Annual Report 2011 (RAND Arroyo Center)
Abstract
It is RAND Arroyo Center's mission to provide the high-quality, objective analyses that will help the U.S. Army meet these challenges smartly and successfully. Arroyo's Strategy, Doctrine, and Resources Program is characterizing potential future challenges--including the prospects for conflict with China--and identifying the capabilities needed to defeat hybrid adversaries. In addition, the program is looking at ways to make the Army more effective and efficient--example, by analyzing the Active Component/ Reserve Component mix and the Generating Force. Arroyo's Manpower and Training Program is exploring effective and efficient ways to shape the Soldiers and leaders of the future force, while improving their training, well-being, and deployability. At the same time, the program is studying how to best employ the Army's civilian workforce. Arroyo's Force Development and Technology Program evaluates new operational concepts and technologies. Examples include new concepts for cyber operations and for countering enemy anti-access and area-denial threats. The program also seeks optimal ways to equip the force given alternative readiness strategies, and it evaluates new technologies--such as those that enhance the effectiveness of tactical small units. The Military Logistics Program's work focuses on increasing the efficiency of the Army's logistics enterprise. Projects are under way to review dormant inventory and eliminate excess; improve the Armys end-to-end supply chain; find potential savings in equipment support costs; and balance logistics support provided by contractors with work performed at the Army's own depots.
