Force Structure: Army Support Forces Can Meet Two-Conflict Strategy With Some Risks

by Carol R. Schuster

Reports how the Army determines its support force requirements, & the results of its most recent process for allocating support forces, known as Total Army Analysis 2003. It also discusses the Armys progress to streamline its infrastructure or institutional force structure. Reviews the extent to which the Armys process for assessing its active & reserve support forces resulted in sufficient support force structure to meet the requirement of the two-MRC scenario; whether Army streamlining initiatives have identified opportunities to reduce personnel resources devoted to institutional functions; & the feasibility of reducing Army strength.
