Abstract: This project analyzes the ongoing debate on how the Army will change to meet the current and projected world environment challenges in force structure and fighting doctrine. Second, it will synopsize the significant challenges associated with integrating stability operations into Army doctrine, operations, and force structure. Third, this study will examine the current challenges that the analytical community is now facing associated with analyzing stability operations and the impact the current analytical shortfall across the analytical community and their ability to provide meaningful analysis to solve very difficult problems pertaining to force structure, strategy, and a host of other defense challenges. To illustrate these challenges in the analytical community this paper will review several key events that defined the modeling and simulations challenges and will assess a recent study conducted by the Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Analysis Center (TRAC) addressing modeling, methodology, and analytical shortfalls related to stability operations. Finally, the study will recommend for consideration by the analytical community future investment strategies.
