PREFACE<br />
This dissertation explores the possibility of integrating a new type of unit into the<br />
United States <strong>Army</strong>. The impetus for this analysis is a recent shift in Department of Defense<br />
force planning from planning primarily for wars fought without rotation to wars fought with<br />
rotation. This dissertation analyzes the attractiveness and feasibility of integrating a new type<br />
of unit into the <strong>Army</strong> from three perspectives: budgetary, operational, and historical. It is<br />
intended to stimulate debate about the future size and mix of the <strong>Army</strong> when planning for<br />
wars fought with rotation.<br />
