How Effective is the Combat Service Support (CSS) Transformation Process?

Abstract

Many challenges still exist as the Army undergoes transformation. The authors of the restructuring, reorganization, and realignment process will continue to wrestle with a multitude of designs that will continually provide updates to the framework of this iterative transformational process. These significant changes to our Army force structure will truly affect the U.S. military well into the future. Because it is a work-in-process, the Army must balance the restructuring across all functional areas, at each level and by component. The Combat Service Support (CSS) structure will require further analysis to determine if flaws or shortfalls exist. If the Army reorients its efforts with a balanced approach to reorganization, the United States could avert the mend-on-the-fly method for correcting many of these future shortfalls.
