Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This documented briefing summarizes research supporting the Rapid Force Protection Initiative (RFPI) Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD), with the goal of exploring new technology concepts for the ACTD. The focus of this research was on advanced distributed ground sensors--specifically the air-deliverable acoustic sensor (ADAS)--with emphasis on how such sensors might fit into the current RFPI hunter/standoff killer concept. High-resolution simulation was used to examine and quantify many of the key aspects of performance, environmental effects, and military utility.

This book was released on 1996 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The days of U.S. military forces defending a known area of terrain with a large, propositioned force appear to be drawing to a close. In the future, as in the recent past, the U.S. Army will need to deploy to areas of potential or actual conflict. Furthermore, because time is often critical in overseas operations, the United States must have land forces that can deploy quickly both by air and by sea. The RFPT project at RAND concentrates on the airliftable portion of these forces in the early-entry role. RAND DB-168-A/OSD (Steeb et al., 1996) highlights this project and its recent accomplishments.

Book excerpt: The days of U.S. military forces defending a predetermined terrain with a large, prepositioned force appear to be drawing to a close. In the future, as in the recent past, the U.S. Army will need to deploy to areas of potential or actual conflict. Furthermore, because response time is often critical in overseas operations, the United States must have land forces that can deploy quickly and decisively, both by air and sea. This study concentrates on the airliftable portion of these forces in the early-entry role. In this role, light airborne forces may encounter heavy enemy forces in terrain suitable for tank maneuvers. Such situations pose a grave challenge for U.S. light forces as they are currently configured. As part of the Rapid Force Prdjection Initiative (RFPI), we examined new "technology concepts" that potentially allow light forces to fight and survive against such heavy forces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past several years, RAND has been exploring how new concepts made viable with emerging technologies can dramatically improve the effectiveness of light ground forces, particularly in the early-entry role. Motivation for this area of research is derived from studies showing that the U.S. military will need to deploy with greater speed, lethality, and survivability in the future, and that light forces will be the first deployed. Limitations of recent capability were observed during the Desert Shield build-up, where airborne ground forces such as the 82nd Division Ready Brigade (DRB) were deployed to secure key terrain without a credible anti-armor capability. 1 Such improvements to early-entry capabilities appear even more germane in light of the concomitant reductions in prepositioned forces abroad and the rapid increase in threat uncertainty. Thus, as dfticult as the early-entry challenge has been in the recent past, early signposts suggest even more difficult challenges ahead.

Book excerpt: Since the end of the Cold War, our Army has changed from a strategy of forward deployment to one of force projection. Force projection offers many new challenges in fulfilling our role as the world's preeminent land power, prepared to fight and win our nations wars and maintain full spectrum dominance. The success of our force projection strategy depends primarily on the speed with which combat power can be assembled at a given location. This paper will describe the Army's Pre-positioned Stocks (APS) strategy and assess its role in the Strategic Mobility Triad (SMT), recommend equipment changes to enhance the relevancy of APS, and assess potential new geographic storage sites that are more responsive to the full spectrum of contingencies. The Chief of Staff of the Army, General Shinseki, has determined that in order for the Army to maintain its relevance it must be able to rapidly maneuver strategically to be responsive to the nation's needs. In order to be responsive, the Army Vision calls for the capability to put combat forces (a Bde) on the ground anywhere in the world in 96 hours, a division in 120 hours, and five divisions in 30 days. The recommendations of this paper will attempt to offer a strategy that is complementary to key areas of this vision. Finally this paper will provide the reader with a better understanding of the APS and its role in the shaping and response pieces of our National Military Strategy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book “Integrated Force Projection by India” attempts to highlight the fact that a mere congregation of soldiers, sailors and airmen do not make a Regional Power. It emphasizes, without wandering on the fringes of any blustering rhetoric or puffery, that the proverbial ‘synergy’ is, in fact, ab elemental imperative for force projection and therefore merits greater integration of defence forces with various ministries for an effective, frictionless and well modulated Force Projection System for the country.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Cold War becomes a memory, the United States Army finds itself facing a monumental challenge. The Army must transition from a "forward deployed" organization to a "force projection" organization. There are many constraints to overcome during this transition. The Army has seen cutbacks in its manpower and money while simultaneously redefining its role and designing its structure to succeed in the next century. The Rapid Force Projection initiative (RFPI) is one of the programs being used to help with this transition. The Rapid Force Projection initiative is oriented on getting more firepower with less weight for the future light infantry units that must deploy from the continental United States. The High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) is one of the cornerstones of this program. This monograph examines the HIMARS to see if it is the right system for the future of long-range fires in light infantry units. This study begins with some general background information about the RFPI and the origin of the HIMARS program. The monograph then takes an in-depth look at the characteristics and capabilities of HIMARS and how they compare to other systems that already exist in the inventory. To understand the future impact of HIMARS on the battlefield a look at both present and future munitions is necessary before studying the environment that the system most likely will have to perform in. Results of past exercises on future war are analyzed to examine the effects that HIMARS or similar systems had on the simulated battlefield. This is followed with an examination of what the Field Artillery branch has stated their future artillery systems will be. The monograph concludes with an analysis based on the Tenets of Army Operations as stated in FM 100-5, Operations (Jun 93). These tenets are critical to the Army's success on the battlefield. If HIMARS does not have a positive impact on a majority of the five tenets it may not be the right system for the future.
