Fiscal Year 2003 Program
Abstract
The human component of warfighting is people. The Army transformation can only be successful to the extent that the selection, training, and development of soldiers, leaders, and units are synchronized with the transformation and development of advanced systems. If the Army is to move toward a more strategically responsive, deployable, agile, versatile, lethal, survivable and sustainable Objective Force, the soldiers will have to make it happen. They operate the sophisticated vehicles and equipment, shoot the high-tech weapons, react to stress and change, and improvise when sophisticated, high-tech, networked systems fail. ARI has conducted, and will continue to conduct, the science that is necessary to ensure this human transformation. Our behavioral science research is the foundation of selecting and assigning quality people, conducting effective training and leader development, maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of training technologies and simulations, improving the integration of the Reserve and Active components of the Army into effective teams, and improving the retention of high quality, experienced people. The FY2OO3 program described in this document is a significant step toward ensuring a trained and ready Army now, and an Army that can easily adapt and embrace change as we move toward the future.
