OUR MISSION
OUR PURPOSE REMAINS CONSTANT
"This We'll Defend" has been our Army's motto since the Revolutionary War. It reminds us that our purpose is timeless and clear: to fight and win our Nation's wars. When our Army hits the dirt, America means business. Our teammates don't want to fight without us, and our enemies are wise to fear us. We are not a Pacific Army or a Europe Army. We are not Brigade-centric or Division-centric. We are a global force that fights when called upon at the scale required.
To do that, we must stay grounded, and dedicate our energy in four focus areas: Warfighting, Delivering Ready Combat Formation, Continuous Transformation and Strengthening the Profession.
THE FOUR FOCUS AREAS
We must be ready to get our formations to the fight and sustain them there; while empowering our families with simplified, locally tailored programs.

The Army Arctic Strategy
Regaining Arctic dominance
The Army Arctic Strategy supports the 2019 DoD Arctic Strategy and lays out how the Army will generate, train, organize and equip the force to partner with Arctic allies and secure the national interests. The Total Army strategy adapts how the Army executes extended, multi-domain operations in extreme conditions to support the joint warfighter, which demonstrates the Army's resolve to securing national interests in the region.

Ready to win in competition and conflict
The Army's Multi-Domain transformation will set the conditions for the Joint Force to fight and win integrated campaigns necessary to defeat state actors. By 2035, the Army will enable the Joint Force to maneuver and prevail from competition through conflict with a calibrated force posture of multi-domain capabilities that provide overmatch through speed and range at the point of need.
Army formations and capabilities will provide the necessary speed, range, convergence, and decision dominance required for overmatch in multi-domain operations.
