Unfolding the Future of the Long War

By: Christopher G. Pernin,Brian Nichiporuk,Dale Stahl,Justin Beck,Ricky Radaelli-Sanchez

The United States is currently engaged in a military effort that has been characterized as the "long war." This study explores the concept of long war and identifies ways in which it might unfold as well as the implications for the Army and the U.S. military more generally. This report uses the generation of either "trajectories" or alternative paths in which the long war might unfold to explore the implications for the U.S. military.

By: Rajeev Ramchand,Nicole K. Eberhart,Christopher Guo,Eric Pedersen,Terrance Dean Savitsky,Terri Tanielian,Phoenix Voorhies

To support U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) efforts to create a unified, comprehensive strategic plan for suicide prevention research, a RAND study cataloged studies funded by DoD and other entities, examined whether current research maps to DoD’s strategic research needs, and provided recommendations to encourage better alignment and narrow the research-practice gap when it comes to disseminating findings to programs serving military personnel.

Next Generation Environmental Technologies

Benefits and Barriers

By: Robert J. Lempert,Science and Technology Policy Institute (Rand Corporation)

Next Generation Environmental Technologies (NGETs) focus on the redesign of manufacturing processes and products at the molecular level, with the goal of reducing or eliminating the use of hazardous materials. The authors examine the research, development, and commercialization of NGETs-many derived from "green chemistry"-assess their benefits, and outline ways to reduce barriers to their development and implementation.

Unfolding the Future of the Long War

Motivations, Prospects, and Implications for the U.S. Army

By: Christopher G. Pernin

The United States is currently engaged in a military effort that has been characterized as the "long war." The long war has been described by some as an epic struggle against adversaries bent on forming a unified Islamic world to supplant western dominance, while others describe it more narrowly as an extension of the war on terror. But while policymakers, military leaders, and scholars have offered numerous definitions of the long war, no consensus has been reached about this term or its implications for the United States. To understand the impacts that this long war will have on the U.S. Army and on U.S. forces in general, it is necessary to understand more precisely what the long war is and how it might unfold over the coming years. To address this need, this study explores the concept of the long war and identifies potential ways in which it might unfold as well as the implications for the Army and the U.S. military more generally. This report uses the generation of either "trajectories" or alternative paths in which the long war might unfold to explore the implications for the U.S. military. The discussion focuses on the potential threats the U.S. faces in each trajectory and considers the confluence of three major problems raised by the war: those related to the ideologies espoused by key adversaries in the conflict, those related to the use of terrorism, and those related to governance (i.e., its absence or presence, its quality, and the predisposition of specific governing bodies to the United States and its interests). The goal of this report is not to determine which of these areas is the key problem. Instead, we take the stance that in order to ensure that this long war follows a favorable course, the United States will need to make a concerted effort across all three domains. Numerous broad conclusions and recommendations are given for addressing issues surrounding the long war." -- provided by publisher.

Efficiencies from Applying a Rotational Equipping Strategy

By: Christopher G. Pernin,Edward Wu,Aaron Martin,Gregory Midgette,Brendan See

To meet the demands of the past decade of conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Army has adopted a rotational strategy based on the Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN) model, but equipping policies have not yet been adapted to the model. This report analyzes how the Army might reduce equipment in early phases of the ARFORGEN cycle, how changes might be applied across Army units and equipment, and how changes might affect near- and far-term budgets.

Analysis of Alternative Approaches to Measuring Multinational Interoperability

Early Development of the Army Interoperability Measurement System (AIMS)

By: Bryan W. Hallmark,Christopher G. Pernin,Andrea M. Abler,Ryan Haberman,Sale Lilly

The National Defense Strategy (NDS) emphasizes the need for U.S. forces to be interoperable with capable allies and partners. To support the NDS, the U.S. Army develops and executes doctrine and guidelines for how its units can achieve interoperability with partners. The Army identified a need to develop an overarching concept for interoperability that includes explicit links between current Army multinational interoperability doctrine and mission command doctrine. Concurrently, it wanted an enduring and standardized way to measure levels of interoperability achieved as a result of major training events. To that end, the Army asked RAND Arroyo Center to conduct an analysis of alternatives (AoA) of interoperability measurement systems. Researchers looked at eight different approaches, gathering and analyzing data from a review of materials provided by representatives for each approach and information from multiple rounds of interviews with representatives. No single approach addressed all dimensions identified as important for a future system, so a completely new approach was proposed, drawing on strengths and eliminating weaknesses from other approaches analyzed. The Army decided to develop a new system-the Army Interoperability Measurement System (AIMS), which includes a quantitative instrument for measuring interoperability levels, a qualitative component to enable capability gap analysis, an automated approach to connect and analyze the data, and exploitation panels that convene immediately following a training exercise. The authors document their AoA, present the supporting evidence for their measurement system recommendations, and details the early development of AIMS.

The Weapons Mix Problem

A Math Model to Quantify the Effects of Internetting of Fires to the Future Force

By: Christopher G. Pernin,Louis Moore

For the Army's future force, what is the appropriate mix of weapons to provide a given outcome, and how might these weapons be employed? This research offers some initial observations into the internetting of fires (IOF) process and a foundation for understanding its relationship to combat outcome. IOF is "the ability to engage a particular target using any number of potential firers who are able to engage due to being on the network which provides targeting information." A key problem with implementing the IOF concept is to determine how to allocate fires among a collection of shooters on a network. The authors describe and demonstrate an analytic tool based on a mathematical optimization to determine that allocation. The authors also describe how the project sponsor used this tool to screen for good mixes of weapons, munitions, and sensors for the Army future force.
