Book First Edition
Wraps. Condition: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. xi, [1], 51, [1] pages. Illustrations. Bibliography. This documented briefing presents results from a RAND Arroyo Center research effort on how alternative futures could influence long-term Army modernization plans. Having developed several plausible alternative futures (looking out roughly 25 years), the authors describe each one's possible implications for the Army's likely missions and the forces required for those missions, discussing the impact on Army modernization plans. The futures range from a relatively peaceful world to a dangerous, chaotic world. The creation of medium forces was a good long-range strategy for the Army, since those forces appeared to be relevant in many of the possible futures. Traditional heavy forces were found to be useful in a limited number of the possible futures. Army aviation could need to shift the balance from attack-type aviation to transport aircraft. Increased C4ISR seemed to be very important. In some futures, there would be a need for unconventional operations in urban areas. The research was part of a larger project conducted for the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-3, U.S. Army, dealing with future force issues. The then current Army Transformation Plan was estimated to take decades to implement. John Gordon IV joined RAND in 1997 after a 20-year U.S. Army career and has since participated in and led numerous studies for the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Departments of the Army and Navy. Gordon has authored or coauthored several RAND studies on counterinsurgency and irregular warfare. He has led or participated in RAND research projects for the governments of the United Kingdom, Sweden, Italy, and Germany. Gordon is also an adjunct faculty member at Georgetown and George Mason universities, where he teaches graduate-level courses on counterinsurgency and military operations. Gordon received his Ph.D. in public policy from George Mason University. Brian Nichiporuk is a senior political scientist at RAND.
