Our first responsibility is to the Soldier who protects and preserves our Nation.  We strive to meet the needs of the Soldier at war while innovating to respond to the rapidly evolving threat environment.  In meeting Soldier needs, from Combatant Commands to Boots on the Ground, we ensure the production of the highest quality capabilities, providing the right product to the right place, at the right time. As the single decision authority on all matters regarding acquisition, we ensure that America’s Army is equipped for the 21st century. 
Our second responsibility is to the Acquisition Workforce, the men and women who work daily to ensure quality products for the Soldier.  We must ensure the readiness of a professional civilian and military workforce.  We must promote leadership and professional development within the Acquisition Workforce.  We must ensure that individual skill sets are matched with relevant work requirements.  We must promote an environment of open communication, where the workforce can understand their role in equipping and sustaining the world’s premier fighting force.
Our next responsibility is to our Partners – Army, Joint, Industry, international, and academia. We work with our partners to develop, acquire, deliver and sustain weapons systems and capabilities to our Soldiers.  We must collaborate to ensure the Soldier is equipped quickly with the right product. We must work closely with our partners to continually improve Army capabilities and to ensure their interoperability.

Our final responsibility is to the American Public.  We must be good stewards of the taxpayers’ dollars and work to continuously achieve the highest levels of effectiveness and efficiency in our business.   We must communicate effectively to those who represent the public to ensure that they understand the impacts OASA(ALT) has on their constituents. We look to the community for support.
