PREFACE
The Army asked the RAND Arroyo Center in fall 2001 to look at the implications
for the Army of the new national security strategy. This was exactly the right
question, given the remarkable changes that are occurring in the world in terms
of both advances in technologies and how the strategic environment is evolv-
ing. What we decided was to draw together a group of RAND researchers who
have been working over the past few years on a variety of issues for the Army
and use their research as a springboard for answering this question. The result
is the chapters in this volume, which span the broad range of subjects that will
be on the Army’s future agenda—strategic, operational, programmatic, and
budgetary. Each of the authors describes his or her view of the most critical
issues facing the Army and then what the Army needs to do. The substantive
analysis in this report was completed in February 2003, as the international
community was still debating its future policies toward Iraq. What happens in
Iraq will almost certainly add to the complexity of the strategic environment in
which the U.S. Army will operate and could well bring more urgency to the
changes that the authors of this report call on the Army to undertake.
Taken as a whole, the report provides the Army with a perspective on its ongo-
ing transformation and where it needs refinement. In this way, the report aims
to engage the broader defense community in the debate over which forces and
capabilities the Army needs to be able to serve the nation in the future as well as
it has in the past. The report should be of interest to anyone concerned about
the future of the U.S. military in general and the U.S. Army in particular.
In the Army, this research was sponsored by the Office of the Deputy Chief of
Staff for Operations and Plans (G-3). It was conducted in the Arroyo Center’s
Strategy, Doctrine, and Resources Program. The Arroyo Center is a federally
funded research and development center sponsored by the United States Army.
