Assessing the Adequacy of the Industrial Base
Abstract
In the wake of Operations Desert Shield/Desert Storm and as a means of preparing to meet the challenges confronting it over the next 10 years, the Army chartered the Integrated Army Mobilization Study (IAMS) in January 1991 to identify the major impediments to mobilizing U.S. Forces to meet future contingencies. Facing declining procurement budgets, termination of production runs, and possible loss of critical subtier vendors, the Army was especially concerned with the adequacy of the industrial base to satisfy future warfighting materiel requirements. Accordingly, as part of the total IAMS effort, the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Logistics, and Environment asked the Deputy Chief of Staff for Logistics to sponsor a study to assess the adequacy of the industrial base to support Operation Desert Storm and similar contingencies in FY99. As the study evolved, the Army defined its desired taskings more clearly and assigned tasks to separate organizations. In all, four contracts were authorized to address distinct segments of the issue.
