Force Structure: Army Needs to Further Test the Light Infantry Division

Abstract

This report responds to your request that we examine the Army's evaluation of the concept, design, and war-fighting capability of the light infantry division. You asked that we determine (1) what standards were used to assess the division's capability, (2) what deficiencies were identified, (3) what solutions have been proposed, (4) how the Army plans to resolve remaining deficiencies, and (5) what the implications of the evaluation results for one division are for the remaining light infantry divisions.
