Abstract:

The strategic environment in which the United States military operates has experienced dramatic changes over the last decade and faces even greater changes in the next. This has lead to much discussion of a Revolution in Military Affairs RMA. One question that arises in that discussion is whether or not the military is properly organized to meet these future challenges. This paper reviews the military organization contextual dimensions projected by our leadership and uses that to develop organization structural dimensions that will define the characteristics of the most effective organization design.
