The Army Plan (FY00-15), Final Coordination Draft, 16 January 1998
Abstract
The Army's strategic planning horizon extends to the year 2025. The Army Plan (TAP) FY00-15 focuses primarily on the program years (FY00-05 plus ten years. TAP presents comprehensive and cohesive strategic, mid-term planning, and programming guidance that addresses the Army's enduring core competency over this sixteen year time period. The document identifies trends and sources of conflicts such as demographics (aging population), geopolitics (states loosely aligned) and the environment (loss of natural resources). It highlights the Army After Next's report that the forces of the future have to be physically fit, emotionally resilient and mentally prepared. The document sets the direction and provides a focused and consistent theme for developing the Army's program and budget. This TAP starts with the strategic core competency (that is, ends) and translates it into capabilities (that is ways for accomplishing the ends), which ultimately produce the program and budget (that is, means). The approach provides a coherent context for explaining and defending the Army's programs and budgets. Explaining the Army's budget effectively is essential to obtaining appropriations and authorizations that provide the means to move along the azimuth to the future.
