Recommendations for Future Army Analysis Efforts. Volume 2. Priorities and Key Questions for Critical Policy Issues and Recommendations for Future Analysis Efforts on Conventional Capability and Interoperability
Abstract
During 1987 the list of priority issues was updated through input from several sources, including inputs from the Chief of Staff and the CINCs, plus a number of comments from a recent Senior Army Commanders' Conference. Five broad policy issues, currently of major importance, were identified and defined as follows: 1) Conventional Capability: enhancing conventional force structure in light of INF and/or conventional arms control, including doctrine for balancing the requirements of low intensity conflict with other needs; 2) Interoperability: providing effective deterrence and warfighting capability in operations that include the other services and forces of our allies in various theaters; 3) Sustainability: measuring the ability to sustain combat forces in various theaters and levels of conflict and advising commanders of the implications of alternative operations; 4) Explaining the Army: explaining the Army's contribution to National Defense to a variety of audiences; and 5) Supporting the Soldier: providing appropriate facilities, support services and financial compensation to the soldier and his/her family to address their physical, mental and economic needs and, thus, maintain a loyal, motivated force. The central purpose of the activity described in this report was to help establish guidelines for future analysis efforts. (kr)
