The Noncommissioned Officers (NCOs) are reclassified in the Army Acquisition NCO Corps after serving 7-10 years in their respective enlisted career management fields, and serve primarily in the Army Acquisition Career Management Field - 51 and (MOS) 51C.

[7][8] The Office of ASA(ALT) has a direct reporting unit (DRU) which is denoted the U.S. Army Acquisition Support Center (USAASC).

[10] AFC's approach to modernization is to clarify the engineering of a candidate system before it becomes a Program of Record in the Acquisition process.

AROC brings the budgeting, requirements and acquisition circles into a venue for making some key decisions.

[32]: minute 7:30  A series of Acquisition reforms[26] has attempted to address these problems, not the least of which is an impending funding shortfall in 2020.

The 6th ASA(ALT) Bruce Jette has cautioned the acquisition community to 'call-out' unrealistic processes which commit a program to a drawn-out failure,[46] rather than failing early, and seeking another solution.

[51]: minute 17:10 The modernization of the combat systems of the US Army in a timely way is the goal of Futures Command, established in 2018.

AFC uses Cross-functional teams (CFTs) to downselect prospective requirements from the myriad solutions that might possibly feed into the Acquisition process.

Each CFT addresses one of a manageable number of priorities set by the secretary and Chief of Staff of the Army.

Each prototype is expected to reach Milestones: A, B, C, .. until a Materiel Development Decision (MDD) can be made, whether or not to admit a Combat system into the Acquisition process.

So really all we’re trying to do is get them all lined up under a single command…..from concept, S&T, RDT&E, through the requirements process, through the beginnings of the acquisition system — Milestone A, B, and C — ….aligned under that same commander.
