Integrating the "TDA Army" into the "Total Army".

Abstract

To meet today's full spectrum of mission requirements, the Army must maintain a broad range of land-force capabilities to support US joint commands and coalitions around the world. In consolidating its resources, the Army has failed to recognize, understand, and integrate a major portion of the force, its Table of Distribution and Allowance (TDA) structure. Focusing primarily on the lack of management and control of TDA organizations, this paper identifies weaknesses in the current method of accounting for these units, reviews initiatives designed to improve control and accountability of these units, and provides arguments in support of centralized management of TDA structure. Highlights of Total Army Analysis 2OO% changes are used as a springboard for recommended future changes that will better integrate TDA organizations into the TOTAL Army to meet the Nation's needs in the 21st Century and beyond.
