With the current Army doctrine--AirLand Battle--as the baseline, the plausible variations in implementation should be made over the next 10 to 15 years. The objective would be to project an estimate of Army needs and preferences. A long-term exploration effort would extend 30 to 40 years, where projections are necessarily highly speculative. Essentially deductive, this effort would consider a range of visions and would highlight generic developments. The purpose would be to stimulate conceptual thinking by contrasting different concepts, profiting from comparisons and choices between and among them.  aAlso available on the internet via WWW in PDF format.  aDescription based on print version record. 0aUnited StatesxMilitary policy.1 aSchwarz, Benjamin C.eauthor.2 aArroyo Center.bApplied Technology Program.2 aRand Corporation.1 aUnited States.bArmy.41yOnline Accessuhttp://www.rand.org/pubs/reports/R3615/
