Sommario/riassunto |
|
Describes the effects of deployments on the Army's ability to provide forces for other contingencies, to ensure that soldiers are trained, and to continue to recruit and retain soldiers. The authors found that Army plans for transformation and employing reserves fall short. Unless requirements recede, the nation faces an Army stretched thin. |
