Arroyo Center Spt

Abstract

This Program Element funds the RAND-Arroyo Center, the Department of the Army's Federally Funded Research and Development Center, for strategic studies and analysis. The Army's management of RAND-Arroyo's activities are governed by AR 5-21. RAND-Arroyo Center provides strategic analytical research across a broad spectrum of issues grouped in three major research areas: Personnel, Training, and Health; Forces and Logistics; and Strategy, Doctrine and Resources. The RAND-Arroyo Center research agenda is primarily focused on mid/long-term strategic concerns. Current priorities include: implementation of the National Defense Strategy; total force readiness; Army modernization; operations and dynamic force employment; reform of business processes; multi-domain operations; 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 Army Senior Leaders and Army Major Commands. The Arroyo Center Policy Committee (ACPC), co-chaired by the Under Secretary of the Army and Vice Chief of Staff of the Army, provides guidance, sets the annual research plan, and monitors execution. In FY21 the ACPC directed a change in the execution of the RAND-Arroyo program which resulted in a change to business practices. The ACPC also directed a consolidation of existing resources for the RAND-Arroyo program.
