The Effects of Multiple Constraints on the Army's Force Structure Documentation Process

Abstract

The System presently used by the army to document personnel force structure is heavily constrained and these constraints may effect the overall ability to produce a document that truly coincides with the desires of the prioritizer of the Army, the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations (DCSOPS). This study involves defining, reviewing the history, and assessing the applicability and necessity of some of the major constraints imposed by directive, law, policy, doctrine, or guidance on Army Force Structure documentation. The intent is to show many of the difficulties encountered by the plans division of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel (DCSPER) in the attempt to balance these constraints while properly aligning the Army's End Strength (ES).
