# Army Identifies Modernization Workforce Needs

At AUSA Annual 2024 on October 14, 2024, U.S. Army representatives and Booz Allen Hamilton Senior Vice President Stephanie Boone-Shaw discussed the skills needed to implement, maintain, and operate Army modernization technologies, as well as approaches to recruiting, training, and retaining that workforce. The discussion highlights workforce capacity as a factor in delivering and sustaining Army modernization, but the announcement identifies no solicitation, contract, funding, or procurement timeline.

- Contractors supporting Army technology programs can relate workforce-development capabilities to the implementation, maintenance, and operational skills discussed at the panel.
- Companies offering recruiting, training, or retention support may find these needs relevant when shaping proposals for Army technology and human-capital work; the signal does not identify a specific acquisition opportunity.
