In the early 1980s the Army committed to developing a | |
peacetime unit replacement system to change the way it | |
manned the force. The COHORT experiment became the focus | |
for unit replacements and supposedly pointed the path to | |
a wartime replacement system based on units rather than | |
individuals. The Wartime Replacement System Study (WTRSS) | |
developed a concept for unit replacement operations and | |
provided conclusions and recommendations for implementing | |
a new system. However, there were numerous problems and | |
impediments for successfully implementing a unit manning | |
system that could sustain and be sustained in war. This | |
study closely examines the recommendations of the WTRSS | |
and focuses on those issues which appear to be | |
warstoppers and questions the feasibility and | |
desirability of converting to a unit manning system as | |
opposed to continuing with the individual replacement | |
system. It reviews the descriptions and definitions of | |
the current system as well as the proposed system. It | |
also looks at the current COHORT sustainment model as a | |
possible pathfinder for transition to a unit manning | |
system in war. | |
