U.S. Army Analysis & Center for Army Analysis (CAA) Overview Dr. Wm. Forrest Crain Director, CAA
What kind of analysis are we talking about? Ends: Analyses as part of the Army and Joint leaders decision-making processes to: Organize, man, train, equip, sustain, station, and resource the Army Inform policy decisions and conduct strategic, operational, and tactical operations Ways: Assist decision makers in solving complex problems by producing analysis and logical reasoning necessary to inform and underpin those critical decisions. Assessments Force structure and force generation Force capability requirements Wargaming and campaign analysis Risk analysis Resource analysis (stationing, acquisition portfolios, etc.) Geospatial analysis Means: Operations Research Systems Analysis (ORSA) Military: Functional Area 49 officers Civilian: Career Program 36, Series 1515 analysts Contract : Fully-Funded R&D Center, Academia, Commercial Decision Support to the Operational & Institutional Army 2

TRAC Battlefield Operations - Organizational Design & Force Effectiveness. Small Units up to Corps Small Units System & Technology Materiel Systems Performance Analysis Logistics Systems & Network Performance Analysis Forward Support Cell at AMC Headquarters AMSAA ATEC CAA, TRAC, and AMSAA collaborate to provide the Army an effective, responsive, in-house analysis capability. ATEC provides essential information to acquisition decision-makers. The Army calls on RAND, USMA, DUSA-TE, DASA-CE, USAMAA, and others to answer a variety of questions. Study resources are managed by the Army G-8, Army Studies Program Management Office.
Center for Army Analysis CAA is a Field Operating Agency of the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-8. Vision: CAA is recognized authority on the independent analysis of land warfare interests in a joint and combined context. Mission: CAA conducts decision support analysis across the spectrum of conflict, in a Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental, and Multinational (JIIM) context to inform critical senior level decisions for current and future national security issues. 6001 Goethals Road Fort Belvoir, VA XO: 703-806-5646
