Total Army Analysis Supporting Maximization of National Resources

Abstract

This Strategic Research Paper (SRP) examines the Total Army Analysis (TAA) process and provides senior Army leaders with recommendations to consider for improving the process. In pursuit of this outcome, the research effort begins with a historical analysis of Army force management processes beginning in the aftermath of World War II through current operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. This assessment provides an examination of the TAA process, to include associated risks, and their relationship to the future strategic environment. This analysis is important in identifying and eliminating redundancies between the Army and joint interagency, intergovernmental and multinational (JIIM) partners. The desired end state of this research effort is to assist Army senior leaders in improving long-term resource decisionmaking, using a holistic DoD capabilities assessment based approach to maximize national resources, thereby ensuring the Army meets its Title 10 responsibilities of supporting joint war fighting requirements.
