As the 21st century unfold, the dynamics of population growth,
settlement patterns, and movement across borders are certain to
have an effect on international security. Demographic shifts in
political environments that are already tense as a result of
territorial disputes, ethnic rivalries, ideological divides, or
environmental stresses may provide just enough pressure to spark a
violent conflict or perhaps even outright war.
This report presents a framework for assessing U.S. Army
International Activities (AIA). It also provides a matrix of eight
AIA "ends," derived from top-level national and Army guidance, and
eight AIA "ways," which summarize the various capabilities inherent
in AIA programs. In addition, the report describes the new online
AIA Knowledge Sharing System (AIAKSS) that is being used to solicit
programmatic and assessment data from AIA officials in the Army's
Major Commands.
Creates six alternative future worlds for the 2025 timeframe and
draws out the implications of those worlds for U.S. Army force
size, structure, and design. What should the U.S. Army look like in
20 years? Using the tool of alternative futures analysis, this
study attempts to help the Army with force planning for the 2025
era. It lays out a spectrum of different Ofuture worldsO to
illustrate the complete universe of future missions. Analyzing
possible trends across five key areas (geopolitics, economics,
demographics, technology, and environment), the study defines six
alternative futures and postulates an appropriate OArmy typeO for
each one.
How does the Army plan to ensure its continued access to potential
trouble spots around the world? The authors developed scenarios and
conducted political-military games to determine what strategies,
tactics, and capabilities potential adversaries might use to
complicate U.S. access to key areas and how effective the U.S.
counters to these tactics are. They were sanguine about the ability
of the U.S. to prevail in the short-term but also identified
several conc erns and suggested areas of improvement, including
expanding the number of in-theater bases that might be available;
enhancing the flexibility and deployability of U.S. forces to more
austere bases; and upgrading detection, warning, and force
protection measures.
