0 likes•716 views
This document discusses the future of mounted and dismounted operations, as well as the role of tactical small units. It notes that as technology advances, soldiers are able to do more with less. The relationship between combat arms maneuver (CAM) and wide area security (WAS) operations in achieving full spectrum operations is also examined. CAM focuses on defeating enemy ground forces through offensive operations, while WAS protects populations and infrastructure and denies the enemy advantages through defensive and stability operations. The document advocates for blended training approaches utilizing live, virtual, and constructive environments to improve repetition and consolidate operational gains.

2017 U.S. Marine Corps Aviation Plan
Annual Plan of procurement, logistics, maintenance and operations plan for aviation capability in US Marine Corps.
CSBA - FY-2016 Weapon Systems Factbook
This report summarizes the program plans and funding for each of the major acquisition programs included in the SAR and four additional programs. The Air Force’s Long Range Strike-Bomber (LRS-B), Long Range Standoff Missile (LRSO), and Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD), the future replacement for the Minuteman III, and the Navy’s Ohio-Class Replacement are not yet reported in the SAR, but enough is known about each program to construct a reasonable cost estimate. These programs are among the largest acquisition programs in DoD’s portfolio, and any discussion of major acquisitions would be incomplete without them. The programs included in this report represent 36 percent of the total acquisition budget in the FY 2016 FYDP. The remaining 64 percent of funding is used for hundreds of smaller acquisition programs not reported in the SAR or other programs too early in development to be included in the SAR.
The Tustin Hangars - Titans of History
“The Tustin Hangars: Titans of History” is a comprehensive history of the two blimp hangars at the former U.S. Navy and Marine Corps air station in Tustin, California. The hangars were built early in World War II to house manned blimps or, in Navy terminology, non-rigid lighter-than-air (LTA) airships.

Rand Reforming Military Retirement July 2015
The Military Compensation and Retirement Modernization Commission (MCRMC) retirement
reform plan is a blended approach that includes a defined benefit (DB), a defined contribution
(DC) plan, and higher current compensation in the form of continuation pay at year
of service (YOS) 12. In addition, the plan allows active component (AC) service members—at
the time of their retirement from the military—a choice regarding the DB annuity receivable
from the time of retirement to age 67.1 The member may choose a full DB annuity, a full
lump-sum payment in lieu of the annuity, or partial DB annuity and partial lump sum. The
DB is like today’s DB, except with a multiplier of 2.0 percent instead of 2.5 percent in today’s
system. Reserve component (RC) retirees could elect to receive (1) a full DB annuity starting
at age 60; (2) a lump sum paid at the time of retirement from the RC in lieu of the annuity to
age 67; or (3) a partial DB annuity from ages 60 to 67 and a partial lump sum paid at the time
of retirement from the RC, then receive the full annuity starting at age 67. The DC plan vests
at YOS 3, the Department of Defense (DoD) makes an automatic contribution of 1 percent of
basic pay from years 1 to 20, and DoD matches the member’s contribution up to 5 percent of
basic pay over years 3–20.
GAO - Surface Ships: Status of the Navy’s Phased Modernization Plan
The Navy originally proposed a Phased Modernization Plan in 2014 that would place 11 cruisers and 3 dock-landing ships into reduced operating status for up to 12 years for maintenance and modernization. However, in 2015 the Navy significantly revised the plan in response to congressional concerns about capacity shortfalls. The revised plan limits the number of cruisers in modernization status at one time to no more than 6, and the time per cruiser to no more than 4 years. The Navy did not consider formal alternatives to the original plan and revised it primarily to address congressional concerns about reduced fleet capacity.

CBO Long-Term Implications of FY2015 FYDP Nov 2014
To provide information about its plans beyond the coming year, the Department of Defense (DoD) generally provides a five-year plan, called the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP), that is associated with the budget it submits to the Congress. Because decisions made in the near term can have consequences for the defense budget in the longer term, CBO regularly examines DoD’s FYDP and projects its budgetary impact for roughly a decade beyond the period covered by the FYDP. For this analysis, CBO used the FYDP that was provided to the Congress in April 2014; it spans fiscal years 2015 to 2019, and CBO’s projections span the years 2015 to 2030.
For fiscal year 2015, DoD requested appropriations totaling $555 billion. Of that amount, $496 billion was for the base budget and $59 billion was for what are termed overseas contingency operations (OCO). The base budget covers programs that constitute the department’s normal activities, such as the development and procurement of weapon systems and the day-to-day operations of the military and civilian workforce. Funding for OCO pays for U.S. involvement in the war in Afghanistan and other nonroutine military activities elsewhere. The FYDP describes DoD’s plans for its normal activities and therefore generally corresponds to the base budget.
DoD’s 2015 plans differ from its 2014 plans in important ways. For example, in an effort to reduce costs, the current FYDP includes sizeable cuts in the number of military personnel, particularly in the Army.
2014 Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) Strategic Plan Vision 2020
Since its establishment, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) has been directing, administering, and providing DoD-wide guidance for the execution of programs for which it is responsible. This role is made difficult by the rapidly changing international environment, by resource scarcity, and by the overall complexity of the Security Cooperation community (SCC). It requires a whole-of-government approach to building capacities with our partners that support U.S. interests. DSCA Vision 2020 lays out a plan for DSCA to enable such an approach by the Security Cooperation enterprise (SCE), focusing on three interlocking areas: (1) synchronizing security cooperation activities, (2) meeting customer expectations, and (3) ensuring the effective and efficient use of community resources.
2015 Marine Corps Aviation Plan
The document outlines the responsibilities and priorities of the United States Marine Corps Aviation program.

The document provides an overview of the history of cavalry and armored vehicles from ancient times to modern day. It traces the evolution from early domesticated horses used by Sumerians in war to heavier armored cavalry developed by later civilizations. Over time, cavalry and their mounts grew larger and heavier with more armor protection. However, this increased weight reduced mobility. The document discusses how present ground vehicles face similar tradeoffs between survivability and mobility. It introduces the Ground X-Vehicle Technologies program which aims to develop new technologies to significantly improve mobility without compromising survivability by taking a different approach than just adding more armor.

It then assesses roles and requirements for the U.S. Army, focusing on security cooperation, protecting bases and allies, and projecting forces if needed. The goal is to promote cooperation while addressing potential conflict.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
