The United States Army's Need for A Permanent Stability Operations Division

Abstract

With the new construct of Unified Land Operations, it is imperative the US Army adapt its force to meet the growing challenges of stability operations by creating a stability division. The US Army must approve the creation of a stability division, which is organized to meet the specific task outlined for stability operations in Unified Land Operations. The stability division will also provide an enhanced capability that meets the COCOMs requirements during phase 0. The Army's human resource management must adjust DA PAM 600-3 to reflect the new requirements and conduct a centralized board to select Individuals for the stability division. The Army must also educate the force on the task and purpose of the stability division, so leaders will know how to employ the stability division appropriately. The growing complexity of warfare requires the Army to adapt its structure in order to meet the challenges of stability operations.
