Improving the Response Capabilities of RED HORSE (A Force Module Approach).

摘要

RED HORSE (RH) units quickly deploy under current guidelines. The problem is mostly the incompatibleness of operational guideline with modern constraints. Solutions exist in theory, but predictions of success must involve changes in deployment planning, the current buzz word being force module applications. This study defines the criteria for RH force module applications. This approach should bring about a more responsive deployment capability by way of well developed planning. Research included reviews of historical documents and past studies such as RELOOK. Experts were surveyed to develop additional data in support of criteria development. The survey process was accomplished as a Delphi study which is a data collection procedure for refining the opinions of experts. The Delphi process normally involves several iterations of expert interviews with the goal of reaching a consensus among respondents. Theses. (RRH)
