In a rapidly evolving operational environment, Army units must adapt to emerging threats and leverage advanced technology to maintain a competitive edge. However, success in Army transformation involves more than just acquiring new devices, it requires a fundamental shift in organizational culture and a techcraft mindset. Techcraft includes the skills, techniques, and knowledge Soldiers require to effectively integrate, utilize, understand, and maintain modern technological equipment and systems in a military context. This article will explore some of the key elements and strategies identified by Army leaders to foster a techcraft culture that will enable success in continuous transformation.

U.S. Army South (USARSOUTH) SOUTHERN VANGUARD series of exercises is built to enhance relationships, promote mutual military readiness, and to increase interoperability between the United States and Western Hemisphere forces. This annual exercise is a cornerstone for USARSOUTH to establish the foundation for lasting integrated deterrence with select partner nations across the U.S. Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM) area of responsibility (AOR). Although executed at the tactical level, the exercise is proving to have an operational impact at the Army-to-Army level. This fourth iteration, Exercise SOUTHERN VANGUARD 24 (ExSV24) command post exercise (CPX) was conducted from 24 October-22 November 2023 at multiple locations across Brazil including Belem, Macapa, and Oiapoque, Brazil.
