¶ … Army Force Generation Model
In order for the armed forces to fight effectively, they need to be manned, equipped, and trained properly. The proposed changes would have an impact on all three areas, and this might result in an armed force that is not prepared to fight effectively. The reduction in budget will definitely require there be changes in the structuring of the armed forces. Reduction in manpower will be inevitable, and this would lead to few soldiers being sent to the battleground. Equipment shortages would also occur since there will be a reduction in funding and only utterly necessary equipment would be serviced or purchased. Training is the area that will be highly impacted. This is because there will be few man-hours for the soldiers to train and prepare for any eventuality. The most modern equipment will require highly trained personnel to man and operate it. The shortage of enough training hours will result in the soldiers being less prepared and less knowledgeable on the equipment they have to use in battle. With the budget cuts, there is need to maintain an appropriate balance between these three dimensions and this would be quite difficult to do. According to Gen. Odierno time and time...
Military has been faced with reduced soldiers, and this has had a negative effect on the effectiveness of the armed forces.1 The future is always uncertain, and the lack of preparedness will result in an Army that is not able to meet the national security needs.
The proposed changes are not sufficient to provide the required manned, equipped, and trained Army forces as required in order to sustain the national security needs of the country. Restructuring the Army to a smaller force will mean there are fewer Soldiers to be deployed to

missions and this will result in the country relying heavily on Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) for it to achieve its security needs. The few Armed forces deployed will have a hard time trying to achieve their objective, and they might have less equipment to work with in the difficult terrain or area deployed. Training is a huge requirement for the Armed…

Force Management Challenge -- Army Force Management Challenge - Army Change management in the short-term is a substantive challenge of any organization. When change management extends far into the future, the challenges increase exponentially. To establish and field a mission-ready force, the Army must shape the force of the future. For the Army to be prepared for an inchoate future, change management theory and force management practice must coalesce into a sustainable,
The United States Army has a history of instilling and enforcing discipline within its ranks. However, with every passing year come changes in the way society thinks and acts. New social values are created and fostered, and leaders in the U.S. Army must address these changes in order to maintain continuity of standards and discipline from one generation to the next (Wardynski). Thus, as the new generation of soldiers enters

Army has been modernizing its logistics function for the past half century, and a wide range of legacy systems remain in place. For example, logistics automation systems, collectively termed the Standard Army Management Information Systems (STAMIS) have been deployed by the combat service support community to provide improved logistics support to warfighters. Although these systems have proven valuable to warfighters in the field, supporting these legacy systems has become a
Cultural Differences in Army Officers Every society is different from the other and arranges itself under some certain value and belief system. This belief system is the basic identity of any society or a group of people and is very central in developing them as human beings. More importantly, it plays a significant role in developing the way these members of a society behave and how they interact with each other.
