The United States Army has invested millions of dollars and countless man hours in information technology. This investment in technology is a result of digital capabilities unimagined several years ago. It stands to reason, if better information is...
The purpose of this monograph is to examine information flow and problems at battalion and brigade levels and how it effects battle command. The primary research question is: Will the digitization of the battlefield and the resultant information...
This monograph examines the feasibility of logistically supporting a heavy division-sized force conducting deep maneuver. Historically, deep maneuver forces have performed such missions as raids to cut enemy supply lines and command and control...
The study determines if modifications to the estimate of the situation occur as a result of implementing the Maneuver Control System/Phoenix and the All Source Analysis System Remote Workstation, during the Military Decision Making Process. In...
This monograph investigates the results of task force level maneuver exercises conducted with equipment projected for Force XXI fielding. Specifically, the monograph seeks to answer the question of whether digital equipment improves the ability of...
This monograph discusses how the U.S. Army and Army tactical military intelligence branch could utilize a distributed analysis and control element (ACE) to support the commander’s operational picture (COP) and situational understanding. Recent...
This monograph examines the ability of current and future heavy brigades to conduct effective deep operations. Current doctrine states that heavy brigades conduct deep operations as part of the overall battlefield framework. Heavy brigades have...
The Joint Staff published Joint Vision documents in 1996 and 2000 to provide the joint conceptual framework for the transformation effort. The United States Army embarked upon its own transformation towards its Objective Force in conjunction with...
As the Chief of Staff of the Army approves the implementation of the redesign of the Army Of Excellence (AOE) into the Conventional Heavy Division Redesign (CHDR) or, better known as, the Force XXI (FXXI) Division, the ramifications to the tactical...
