The development of the model began in 2018 after the US Army shifted its focus from counter-insurgency operations to building capabilities for large-scale combat.

The first significant change was adopted in the 1940s, followed by the ‘Big Five’ strategy in the 1980s.
Flynn added: “ReARMM is evolutionary, not revolutionary, and includes the previous best practices and lessons learned.”
