This monograph addresses the following two specific questions: What should a robust acquisition investment strategy look like-one designed to perform well against all anticipated threats? How should the Army acquisition community assess the appropriateness of its investment strategy over time? The study proposes adaptation of a RAND tool called Assumption-Based Planning to help Army personnel maintain proper alignment between strategic guidance and the Army acquisition program and budget. It uses this tool to create a model that recommends acquisition investments across a broad range of capabilities. The model works toward the goal of satisfying the complex and evolving requirements specified in the national security guidance. The model applies five main steps, by identifying (1) the assumptions that underlie Army acquisition policy; (2) load-bearing assumptions, i.e., important assumptions that underpin and shape Army acquisition plans; (3) signposts or indicators that an assumption is becoming vulnerable; (4) shaping actions that can be taken to keep assumptions viable, and (5) hedging actions that can be taken to prepare for unwelcome but unpreventable developments. For the acquisitions community, shaping and hedging actions both take the form of investments.

The Future Combat System (FCS) program -- which comprises 14 integrated weapon systems and an advanced information network -- is the centerpiece of the Army¿s effort to transition to a lighter, more agile, and more capable combat force. This report includes an examination of: (1) how the definition, development, and demonstration of FCS capabilities are proceeding, particularly in light of the go/no-go decision scheduled for 2009; (2) the Army¿s plans for making production commitments for FCS and any risks related to the completion of development; and (3) the estimated costs for developing and producing FCS. Includes recommendations. Tables and figures.

The Army acquisition community stands at a critical juncture. The Future Combat System, the centerpiece of Army transformation, has proven to be more expensive and technologically more complicated than originally anticipated, and the rapid pace of ongoing operations means that many key weapon systems will reach the end of their service lives sooner than planned or will require intensive maintenance to keep functioning. The future presents even more challenges for which the Army must prepare, including a wide range of dangerous adversaries, the potential reallocation of combat tasks across and among the services, and the prospect of budget pressures. Taken together, these circumstances raise some important questions for the Army acquisition community. What should a robust acquisition investment strategy look like -- one designed to perform well against all of the anticipated threats? Further, how should the Army acquisition community assess the appropriateness of its investment strategy as time goes by? This study seeks to provide insight into these questions by describing a new way for the Army to assess investments across a broad range of options. This method, the Acquisition Investment Management (AIM) model, incorporates Assumption-Based Planning (ABP), a tool developed by RAND to assist in planning during uncertain times. Following an introductory chapter, Chapter Two describes how the authors developed and applied the Army acquisition investment strategy process. Chapter Three discusses how this process could be incorporated into the Army's current programming and budgeting activities. Chapter Four concludes with lessons for the acquisition community drawn from the period between the two World Wars. Four appendixes support the analysis with details of Assumption-Based Planning, alternative sets of circumstances, the budget categories the research employed to create the acquisition investment strategy development process, and an account of the interwar era.

The Future Combat System (FCS) program is the centerpiece of the Army's effort to transition to a lighter, more agile, and more capable combat force. The law requires the DoD to hold a milestone review of the FCS program, now planned for 2009. This report addresses: (1) what knowledge will likely be available in key areas for the review; and (2) the challenges that lie ahead following the review. To meet these objectives, the auditor reviewed key documents, performed analysis, attended demonstrations and design reviews, and interviewed DoD officials. Illustrations.
