Knowledge and Speed: The Annual Report on the Army After Next Project to theChief of Staff of the Army

摘要

In February 1996, the Army established the AAN Project to assist our leadershipin developing a vision of future Army requirements. The focus of the project is on issues of interest to the Army looking out thirty years. Positioning ourselves conceptually in 2025 (as we know it today) and then looking back enables us to chart a more clear and steady course to 2025 and beyond. The research for the AAN Project has been focused in four areas: probable geopolitical realities, evolving military art and science, human and organizational behavior issues, and technology. Each of these areas is addressed in the report.
