Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every commander, soldier, and unit in a force-projection Army must be trained and ready to deploy. All concerned share this solemn responsibility. Commanders must remember that their primary mission is always to prepare for, fight, and win America's wars. This rigorous task requires nothing less than the highest priority when training and equipping the forces. FM 100-5, Operations, along with other Army doctrine and Joint doctrine document the criticality of preparedness. However, both sets of doctrine also define another commitment, a "non-lethal" operation called Operations Other Than War (OOTW)'. As we continue to deploy on these "other" operations, we must continually assess their impact on the primary mission. This study describes some OOTW impacts on training readiness through interviews with those who have served in OOTWs. This study is based on the results of a survey distributed to the US Army War College students from the l997 and 1998 year groups. The study identifies a widespread and significant "cost" of OOTW in training readiness with recovery time ranging from 7l/2 weeks to 13 weeks. However, the survey also describes a changing Army. Doctrine may be changing from below through the initiative of unit commanders and their training plans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under a National Security Strategy of Engagement and Enlargement, the U.S. Army is likely to deploy more frequently in Operations Other Than War (OOTW) while the post Cold War drawdown enters its final phases. This study explores the impacts of OOTW on the training readiness of these units to conduct combat operations. It is based on a survey instrument distributed to students and faculty members of the U.S. Army War College. The unique density of War College students with OOTW experience in leadership positions provides a fertile basis to explore both benefits and costs associated with OOTW. Respondents answered questions in three distinct categories: (1) predeployment training readiness; (2) training readiness during OOTW, and (3) post deployment training readiness. The core findings of this project are that there are significant, but largely predictable, costs associated with OOTW; that units recovering from OOTW are frequently not afforded adequate time for recovery; and that standard reporting and evaluation means are frequently not used to identify, track and resolve training readiness shortfalls. Resulting pockets of unreadiness are thus more likely to occur as frequency of OOTW deployments increases and force structure and other resources decrease. Specific recommendations are offered to mitigate many of these negative impacts so that such pockets of unreadiness can be prevented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report is a research byproduct that documents the Front End Analysis for development of the Brigade-Battle Staff Training System (BDE-BSTS). BDE-BSTS, a set of functional area training packages for brigade level staff officers, is a combination of text and computer based instruction (CBI). Sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the BDE-BSTS was developed for use by the U.S. Army National Guard (ARNG). The prototype BSTS comprised 13 courses for training brigade staff officers in individual functional areas and those tasks required to prepare staffs for collective battle staff tasks. The BSTS program, sponsored under the DARPA program umbrella of Simulation in Training for Advanced Readiness (SIMITAR), is coordinated with three other programs: Simulation Based Mounted Brigade Training Program (SIMBART), Simulation Based Multiechelon Training for Armor Units (SlMTA), and Combat Service Support (CSS) Training System Development for the National Guard."--DTIC.

Book excerpt: In the Post Cold War period training devices are becoming even more critical to the sustainment training of deployed U.S. combat forces. To meet the objectives of the National Security Strategy of Engagement and Enlargement, the U.S. Army is deploying combat forces to engage in peacetime activities, such as Military Operations other Than War (MOOTW). The Army's ground combat forces, even while engaged in MOOTW activities, must maintain proficiency to wage war in the event that peacetime engagement, deterrence and conflict prevention fail. While the Cold War focus was upon one enemy, our combat forces must now be trained for a variety of contingencies. Complicating training readiness is a shrinking defense budget and a downsized combat force that is being deployed with increasing frequency. This study addresses the efficiency and effectiveness of training devices for the sustainment training of critical combat skills of deployed combat forces. Data from the Army's recent experience in Bosnia, Operation Joint Endeavor, are highlighted. Recommendations concerning future acquisition of training devices for deployed forces are also presented.

Download or read book Meeting Peace Operations' Requirements While Maintaining MTW Readiness written by Jennifer M. Taw and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 1998 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peace operations (POs) are arguably the military operations other than war most likely to stress the U.S. Army's ability to maintain combat readiness. POs require: a higher ratio of combat support/combat service support units and special operations forces relative to combat arms units than do major theater wars (MTWs); smaller, more tailored deployments; training for some new tasks and, more important, for a more restrictive and sensitive operational environment; and readier access to--and more of--some kinds of equipment (such as crowd and riot-control gear, nonlethal weapons, and vehicles). At a time when the Army is shrinking, changing its posture, and participating in a rising number of both exercises and operational deployments, its challenge is to both maintain MTW readiness (its primary mission) and meet the very different requirements of POs. As long as MTWs remain the national priority--and thus the Army's--the Army can make some marginal changes to force structure, training, and doctrine that will help improve PO performance while also mitigating the effects of PO deployments on MTW readiness. If POs become a higher priority, and resources remain constrained, the Army will have to trade off some MTW capabilities to better meet PO requirements. These challenges must also be viewed in light of existing Army problems (such as maintaining units at levels below normal strength and overestimating the readiness of the reserve component), which transcend POs but are severely exacerbated by PO deployments.

Book excerpt: With the decline of the Soviet Union, the United States Army has become engaged in a multitude of operations that are different and more complex in nature from those of the Cold War. While still needing to train for full scale conventional war, the Army has the additional mission of OOTW. Since 1990, the Army has conducted 27 deployments within the peace and conflict spectrums. Can the U.S. Army continue to perform numerous OOTW missions and maintain a level of combat readiness that ensures it is capable of winning the nation's wars? This monograph examines the effects of OOTW missions on the readiness of U.S. Army forces. Section 1 discusses the emerging role of the U.S. military during the Post Cold War era. The basis for this discussion is the reemergence of the United Nations in promoting stability and security in the present international environment and its influence on the United States to achieve this goal. Additionally this section examines the United States National Security Strategy and National Military Strategy to understand the future implications of both policies for the military. Section II focuses on recent U.S. Army OOTW historical experience in order to develop criteria for evaluating the effects of OOTW on the combat readiness of Army forces. Section III takes the criteria developed in the previous section and evaluates the effects of OOTW missions on U.S. Army forces and their ability to recover to a combat ready status. Section IV synthesizes the analysis from the previous sections and provides conclusions and recommendations on reducing the effects of OOTW on the readiness of active Army forces. Conclusions from this study indicate the United States Army's combat readiness is adversely affected by the increased number of OOTW missions in the Post Cold War era. This monograph proposes recommendations that would lessen the degrading effects of OOTW missions on the readiness of U.S. Army active forces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The President, Secretary of Defense, and the Army's Chief of Staff have all stated that the United States is a "Nation at War." The U.S. military faces significant strategic challenges as it continues to transform the force and improve interagency integration into joint operations, all the while engaging in active combat operations associated with the Global War on Terrorism. This collection of outstanding essays--three of which won prestigious writing awards--by the students enrolled in the Army War College's Advanced Strategic Art Program (ASAP) highlight some of these strategic challenges and offer thoughtful solutions. They provide insights that will undoubtedly prove useful to decisionmakers at the highest levels of our national security establishment. ASAP graduates continue to make their mark as outstanding theater strategists in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Staff and Army Staff, and in the Combatant Commands

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the human factors issues associated with the development, testing, and implementation of helmet-mounted display technology in the 21st Century Land Warrior System. Because the framework of analysis is soldier performance with the system in the full range of environments and missions, the book discusses both the military context and the characteristics of the infantry soldiers who will use the system. The major issues covered include the positive and negative effects of such a display on the local and global situation awareness of the individual soldier, an analysis of the visual and psychomotor factors associated with each design feature, design considerations for auditory displays, and physical sources of stress and the implications of the display for affecting the soldier's workload. The book proposes an innovative approach to research and testing based on a three-stage strategy that begins in the laboratory, moves to controlled field studies, and culminates in operational testing.
