This United States Army manual, Army Regulation AR 70-1 Army Operation of the Adaptive Acquisition Framework November 2023, establishes policy, assigns responsibilities, and implements the Department of Defense (DoD) Adaptive Acquisition Framework (AAF) as described in Department of Defense Directive (DoDD) 5000.01, Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 5000.02, and the various DoDDs, DoDIs, and other DoD policy publications associated with each AAF pathway for Army-managed acquisition programs. This publication applies to all Army-managed acquisition programs, including national security systems (NSS) and acquisition special access programs (unless specifically excepted by a program charter) (see chap 2). The Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics and Technology) (ASA (ALT)) Systems Special Programs Directorate serves as the Army focal point for all highly sensitive, classified program acquisition matters.
