Title: Creating an effective regional alignment strategy for the U.S. Army
Description: "As the war in Afghanistan draws to a close, the Army increasingly is focused upon 'regionally aligning' its forces. To do so effectively, however, it must undertake several initiatives. First, the Army must acknowledge and liberate the unique productive capabilities (talents) of each individual. Second, it must shift from process-oriented, industrial age personnel management to productivity-focused, information age talent management. Third, the Army must foster enduring human relationships between its organizations and the governments, militaries, and populations to which they are regionally aligned. Hand in hand with this, it must redesign its Force Generation Model to create regional expertise at both individual and organizational levels. Finally, the Army must ensure that regional alignment does not degrade the worldwide 'flex' capabilities of its forces"--Publisher's web site.
