Force Structure - ALO.

Abstract

USAREUR units at echelons above division are not attaining their assigned ALO due to manpower shortages. It is believed this situation exists due to deployment of new equipment to the theater and added missions without compensating manpower resources. The descriptive research method was used to identify policy, impact, alternatives and other data during the study. Data was gathered at HQDA; HQ, USAREUR; USAREUR MACOM and from other public sources/printed matter. A study of the impact of JCS planning on USAREUR ALO development, manpower management for USAREURs force and a study of Army planning for USAREURs forces was conducted. This study did not reveal any information that considerations were given to providing additional manpower to USAREUR over and above standard missions cited in authorization documents. A study of the unique USAREUR environment and the impact of new system fielding in USAREUR did reveal that a considerable portion of the command's manpower resources are consumed by these processes. The environment requires about 1.5 percent of the command's assigned personnel and new system fielding requires about 1 percent of the command's strength in the affected area (i.e., system related/specific).
