ESSAY INSTRUCTIONS” for specific paper details and requirements that must be followed.
The United States Army went through changes in organizing its forces and generating new equipment/weaponry after Vietnam that allowed success during Desert Storm (Gulf War). Identify a historical capability gap (e.g., light infantry forces and how they would maneuver and face enemy forces in the future) from that time frame and recommend a capability gap solution (e.g., Bradley Fighting Vehicle) using the Army Force Management Model and apply it to this capability gap addressing organizational and material change.
Introduction of Essay: The essay should start with a comparative analysis of what occurred in this historical time frame between Vietnam and Desert Storm with regards to Force Management and Force Integration processes and compare it to Force Management and Force Integration processes used today. Then, compare the Army Force Management Model concepts and processes used today to what was used in the past during the same time frame. Introduction should answer the following:
1. What is the“so what”of the differences?
2. How would things be different today?
3. What would or would not have changed with what occurred in the ast,or,what
would today’s process do to preclude or create issues?
Outline of Essay: The essay must be constructed and demonstrate how the Army Force Management Model process addresses the below questions for the capability gap chosen for the historical timeframe from the Vietnam War to the Desert Storm War. Make sure to use the Army Force Management Model diagram as a guide to walk the recommended capability gap solution through each phase of the model. The below listed questions are given to assist in formulating the organization of the essay.
1. What created the capability gap? (Determine Strategic & Operational Requirements)
2. Why are the chosen solution(s )the correct solutions?(Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) process (Develop Required Capabilities/DOTMLPF-P Solutions; Capabilities Based Assessment (CBA)); Acquire Material Solutions (Defense Acquisition System (DAS)); Assigned Mission Equipment (AME); Force Development (FD) process (Design Organizations, Develop Organizational Models, Determine Authorizations, and Document Organizational Authorizations).
3. How are the effects,or risks,of the solution managed,or mitigated,through the Army Force Management Process?
(Force Development (FD) process (Design Organizations, Develop Organizational Models, Determine Authorizations, and Document Organizational Authorizations); Force Integration (FI) process (Acquire, Train, and Distribute Personnel and Acquire, Distribute, Sustain, and Dispose Material); Acquire Material Solutions (Defense Acquisition System (DAS))
4. How is prioritization determined and implemented?
(Planning,Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) system process; (Joint Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) process (Develop Required Capabilities/DOTMLPF-P Solutions; Capabilities Based Assessment (CBA)); Strategic Requirements)
5. How is the solution officially codified and integrated into the force?
(Force Development (FD) process (Design Organizations, Develop Organizational Models, Determine Authorizations, and Document Organizational Authorizations); Force Integration (FI) process (Acquire, Train, and Distribute Personnel and Acquire, Distribute, Sustain, and Dispose Material)
