Best Practices For Army Management of Lower-Priority Capabilities

Abstract

Despite having the largest military budget in the world, the financial resources of the United States (US) military are not unlimited. Despite these fiscal constraints, requirements the Army possesses seem to have no bounds. This imbalance of requirements and resources presents the Army with difficult decisions on how to prioritize resources against the most critical requirements, often leaving lower-priority capabilities without sufficient resources. The effects of this are evidenced by the Army's decreased ability to execute conventional warfare against current near-pear threats. By researching best practices, a design, process, or framework may emerge that Army Senior Leaders can use to improve management of lower-priority systems and the overall capability of the Army.
