U.S. Army leaders fielded questions from lawmakers on May 7 over their latest plan to position the fighting force and streamline the processes for adopting new technology and weapons systems for future conflicts.

Secretary of the Army Dan Driscoll and Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George unveiled the Army Transformation Initiative in a May 1 statement.
