Rear Area Combat Operations (RACO); Force Development.

Abstract

This project was conducted in support of the Rear Area Combat Operations (RACO) study. The study's objective was to reexamine existing doctrine for security of the Division and Corps rear area. This project developed and evaluated alternative combat forces for the new rear area concept required by the changing roles, missions, operational concepts and threats within the corps and division areas. A multi-attribute utility (MAU) analysis was used to merge several assessments of the over 137 potential force and force combination options. This paper documents the methodology and assessments used to develop those forces.
