Lieutenant-General Michael Wright says the Army we have is not the Army we need – and that is about to change. To kick off season 7, the Army Commander outlines an ambitious modernization agenda: a major structural realignment, new weapons and capabilities, and new personal kit for soldiers. All this so the Army can evolve beyond "contribution warfare" missions and be ready for large-scale combat operations.
