PREFACE
This report examines how the U.S. Army could improve its ability to
enhance strategic responsiveness of U.S. armed forces with respect
to prompt power projection. It first analyzes options, given existing
technology, for improving the deployment time of Army units. Then
it examines how the Army might improve its ability to facilitate the
rapid-deployment initiation of joint, mission-tailored packages of
capabilities. In essence, there are two problems: initiating deploy-
ment of the right force capabilities and then getting these capabilities
where they need to be as quickly as possible.
The research has been conducted for a project titled “Combat Service
Support (CSS) Transformation,” which is intended to provide
analytic support to the Army’s CSS transformation effort. This
research should be of interest to logisticians, materiel developers,
combat developers, and operations personnel throughout the Army,
U.S. Transportation Command personnel, and the Army’s and the
Department of Defense’s senior leadership. This project is spon-
sored by the Army’s Deputy Chief of Staff, G-4, and it was carried out
in the Military Logistics Program of RAND Arroyo Center, a federally
funded research and development center sponsored by the United
States Army.
