- W1484540274 abstract "THE ARMY HAS a history of attacking with a vengeance each challenge it faces--and conquering it. In nearly every major Army function, the Army identifies critical needs and then either develops in-house solutions or leverages the power of the Nation's military industrial complex to apply state-of-the-art technologies to meet these needs. During the 20th century, Army systems, such as weapons, communications, and logistics, among others, advanced by quantum leaps. The Army has worked hard to improve its capabilities through technological innovation and has been profoundly successful in all areas--save one. The Army's Achilles' Heel The Army's glaring shortfall has been in the human resource area--the manning of its units. During the last 100 years, with varying degrees of resolve and resources, the Army has many times sought to transition from an individual replacement system to some type of unit manning system. The aim was to improve unit cohesion and combat readiness; however, all attempts failed, and the Army returned each time to an individual replacement system. The replacement system's shortcomings have become a ball and chain around the Army's neck; this primitive manning system hinders Army Transformation. With the Army is set to cast off the ball and chain and completely transform how it mans units. This new manning initiative, developed by Chief of Staff of the Army General Peter J. Schoomaker's Task Force (TF) Stabilization, will propel the Army through Transformation while addressing the shortcomings that led to the many previously failed attempts to implement it. Force stabilization might not be the Holy Grail of Army human resources planning, but it could be the solution to the Army's manning problems. To the question, can stabilization work? Naysayers reply emphatically, No! Often without having seen or read an implementation plan. They say stabilization has never worked in the past, and ask why ew should expect a different outcome now? Are the Army's TF Stabilization members any smarter than those who tried unit manning before, and failed? Many reasons exist for previous unit manning failures. Although some attempts were well thought out, or had the necessary resources and environments for success, or were fully supported by senior leaders, none had all these ingredients at the same time. But stabilization is different. The Army developed it with clear guidance from Schoomaker to use fresh thinking to seek innovative solutions and crack the most hardened and encrusted of Army traditions--how we man our units. The mandate was no longer the ambiguous imperative, increase cohesion. Schoomaker wanted to combine the benefits of cohesion with unit readiness, stability, predictability, and continuity during deployments. He encouraged the Army to expand the number of desired outcomes, opening the door to a larger optimization problem requiring a new array of solutions. Rather than trying to a square peg into a round hole and seeking solutions when one or more critical elements were missing, TF Stabilization developed a plan that aligned these elements to produce new outcomes. Force Stabilization Reborn Under former Secretary of the Army Thomas White, the concept of unit manning was reborn--with a fervor seldom seen in Armywide initiatives. Schoomaker renamed unit manning, calling it force stabilization, and made it one of his focus areas and top priorities for execution. White and Schoomaker recognized the debilitating effects of turbulence on unit combat readiness and capabilities, and Schoomaker quickly attacked the problem. He stood up TF Stabilization at Fort Monroe, Virginia, in September 2003, and for 7 weeks the task focused its energy on developing a plan based on the results from a thorough review of past efforts. A cross-section of combat arms, combat support, and combat service support officers and noncommissioned officers kept one goal in mind: providing more combat-ready, deployable, and capable units to combatant commanders. …" @default.
