Wraps. Zustand: 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.

Illustrations (tables, figures, some with color). Works Cited. This is a RAND Counterinsurgency Study--Final Report. David Charles Gompert (born October 6, 1945) is an American government official and former diplomat who served as the acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI) following the resignation of Dennis C. Blair in 2009. Prior to his ascension as DNI, he was Principal Deputy Director of National Intelligence, and continued serving in that capacity until 2011. He has worked in senior executive positions at Unisys, AT&T, and most recently as a senior fellow at RAND, a leading research organization that explores topics such as national security, terrorism, economic development, and science and technology. He was a distinguished research professor at the National Defense University's Center for Technology and National Security Policy. From 2003 to 2004, Gompert was the senior adviser for national security and defense to the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq . Examines how the United States should improve its counterinsurgency (COIN) capabilities through, for example, much greater focus on understanding jihadist strategy, using civil measures to strengthen the local government, and enabling local forces to conduct COIN operations. Provides a broad discussion of the investments, organizational changes, and multilateral arrangements that the United States should pursue to improve its COIN capabilities.
