How does the RCCTO approach the acquisition process compared to traditional Army commands?

The RCCTO utilizes streamlined acquisition authorities, such as Other Transaction Authorities (OTAs), to bypass traditional, lengthy procurement cycles and accelerate the delivery of critical technologies to the field.
