A Message from the Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of the Army

The Office of the Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of the Army has developed a bold new strategic plan that is resultsoriented and captures the enduring nature of “Service and Workforce Excellence.” After identifying six overarching mission areas, we developed specific strategic goals, subordinate tasks and subtasks, and ways to measure our success in each mission area. By focusing on these strategic initiatives and directing our efforts, OAA’s senior leadership will be able to turn our vision into reality and enhance customer satisfaction.

We—OAA’s Soldiers, civilians, and contractors—are capable of providing superior service and support to our Nation, its citizens, our customers, and our stakeholders despite the tests we face in dealing with the uncertainties of reduced postwar budgets. I am challenging the workforce to meet our mission every day by efficiently using our resources in these times of fiscal constraint.
