CARS '75: Permanent Headquarters for the Combat Arms Regimental System
Abstract
The basic question addressed is whether headquarters for the 170 regiments in the US Army's Combat Arms Regimental System (CARS) should be established to assume their traditional responsibilities as heads of the regimental families. Since CARS's implementation in 1957, these headquarters have been at zero strength under DA control--essentially they do not exist. The circumstances and events which have kept this aspect of the system dormant are reviewed and a solution that utilizes retired personnel and non-appropriated funds to circumvent long-standing fiscal and manpower barriers to such headquarters is proposed.
