Plan Centaur Update Mar 2018
Plan CENTAUR, while making progress during its implementation phase, now has a broader focus that captures Army’s goal of “improving land materiel effectiveness”.
Program Director General, BRIG Dave McGahey, said “That while the program will continue to have a RAEME focus, it is now ready to engage wider land materiel reform efforts with the tools and data developed through the initial stages of the Project.”
“Much of what CENTAUR has been doing in the early phases has been to understand Army’s materiel management requirement and the tactical-level change vital to maintenance system effectiveness,” BRIG McGahey said.
