Infantry/Armor Officers - Does Our Force Structure Give Us The Desired Mix?

Abstract

The purpose of the paper was to examine the officer force structure and question whether we have the appropriate mix of armor and infantry officers in the Army; and the impact of this on career progression within the two branches; and finally, what the Army can do or should be doing. In line with the conclusions the author makes, there are short-term and long-range recommendations - the recommendations are designed to provide greater equity in career management goals and actions for the two branches, and the author believes should bring about greater equity in force management.
