The Army wishes to improve its training strategy for Brigade Combat Teams equipped with Future Combat Systems (FCS) technologies. Key findings are that live training events will remain a cornerstone of FCS unit training, and that adaptation to changing operational requirements will be a challenge. Planned enhancements will provide important improvements for the system, but the overall training capability achieved will fall short of requirements.

Does likely continued U.S. involvement in counterinsurgencies call for adding specialized aircraft, training, or other resources to the general airlift fleet? In general, existing U.S. airlift forces can accomplish most such missions effectively. But continued operations likely will require reinforcement of the general airlift fleet and, perhaps acquisition of a small fleet element optimized for certain counterinsurgency missions.

Governments spend billions to protect against terrorism. Might it help to understand what al Qaeda would achieve with each specific attack? This book examines various hypotheses of terrorist targeting: is it (1) to coerce, (2) to damage economies, (3) to rally the faithful, or (4) a decision left to affiliates? This book analyzes past attacks, post hoc justifications, and expert opinion to weigh each hypothesis.

As the final product of a project dealing with the security implications of Asia's financial and economic turmoil, this report considers the sharp economic reversals suffered in the Asian region in 1997 and 1998 and the marked but widely varying evidence of significant recovery among the different countries of the region. The report then turns to the medium- and longer-term trends with respect to economic growth, military spending, and military investment in five countries in the greater Asian area: namely, Japan, China, India, South Korea, and Indonesia. The five countries were selected by agreement with the sponsors from a larger set addressed in RAND's previous analyses in 1989 and 1995 of long-term economic and military trends. India, a South Asian country, was included along with the four principal East Asian countries in light of its size and enhanced military prominence.
