Part A. GENERAL GUIDANCE
The Army Modernization Strategy (AMS) describes how the Total Army (Regular Army, National
Guard, Army Reserve, and Civilians) are transforming the Army into a multi-domain ready force by
2035. To achieve this end state, the Army must modernize how we fight, what we fight with, and who
we are. This approach integrates the elements of doctrine, organizations, training, materiel, leader
development and education, personnel, facilities, and policy (DOTMLPF-P). This award calls for
innovations in all DOTMLPF-P areas.
The term innovation is the result of critical and creative thinking and the conversion of new ideas into
valued outcomes. Innovation drives the development of new tools or methods. For the purpose of the
Major General Greene Innovation Award Program, innovation is broadly defined as the action or
process of innovating through change, alteration, revolution, transformation, or breakthrough.
Innovation is further characterized by the terms: creativity, originality, ingenuity, inspiration, and
inventiveness and is not limited to technologies, inventions, products, hardware, or software. Innovation
can also take the form of new measures, methods, techniques, and modernization, which have military
