Legislation passed by Congress in 1993 to address Army reserve component (RC) readiness problems directed the Army to provide active component support to RC units. Since that time, the Army has also taken additional steps to ensure the readiness of RC units. Based on analysis of this history and the Army’s plans for RC training requirements and training support, this report recommends further changes to support future RC training plans.

To meet increasing combatant command demands for forces, the United States Marine Corps deploys task-organized provisional units. Their temporary nature and provisional missions are at odds with the way the Marine Corps normally deploys units. A lack of specific policy to validate and manage resources used by these units causes many problems. To mitigate provisional unit equipping challenges, a multipronged approach is the best course of action.

This report describes how to evaluate the tactical, operational, and strategic impact of non-lethal weapons (NLWs), a subset of intermediate force capabilities (IFCs). It delineates the direct outputs and higher-level outcomes of NLW usage, how to measure their impact, and how they link to the strategic goals of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). This characterization provides insights into how to better integrate NLWs throughout DoD.

This report seeks to address how the U.S. Army can most effectively project and employ land power in the Indo-Pacific, during competition and conflict, with a focus on scenarios involving China. The authors developed three concepts to guide the Army's ground force role in the theater, offering the essential architecture of basing, information, relationships, and flexible combat power needed to make the joint force effective.
