Army Transformation - Assessing the Implications on Signal Organizations

Abstract

For the foreseeable future, there is simply no end in sight to the rotation of forces into and out of combat zones. Army active and reserve units at the tactical level today are either coming out of combat, refitting, or preparing to deploy. Unlike World War II and Desert Storm, there is no longer an opportunity to reorganize after the war is over. Although the Army is decisively engaged, it still must conduct an effective transformation plan that meets the goals and policies established by national strategy. In transforming the Army, we must ensure that we "get it right" or the consequences could be drastic for the soldiers on the battlefield. The purpose of this strategy research project will be to assess the impact that the Army's Transformation Plan will have on the Signal Corps organizations as the Army converts Division and Corps organizations to modular Units of Action and Units of Employment.
