture Statement and the objectives of the Army Campaign Plan.

3. The Strategic Management System, now in development, will:

a. Align strategic focus across our various commands and organization.

b. Link strategy to resourcing in a way that will enhance informed decision making

c. Measure Army-wide performance and assess progress.

d. Reinforce a culture of performance, continuous improvement and accountability.

e. Identify opportunities to accelerate the momentum we have created.

4. The Strategic Management System will be completed and deployed by 14 July 2006. The 2006 Army Game Plan provides further description and context for this effort. The enclosed Department of the Army Memorandum, 24 April 2006, subject: Implementation of the Strategic Management System provides further detailed guidance.

5. We look forward to working with each of you to make the Strategic Management System the cornerstone of our strategic management efforts.

Peter J. Schoomaker General, United States Army Chief of Staff

Secretary of the A r m y
