Download or read book Is the Stryker Brigade Combat Team a Viable Concept written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army of tomorrow must be more deployable and capable of meeting future threats across the full spectrum of war. Essential to this transformation is the Army's new Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT). This thesis examines the SBCTs role in Army transformation and how the senior leadership believes that it bridges the existing capabilities gap between the light infantry and mechanized infantry forces while serving as an interim solution as the Army continues onward to the Objective Force. In analyzing the research question, this thesis will evaluate both the pros and cons of the SBCT utilizing the criteria of deployability, survivability, lethality, and mobility. The criteria of deployability is evaluated against a mechanized infantry brigade combat team and the criteria of survivability, lethality, and mobility is evaluated against a light infantry brigade combat team. Both comparisons will prove if the concept is viable or not as designed by the operational and organization concept of the unit.

Download or read book Network centric Operations Case Study written by Daniel Gonzales and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2005 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The authors of this report seek to understand how network-centric operations (NCO) capabilities are a source of combat power for the Army's Stryker brigade and to determine the extent to which the tenets of NCO are realized by the unit. Using a broad range of measures of effectiveness, the authors compared the performance of a Stryker brigade with that of a nondigitized light infantry brigade in certification exercises at the Joint Readiness Training Center and found that the Stryker brigade's superior networking capabilities, superior shared situational awareness, speed of command, and ability to control the speed of command vastly improved the brigade's performance in these exercises. Using NCO measures of effectiveness, this analysis sheds light on the NCO capabilities that made the Stryker brigade a more agile and effective combat force. The authors conclude by discussing the potential implications of future NCO capabilities for future Army forces."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book The Stryker Brigade Combat Team written by Alan J. Vick and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2002-12-24 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines alternative means to decrease the deployment time for the new Army medium-weight brigade, comparing air and sealift from the United States with air and fast (but short-range) sealift from forward bases or preposition sites. Historical experience and an assessment of U.S. regional interests are used to determine how much warning time the United States typically has before major force deployments and where it is most likely to deploy such forces
Download or read book Applying a Multi skilled Soldier MSS Concept to the Stryker Brigade Combat Team SBCT written by John T. Nelsen and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The general purpose of this study was to deepen and broaden thinking about the nature and implications of possible Multi-Skilied Soldier (MSS) Concept implementation. Specific objectives were (1) to determine applicability of the MSS to the Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT), as it might be implemented in Initial Entry Training (IET) and (2) to prototype MSS Concept implementation for the SBCT, considering possible implementation for the Future Force. The report also defines the MSS; shows how the MSS Concept might fit conceptually within a larger Army training, education, and professional development model for Soldiers of all ranks; offers an MSS Program design for IET; and crafts actionable recommendations regarding general MSS implementation for IET. The study concludes that the MSS Concept is fully applicable to the SBCT, as well as the so-called Current Force. It also concludes that MSS implementation would have a significant salutary effect on unit training readiness postures across the force. This study relied heavily on insights and analysis gained from interviews with groups of senior NCOs and officers within the 3rd Brigade (SBCT), 2nd Infantry Division, Ft. Lewis, WA, during September 2002.

Download or read book The Other End of the Spear written by John J. Mcgrath and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-09-16 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at several troop categories based on primary function and analyzes the ratio between these categories to develop a general historical ratio. This ratio is called the Tooth-to-Tail Ratio. McGrath's study finds that this ratio, among types of deployed US forces, has steadily declined since World War II, just as the nature of warfare itself has changed. At the same time, the percentage of deployed forces devoted to logistics functions and to base and life support functions have increased, especially with the advent of the large-scale of use of civilian contractors. This work provides a unique analysis of the size and composition of military forces as found in historical patterns. Extensively illustrated with charts, diagrams, and tables.
