Description: As fiscal year (FY) 2022 began, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID–19) pandemic continued to affect the Army. Mitigation measures and the fielding of vaccines had enabled the Army to resume many activities in FY 2021, but mutations in the virus created new, large outbreaks that required the Army, and especially the Army National Guard (ARNG), to assist civil authorities. In FY 2022, the Army faced the by-then common state of beginning the fiscal year without an approved budget. The demand from combatant commands for Army forces remained high even after the United States withdrew from Afghanistan in late FY 2021. The service’s highest priority remained modernization—in materiel, doctrine, talent management, and organization—to prepare for largescale combat operations. As part of that modernization, the Army, in FY 2022, continued to change policies, processes, and programs to improve its ability to build diverse, adaptive, and cohesive teams.
