Abstract

The 1965 passage of immigration reform, which removed racial quotas, generated a mass immigration to the United States from Latin America and Asia. This wave of immigration began in the immediate aftermath of the civil rights era and it led to the formation of a new set of ethnic advocacy groups in American politics.

Abstract

This report documents the results of a multipart research project on evolving a fleet strategy for Army tactical wheeled vehicles. The first phase of the study focused on the light tactical vehicle fleet. The second phase focused on the medium and heavy tactical vehicle fleets, specifically building a status profile that shows the Army where it currently stands in terms of the types, quantities, and years of useful life remaining in its medium and heavy tactical wheeled vehicle fleets. In addition, we discuss the state of the data with regard to tactical vehicles and present recommendations for future research. This research should be of interest to members of the Army and the Department of Defense responsible for formulating, reviewing, or implementing policy that governs the planning and acquisition of tactical wheeled vehicles for the Army.

Abstract

For planners considering changes in the organizational structure of Army combat materiel research and development activities, it is useful to examine the historical record. Insights from the Army's past experience can illuminate beneficial features that should be incorporated in any new organization structure as well as prevent a repeat of what has already been tried unsuccessfully.

Abstract

Using an extension of the Delphi method of exercises known as ""E-Del+I"", RAND researchers attempted to prove that collaborative research can be aided by electronic tools. This briefing documents their efforts to develop the taxonomy of e-aided research and shows the feasibility of this approach.

Abstract

The Arroyo Center has developed a methodology to identify opportunities for the Army to use collaboration with industry to more effectively achieve its research and development goals. The framework prioritizes technologies by Army utility and by market breadth, and it allows superimposition of different management approaches. The author applies the framework to Army technologies and identifies those that are the most appropriate candidates for collaborative development with the commercial sector. Also presented is a budgetary analysis of recent and proposed Army R & D resource allocations. By integrating the budgetary analysis with the framework application, the author shows that more Army collaboration with industry in selected technologies will enhance the effective use of Army R & D funds.

Abstract

The Department of Defense has developed new sensor technologies to support military forces operating in Iraq and Afghanistan. These new capabilities may be useful in counterdrug operations along the southern U.S. border. DoD has held technology demonstrations to test and demonstrate new technologies along the southern border, because the field conditions along the border closely resemble those in current military theaters of operation and because they can also reveal whether new technologies are useful for CD operations led by domestic law enforcement agencies. However, there are legal questions about whether such technology demonstrations fully comply with U.S. law and whether advanced DoD sensors can legally be used in domestic CD operations when they are operated by U.S. military forces. In this report, the authors examine federal law and DoD policy to answer these questions. Some parts of U.S. law mandate information sharing among federal departments and agencies for national security purposes and direct DoD to play a key role in domestic CD operations in support of U.S. law enforcement agencies, while other parts of the law place restrictions on when the U.S. military may participate in law enforcement operations. Reviewing relevant federal law and DoD policy, the authors conclude that there is no legal reason why a DoD sensor should be excluded from use in an interagency technology demonstration or in an actual CD operation as long as a valid request for support is made by an appropriate law enforcement official and so long as no personally identifiable or private information is collected. The authors recommend DoD policy on domestic CD operations be formally clarified and that an approval process should be established for technology demonstrations with a CD nexus.
