AMCOM Town Hall highlights transformation updates, workforce resilience and employee recognition

By Dr. Richelle Brown U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command

The U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command hosted a Town Hall at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, December 10 to update the workforce on Army transformation efforts, organizational realignments and resource conditions shaping AMCOM’s mission execution in FY26 and beyond.

Maj. Gen. Lori Robinson, AMCOM commanding general, outlined the pace and scope of change occurring across the Army, emphasizing that AMCOM’s role as a sustainment enabler remains critical despite evolving structures.

“There is a lot of change going on across our Army right now,” Robinson said. “But what I’m confident of is that every one of you understands how AMCOM fits into that change and why your work continues to enable Army readiness.”

Robinson provided updates on the establishment of the Production and Acquisition Enterprises, the formation of the Organic Industrial Base Integration Cell and anticipated internal adjustments as the command aligns to new enterprise constructs. She reinforced that AMCOM’s core responsibilities—modernization, sustainment and readiness—remain unchanged.

“Our modernization efforts and our sustainment mission aren’t going away,” she said. “We must evolve so the Army can deliver capability faster.”

Command Sgt. Maj. Chris Doss recognized the workforce for its professionalism and perseverance during a challenging year marked by furlough impacts and fiscal constraints.

“The resilience you’ve shown—and still being able to execute the mission—is remarkable,” Doss said.

Additional topics addressed included the transition to the account validation system (AVS) and changes to the AMCOM G6, Information Management Landing Page.

Following the leadership updates, Robinson and Doss recognized AMCOM Most Valuable Players and honored employees celebrating more than 30 years of federal service.

The Town Hall concluded with a Q&A session addressing employee concerns both in-person and virtually with answers to be published on the internal AMCOM website.
