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

education, personnel, facilities, and policy (DOTMLPF-P). This award calls for innovations in all

Innovation is further characterized by the terms: creativity, originality, ingenuity, inspiration, and
