Architects of Transformation 1 U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command Soldier as a System (SaaS) Overview Prepared for The National Defense Industry Association 14 May 2003 Architects of Transformation

2 “The Army Vision begins by talking about people, and it ends talking about people because soldiers--not equipment--soldiers are the centerpiece of our formation.” General Eric V. Shinseki Chief of Staff United States Army 17 October 2000

Architects of Transformation 3 SOLDIER as a SYSTEM (SaaS) Task and Purpose Provide all individual Soldiers with superior capabilities to accomplish assigned task or conduct missions against any opponent based on a DOTMLPF approach to modernization.

Architects of Transformation 4 SCOPE of SaaS The Soldier as a System is the individual Soldier (human) and everything the Soldier wears, carries or consumes (to include man- portable systems). The Soldier as a System must include physiological (“skin in”) as well as applied “skin out” capabilities and considerations in an operational environment (both natural and man induced) that ranges from home station to the battlefield.
