# Army Modernizes U.S. and European Networks

The U.S. Army is undertaking an ongoing enterprise-network modernization across U.S. and European theaters, replacing wide-area-network equipment with software-defined networking, next-generation firewalls, and a zero-trust architecture. The effort signals demand for network hardware, cybersecurity, systems engineering, installation, infrastructure readiness, and lifecycle sustainment, but the source identifies no solicitation, contract value, or awardee.

- Network and cybersecurity contractors can assess how their capabilities align with the Army’s stated modernization components, including software-defined networking, next-generation firewalls, and zero-trust architecture.
- Systems integrators and sustainment providers may find relevant work in equipment replacement, installation, infrastructure readiness, and lifecycle support across the U.S. and European theaters.
- Because no procurement vehicle, solicitation, or award is identified, the article indicates a program-level market signal rather than a currently defined bid opportunity.
