Command Post Program Study

Abstract

With the recent reduction of US Army personnel strength based on the reduced level of hostilities in SEAsia and concurrent budgetary restrictions, additional emphasis is being given to means by which army resources both men and materiel - may be more efficiently utilized. A major objective of this effort is improvement of the command and control structure for tactical forces in the field. In 1971, USACDC conducted a preliminary investigation to determine equipment changes which could be expected to improve command and control capabilities of echelons from battalion through corps in the 1972-76 time frame. This investigation indicated that no major equipment changes would be effected during this period. As a result CDR USACDC directed that attention should be given to the current organization of tactical command posts with a view towards reducing personnel requirements and improving utilization of existing equipment.
