The federal government response to Hurricane Katrina demonstrated a vital need for the military to improve the process for assessment, response, and decision-making for all organizations involved. Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) is an emerging...
F-16 aircraft maintenance metrics and F-16 unit mishaps are examined in an effort to determine if there is a correlation between the two sets of data. Using active duty units from 2000-2008, nine common U.S. Air Force maintenance metrics of similar...
The Joint Staff published Joint Vision documents in 1996 and 2000 to provide the joint conceptual framework for the transformation effort. The United States Army embarked upon its own transformation towards its Objective Force in conjunction with...
This monograph conducts an analysis of historical data to detect trends in war and the evolution to modern tactical battle. It also investigates the continued use of Lanchester-based attrition models. Military analysts have used the attrition...
The United States Army Reserve (USAR) provides forces critical to the success of the Regular Army and to support national military strategy as an operational force. The USAR continues to confront issues associated with a volunteer force serving in...
This monograph addresses the impact of the Army Tactical Command and Control System (ATCCS) at the brigade level of command. The study is significant due to the changing role of the brigade in Airland Battle doctrine and the impact of new command...
Since the development of Industrial Age armies, the battlefield has increased in complexity and uncertainty. This is the result of tactical units dispersing on the battlefield for protection from increased weapon lethality and the need to sustain...
This project develops an algorithm modeling part of the squadron scheduling function. The thesis includes a description of the scheduling function, brief descriptions of some work previously published on computer aids to scheduling, and describes...
As an enabler to the most dominant land force in the world, engineers allow maneuver forces to close with and destroy the enemy. The concept of assured mobility uses a framework to increase situational understanding and results in a greater freedom...
The primary purpose of this catalog is to inform commanders of Active Army
and Reserve component corps artilleries, divisions, division artilleries, field
artillery brigades and battalions, FA AIT brigades, and maneuver training
commands and area...
This ARTEP mission training plan (ARTEP) is designed to provide the unit commander with a tactical training and evaluation program. It provides specific guidance on how to train at each echelon at the unit. The details of
your training program will...
Commanders always require a large amount of data in order to maintain situational awareness, a very complicated endeavor especially during deployments in Iraq or Afghanistan with subordinate units spread across the country. The Battle Command...
Force XXI technology changes the war-fighting doctrine of the US Army. The new digital technology combined with changes in the design of the force structure created a new mechanized infantry or armor division. This division, called Division XXI,...
Civil Information Management Systems (CIMS) are emerging as a resource which allows commanders to build a Common Operational Picture (COP) upon which to base their operational planning and execution. Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) are a type...
Given that the Defense Communications System (DCS) plans to convert from analog to digital transmission, the paper examines that decision in an attempt to determine major problem areas and topics worthy of further study. The DCS history,...
This publication provides data for the Characteristics of Transportation Resources (CHSTR) file, which is a Joint Operation Planning and Execution System (JOPES) reference file.
Today's operational environment consists of uncertainty, chance, friction, and complexity. Change and adaptation that once required years to implement must now be recognized, communicated, and enacted far more quickly. To effectively respond to the...
Statistics on activities of the War Department in the fields of construction and real estate leases, maintenance, and disposal during World War II are presented in this document. Topics discussed include construction, real estate leases, surplus...
Dependence on technological superiority should prompt many questions. What if the Army cannot use the Global Positioning System (GPS) data or it is degraded? Are the troops trained to operate when GPS systems are degraded? What about the precision...

The concept of a systems approach to training is based on an overall view of the
training process and by the ability to respond to identified needs. The SAT process includes five phases: Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation.
