Army Combat Potential FY 1962-FY 2000

Abstract

This paper presents Army combat battalions from end FY 1962 to end FY 2OOO as recorded in the Forces File of the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP). The aggregate number of combat battalions is used to represent the combat potential of the Army, and that measure is compared with total Army military and civilian personnel strength to provide a measure of the Army's efficiency. The results of this analysis indicate that the Army has become more efficient in producing and supporting combat battalions over the 39-year period of investigation.
