The research reported in this monograph focused on answering a rather straightforward, but thus far largely unanswered, question: What can the U.S. military learn from other militaries about how better to prepare for full-spectrum operations and deployments? To this end, RAND was asked by the OSD for Personnel and Readiness to examine the militaries of China, France, the UK, India, and Israel."--P. xiii.Rand Corporation monograph series.Military planningOperational readiness (Military science)SoldiersTraining ofMilitary planning.Operational readiness (Military science)SoldiersTraining of.355.6/84Johnson David E(David Eugene),1950-863709United States.Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Personnel and Readiness).Rand Corporation.National Defense Research Institute (U.S.)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910220098703321Preparing and training for the full spectrum of military challenges2180667UNINA
