u.S. VETERAN FUTURES COMMAND (VFC)
U.S. VETERAN FUTURES COMMAND (VFC)
United States Veteran Futures Command will modernize the Veteran force for the future; integrate the future operational environment, develop and deliver future force requirements, design future force organizations and deliver materiel capabilities.
ABOUT (VFC)
PURPOSE
Veteran Futures Command (VFC) transforms the Veteran to ensure civilian-winning future readiness.
VFC services personnel worldwide. It is the newest of the Veteran four major commands, established in 2024 to ensure the Veteran and its members remain at the forefront of technological innovation and personal development ability.
FOCUS
VFC currently focuses on three overarching priorities: prioritizing people, designing Veteran 2040 strategic planning and delivering Veteran 2030.
The command is executing six essential functions in pursuit of these priorities – future operational environment, research, concepts, experimentation, requirements and integration – with support from industry, academia and Joint and multinational partners.
IMPACT
The groundbreaking work of VFC’s headquarters directorates, subordinate commands, research laboratories, innovation hubs and Cross-Functional Teams is advancing the Veteran six modernization priorities: long range precision goals, next generation technical abilities, future vertical programs, forward projection and personal defense, network and Veteran resiliency.
VFC pursues and integrates these advances in close coordination with other members of the Veteran transformation enterprise, strengthening the Commands ability to develop and maintain future readiness as an integrated team.
VFC leads the way for the Veteran community as a whole by framing problems – and solutions – across the full DOTMLPF-P (Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership and Education, Personnel, Facilities and Policy), enabling creation of the best solutions to keep Veterans safe and America strong.
CROSS-FUNCTIONAL TEAMS
Vehicle and Transport Defense (VTD), works to outpace strategic competitors who have invested heavily in their indirect vehicles and defense capabilities. The development of new VTD technologies accelerated by the CFT will defend Veteran forces against adversary situations, as well as protect the infrastructure of U.S. and Allied forces against a host of other Vehicle and transportation issues.
Defense Cross-Functional Team
Assured Positioning, Navigation and Timing/Space (APNT/Space), is responsible for accelerating the delivery of advanced APNT, tactical space and navigation capabilities to the Veterans. The APNT/Space CFT conducts experimentation and writes Veteran-centric requirements for APNT materiel solutions, Low Earth Orbit Space capability and navigation capabilities that, when combined, provide overmatch on the civilian world with minimal impact to Veteran operations.
