The United States Army is changing, and the scope, pace and
complexity of that change is unprecedented, given that change is
occurring during a war very different from those of the past. The
Army Strategic Planning Guidance, 2005, describes why and how the
Army must change. It outlines the nature of future threats, with
particular emphasis on the asymmetrical threats of today. Army
Strategic Objectives provide more specific Army-level guidance on
what must be done now and in the future. This paper examines the
tactical effects and future implications of artillery precision
munitions on Army Strategic Objectives. The paper describes these
tactical effects and future implications on the key elements of the
Army Strategic Objectives--trained and equipped Soldiers; developed
leaders; a ready, relevant land force for the Joint Team; and
dominance of the full-spectrum of warfare. The paper concludes that
artillery precision munitions will significantly enable the
objectives related to equipped Soldiers; a ready, relevant force on
the Joint Team and dominance of the full warfare spectrum. However,
the paper also concludes that there are major challenges in the
areas of training and leader development that must be addressed, if
the Army is to fulfill these desired objectives.
