Soldiers and Army civilians from across the country worked together to fix a longstanding problem by developing the Armyâs first internally created cloud-based app, saving the Army significant amounts of time and money.
For Army Materiel Commandâs Director of the AMC Analysis Group Dr. Christopher Hill, this experience was an opportunity to solve a problem he experienced years ago as a company commander. A team of four Soldiers and two Army civilians, co-led by AMC and Army Futures Command, developed an app that changes the way Supply Support Activities fulfill their orders.
âWhat weâre trying to do is get this culture to Soldiers and civilians to enable them to fix problems themselves,â Hill, co-lead of the app team, said. âItâs a very powerful thing. Itâs not how we typically do things.â
