Toward an Expeditionary Army: New Options for Combatant Commanders

Abstract

Statement of Eric Peltz, before the Committee on Armed Services U.S. House of Representatives March 24, 2004. Mr. Chairman and members of the subcommittee, I would like to thank you and the committee for inviting us to testify today on Army prepositioning. RAND's Arroyo Center is the Army's Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) for studies and policy analyses. Over the last few years, the RAND Arroyo Center has provided research on concepts for transforming the capabilities the Army offers the joint force for prompt power projection. Within this research, we have examined how prepositioning might be leveraged as part of a three-pronged strategy for improving the strategic responsiveness of our nation's ground forces. I appreciate the opportunity to take part in this dialog today.
