Documents the first phase of a study aimed at finding ways to ensure that warfighter needs are adequately represented as the Air Force manages its programs and budget.
The U.S. Army aims to maximize unit stability (constancy in a unit's membership over time). Yet, reserve units see less stability as mobilization and deployment approach. This book examines instability, its causes, and possible solutions.
