What is Foundry?
Project Foundry is a training and operational program designed to sustain perishable intelligence capabilities and provide regional focus, technical training and functional expertise for the tactical MI force through live environment training. Project Foundry addresses the need for focused MI training in a real-world environment and special certifications not offered by TRADOC or FORSCOM for all intelligence disciplines. Project Foundry supports the Army Chief of Staff’s (CSA) mandate for “MI to maintain contact with the enemy.” The intent is to provide operational level intelligence experience throughout all phases of the Army Force Generation Model (ARFORGEN).
Conceptually, Project Foundry provides tactical MI Soldiers the opportunity to maintain contact with an adaptable adversary in a complex operating environment. This experience will maintain MI Soldiers at a high state of readiness to enable intelligence driven operations for warfighting commanders. In addition to the training and operational opportunities with theater and national level units, MI Soldiers will be better prepared for deployment, receive functional and regional expertise, and create linkages to the broader intelligence community. Lastly, Foundry will train MI Soldiers as they are expected to fight, using Commander driven requirements to sustain their readiness.
