Improving Functional Area 50, The Army's Force Managers (Facilitating the Management of Change at the Speed of Change)

Abstract

Army Force Management consists of several components: processes, organizations, and people. This Strategy Research Project focuses on only one of the components of Army Force Management, its people. Specifically, it analyzes current challenges facing military personnel in the Institutional Support Career Field officer specialty of Functional Area 50. It recommends ways to improve this vital component of Army Force Management and thus enhance the support it provides to the Army Transformation process. Given the extraordinary amount of change that will occur to our Army over the next twenty-five years as a result of transformation and the speed at which this change will occur, the Army must be prepared to manage that change. Officers serving in Functional Area 50 will play a key role in transforming the Army. They must prepare now to do that job well, and they must be fully supported.
