Final Report of the Committee to Evaluate the Army Study System

Abstract

The report examines the Army study system to intensify its contribution to overall Army operations and improve study management. The evaluation covers the planning, programing, budgeting, and accounting for studies being processed by the Army Staff, the Army Materiel Command, and the Army Combat Developments Command. It reviews the processing of contract studies and major in-house studies in view of the Army capabilities to conduct studies. The recommendations propose an omnibus regulation controlling the overall management of the Army study system; replacing the present calendar year Army Master Study Program (AMSP) with The Army Study Program (TASP) keyed to the fiscal year; outline procedures for selecting and announcing priority study problem areas; offer a method for illuminating priority study requirements; identify a means for displaying financial visibility to the Army study effort; and reemphasize the role of the study coordinator.
