Biometric-based systems will become increasingly important tools for identifying known and suspected terrorists.
This report documents research on the training readiness of high-priority Army Reserve Component units participating in 1992 in the Army's training enhancement program, known as BOLD SHIFT.
The Army needs to ensure that the right people—and only the right people—can get access to its information systems, its weapons, and its many databases that serve the Army community. Biometrics may offer a solution.
The Persian Gulf War and subsequent deployments of U.S. Army forces make it clear that units from the Reserve Components (RC) will play an important part in future operations. Their specific role hinges on how quickly they can be ready for deployment.
Summarizes the efforts of Arroyo Center analysts to understand Army RC personnel readiness shortfalls, their implications, and their potential solutions.
Develop a new algorithm for calculating inventory levels in SSAs. Known as dollar cost banding (DCB), the new algorithm has produced immediate and significant gains in performance at little or no additional inventory cost.
Competition for scarce resources-both dollars and soldiers-has driven the Army to explore ways to reduce the costs and infrastructure needed to conduct military education and training.
To improve the accuracy of recruiting-resource allocation, RAND researchers Rebecca Kilburn and Jacob Klerman have updated the principal economic model of enlistment decisionmaking with data from 1992 and 1994.
This paper examines the desirability, feasibility, and risks and costs of missile defense in the context of the NATO alliance.
Biometric-based systems will become increasingly important tools for identifying known and suspected terrorists.
To help the military attract and keep high-quality personnel, Congress voted in fiscal year 2000 for significant increases in military pay.
Smart Management of R&D in the 21st Century: Strengthening the Army's Science and Technology Capabilities
The use of biometric facial recognition technology raises concerns about its potential dangers to privacy rights.
This study presents an alternative to continued reliance on close combat urban operations paradigms that require a commitment of large numbers of soldiers to urban actions.
In March 2000, RAND Arroyo Center, Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory, U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense hosted a conference on urban operations. Along with a detailed introduction by the editor, this document includes transcriptions of each presentation.
This document is a summary of a three day conference on privatizing military installation assets, operations, and services held atDitchley Park in Oxfordshire, England, on April 14-16, 2000.
The 2000 Arroyo Center annual report focuses on five prominent challenges: recruiting and retention, the rise of potential adversaries, installation structure, improving readiness, and retaining scientific and technical expertise.
