Operations Economy of Forces

Abstract

Personnel procurement and organization strength plays a vital role in the principal of war Economy of Forces. The Department of Defense in conjunction with Congress and many other entities mandate the management of the personnel strength for the Army. Their decisions have an effect on the effective employment of the Economy of Forces concept. This study discusses some of the effects of current measures and describes how our ability to manage the employment/deployment of Army personnel and equipment to multiple operations is somewhat limited. A brief review of our history will prove that our government is ineffective in managing our military strength as a measure to prepare for the unknown.
