Rand Arroyo Center

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) funds RAND Arroyo Center, the Department of the Army's Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) for studies and analysis. RAND Arroyo Center draws researchers from RAND's staff of nearly 700 professionals trained in a broad range of disciplines. Most staff members work in RAND's principal locations: Santa Monica, California; Arlington, Virginia; and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. RAND Arroyo Center provides for continuing analytical research across a broad spectrum of issues and concerns, grouped in three major research areas: Personnel, Training, and Health; Forces and Logistics; and Strategy, Doctrine and Resources. RAND Arroyo Center research agenda is primarily focused on mid/long-term concerns. Current priorities include: implementation of the National Defense Strategy; total force readiness; Army modernization priorities; ongoing operations and dynamic force employment; reform business processes; multi-domain operations; and soldier-centric investments and soldier and family resilience. Results and analytical findings directly affect senior leadership deliberations on major issues. RAND Arroyo research is sponsored by the Secretary, Chief of Staff, Under Secretary, Vice Chief of Staff, Deputy Chiefs of Staff; Assistant Secretaries of the Army, and Army Major Commands. RAND Arroyo is governed by Army Regulation (AR) 5-21 and receives Army guidance through the Arroyo Center Policy Committee (ACPC), which is co-chaired by the Vice Chief of Staff of the Army and the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics and Technology). The ACPC reviews, monitors, and approves the annual Arroyo Center research plan. Each research project is sponsored by a General Officer or Senior Executive Service who is continually involved in research evaluation and feedback. RAND Arroyo provides the Army with a unique multidisciplinary capability for independent analysis. Note that FY23 includes SBIR (Title 15 USC §638(f)(1)) in the amount of $1,060K and STTR (Title 15 USC §638(n)(1)(A)) in the amount of $149K.
