TRADOC Pam 525-3-7-01The Army’s Human Dimension concept, as amplified in this study, aims to recommend newways to recruit and sustain a professional force capable of prosecuting today’s missions andadapting to meet future needs that are likely to change substantially. The study prescribesdeliberate and continuing review of the Army’s mission and its human development implications(observation); ongoing assessment of the force and its human component (orientation); consciousand timely decisionmaking to guide development of the human resources of the Army (decide);and, timely and comprehensive actions to maintain human excellence and mission-readiness inthe force from initial entry to senior levels both individually and collectively.1-2. The Operational ProblemCurrent trends in the global and domestic operational environments will challenge theUnited States' ability to maintain a future responsive, professional, All-Volunteer Force. Soldierswill operate in an era of persistent conflict amongst populations with diverse religious, ethnic,and societal values. Faced with continuous employment across the full range of militaryoperations, the Army will require extraordinary strength in the moral, physical, and cognitivecomponents of the human dimension. Existing accessions, personnel, and force training andeducation development efforts will not meet these future challenges, placing at grave risk theArmy's ability to provide combatant commanders the forces and capabilities necessary to executethe National Security, National Defense, and National Military Strategies.1-3. Solution SynopsisThe Army will need to increase its human dimension focus in both the operational Army andGenerating Force in order to meet future challenges and operate in an era of persistent conflict.Improved capabilities must address the broad range of human dimension actions necessary toprepare, support, and sustain this force. The Army must maintain a proper balance of moral,physical, and cognitive development with contributions from science and technology (S&T) thatcan enhance Soldier physical and mental performance. The Army must widen the community ofpractice in the human dimension to continue to explore how we can best recruit, train, and retainan all volunteer force that can operate across the entire range of military operations.1-4. Organization of the StudyThe Human Dimension study is unique to Army concepts not only in the subject matter butalso in its organization. As a study intended to inform and provide the foundation for the HumanDimension concept, it provides an expanded, well-researched body of information.Each chapter consists of three sections. The first section contains the key ideas and main textof the chapter. The second section contains a vignette that illustrates the challenges found in thefuture operational environment and establishes a context to help the reader visualize the impact ofthe human dimension in that environment. The third section then suggests an array of requiredcapabilities needed to execute that chapter’s key ideas, followed by recommended questions forfurther study.10
TRADOC Pam 525-3-7-01This chapter introduces the operational problem that this study and the concept itself seek toaddress. It introduces the idea of a future of persistent conflict and goes on to describe theunchanging nature of conflict. It continues with a discussion of the Army as a profession and ofthe future challenges, Soldiers and all members of the Army family will face.Chapter 2 further sets the stage for the rest of the study. It identifies future trends that willaffect the human dimension. From it, the remaining chapters draw their relevance and validatethe need for change.Chapter 3 begins the discussion of the triad of the moral, physical, and cognitive componentsof Soldier and organizational development and performance with a discussion the moralcomponent. This chapter establishes the primacy of a values-based Army imbued with thewarrior spirit.Chapter 4 moves to the physical component proposing that that future Soldiers will needmore than mere physical training and fitness. It advances instead, a holistic fitness approach thattakes into account all aspects of mental, emotional, and physical well-being.Chapter 5 completes the triad with the cognitive component of Soldier development. It dealswith training and education throughout the life cycle of Soldiers as individuals, and collectivelyin units, offering that learning must continue to be a lifelong process.Chapter 6 presents a distinct treatment of the phenomena of combat and operational stress, asthey will affect the Army of the future. It postulates that persistent conflict characterized byrepeated deployments and intensive training and combat operations will continue to challenge theArmy.Chapter 7 extends the discussions in the preceding chapters to how the Army must access andretain its human capital including the Army Family. It takes into account forgoing discussions onthe operational environment, the triad of human development, and the impact of a highoperational tempo (OPTEMPO) on recruiting, developing, and retaining committed individuals.Chapter 8 addresses both the impact and the potential contributions of S&T on the Army ofthe future. It introduces advances in both materiel and social sciences that can enhance humanperformance both physically and cognitively.Chapter 9 serves as an integration chapter within this study by bringing the role of leadershipand the development of future leaders into focus. In the context of all the preceding material, theleadership chapter highlights the preeminent role of commanders and leaders at all levels incomprehending and applying all aspects of the human dimension to accomplish the Army’smission.Chapter 10 provides a summary of the concept and lays down a challenge to today’s Soldiersand leaders to take action proactively to insure that the Nation continues to invest its energy andresources in the right way to maintain and evolve the preeminent land forces of the future.11
