INTRODUCTION
The RAND Corporation is a nonprofit research organization providing objective analysis and effective solutions that
address the challenges facing the public and private sectors around the world. It conducts studies in the public interest
supported by the United States government, by local and state governments, by private foundations, and by its own funds
derived from earned fees. The work involves most of the major disciplines in the physical, social, and biological sciences,
with emphasis on their application to problems of policy and planning in domestic and foreign affairs.
The methods and findings of RAND research are reported chiefly in RAND’s publications. Many RAND studies
appear also as articles in professional, scholarly, and technical journals (published in our Reprint series), and as books
published by other commercial publishers and university presses. Selected RAND Abstracts (SRA) is a complete guide to
current unclassified RAND publications.
The numbered publication series includes:

The Monograph/Report, Monograph, and Technical Report are the principal publications documenting and transmitting
RAND’s major research findings. Monograph/Reports and Monographs strive to be comprehensive or analyze a problem
from a variety of perspectives. Technical Reports may include research findings on a specific topic that is limited in scope
or intended for a narrow audience; present discussions of the methodology employed in research; provide literature
reviews, survey instruments, modeling exercises, guidelines for practitioners and research professionals, and supporting
documentation; or deliver preliminary findings. Conference Proceedings, Testimony, and Documented Briefings report on
those events after the fact. Dissertations emanate from the Pardee RAND Graduate School. The Reprint series reproduces
previously published journal articles and book chapters. Occasional Papers may include an informed perspective on a
timely policy issue, a discussion of new research methodologies, essays, a paper presented at a conference, or a summary
of work in progress. Research Briefs are policy-oriented summaries of published RAND research. Corporate publications
describe the nature of RAND and its work as a whole. Working papers are intended to share the authors’ latest research
findings and solicit informal peer review. LRPs are articles or book chapters written by RAND authors but not available
from RAND. Commercial books are published by other commercial or academic presses or by RAND as reprints of earlier
reports.
In addition, some RAND research is published as articles in journals or other books.
Selected RAND Abstracts is divided into an index section and an abstract section.
INDEX SECTION
Each issue of SRA contains author, subject, and title indexes covering all the material abstracted in the current volume.
Author Index. The entries under the authors’ names give the numbers and titles of their publications abstracted
in this volume of SRA.
Subject Index. Each publication is indexed under one or more appropriate subjects. The lines that follow the
subject headings are titles. The publication number following the modifier refers the user to the abstract appearing in the
abstract section.
Title Index. Each title is followed by its document number.
vi
ABSTRACT SECTION
Abstracts are arranged serially by publication number. A complete serial list of publications included in this volume
appears immediately preceding the author index.

Rhetoric Versus Reality: What We Know
and What We Need to Know About Vouchers and Charter Schools.
B. P. Gill, P. M. Timpane, K. E. Ross, D. J. Brewer. 2007.
Education vouchers and charter schools are two of the most
prominent and far-reaching forms of family-choice policies currently
in evidence in the nation’s elementary and secondary schools. As
such, they present important challenges to the traditional provision
of public education in schools that are created, governed, funded,
and operated by state and local authorities. This update of Chapters
One and Three of a book originally published in 2001 reviews the
theoretical foundations for vouchers and charter schools and the
empirical evidence of their effectiveness as set forth in hundreds
of recent reports and studies. It incorporates a substantial amount
of new evidence on achievement effects, and it also examines
the ways in which multiple dimensions of policy design — such
as targeting, funding levels and limitations, admissions policies,
academic standards and assessments, and accountability — will
determine the nature and extent of any specific program’s impact.
A comprehensive assessment is made of what is known about the
effects of vouchers and charters in terms of not only academic
achievement, but also family choice, equitable access, racial/
ethnic integration, and civic socialization. The book discusses
the important empirical questions that are as yet unresolved and
considers the prospects for answering them in the future. Finally, it
explores the details of the design of voucher and charter policies,
concluding with recommendations for policymakers who are
considering their enactment. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

The United States, the European Union, Russia, and the United
Nations — along with Israel and the Palestinian Authority — all
officially support the establishment of an independent Palestinian
state. This book summarizes research conducted by the RAND
Corporation from September 2002 to September 2004 to develop
recommendations, based on rigorous analysis, about steps that
Palestinians, Israel, the United States, and the international
community could take to promote the success of a new state if
it is established. The first study identified the requirements for
a successful Palestinian state. The study team surveyed a broad
array of political, economic, social, resource, and environmental
challenges that a new Palestinian state would face. They also
estimated the investment required over the first ten years of
statehood to help ensure security, build infrastructure, and facilitate
the success of the new state. The second study explored options for
addressing the housing, transportation, and related infrastructure
needs of a burgeoning Palestinian population. The study explicitly
considered issues related to potential immigration to a new
Palestinian state of a substantial number of diaspora Palestinian
refugees. The research team developed initial cost estimates
for implementing their recommendations. The cost estimates
developed in these studies suggest that the funding necessary to
implement RAND’s recommendations is within the capacity of
combined international resources and private investors. RAND’s
analyses assume a peace accord, but many of the recommendations
in both studies could be implemented constructively prior to
Palestinian independence. Readers in search of more information
should consult the respective volumes: The RAND Palestinian
State Study Team, Building a Successful Palestinian State, Santa

The Arc: A Formal Structure for a Palestinian
State|. D. R. Suisman, S. Simon, G. E. Robinson, C. R. Anthony,
M. Schoenbaum. 2007.
An exploration of options for strengthening the physical
infrastructure for a new Palestinian state, this study builds on
analyses that RAND conducted between 2002 and 2004 to identify
the requirements for a successful Palestinian state. That work,
Building a Successful Palestinian State, surveyed a broad array of
political, economic, social, resource, and environmental challenges
that a new Palestinian state would face. This study, The Arc: A
Formal Structure for a Palestinian State, examined a range of
approaches to siting and constructing the backbone of infrastructure
that all states need, in the context of a large and rapidly growing
Palestinian population. The research team develop a detailed vision
for a modern, high-speed transportation infrastructure, referred to
as the Arc. This transportation backbone accommodates substantial
population growth in Palestine by linking current urban centers
to new neighborhoods via new linear transportation arteries that
support both commercial and residential development. The Arc
avoids the environmental costs and economic inefficiencies of
unplanned, unregulated urban development that might otherwise
accompany Palestine’s rapid population growth. Constructing the
key elements of the Arc will require very substantial investment
of economic resources. It will also employ substantial numbers
of Palestinian construction workers. It seems plausible that key
aspects of the Arc design can be pursued, with great benefit, even
before an independent Palestinian state is established. Online

Budget Estimating Relationships for DepotLevel Reparables in the Air Force Flying Hour Program. G. G.
Hildebrandt. 2007.
Budget estimating relationships (BERs) for flying depot-level
reparables (DLRs) explain the direct effect of specified variables
on obligated funds associated with spare parts that directly support
the U.S. Air Force (USAF) Flying Hour Program. In FY02, net sales
of DLRs to Air Force commands hit historic highs. To provide the
Air Force Cost Analysis Improvement Group with a tool to better
understand the commands— budgetary submissions, we develop
several explanatory BERs to understand why flying DLRs are at their
particular levels. Using longitudinal regression statistical methods,
we explain the historical net sales of flying DLRs using estimating
models that relate net sales to the contemporaneous values of aircraft
characteristics, operational tempo, and time-related variables. This
is but one part of a larger project to develop better estimating
methods for use by the acquisition community and to examine the
impact of Air Force and DoD policies on weapon system costs.
The findings will also be of interest to those in the national security
community who are involved in analyzing alternative military
postures, and to members of the aircraft industry’s analytical
community. Online access: http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/

The Civil-Military Gap in the United States: Does
It Exist, Why, and Does It Matter? T. S. Szayna, K. F. McCarthy, J.
M. Sollinger, L. J. Demaine, J. P. Marquis, B. D. Steele. 2007.
What is the potential for a divergence in views among civilian
and military elites (sometimes referred to as the civil-military
gap) to undermine military effectiveness? The authors propose a
five-stage analytical framework that encompasses the main areas
where a civil-military gap might have an impact. Using an existing
survey-based dataset (prepared and administered by the Triangle
Institute for Security Studies) to inform this framework, they find a
variety of differences among the military and civilian respondents.
However, most of those differences disappeared when the authors
focused on the attitudes that are pertinent to civilian control of
the military and military effectiveness. The major exception to this
pattern related to such military personnel policies as women in
combat, the military’s policies with regard to sexual harassment,
and whether gays should serve in the military. In contrast, most of
the other measures of military effectiveness appear to be influenced
more by views of the military threat facing the country and views
of foreign policy-where all military officers and civilians share
similar perspectives. Overall, concerns about a civil-military gap
and possible erosion of the principle of civilian control of the
military appear to be overstated. Online access: http://www.rand.

America Goes to War: Managing the Force
During Times of Stress and Uncertainty. B. Rostker. 2007.
For more than three decades, the United States has relied on an allvolunteer force to meet its military needs. Today, the sustainability
of that force is being tested with high levels of deployment and
subsequent “stress.” Such an environment raises the issue of
how the Department of Defense can continue to manage its
personnel. This report looks at the history of conscription versus
volunteerism (particularly in Great Britain, France, and Prussia)
to understand when and under what conditions conscription has
been used effectively to raise the manpower needed. Specifically,
what actions could the U.S. Army take to increase the supply of
volunteers or reduce the demand for new personnel? The report
also focuses on the many programs that have been developed to
help military members and their families cope during difficult
times, as well as the particular challenges of understanding
which programs work. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

MG-405/1-AF Learning Large Lessons: The Evolving Roles of
Ground Power and Air Power in the Post-Cold War Era: Executive
Summary. D. E. Johnson. 2007.
The relative roles of U.S. ground and air power have shifted since
the end of the Cold War. At the level of major operations and
campaigns, the Air Force has proved capable of and committed
to performing deep strike operations, which the Army long
had believed the Air Force could not reliably accomplish. If air
power can largely supplant Army systems in deep operations, the
implications for both joint doctrine and service capabilities would
be significant. To assess the shift of these roles, the author of this
report analyzed post-Cold War conflicts in Iraq (1991), Bosnia
(1995), Kosovo (1999), Afghanistan (2001), and Iraq (2003).
Because joint doctrine frequently reflects a consensus view rather
than a truly integrated joint perspective, the author recommends
that joint doctrine-and the processes by which it is derived and
promulgated-be overhauled. The author also recommends reform
for the services beyond major operations and campaigns to
ensure that the United States attains its strategic objectives. This
executive summary contains an abbreviated discussion of four
of the cases examined: Iraq (1991), Kosovo (1999), Afghanistan
(2001), and Iraq (2003). It also incorporates modest changes from
the larger monograph, based on suggestions made to the author
since its publication. Online access: http://www.rand.org/pubs/

“People Make the City,” Executive
Summary: Joint Urban Operations Observations and Insights from
Afghanistan and Iraq. R. W. Glenn, C. Paul, T. C. Helmus, P.
Steinberg. 2007.
Today’s strategic environment implies an obligation to preserve
innocent life when possible and to rebuild that which war destroys.
Urban areas are the keys to nations; people make nations just as,
as Thucydides wrote, men make cities. This study aimed to reveal
tools that will better enable military and civilian alike to meet
national policy objectives by more effectively conducting urban
combat and restoration. To do so, the study draws heavily on
written material and interviews pertaining to Operations Enduring
and Iraqi Freedom. Written information used includes thousands
of pages of hard-copy and electronic material, much of it from
172
military personnel still serving in theater at the time of its writing.
Interviews include those with members of the American, British,
and Australian armed forces and civilians working to reconstruct
Iraq. The military personnel represent all of the services and both
regular and special operations organizations. The time frame
for the study corresponds to two collection phases. Phase I was
conducted from October 2003 to April 2004, while Phase II was
conducted during three months, from July 2004 to September 2004.
The results of a third phase of the study are published separately.

How Funding Instability Affects Army Programs.
D. Kassing, R. W. Thomas, F. A. Camm, C. Wong. 2007.
This study examined funding instability in Army acquisition
programs to determine how it affected those programs. A literature
review suggested that funding changes often result in adverse
effects, but also revealed that there was no common definition
of funding instability. The first step of the project was to create
a measure of funding instability, which was then applied to 18
Army programs that had been approved for system development
and demonstration (SDD) in the 1980s and 1990s and had at least
five years of SDD experience. The first analysis performed sought
out relationships between funding instability measures for Army
development and procurement programs and measures of adverse
outcomes: development cost growth, procurement cost growth, and
schedule slippage. A small but positive association between total
funding instability and schedule slippage was found in the Army
data, but no significant associations between funding instability
and adverse outcomes were found. Three case studies were then
conducted to look more deeply into how financial instability affects
program management. Most funding instability found in the case
studies came from two sources: events that occurred outside the
control of Army leaders, and ambitious technical goals set by
decisions made within the Army. Regardless of the root cause of
funding instability, however, its effects showed up as schedule slips,
cost increases, and to a lesser degree, technical compromises. The
final analysis was of funding instability between fiscal years 2000
and 2004, a period in which external events and transformation
programs contributed to funding instability. A comparison of Army
programs in this, more recent period with those in the earlier period
showed that funding instability had increased in development
programs and decreased in procurement programs. A comparison
of the experience of the more recent Army programs with that of
Air Force programs in the same period revealed generally similar
levels of funding instability for the two services. Online access:

Haciendo Camino: Analisis Del Sistema De
Evaluacion Y Del Impacto Del Programa De Estimulos Docentes
Carrera Magisterial En Mexico. L. Santiba‰nez, J. F. Martinez,
A. Datar, P. J. McEwan, C. M. Setodji, R. Basurto-Davila. 2007.
Mexico’s Carrera Magisterial is one of the pioneer teacher incentive
programs in the world. It was designed in 1992 and instituted
jointly by the federal education authorities, state authorities, and
the teachers’ union as a horizontal promotion system that rewards
teachers with salary bonuses on the basis of their performance.
Teacher performance is evaluated through a series of assessments,
including teacher and student tests. The program has never been
formally and independently evaluated even though it encompasses
hundreds of thousands of teachers and is responsible for allocating
millions of dollars in salary bonuses every year. The Mexican
Ministry of Education (Secretar‚ia de Educaci‚on P‚ublica)
posed the question: How can Carrera Magisterial be reformed to
help it increase educational quality in Mexico? This monograph
presents the results from the work addressing this question. While
Haciendo camino is concerned specifically with evaluating Carrera
Magisterial’s system of teacher evaluation and is thus of particular
interest to education policymakers in Mexico, it also offers general
insights regarding teacher incentives and assessments that may
serve to inform a broad audience of policymakers, educators, and
the general public interested in the field of teacher reform. Online

Arts and Culture in the Metropolis: Strategies
for Sustainability. K. F. McCarthy, E. H. Ondaatje, J. L. Novak.
2007.
The nonprofit arts currently face an environment that challenges
the way the arts have grown and raises the prospect of future
consolidation. Cognizant of these problems, William Penn
Foundation and the Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance asked
RAND to examine the condition of Philadelphia’s arts and
culture sector and recommend actions to ensure its sustainability.
The authors identify the sources and characteristics of this new
environment and describe the ways local arts communities are
responding to the challenges confronting them. In the course of
their analysis of eleven metropolitan regions, including Baltimore,
Boston, Charlotte, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Detroit,
Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Pittsburgh, they introduce
two novel ways of examining the local arts sector. First, they focus
on the relationship among the three components of communities’
“arts ecology”: their arts infrastructures; the support systems upon
which the arts depend; and the sociodemographic, economic, and
the political environment in which they operate. Second, they create
a new framework for describing and evaluating the range of support
services that communities provide to their arts sectors. They then
use this framework to analyze the components of Philadelphia’s
arts ecology and assess its specific strengths and weaknesses.

Breaching the Fortress Wall: Understanding
Terrorist Efforts to Overcome Defensive Technologies. B. A.
Jackson, P. Chalk, K. Cragin, B. Newsome, J. Parachini, W.
Rosenau, E. M. Simpson, M. Sisson, D. Temple. 2007.
The level of threat posed by a terrorist group is determined in large
part by its ability to build its organizational capabilities and bring
those capabilities to bear in violent action. As part of homeland
security efforts, technology systems play a key role within a larger,
integrated strategy to target groups’ efforts and protect the public
from the threat of terrorist violence. Terrorist organizations are
acutely aware of government efforts to deploy these systems and
173
actively seek ways to evade or counteract them. This study draws
on relevant data from the history of a variety of terrorist conflicts
to understand terrorists’ counter-technology efforts. Depending
on the adaptive capabilities of the adversary, a defensive model
built of a variety of security measures that can be adjusted and
redeployed as their vulnerable points are discovered provides a
superior approach to addressing this portion of terrorist behavior.
Fully exploring adversaries’ counter-technology behaviors can
expose vulnerabilities in U.S. defenses and help the nation make

Exploring Terrorist Targeting Preferences. M.
C. Libicki, P. Chalk, M. Sisson. 2007.
Al Qaeda, the jihadist network personified by Osama bin laden,
seeks a restored caliphate free of Western influence. It uses terror
as its means. But how does terrorism serve the ends of al Qaeda?
Understanding its strategic logic might suggest what U.S. targets it
may seek to strike and why. This monograph posits four hypotheses
to link means and ends. The coercion hypothesis suggests that
terrorists are interested in causing pain, notably casualties, to
frighten the United States into pursuing favorable policies (e.g.,
withdrawing from the Islamic world). The damage hypothesis
posits that terrorists want to damage the U.S. economy in order
to weaken its ability to intervene in the Islamic world. The rally
hypothesis holds that terrorism in the United States would be carried
out to attract the attention of potential recruits and supporters. The
franchise hypothesis argues that today’s jihadists pursue their own,
often local, agendas with, at most, support and encouragement
from al Qaeda itself. Each of these four hypotheses was examined
using an analysis of 14 major terrorist attacks, a structured survey
given to terrorism experts, and an analysis of statements by al
Qaeda. The monograph concludes that the coercion and damage
hypotheses are most consistent with prior attack patterns, expert
opinion, and the statements. The rally hypothesis appears to have
weaker explanatory power. The franchise hypothesis coincides
with the majority of post-9/11 attacks, but, unless such franchises
are active in the United States, may not indicate what the next
attack here might be. Online access: http://www.rand.org/pubs/

Sharing the Dragon’s Teeth: Terrorist Groups
and the Exchange of New Technologies. K. Cragin, P. Chalk, S. A.
Daly, B. A. Jackson. 2007.
Terrorist groups—both inside and outside the al Qaeda network—
sometimes form mutually beneficial partnerships to exchange
“best practices.” These exchanges provide terrorist groups with the
opportunity to innovate (i.e., increase their skills and expand their
reach). Understanding how terrorist groups exchange technology
and knowledge, therefore, is essential to ongoing and future
counterterrorism strategies. This study examines how 11 terrorist
groups in three areas (Mindanao, the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and
southwest Colombia) have attempted to exchange technologies and
knowledge in an effort to reveal some of their vulnerabilities. The
analysis provides the Department of Homeland Security and other
national security policymakers with insight into the innovation
process and suggests ways that government policies can create
barriers to terrorists’ adoption of new technologies. Online access:

A New Division of Labor: Meeting America’s
Security Challenges Beyond Iraq. A. R. Hoehn, A. Grissom, D. A.
Ochmanek, D. A. Shlapak, A. J. Vick. 2007.
A new U.S. grand strategy has been emerging, one that requires
not only resources but patience and commitment: the promotion
of democracy and freedom abroad. The U.S. armed forces will
continue to be among the myriad contributors necessary to achieve
this goal. In the face of increasing complexity, changing tactics,
and tight budgets, the defense establishment will need to change
in multiple ways, yet must also not risk its historic strengths. This
volume draws together and integrates insights derived from a wide
range of research efforts undertaken at RAND over the past few
years. Some of the observations include different ways to organize
and employ forces and to divide labor among them, updated
insights about the natures of likely future conflicts, the need to
further improve information resources, and the value of fostering
partnerships among the services and with allies. The authors
also offer specific recommendations, such as a recommendation
to the Air force to reevaluate its concepts for large-scale power
projection. Online access: http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/

Chinese Economic Coercion Against Taiwan:
A Tricky Weapon to Use. M. S. Tanner. 2007.
Ever since the economic relationship between China and Taiwan
began to explode in the early 1990s, U.S. policymakers have been
concerned that China could exploit these economic ties to coerce
Taiwan into making political concessions concerning the two
entities’ political relationship. Taiwan and China now rely on each
other for important contributions to their respective economies,
and each would suffer great economic pain and dislocation in
the event of a major disruption in that relationship, but Taiwan is
far more dependent upon mainland China than mainland China
is dependent upon Taiwan. This monograph analyzes the political
impact of that rapidly growing economic relationship and evaluates
the prospects for Beijing to exploit it by employing economic
coercion against Taiwan. The author evaluates Taiwan’s potential
economic vulnerability to efforts by the Chinese to cut off or
disrupt key aspects of the cross-strait relationship and analyzes the
challenges that China has faced in its efforts to convert this raw,
potential economic influence into effective political leverage. The
author argues that, while Taiwan’s growing dependence is a source
of genuine concern, China has encountered serious problems in
exploiting the economic weapon to coerce Taiwan. The monograph
closes by exploring the potential impact of cross-strait economic
diplomacy on U.S. policy interests in the Taiwan Strait. Online

Stealing the Sword: Limiting Terrorist Use of
Advanced Conventional Weapons. J. Bonomo, G. Bergamo, D.
174
Frelinger, J. Gordon, B. A. Jackson. 2007.
Part of a series examining the technology competition between
security organizations and terrorist organizations, this report
focuses on understanding how terrorist groups make technology
choices and consequently how the United States can discourage
their adoption of advanced conventional weapons. Five types of
advanced conventional weapons are identified that could provide
terrorists with a new and qualitatively different weapon capability:
sniper rifles, squad-level weapons, antitank missiles, large limpet
mines, and mortar systems. Two key methods of limiting the
threat from these systems in the hands of terrorists are explored:
raising awareness of the threat, and reducing the threat through
procedural and technical use controls. Technical use controls offer
the surest limitations on terrorist use, but are by far most practical
to incorporate when the system is in its design phase. GPS-guided
mortars are the most worrisome of the advanced conventional
weapons, attractive to terrorists and difficult to mitigate with only
awareness and procedural controls. Fortunately, these systems
are still in their design phase. For this reason, taking steps now
to control GPS-guided mortars is urgent. Two initial steps are
needed to begin placing additional procedural and technical use
controls on these precise, indirect fire weapons: begin diplomatic
discussions with the key producer nations to raise awareness of
potential terrorist use of these systems, and commission a detailed
technical study of the technical modules and architecture needed
to implement proposed technical controls. The U.S. Department of
Homeland Security (DHS) can play a key role in both these steps
by pushing to begin diplomatic discussions and by conducting
a detailed study, perhaps with the National Security Agency, of
the technical architecture for use controls. Additionally, DHS
should become a permanent member of the interagency panels
considering arms exports. The time to begin negotiating and
developing meaningful controls on GPS-guided mortars is now,
before the opportunity is lost. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

MG-518-AF Space Command Sustainment Review: Improving
the Balance Between Current and Future Capabilities. R. S. Tripp,
K. F. Lynch, S. Harrison, J. G. Drew, C. R. Roll. 2007.
The ability to access and continuously operate in space is vital to
the economic, social, and military interests of the United States.
In part because of sometimes-conflicting demands and in part
because space systems are highly specialized, sustainment can be a
challenge. To help Air Force Space Command meet this challenge,
the authors used a strategies-to-tasks framework to examine
AFSPC sustainment as a whole, working toward a commandwide
philosophy for space system support. The core of the philosophy
is separation of demand-side, supply-side, and integrator processes
and clear definition of roles and responsibilities at all levels of
the command. Its adoption can provide a basis for enhancing
processes, force development, doctrine, information systems, and
organization across the command that can be sustained over time
and through many leadership changes. The authors illustrate the
implementation and benefits using specific systems and units, some
of which have already demonstrated elements of this philosophy.

Programmed Depot Maintenance Capacity
Assessment Tool: Workloads, Capacity, and Availability. E. N.
Loredo, R. Pyles, D. Snyder. 2007.
Aging U.S. Air Force fleets have deterioration problems, resulting
in increased maintenance workloads. Nowhere are those increases
more troubling than in the workloads associated with programmed
depot maintenance (PDM), which can be significant, requiring
2,000 to 50,000 labor hours. RAND developed the PDM Capacity
Assessment Tool (PDMCAT), applied it to the KC-135 PDM
process, with three alternative forecasts of future workload and
two fleet-size scenarios, to inform aircraft availability and resource
allocation decisions. The PDMCAT forecasts the annual number
of aircraft that will be in PDM status over several decades, based
on the initial number of aircraft in work, the physical capacity of
the facility, the PDM induction policy, and the minimum handson flow time. Because few facilities will share information about
their individual processes, the PDMCAT uses direct observation to
estimate aircraft time in maintenance, such as number of docks for
conducting maintenance and recent measures of actual performance.
Using historical workload status, PDMCAT accurately reflected the
increase and subsequent decrease in the number of aircraft in PDM
status (i.e., maintenance), and it identified an alternative aircraft
induction interval plan to bring the surge in aircraft-in-work back
to acceptable levels through 2009. The model would mainly be
used to support fleet PDM planning, programming, and budgeting,
and to support facility and process improvement.

Sustaining Air Force Space Systems: A Model
for the Global Positioning System. D. Snyder, P. H. Mills, K.
Comanor, C. R. Roll. 2007.
Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) needs quantitative tools
to assist it in making decisions on how changes in the dollars
invested in maintenance and sustainment of the ground segment of
space systems affect the operational performance of those systems.
This monograph outlines criteria for analyzing how sustainment
investments affect the operational performance of space systems,
focusing on the Global Positioning System. The authors offer a
framework for such analyses and recommend steps to implement
that framework. The authors describe the Global Positioning
System at a level of detail needed for the analysis; discuss how
to approach modeling the relationships between sustainment
activities and overall system performance, and describe a pilot
model for such analysis; and the authors examine the results of
this model and how they might be used in policy analysis, and
discuss the implications for developing such models in GPS and
other programs. The authors selected a metric of performance that
reflects the overall system performance, and not one that focuses
on the performance of a specific subsystem. Online access: http://

Factors to Consider in Blending Active and
Reserve Manpower Within Military Units. H. Thie, R. J. Yardley,
P. Schirmer, R. H. Ehrenberg, P. Speed. 2007.
175
The Department of Defense has suggested that “blending” active
component and reserve component workforces in military units
must be implemented more broadly to better capitalize on the
capabilities and strengths of the reserve components, thus leading
to a more flexible, capable force. RAND researchers examined
existing organizational designs that facilitate integration of the
reserve and active workforces to ascertain whether changed
personnel management practices are needed to help implement
those organizational designs. They reviewed service reports and
directives and other relevant literature on the subject, including
the organizational change literature, and interviewed service
officials and subject matter experts. They conclude that workforce
integration efforts aimed at improving operational accomplishment
of mission, balancing operations tempo, and increasing capital
asset utilization would be more successful than efforts aimed at
other goals, such as resolving personnel management differences.
The authors recommend that adapting what works within a service
to other functional areas in the service is a better near-term
workforce integration strategy than replicating forms of integration
across services; that the services should provide policy guidance
for workforce integration; and that the services should consider
performing more evaluation of workforce integration against the
goals they have set out for it. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

Littoral Combat Ships: Relating Performance
to Mission Package Inventories, Homeports, and Installation Sites.
B. Alkire, J. L. Birkler, L. Dolan, J. Dryden, B. Mason, G. Lee, J.
F. Schank, M. Hayes. 2007.
The Navy’s Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) constitutes a new class of
fast, agile, and networked warships designed to overcome threats
in shallow waters posed by mines, diesel-electric submarines,
fast-attack craft, and fast inshore attack craft. The LCS Program
Office asked RAND to help it gain a clearer understanding
of operational, logistics, and cost trade-offs between three
interdependent elements of the program: the number of LCSs in
the fleet, the number of mission packages that those LCSs would
require in order to perform a range of missions, and the number
and locations of LCS homeports and mission package installation
sites. Alkire et al. worked closely with the Navy between January
and November 2005 to identify scenarios that define the use
and deployment of LCSs. Using these scenarios and a range of
LCS fleet sizes, the authors established baseline considerations
connected with developing and deploying a modular LCS. They
then developed a series of analytical tools to address the following
issues: Where are the optimum locations for LCS homeports and
mission package installation sites? How many mission packages
of each type should be procured and when? How many mission
packages of each type should be stored on available seaframes, at
homeports, and at mission package installation sites? What are the
costs of acquiring mission packages and facilities for homeports
and installation sites? What cost and performance trade-offs and
sensitivities occur with various combinations of the number of and
the types of mission packages? Online access: http://www.rand.

Liberia’s new government, under President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf,
has made security sector transformation a high priority. The
authors analyze Liberia’s complex security environment, set forth
an integrated security concept to guide the formation and use of
those forces and new institutions to manage them, and assemble
a complete security structure. They then develop specific forcestructure options and discuss the cost-effectiveness of each. Finally,
they suggest immediate steps toward implementation of the new
security structure. These include development and coordination of
detailed integrated force plans with the United States and the UN;
a design and plans for a small police quick-reaction unit and small
Coast Guard; attention to building court and corrections-system
capacity; and consolidation, reduction, and appropriate recruiting,
vetting, and training of the currently independent multiple police

What the Army Needs to Know to Align Its
Operational and Institutional Activities. F. A. Camm, C. R. Cook,
R. Masi, A. Wong. 2007.
As the U.S. Army transforms its operating force, inevitably the
institutional Army-the “generating force” that fills and sustains
the Army’s combat units-must change as well. The Army must
transform its institutional activities to (1) align them with operating
forces in ways that improve support, and (2) release resources
from institutional activities that the Army can use to add new
brigades and weapon systems. This document describes a way for
the Army leadership to negotiate and establish performance goals
for institutional activities that give the Army effective control over
the alignment of its operational and institutional elements while
preserving flexibility and initiative within institutional activities
to choose how to meet these goals. It assesses value chains to
map how the institutional Army transforms resources into outputs
that it delivers to the operating force to support desired outcomes,
and also illustrates how to evaluate value chains relevant to three
representative institutional Army activities: medical services,
enlisted accessioning, and short-term acquisition. It then derives
implications for (1) integrating such an approach with the Army’s
ongoing Strategic Management System and Lean Six Sigma
initiatives, and (2) identifying the additional empirical data needed
to allow such integration. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

A Methodology for Developing Army Acquisition
Strategies for an Uncertain Future. J. E. Peters, H. Bruce, M. V.
Hynes, B. Nichiporuk, C. Hanks, J. Fischbach. 2007.
This monograph addresses the following two specific questions:
What should a robust acquisition investment strategy look likeone designed to perform well against all anticipated threats? How
should the Army acquisition community assess the appropriateness
of its investment strategy over time? The study proposes adaptation
of a RAND tool called Assumption-Based Planning to help Army
personnel maintain proper alignment between strategic guidance
and the Army acquisition program and budget. It uses this tool to
create a model that recommends acquisition investments across
a broad range of capabilities. The model works toward the goal
of satisfying the complex and evolving requirements specified in
the national security guidance. The model applies five main steps,
by identifying (1) the assumptions that underlie Army acquisition
policy; (2) load-bearing assumptions, i.e., important assumptions
that underpin and shape Army acquisition plans; (3) signposts or
indicators that an assumption is becoming vulnerable; (4) shaping
actions that can be taken to keep assumptions viable, and (5)
hedging actions that can be taken to prepare for unwelcome but
unpreventable developments. For the acquisitions community,
shaping and hedging actions both take the form of investments.

MG-533-ANF/WPF/SDP State Takeover, School Restructuring,
Private Management, and Student Achievement in Philadelphia.
B. P. Gill, R. W. Zimmer, J. Christman, S. Blanc. 2007.
In 2002, after years of low achievement and budget crises in the
School District of Philadelphia, the state of Pennsylvania launched a
takeover of the district. Subsequent to the state takeover, the district
adopted what is known as the “diverse provider” model, turning
over the management of some of the lowest-achieving schools to
for-profit and nonprofit organizations and two local universities
and providing additional resources to the private managers.
Philadelphia became a test case for the private management of
public schools and other interventions sanctioned by the No
Child Left Behind Act. State Takeover, School Restructuring,
Private Management, and Student Achievement in Philadelphia
examines achievement effects in the privately managed schools
and in two groups of schools given special support under district
management, in the context of districtwide achievement trends.
Four years after the state takeover, achievement results across
Philadelphia had risen substantially. Within Philadelphia, the
schools managed by private providers were doing neither better
nor worse than districtwide achievement trends. District-managed
schools given additional resources but no specific intervention
were likewise doing about as well as other schools in the district.
In contrast, district-managed schools given additional resources
and a “restructuring”intervention showed larger achievement
gains in mathematics. Online access: http://www.rand.org/pubs/

MG-538-A Supporting Training Strategies for Brigade Combat
Teams Using Future Combat Systems (FCS) Technologies. M. G.
Shanley, J. C. Crowley, M. W. Lewis, R. Masi, K. Leuschner, S. G.
Straus, J. P. Angers. 2007.
This study seeks to help the Army identify options to improve its
future (i.e., circa 2016) training strategies for Brigade Combat
Teams (BCTs) equipped with Future Combat System (FCS)
technologies. Key findings are that live training will need to remain
at the core of training programs for FCS units, and that adaptation
to changing operational requirements will be a primary training
challenge. Overall, the findings indicate that planned training
enhancements can provide important improvements across a wide
spectrum; however, the overall training capability achieved will
likely be less than that needed to meet future training requirements.
Unit time, the potential for technological advancement, and
training budgets were found to be key constraints. While the study
stresses greater emphasis on training manpower support in battle
command training as the Army’s best chance for significant nearterm improvement, it concludes that longer-term improvement
will depend on how closely the Army monitors and manages its
enhancement programs. The process of shaping and balancing
future training enhancements, for example, would benefit from
better information and improved evaluative capabilities. These
changes would be further enhanced by developing better metrics
for the quality, quantity, and adaptability of training, by continuing
to improve spiral development processes to evolve training
methods and means, and by improving the visibility of financial
information across training categories. Online access: http://www.

MG-539-AF Supporting the Future Total Force: A Methodology
for Evaluating Potential Air National Guard Mission Assignments.
K. F. Lynch, J. G. Drew, S. Sleeper, W. A. Williams, J. Masters, L.
Luangkesorn, R. S. Tripp, D. Lichter, C. R. Roll. 2007.
Manpower end-strength reductions of active duty personnel in
the U.S. Air Force are making it more difficult to support the
air and space expeditionary force construct using current force
employment practices. The Air National Guard (ANG), however,
will not undergo significant manpower reductions but will be
affected by plans that call for the retirement of a significant number
177
of its aircraft, leaving it with a large number of highly trained,
highly experienced personnel with no aircraft to operate and
support. The authors develop a methodology to evaluate missions
that could be transferred from the active component to the ANG
without significant cost to the total force. They conclude that four
areas-Predator operations and support, air mobility command
and control, Commander of Air Force forces staffing, and baselevel intermediate maintenance-are missions that could benefit
from ANG assignment. Online access: http://www.rand.org/pubs/

Air Force Enlisted Force Management: System
Interactions and Synchronization Strategies. M. Schiefer, A. A.
Robbert, L. A. Galway, R. E. Stanton, C. San. 2007.
A fundamental goal of the Air Force personnel system is to
ensure that the manpower inventory, by Air Force specialty code
and grade, matches requirements. However, there are structural
obstacles that impede achieving this goal. The three major
independently managed systems the Air Force uses to determine
manpower strength currently tend to function in isolation. Because
the current organizational structure lacks broad coordinating and
control mechanisms, actions taken to control one system often
adversely affect another. The authors lay the foundation for a
discussion of policy changes that would better synchronize these
systems. They propose a methodology that would marginally
modify grade authorizations within skill levels to make it possible
to better achieve manpower targets. Each specialty would retain
the same number of authorizations within each skill level, and
the aggregate solution would maintain the same total number of
enlisted authorizations by grade. This would help the manpower
community follow the policy of equal selection opportunity while
also taking personnel management system capabilities into account.

MG-544-AF Why the Iraqi Resistance to the Coalition Invasion
Was So Weak. S. T. Hosmer. 2007.
Coalition forces in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) were able to
take down Saddam Hussein’s regime in less than three weeks, at
the cost of relatively few Coalition casualties. This monograph
draws upon information derived primarily from interviews with
and interrogations of senior Iraqi military and civilian officials to
examine why the Iraqi resistance in March and April 2003 was so
weak. The research focused on two questions: (1) Why did the Iraqi
Regular Army and Republican Guard forces do so little fighting?
and (2) Why did Iraqi leaders fail to adopt certain defensive
measures that would have made the Coalition’s task more difficult
and costly? These two questions encompass a number of related
issues. The monograph examines the battlefield consequences of
Saddam Hussein’s strategic misjudgments and preoccupation with
internal threats; the poorly designed and executed Iraqi military
strategy and operations; the weak motivation and morale that
permeated all ranks of the Iraqi military; and the superiority in
combat capability enjoyed by the Coalition forces. It concludes
with observations about why decisionmakers should be careful
about the lessons they may seek to draw from OIF; how OIF
paved the way for the insurgency that has followed in Iraq; and
how OIF may influence the behavior of future U.S. adversaries.
The monograph is intended for the use of military and civilian
officials concerned with the management, planning, and conduct
of U.S. operations to deter and counter threats to U.S. interests
from enemy regimes and other hostile actors. Online access: http://

MG-545-AF Advancing the U.S. Air Force’s Force-Development
Initiative. S. C. Moore, M. K. Brauner. 2007.
A mismatch in the late 1990s between the qualifications needed
for key general officer positions and the backgrounds of available
candidates stimulated RAND research and then an extensive U.S.
Air Force effort to improve the development of future senior leaders.
In the past, most officers were managed within their career fields
and were too narrowly specialized. This monograph summarizes
the force development initiative’s history and related research
efforts that (a) identified colonel positions’ needs for multiple
(paired) occupational skills and set targets for the numbers of
officers who should acquire those skills before they are promoted
to colonel and (b) illustrated a four-step approach that can create
notably more specific developmental targets for officers at grades
from lieutenant through colonel within an occupation or career
field. The four steps are as follows: (1) identify and prioritize the
types of experience, education, and training that should precede
each category of job (identify the demand, at least for the jobs
in the field grades-major, lieutenant colonel, and colonel), now
and in the future; (2) ascertain the backgrounds that officers have
accumulated (assess the supply); (3) compare supply with demand
(gap analysis); and (4) plan ways to close the gaps. These ideas
suggest steps that could improve the efficiency and effectiveness of
force development for Air Force officers, the enlisted and civilian
forces, and the reserve components. Online access: http://www.

MG-551-JFCOM Counterinsurgency in a Test Tube: Analyzing
the Success of the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands
(RAMSI). R. W. Glenn. 2007.
With a matter of weeks to prepare, Regional Assistance Mission
to Solomon Islands (RAMSI) personnel landed on July 24, 2003,
armed for conflict but equally ready to restore peace without firing
a shot in anger. RAMSI’s aim was to assist the existing government
in reestablishing order and rebuilding this island nation plagued by
escalating militia violence, crime, and corruption. RAMSI police
forces, with the much larger military component in a supporting
role, were patrolling the streets alongside their Solomon Islands
counterparts on the very day of arrival. This and many other early
actions on the part of RAMSI leadership presented a clear and
cohesive message that would characterize operations from that day
forward: RAMSI had not come to take charge through the use of
force, though it had the capability to do so; it had come to assist
and protect. This study reviews the remarkable successes, and the
few admitted shortcomings, of RAMSI operations through the lens
of broader application to current and future counterinsurgency
efforts. Foremost among these lessons is the need for consistency of
mission and message from leadership down to the lowest echelons
of an operation, ensuring that the population is appropriately and
consistently informed. Online access: http://www.rand.org/pubs/

The Benefits of and Barriers to Sharing Geospatial Data Assets. B.
E. Lachman, P. Schirmer, D. Frelinger, V. A. Greenfield, M. Tseng,
T. Nichols. 2007.
This report assesses the effects of using and sharing installations and
environment geospatial data assets within and across the business,
warfighting, and intelligence mission areas of the Department of
Defense (DoD) Global Information Grid. The authors found that
the assets have diverse beneficial effects and support a wide range
of missions, including installation and environmental management,
training, homeland security, military health, and warfighting
operations and planning. Common benefits include time savings,
cost savings, cost avoidance, improved situational awareness, more
effective communications, and improved operations, planning,
and decisionmaking. The authors also developed a methodology
for assessing the effects of sharing these assets. Despite the many
benefits of sharing these assets, significant barriers exist to doing
so. These barriers include security concerns, different information
technology systems, lack of communication between diverse
functional organizations, and insufficient data sharing policies
and standards. A comprehensive appendix presents more than 130
examples of how geospatial data assets enable missions at different
organizational levels. Finally, the authors offer recommendations
for ways to help DoD overcome barriers to geospatial data
asset use and sharing. Online access: http://www.rand.org/pubs/

Indefinite Reenlistment and Noncommissioned
Officers. L. L. Miller, J. S. Moini, S. Sivadasan, J. Kavanagh, M.
Shergold, R. Plasmeijer. 2007.
In 1998, following congressional approval, the U.S. Army shifted
its senior enlisted force from a fixed contract system to indefinite
reenlistment, theoretically increasing the prestige of senior
noncommissioned officers (NCOs) by recognizing them as career
soldiers. The Army program requires all soldiers reaching the rank
of E-6 with ten years of service to reenlist indefinitely, mirroring the
management of officers and eliminating reenlistment paperwork.
The Army has been the only service to adopt this program. This
study analyzes past and present arguments for and against this
policy made by service representatives, policymakers, and enlisted
personnel. Reservations about the program include concerns that
force planning could be complicated by the unpredictability of
NCO separation dates, that the quality of the NCO corps could
decline without reenlistment screening, and that retention and
morale could suffer with the loss of reenlistment bonuses and other
benefits. The intended program boost to NCO morale does not
appear to have been realized. This report concludes that neither the
costs nor benefits of indefinite reenlistment are strong enough to
merit a change in policy for either the Army or the other services.
An appendix provides an overview of indefinite reenlistment
programs in other Western nations. Online access: http://www.

Finding the Balance Between Schoolhouse and
On-the-Job Training. T. Manacapilli, A. Bailey, C. M. Beighley,
B. Bennett, A. Bower. 2007.
The Air Force typically trains 30,000 to 40,000 new airmen in some
300 specialties each year. It utilizes two methods for training its
enlistees: centralized initial skills training (IST, or “schoolhouse”
training) and decentralized on-the-job training (OJT). All too often,
only IST costs are considered when “pricing” training, seriously
underestimating the overall cost to train an airman. When all the
costs are considered, including those of OJT, decisions related to
the length of IST can be better informed. To determine the most
179
cost-effective combination of IST and OJT, the authors developed
a methodology based on a cost-benefit analysis of seven Air
Force specialties. From a statistical analysis of data taken from
surveys of senior enlisted personnel, they were able to assess how
productivity changes when IST course length changes and to make
recommendations concerning the IST course lengths that would
produce the most productive airmen for the least possible cost.

The Beginner’s Guide to Nation-Building. J.
Dobbins, S. G. Jones, K. Crane, B. C. DeGrasse. 2007.
Since the end of the Cold War, the United States, NATO, the
United Nations, and a range of other states and nongovernmental
organizations have become increasingly involved in nationbuilding operations. Nation-building involves the use of armed
force as part of a broader effort to promote political and economic
reforms, with the objective of transforming a society emerging
from conflict into one at peace with itself and its neighbors. This
guidebook is a practical “how-to” manual on the conduct of effective
nation-building. It is organized around the constituent elements
that make up any nation-building mission: military, police, rule
of law, humanitarian relief, governance, economic stabilization,
democratization, and development. The chapters describe how
each of these components should be organized and employed,
how much of each is likely to be needed, and the likely cost. The
lessons are drawn principally from 16 U.S.- and UN-led nationbuilding operations since World War II and from a forthcoming
study on European-led missions. In short, this guidebook presents
a comprehensive history of best practices in nation-building and
serves as an indispensable reference for the preplanning of future
interventions and for contingency planning on the ground. Online

Analyzing Contingency Contracting Purchases
for Operation Iraqi Freedom (Unrestricted Version). L. H. Baldwin,
J. A. Ausink, N. Campbell, J. G. Drew, C. R. Roll. 2007.
In contingency operations, U.S. Air Force contingency contracting
officers (CCOs) play a vital role in the procurement of goods
and services within the theater of operations. The motivation
for this study was twofold: The contracting community lacked
a comprehensive database of contingency purchases that would
enable analyses of purchases related to mission activities, and
such analyses would prove important in future decisionmaking.
This study examines contingency purchases for Operation Iraqi
Freedom made in theater during fiscal years 2003 and 2004 and
develops a custom database to determine the extent of contractor
support and how plans for the organization and execution of
contingency activities might be improved to better support the
warfighter in future operations. The baseline analysis details the
relevant purchasing organizations, the types of goods and services
purchased, the timing and methods of purchase, and the important
suppliers. Two case studies related to specific purchases and the
demands on CCOs show that a contingency contracting database
can be a powerful and useful analytic tool. Recommendations
are made for the establishment of a standardized methodology
(including specific data fields) for collecting contingency
contracting data on an ongoing basis to facilitate planning and
policy decisions associated with CCO staffing and training,
combat support planning, and sharing of lessons within the theater
for future contingencies. Online access: http://www.rand.org/pubs/

Peters. 2007.
Ungoverned territories-failed or failing states or ungoverned areas
within otherwise viable states-generate all manner of security
problems and can become terrorist sanctuaries. Using a twotiered framework areas applied to eight case studies from around
the globe, the authors seek to understand the conditions that give
rise to ungoverned territories and what makes some ungoverned
territories more conducive to a terrorist or insurgent presence than
others. On the basis of this ground-breaking analytical work, they
identify three types of ungoverned territories and their effects on
U.S. security interests and develop strategies to improve the U.S.
ability to mitigate these effects. Online access: http://www.rand.

A Capabilities-Based Strategy for Army Security
Cooperation. J. D. P. Moroney, A. Grissom, J. P. Marquis. 2007.
U.S. Army planners working on the problem of multinational force
compatibility require a planning framework to guide and focus the
service’s long-term compatibility investments with partner armies
of varying capabilities. This report defines and describes such a
framework, called the Niche Capability Planning Framework.
It provides a conceptual template for integrating the various
considerations, ranging from U.S. Army capability gaps, to the
politics of collaborating with foreign armies, to the coordination
of Army and Department of Defense security cooperation
activities, implicit in a strategy for cultivating compatible niche
capabilities in non-core partner armies, which lack a stable, longterm, collaborative program of assistance with the U.S. Army. The
report concludes with specific recommendations for implementing
the Niche Capability Planning framework, which should, at a
minimum, incorporate analyses of projected Army capability gaps,
key partner characteristics, and the resources required to match
capabilities with partners in a systematic way. Online access:

Airlift Capabilities for Future U.S.
Counterinsurgency Operations. R. C. Owen, K. P. Mueller.
2007.
Current and probable future United States involvement in
counterinsurgencies revives a long-standing debate about whether
these missions call for adding specialized aircraft, training, or other
resources to the general military airlift fleet. The authors examine
the use of airlift in past and present counterinsurgency operations,
including the Foreign Internal Defense program. They conclude that
general U.S. airlift forces can accomplish most counterinsurgency
180
missions effectively, with adjustments in employment doctrines
and training. However, they also note that continued operations
likely will require reinforcement of the general airlift fleet and,
perhaps, acquisition of a small fleet element optimized for certain
counterinsurgency missions. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

“Working Around the Military” Revisited:
Spouse Employment in the 2000 Census Data. N. Lim, D.
Golinelli, M. Cho. 2007.
Previous studies have shown that military wives-women married to
U.S. military service members-are more likely to be unemployed
and earning less than their civilian counterparts. But these studies
rely on information that is somewhat dated, and they have little
to say about military husbands. This study revisits the gaps in
employment and earnings between military and civilian wives
using the 2000 census, and extends these analyses to include
military husbands. Military spouses continue to be at a relative
disadvantage in the labor market compared with civilian spouses.
Even though policies that target demographic disparities such as
mobility, location, and child care may reduce the gaps to a certain
extent, they will not affect the portion attributable to unobserved
factors that are not captured in the census data, such as employer’s
attitude. Online access: http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/

MG-567-AF U.S.-China Relations After Resolution of Taiwan’s
Status. R. Cliff, D. A. Shlapak. 2007.
Although the question of Taiwan’s status is unlikely to be resolved
soon, considering the various possible outcomes and how they
might affect U.S.-China relations is useful. A total of ten distinct
trajectories for the resolution of the cross-strait relationship can
be identified, with greatly varying implications for U.S.-China
relations. Unsurprisingly, the impact of peaceful outcomes,
including continued peaceful irresolution, is both more predictable
and generally better for relations between Washington and
Beijing. If China uses force against Taiwan, however, subsequent
U.S.-China relations could fall anywhere from close cooperation
to hostile cold war. Both how the Taiwan issue is resolved and
the nature of subsequent U.S.-China relations will largely be
determined by the nature of China’s government: a democratic,
or, at least, highly pragmatic Chinese government is more likely
to achieve a peaceful resolution; a government still controlled by
the Chinese Communist Party is less likely to do so. As China’s
military capabilities grow, it will become increasingly difficult but
also increasingly more important to prevent Beijing from using
force to bring about unification. Online access: http://www.rand.

Measuring the Statutory and Regulatory
Constraints on Department of Defense Acquisition: An Empirical
Analysis. J. A. Drezner, I. Blickstein, R. Raman, M. McKernan,
M. Hertzman, M. Bradley, D. Gavrieli, B. Eastwood. 2007.
Managers of weapon system acquisition programs and their staffs
have often voiced concerns about the burden of complying with
federal statutes or regulations requiring certain business and
oversight processes. The essence of the concerns is that program
offices spend an inordinate amount of time complying with statutes
and regulations that add little value, and that the regulatory burden
translates into cost increases, schedule delays, and adverse effects
on system performance. While many other studies have addressed
this topic, few have succeeded in generating the empirical
evidence needed to inform the policy debate. To fill this gap, NDRI
developed a Web-based data collection tool to capture the program
staff’s estimates of hours spent on compliance efforts. A total of
316 individuals in seven DoD program offices were recruited
to use the web tool to estimate biweekly the time they spent on
regulatory compliance-related activities over the course of a year.
While statutes and regulations do place constraints on program
execution, the study found that program office staffs do not appear
to spend a significant amount of their time complying with those
statutes and regulations. Further, there is little evidence that
program office compliance activities have adverse consequences
for program outcomes. Online access: http://www.rand.org/pubs/

Developing Tailored Supply Strategies. N. Y.
Purchased goods and services are an increasingly large proportion
of public and private enterprise budgets. Various enterprises have
therefore developed more or less successful supply strategies. This
monograph draws lessons from their experiences for the Air Force
and the Department of Defense by synthesizing academic, business,
and professional literature. The authors offer a series of steps for
analyzing spending, segmenting it into major commodity groups
based on value to the enterprise and vulnerability, prioritizing
these groups for purchasing and supply management efforts, and
developing and executing purchasing strategies for them. Both the
initial segmentation of commodity groups and the development of
supply strategies for them involve use of cross-functional teams
comprising experts in the commodity and its uses, as well as other
stakeholders. The authors describe the makeup of these teams and
their tasks and goals. Finally, the authors note that, although some
activities are common to most supply strategies, no one process
is likely to fit all enterprises and commodities. An approach that
delivers the most rewards to the enterprise will require extensive
analysis. Online access: http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/

Building Moderate Muslim Networks. A.
Rabasa, C. Benard, L. Schwartz, P. Sickle. 2007.
Radical and dogmatic interpretations of Islam have gained ground
in recent years in many Muslim societies via extensive Islamist
networks spanning the Muslim world and the Muslim diaspora
communities of North America and Europe. Although a majority
throughout the Muslim world, moderates have not developed similar
networks to amplify their message and to provide protection from
violence and intimidation. With considerable experience fostering
networks of people committed to free and democratic ideas during
the Cold War, the United States has a critical role to play in leveling
181
the playing field for Muslim moderates. The authors derive lessons
from the U.S. and allied Cold War network-building experience,
determine their applicability to the current situation in the Muslim
world, assess the effectiveness of U.S. government programs of
engagement with the Muslim world, and develop a “road map”
to foster the construction of moderate Muslim networks. Online

Civilian Health Insurance Options of Military
Retirees: Findings from a Pilot Survey. L. T. Mariano, S. N. Kirby,
C. Eibner, S. Naftel. 2007.
The Department of Defense (DoD) provides health benefits to
qualified retired service personnel. Active duty personnel who
retire with at least 20 years of service are immediately eligible to
receive retiree health benefits for themselves, their spouses, and
dependent children through TRICARE, the DoD-sponsored health
care plan. A substantial majority of retirees have second careers
after retirement and have access to civilian health insurance.
However, many choose to rely primarily on TRICARE, in large
part because of the significant price differential between TRICARE
and civilian insurance. In order to understand the implications
of this reliance for DoD health care expenditures, DoD asked
RAND to explore the available civilian health insurance options
of working-age military retirees and the impact of those options on
TRICARE utilization. The authors surveyed a random sample of
1,600 military retirees (officers and enlisted personnel) under age
65 who were entitled to TRICARE benefits. This pilot survey was
designed to ask about the current employment of the retiree and his
or her spouse, participation in a civilian health insurance plan, use
of TRICARE for medical care, and the likely effect of premium
increases or decreases on participation in civilian heath plans. Key
findings showed that although a large majority of retirees have
access to civilian health insurance, many choose not to enroll,
most frequently citing the cost of premiums. Among those enrolled
in civilian plans, many still rely on TRICARE for medical care
and prescription drugs, and many would drop their civilian plans if
costs rose substantially. As long as DoD premiums are considerably
lower than civilian premiums, a shift away from TRICARE use is
unlikely. A larger survey, collecting data from retirees and their
civilian employers, would be needed for DoD to analyze the effects
of benefit design changes to TRICARE on retiree reliance. Online

Estimating the Benefits of the Air Force
Purchasing and Supply Chain Management Initiative. J. Arkes,
M. E. Chenoweth. 2007.
One of the tools the Air Force is using to improve its logistical
support to the warfighter is purchasing and supply-chain
management (PSCM). But other factors likely were changing at
about the same time, which might influence the relationship of
the PSCM initiative to the supply chain’s ability to support the
warfighter. To evaluate whether PSCM is doing what it is intended
to do, and how well, it is necessary to control for these other factors
that may be influencing its outcomes. The authors have taken a step
in that direction by developing an econometric model that isolates
certain identifiable factors and holds them constant as a means of
separating their effects from PSCM. They illustrate their model by
analyzing the relationship between PSCM and Mission Capable
(MICAP) incidents. The authors considered several different
factors but found data availability and quality to be a challenge.
However, the model may be useful both with other factors and for
estimating the benefits of other initiatives. Online access: http://

Recruitment and Retention: Lessons for the New
Orleans Police Department. B. Rostker, W. M. Hix, J. M. Wilson.
2007.
Since Hurricane Katrina, resignations from the New Orleans
Police Department (NOPD) have increased, and the department
went more than a year without recruiting enough candidates to
justify a police academy training course. The authors present
practical recommendations for change that could help the NOPD
improve recruiting and retention. Issues addressed include the
lack of affordable post-Katrina housing, the fact that the families
of many police officers no longer live in the New Orleans area,
the destroyed departmental infrastructure, and a budget that does
not provide enough resources to meet basic needs. They focus
on compensation, including housing; the promotion process and
the career management system; recruiting; the mix of officers
and civilians; and ways to improve the morale of the NOPD. The
recommendations, which are specifically tailored to the unique
circumstances of the NOPD, include (1) using civilian employees,
where appropriate, for jobs currently being performed by uniformed
officers; (2) developing a proactive recruiting program; (3) offering
some of the city’s housing stock in-kind to police officers or selling
the property and using the proceeds to improve compensation; (4)
increasing the frequency of promotion examinations; (5) eliminating
the backlog of promotions to higher levels in the department; (6)
restructuring compensation to attract recruits and retain serving
officers; (7) establishing a first-responders charter school; and (8)
rebuilding the police infrastructure to improve morale.

Identifying Fraud, Abuse, and Error in Personal
Bankruptcy Filings. N. Clancy, S. J. Carroll. 2007.
The U.S. Trustee Program (USTP) is the component of the U.S.
Department of Justice (DOJ) whose mission includes promoting
the integrity and efficiency of the bankruptcy system by enforcing
bankruptcy laws. Among its responsibilities is identifying fraud,
abuse, and error in personal bankruptcy filings. Currently, precise
figures on the prevalence of fraud, abuse, and error in personal
bankruptcy filings do not exist. USTP asked the RAND Corporation
to assist it in thinking about how to better identify and measure
fraud, abuse, and error in personal bankruptcies. RAND looked for
lessons learned from other government programs and the private
sector in detecting fraud and abuse; processes transferable to
USTP; indicators USTP could develop of fraud, abuse, and error;
ways to estimate their prevalence; and ways to develop data and
knowledge for future identification systems. The authors conclude
that a data-enabled case filing system, incorporating lessons from
the IRS and GSA as well as the private sector, may be the direction
182
for the future of the bankruptcy court system. Online access: http://

Insurance Class Actions in the United States.
N. M. Pace, S. J. Carroll, I. Vogelsang, L. Zakaras. 2007.
Class actions, which are civil cases in which parties initiate a
lawsuit on behalf of other plaintiffs not specifically named in the
complaint, often make the headlines, especially when they result
in settlements affecting millions of class members and requiring
millions of dollars in restitution. They have also aroused vocal
policy debates, as exemplified during the deliberations of the U.S.
Congress prior to the enactment of the Class Action Fairness Act
of 2005. But despite this long-standing interest, policymakers and
the public know very little about the majority of class actions filed
in this country-their numbers, their dynamics, or their outcomes.
RAND used a defendant-based survey to collect original data on
both state and federal insurance class actions, and also surveyed
state departments of insurance to learn more about the interests
of regulators in the issues litigated by the parties in these cases.
This book presents the results. With these data, we are able to
describe important characteristics of the litigation, including what
types of classes are sought, where these cases are being filed, what
allegations are made, how these cases are resolved, how much
time it takes to bring them to resolution, and the possible impact of
the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005. Online access: http://www.

Is Weapon System Cost Growth Increasing?
A Quantitative Assessment of Completed and Ongoing Programs.
O. Younossi, M. V. Arena, R. S. Leonard, C. R. Roll, A. K. Jain, J.
M. Sollinger. 2007.
In recent decades, there have been numerous attempts to rein in
the cost growth of U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition
programs. Cost growth is the ratio of the cost estimate reported in
a program’s final Selected Acquisition Report (SAR) and the costestimate baseline reported in a prior SAR issued at a particular
milestone. Drawing on prior RAND research, new analyses of
completed and ongoing weapon system programs, and data drawn
from SARs, this study addresses the following questions: What
is the cost growth of DoD weapon systems? What has been the
trend of cost growth over the past three decades? To address the
magnitude of cost growth, it examines cost growth in completed
programs; to evaluate the cost growth trend over time, it provides
additional analysis of a selection of ongoing programs. This
sample of ongoing programs permits a look at growth trends in the
more recent past. Changes in the mix of system types over time
and dollar-weighted analysis were also considered because earlier
studies have suggested that cost growth varies by program type
and the cost of the program. The findings suggest that development
cost growth over the past three decades has remained high and
without any significant improvement. Online access: http://www.

Left Behind: Experiences of Teachers and Administrators in Three
States. L. S. Hamilton, B. M. Stecher, J. A. Marsh, J. S. McCombs,
A. E. Robyn, J. L. Russell, S. Naftel, H. Barney. 2007.
Since 2001–2002, standards-based accountability (SBA)
provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) have
shaped the work of public school teachers and administrators in
the United States. NCLB requires each state to develop content
and achievement standards in several subjects, administer tests to
measure students’ progress toward these standards, develop targets
for performance on these tests, and impose a series of interventions
on schools and districts that do not meet the targets. Many states
had such systems in place before NCLB took effect, but, since
2001-2002, every state in the United States has had to develop and
implement an SBA system that met the requirements of the law,
and its provisions have affected every public school and district in
the nation. This book sheds light on how accountability policies
have influenced attitudes and been translated into actions at the
district, school, and classroom levels in three states, with a focus on
mathematics and science. SBA is leading to an increased emphasis
on student achievement, and many educators laud this focus, but a
single-minded emphasis on student proficiency on tests has some
potentially negative consequences such as narrowing curriculum
and declining staff morale. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

Assessing the Assignment Policy for Army
Women. M. C. Harrell, L. W. Castaneda, P. Schirmer, B. W.
Hallmark, J. Kavanagh, D. Gershwin, P. Steinberg. 2007.
The current U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) policy for
assigning military women was issued in 1994, and the U.S. Army’s
assignment policy dates to 1992. In the ensuing years, the U.S.
Army has undergone significant technological and organizational
transformation, which has changed how it organizes and fights.
There is concern that, in the course of operations in Iraq, the Army
has not been adhering to its own assignment policy, as there are
several important and potentially problematic differences between
the DoD and Army policies. For example, the DoD policy prohibits
the assignment of women to units whose primary mission is direct
combat, whereas the Army policy prohibits the assignment of
women to units with a routine mission of direct combat, and their
definitions of direct combat differ. The research finds that the Army
is adhering to the DoD assignment policy but may not be complying
with the separate Army assignment policy for women. Assessing
the Assignment Policy for Army Women serves to inform DoD
decisionmaking with regard to the clarity and appropriateness of
the current DoD and Army assignment policies, especially given
how units are operating in Iraq. Online access: http://www.rand.

Hospital-Based Integrative Medicine: A
Case Study of the Barriers and Factors Facilitating the Creation of

Current integrative medicine practices in hospital settings involve
some form of partnership between complementary and alternative
medicine and biomedicine. This five-year study adopted a

longitudinal methodology to track the establishment of a single
hospital-based Integrative Medicine Center. Using extensive
qualitative interview data, the project staff conducted a stakeholder
analysis of all participants involved in the establishment and
continuation of the Integrative Medicine Center and collected data
from hospital documents, patient files, patient questionnaires and
provider questionnaires. Although some factors clearly worked in
favor of the center, the hospital had few models to guide it and no
experience in creating such a clinic. Thus, it made many decisions
in the areas of administration, finance, and legal issues that created
barriers to the center’s success, and the center was ultimately
closed. Online access: http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/

Talking to the Enemy: Track Two Diplomacy
in the Middle East and South Asia. D. D. Kaye. 2007.
This monograph examines regional, multilateral track two
dialogues in the Middle East and South Asia that are focused on
arms control and other cooperative security measures. Unofficial
policy discourse, or track two diplomacy, is an increasingly
important part of the changing international security landscape,
with the potential to raise new ideas and solutions to conflicts that,
over time, may influence official policy. Talking to the Enemy
considers how track two efforts in South Asia and the Middle East
have socialized participants into thinking about security in more
cooperative terms, and whether the ideas generated in track two
forums have been acknowledged at the societal level or influenced
official policy. Comparing the two regions, Kaye finds that South
Asian dialogues, on Kashmir and other regional issues, have been
more somewhat more effective than track two efforts in the Middle
East, where lack of progress on official Arab-Israeli peace talks has
also hindered unofficial regional dialogues. The author concludes
with assessments of regional security trajectories in both regions,
particularly proliferation dynamics, as well as suggestions on how
to improve future track two efforts. Online access: http://www.

Networked Forces in Stability Operations:
101st Airborne Division, 3/2 and 1/25 Stryker Brigades in Northern
Iraq. D. Gonzales, J. Hollywood, J. M. Sollinger, J. McFadden, J.
DeJarnette, S. Harting, D. Temple. 2007.
The Stryker brigade, one of the Army’s newest units, has a full
complement of Army digital networked communications and
battle command systems. An important issue for the Department
of Defense and the Army is whether these networking capabilities
translate into an information advantage and, if so, whether that
advantage results in greater mission effectiveness in stability
operations. To answer those two questions, the authors compare
three units that operated in the same area in Iraq’s northern
provinces between 2003 and 2005: the 101st Airborne Division
(ABD) (which had only limited digital communications
capabilities), the 3/2 Stryker brigade combat team (SBCT), and
the 1/25 SBCT. Overall, the 1/25 SBCT and 101st ABD performed
best in the stability phase in northern Iraq. They were particularly
effective in social networking with the local populace and civilian
leaders. The 3/2 SBCT did not perform as well as the 1/25 SBCT,
even though it was equipped with some of the same digital
networking capabilities. Some of the tactics it employed, such as
indiscriminate sweeps, widened the gulf between coalition forces
and the local populace. Although networking technologies confer
obvious benefits, the authors conclude that command leadership,
training, and the processes employed in stability operations are
just as important for improving mission effectiveness in stability
operations. Online access: http://www.rand.org/pubs/monographs/

failed to exploit information power, which could be a U.S.
advantage but instead is being used advantageously by insurgents.
Because insurgency and counterinsurgency involve a battle for
the allegiance of a population between a government and an
armed opposition movement, the key to exploiting information
power is to connect with and learn from the population itself,
increasing the effectiveness of both the local government and
the U.S. military and civilian services engaged in supporting it.
Utilizing mostly available networking technology, the United
States could achieve early, affordable, and substantial gains in
the effectiveness of counterinsurgency by more open, integrated,
and inclusive information networking with the population, local
authorities, and coalition partners. The most basic information
link with the population would be an information technology (IT)enhanced, fraud-resistant registry-census. The most promising
link would come from utilizing local cell phone networks,
which are proliferating even among poor countries. Access to
data routinely collected by such networks can form the basis for
security services such as enhanced-911 and forensics. The cell
phones of a well-wired citizenry can be made tantamount to sensor
fields in settled areas. They can link indigenous forces with each
other and with U.S. forces without interoperability problems; they
can also track the responses of such forces to emergencies. Going
further, outfitting weaponry with video cameras would bolster
surveillance, provide lessons learned, and guard against operator
misconduct. Establishing a national Wiki can help citizens describe
their neighborhoods to familiarize U.S. forces with them and can
promote accountable service delivery. All such information can
improve counterinsurgency operations by making U.S. forces and
agencies far better informed than they are at present. The authors
argue that today’s military and intelligence networks-being closed,
compartmentalized, controlled by information providers instead of
users, and limited to U.S. war fighters-hamper counterinsurgency
and deprive the United States of what ought to be a strategic
advantage. In contrast, based on a review of 160 requirements
for counterinsurgency, the authors call for current networks to be
replaced by an integrated counterinsurgency operating network
(ICON) linking U.S. and indigenous operators, based on principles
of inclusiveness, integration, and user preeminence. Utilizing the
proposed ways of gathering information from the population,
184
ICON would improve the timeliness, reliability, and relevance of
information, while focusing security restrictions on truly sensitive
information. The complexity and sensitivity of counterinsurgency
call for vastly better use of IT than has been seen in Iraq and
Afghanistan. Here is a practical plan for just that. Online access:

Absorbing and Developing Qualified Fighter
Pilots: The Role of the Advanced Simulator. R. Marken, W. W.
Taylor, J. A. Ausink, L. M. Hanser, C. R. Anderegg, L. Wickman.
2007.
What does an individual need to be considered an experienced fighter
pilot? The current formal definition is based on how many flying
hours a person has, but in practice, the question is more complex
and sometimes subjective because an individual requires different
kinds of experience for combat positions and staff positions. The
authors surveyed training experts to discover practical bases for
judgments about the experience needed for different jobs. For flying
positions, they found that time in advanced simulators is now also
considered to be an important component of experience. Upgrade
levels (say, from wingman to flight lead) and types of sorties flown
are factors for both flying and staff positions. The results suggest
that it is time for the Air Force to consider revising the view that
a pilot is experienced or not is based only on the number of hours
flown. The Air Force needs to measure and credit different types
of experience-including time spent in advanced simulator systemswhen revising its definitions of pilot experience. Online access:

The Cost of a Military Person-Year: A Method
for Computing Savings from Force Reductions. C. J. Dahlman.
2007.
The Department of Defense strives to only use military personnel
for military-essential tasks and has consistently recommended
the civilianization of ever-more military functions and positions.
This guidance also stems from the belief that military personnel
cost more than comparable civilians. As a policy, civilianization
can only be properly applied when it is an integral element of a
broader personnel-management strategy. This work presents
a new method of estimating the cost of a military person-year
that focuses on the actual cost of the retirement benefits that the
federal government must provide to military personal. It provides
a better foundation for the development of a broad, force-shaping
strategy than previously available measures that focused only
on annual retirement-fund accrual costs. A major implication of
this alternative calculus is that truly effective force managementusing strategic human-resources principles to identify the proper
mix of age and experience in the personnel inventory-requires an
increased focus on the cost of personnel. Online access: http://

Families under Stress: An Assessment of Data,
Theory, and Research on Marriage and Divorce in the Military. B.
R. Karney, J. S. Crown. 2007.
Recent demands on the military have raised concerns about
the impact of extended deployments on military marriages. To
evaluate this impact, the authors draw on marital status data in
service personnel records to estimate trends in marriage and marital
dissolution between 1996 and 2005 and the specific effects of time
deployed to Afghanistan and Iraq on subsequent risk of ending
a marriage. The results generally run counter to expectations.
Although rates of marital dissolution have increased since 2001
for most services and components, they had declined in the five
years prior to 2001. As a result, marital dissolution rates across the
services and components are currently similar to those observed in
1996, when the demands on the military were measurably lower.
In most cases, service members who were deployed had a lower
risk of subsequently ending their marriages than service members
who did not deploy or deployed fewer days. Online access: http://

Hurricane Katrina: Lessons for Army Planning and
Operations. L. E. Davis, J. Rough, G. Cecchine, A. G. Schaefer,
L. L. Zeman. 2007.
The efforts undertaken by civilian and military organizations in
response to Hurricane Katrina were historically unprecedented,
but problems did arise in the military response that contributed to
delays in accomplishing evacuations and relief operations across
the storm-ravaged areas of Louisiana and Mississippi, particularly
New Orleans. A number of steps can be taken to enhance future
military disaster-response efforts: give the National Guard the
federal mission to conduct homeland security activities; make
each National Guard unit capable of rapid deployment; prepare
governors to call up Guard units to state active duty for out-ofstate emergencies; and design a regional approach in the National
Guard through the creation of ten National Guard standing
homeland security task forces. Designating National Guard
and active-duty units for homeland security in the Army’s unitreadiness planning process also deserves consideration, as does an
approach to command and control structure that prepares decision
makers to quickly select from a set of predefined alternatives
giving the lead to federal or state task forces depending on the
characteristics of the emergency. Online access: http://www.rand.

Enlisting Madison Avenue: The Marketing
Approach to Earning Popular Support in Theaters of Operation. T.
C. Helmus, C. Paul, R. W. Glenn. 2007.
Virtually every action, message, and decision of a military
force shapes the opinions of an indigenous population: strategic
communication, treatment of civilians at vehicle checkpoints, and
the accuracy or inaccuracy of aerial bombardment. Themes of U.S.
goodwill mean little if its actions convey otherwise. Consequently,
a unified message in both word and deed is fundamental to
success. Business marketing practices provide a useful framework
for improving U.S. military efforts to shape the attitudes and
behaviors of local populations in a theater of operations as well
as those of a broader, international audience. Enlisting Madison
Avenue extracts lessons from these business practices and adapts
them to U.S. military efforts, developing a unique approach to
185
shaping that has the potential to improve military-civilian relations,
the accuracy of media coverage of operations, communication of
U.S. and coalition objectives, and the reputation of U.S. forces in
theater and internationally. Foremost among these lessons are the
concepts of branding, customer satisfaction, and segmentation of
the target audience, all of which serve to maximize the impact and
improve the outcome of U.S. shaping efforts. Online access: http://

Sustaining U.S. Nuclear Submarine Design
Capabilities. J. F. Schank, M. V. Arena, P. DeLuca, J. Riposo, K.
Curry, T. Weeks, J. Chiesa. 2007.
For the first time since the design of the first nuclear submarine,
the U.S. Navy has no nuclear submarine design program under
way, which raises the possibility that design capability could be
lost. Such a loss could result in higher costs and delays when the
next submarine design is undertaken, as well as risks to system
performance and safety. The authors estimate and compare the
costs and delays of letting design capability erode vs. those of
alternative means of managing the workload and workforce over
the gap in design demand and beyond. The authors recommend that
the Navy consider stretching out the design of the next submarine
class and starting it early, or, if that seems too risky, sustaining
design resources at the shipyards, their vendors, and in the Navy
itself that exceed those supported by the demand. Online access:

The Thin Green Line: An Assessment of
DoD’s Readiness and Environmental Protection Initiative to
Buffer Installation Encroachment. B. E. Lachman, A. Wong, S.
A. Resetar. 2007.
Over the past few decades, military installations have experienced
diminishing open space near their borders from suburban sprawl
and other developments. Such encroachment pressures limit the
ability to conduct mission-essential testing and training. Such
development can also destroy or displace native plant and animal
species, the result being that military installations become islands
of refuge for threatened and endangered species, which can also
restrict an installation’s operations. In 2003, DoD created the
Readiness and Environmental Protection Initiative (REPI) to help
address such encroachment pressures. The REPI program helps
installations implement compatible land use partnering projects with
state and local governments and non-governmental organizations
to protect non-military land, which helps relieve installation
encroachment pressures. In this monograph, RAND researchers
assessed the effectiveness of the REPI projects. The authors also
identify the main causes of encroachment; detail the benefits, both
to the military and local communities, of buffering areas near
installations with REPI projects; and provide recommendations for
how to improve REPI’s effectiveness. Online access: http://www.

U.S. Policy Options for Iraq: A Reassessment.
O. Oliker, K. Crane, A. K. Grant, T. K. Kelly, A. Rathmell, D.
Brannan. 2007.
Iraq is the most pressing national security issue facing the United
States today. This book evaluates the costs and benefits of five
alternative strategies the United States could pursue in Iraq. The
authors argue that, as long as the United States remains in Iraq,
policy actions must focus on improving the security of Iraq’s
population by reducing violence. They offer recommendations
for ways in which U.S. political, security, and economic policies
in Iraq could be better geared to support this goal, though they
emphasize the challenges inherent in this endeavor. Specific
recommendations focus on embedding and vetting efforts for
both forces and government structures and on targeting economic
assistance more effectively. The authors also suggest policies that
might be implemented if violence subsides-but that should not be
undertaken unless and until it does. The book concludes with a
discussion of next steps if the United States decides to withdraw
from Iraq, arguing that the United States needs to prepare now to
mitigate the effects of failure. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

Common Battlefield Training for Airmen. T.
Manacapilli, C. M. Hardison, B. Gifford, A. Bailey, A. Bower.
2007.
Members of Air Force specialties that normally work inside the
defended perimeter of a base or deployed location may sometimes
have to cross that perimeter. What might seem fairly benign in
some locations, such as Germany, would be hazardous in others,
such as Iraq. And some initially deployed to a “safe” location may
be redeployed to a more hazardous one. While those who routinely
go “outside the wire” receive appropriate training, the others
historically have not. The Air Force is thus seeking to establish
common battlefield airman training (CBAT) and asked RAND
Project Air Force to examine the content and resources both
for this course and a companion course for non-ground combat
personnel. RAND conducted surveys and interviews to determine
the kinds of experiences airmen have had “outside the wire” and
worked with subject-matter experts to categorize them and suggest
appropriate types and amounts of training for them. This report

presents the results of these activities. Online access: http://www.

Building Partner Capabilities for Coalition
Operations. J. D. P. Moroney, N. Blacker, R. Buhr, J. McFadden,
C. Thurston, A. Wong. 2007.
Ongoing operations and emerging mission requirements place a
heavy burden on Army resources, resulting in capability gaps that
the Army is unable to fill by itself. This report argues that one
way to fill those gaps is by building the appropriate capabilities
in allies and partner armies through focused security cooperation.
It argues that U.S. Army planners need a more comprehensive
understanding of the types of capability gaps that partner armies
might fill and a process for matching those gaps with candidate
partner armies. The report begins by providing a theoretical context
for building partner capacity and capabilities. It then discusses
seven illustrative train and equip programs (TEPs) to identify
specific lessons to inform Army planning and execution of TEPs
in the future. It gives insights on the importance of developing and
implementing metrics for security cooperation, an essential step
in ensuring that Army activities are successful. The report then
identifies U.S. Army capability gaps through a review of strategic
and operational guidance documents and Army and joint studies. It
outlines a five-step process for matching U.S. Army capability gaps
with candidate partner armies, which include (1) determining the
relative importance of capability gaps to the U.S. Army in specific
situations, (2) considering the level of effort required to build the
capability in a partner army, (3) identifying capabilities of shared
interest to the U.S. Army and the partner army, (4) identifying
candidate partner armies based on past participation in U.S.-led
operations, and (5) determining existing partner army capabilities.
The process aims to help Army planners identify which capabilities
are of mutual benefit to the United States and partner nations. The
report concludes with specific recommendations for Headquarters,
Department of the Army, which should, at a minimum, include
adopting this five-step process and focusing its efforts on those
capability gaps that best support joint requirements. Online access:

Post-Secondary Education in Qatar:
Employer Demand, Student Choice, and Options for Policy. C.
Stasz, E. Eide, F. Martorell, L. Constant, C. A. Goldman, J. S.
Moini, V. Nadareishvili, H. Salem. 2007.
The leadership of Qatar has a social and political vision that calls
for improving the country’s post-secondary education system.
Qatar’s Supreme Education Council asked RAND to conduct
a one-year study to assess whether the current post-secondary
education opportunities in Qatar are aligned with the nation’s
social and economic goals, and to help articulate priorities for
developing post-secondary educational opportunities, either in
Qatar or through financed study abroad. The study determined
that occupational demands are in the professional, technical, and
sales and service occupations for men, and in the professional and
clerical occupations for women. Overall, the pattern of demand
favors individuals with some post-secondary education. However,
education and career choices, especially for men, are somewhat
misaligned with demand. There are numerous post-secondary
offerings in Qatar to prepare Qataris for work in high-demand
fields at the undergraduate level, but not for graduate studies. The
study also identified other gaps in the provision of education, and
developed several options for addressing them. The recommended
investments for consideration are as follows: (1) to address the
currently limited opportunities available to Qataris who need
further course work before going on to university studies, consider
establishing a government-sponsored community college; (2) to
address the limited choices in four-year degrees available to highachieving students beyond the degrees offered in Education City,
consider recruiting a top liberal arts college or developing an
honors program at Qatar University; and (3) to address the lack
of master’s degrees being offered in fields essential to Qatar’s
social and economic progress, consider expanding Education
City’s offerings or restructuring Qatar University programs. The
study also recommended that a financial-aid program for adults be
started and that an overarching strategy of investment be developed
for post-secondary education before any investments are made.

Preparing the Army for Stability Operations:
Doctrinal and Interagency Issues. T. S. Szayna, D. Eaton, A. F.
Richardson. 2007.
This monograph presents the results of a project entitled Improving
Army Doctrine and Planning for Stability Operations. A great deal
of activity has been aimed at revising the approach to the planning
and implementation of Stabilization, Security, Transition, and
Reconstruction (SSTR) operations. The primary emphasis of
the changes is on ensuring a common U.S. strategy rather than a
collection of individual departmental and agency efforts and on
mobilizing and involving all available U.S. government assets
in the effort. However, using a template to assess the extent of
progress in building collaborative interagency capacity for SSTR
operations, the authors find that some elements essential to the
success of the process are not yet in place. They provide a series
of recommendations on how the Army, as a major stakeholder, can
act to advance the interagency process. The authors also assess the
ongoing development of Army doctrine on SSTR operations and
compare it to the emerging guidelines for SSTR operations at the
interagency level. They provide specific recommendations for the
Army to consider in revising its doctrine on SSTR operations, to
bring it further in line with interagency guidelines. They also point
out omissions in the security sector of the emerging interagency
task list for SSTR operations. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

Warfighting and Logistic Support of Joint
Forces from the Joint Sea Base. R. W. Button, J. Gordon, J.
Riposo, I. Blickstein, P. Wilson. 2007.
Sea Basing is a concept fundamental to the U.S. Navy’s operational
vision for the 21st century. The overall intent of Sea Basing is to
use the flexibility and protection provided by the sea base while
minimizing the presence of forces ashore. The Assessment Division
187
of the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OPNAV N-81)
asked RAND to develop insights on how Sea Basing could also
enable Army operations while supporting a Marine Expeditionary
Brigade (MEB). This monograph presents research performed by
the RAND National Defense Research Institute, Acquisition and
Technology Center, to that end. The RAND team held discussions
with and obtained data from personnel from Headquarters, U.S.
Army Training and Doctrine Command; the Marine Corps Combat
Development Command; the U.S. Army Transportation School;
OPNAV N-42 and N-85; and the Center for Naval Analyses.
Operational scenarios, intended to represent most likely cases for
Army (airborne, Stryker, and heavy) brigade interactions with a sea
base, were formulated. A computer simulation to represent these
scenarios was then developed. That simulation and data collected
for this study were used to ascertain the feasibility of sustaining
a Marine Corps ground element ashore and simultaneously
sustaining Army elements ashore from a sea base or moving
Army elements ashore from the sea base in a reasonable period.
Although Navy-Marine Corps Sea Basing concepts feature Carrier
and Expeditionary Strike Groups, this research focused on the
new Maritime Prepositioning Force — Future (MPF(F)) concept:
a squadron of 14 logistics ships. The initial finding of this study
was that, under the conditions used for the MPF(F) Analysis of
Alternatives, the sea base has little sustainment capability beyond
that needed for the portion of a MEB that is projected ashore
for operations. We then identified options (such as reducing the
standoff distance from the coast or changing the mix of logistics
aircraft embarked on the sea base) that would enable MPF(F) assets
to sustain a MEB ashore while sustaining an airborne brigade or
a heavy brigade. Under similar conditions, MPF(F) assets could
sustain a MEB ashore while moving a Stryker brigade or a heavy
brigade ashore in several days. The Joint High-Speed Vessel was
found particularly useful in the latter task-reducing Army brigade
movement time about 50 percent. Navy-Marine Corps Sea Basing
concepts were found not completely consistent with the Army’s
desire to deploy directly to a port via high-speed ships. For the Army
to benefit from the MPF(F)’s potential, certain modifications, such
as changing the way Army transport ships are loaded, would be
required. Although certain doctrinal and operational issues would
have to be resolved between the Army and the Navy/Marine Corps,
the analysis showed that MPF(F)-centered Sea Basing concepts
offer considerable benefit to the Army. This monograph should
be of interest to the Department of the Navy, the Department of
the Army, the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and Congress.

Combat Pair: The Evolution of Air Force-Navy
Integration in Strike Warfare. B. S. Lambeth. 2007.
This report documents the exceptional cross-service harmony
that the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy have steadily developed
in their conduct of integrated strike operations since the first
Persian Gulf War in 1991. That close harmony contrasts sharply
with the situation that prevailed throughout most of the Cold War,
when the two services maintained separate and unique operating
mindsets and lacked any significant interoperability features. The
most influential factor accounting for this gradual trend toward
integration was the nation’s ten-year experience with Operations
Northern and Southern Watch, in which both Air Force landbased fighters and Navy carrier-based fighters jointly enforced the
United Nations-imposed no-fly zones over northern and southern
Iraq that were first put into effect after the conclusion of Operation
Desert Storm. That steady-state aerial policing function proved to
be a real-world operations laboratory for the two services, and it
ended up being the main crucible in which their eventual merger
of operational practices was forged. The results were finally
showcased by the all but seamless Air Force and Navy performance
in their joint conduct of integrated aerial strike operations in the
largely air-centric war in Afghanistan in late 2001 and early 2002.
They were further dramatized by the similarly near-seamless airwarfare performance of the two services during the three-week
major combat phase of Operation Iraqi Freedom that ensued a year
later. These real-world experiences suggest that the U.S. Air Force
and U.S. naval aviation should now consider each other natural
allies in the roles and resources arena, since they did not compete
but rather mutually supported and reinforced one another in the
achievement of joint strike-warfare goals. Online access: http://

In the Name of Entrepreneurship? The Logic
and Effects of Special Regulatory Treatment for Small Business.
S. M. Gates, K. Leuschner. 2007.
There has been ongoing concern that some regulations, rules, and
government policies place a disproportionate burden on small
businesses and entrepreneurs. For this reason, small businesses
often receive special regulatory treatment, such as exemptions
from legislation or extended deadlines for compliance. However,
the desire to support small businesses can come into conflict with
the interest in addressing the concerns that led to the regulation
or policy in the first place. Moreover, it is often unclear whether
special regulatory treatment for small businesses is having the
intended effect. This book sheds light on these issues through
analysis of the regulatory and public policy environment with
regard to small businesses, including focused studies in four key
areas: health insurance, workplace safety, corporate governance,
and business organization. The authors offer support for the
idea that the regulatory environment has a different effect on the
behavior of small businesses than it has on that of large ones.
However, they also demonstrate that policies designed specifically
to help small businesses do not always have the intended effect.
The lack of a consistent definition of small business confounds
our understanding of these issues. The book suggests possible
directions for future policy that achieves a better balance between
the interest in restricting firm behavior through regulation and the
desire to encourage small businesses and entrepreneurs. Online

F-22A Multiyear Procurement Program:
An Assessment of Cost Savings. O. Younossi, M. V. Arena, K.
Brancato, J. C. Graser, B. Goldsmith, M. A. Lorell, F. S. Timson,
J. M. Sollinger. 2007.
Buying defense weapon systems under multiyear contracts rather
188
than a series of single-year contracts can save costs because
contractors can buy materials in more economic quantities,
schedule workers and facilities more efficiently, and reduce the
burden of preparing multiple proposals. The U.S. Air Force is in
the process of awarding multiyear contracts for 60 F-22A aircraft
over three years. Congress wants to assure itself that the proposed
contract will yield the promised savings and asked RAND for an
independent review of the estimated savings. Researchers found
that a multiyear procurement of three lots of F-22A fighters
would save an estimated $411 million-about 4.5 percent of the
total contract value. They were able to trace 70 percent of the
$411 million to substantiated savings estimates identified by the
contractors. Examining the issue of multiyear savings using several
approaches produces a consistent range of results, indicating that
the savings attributed to the multiyear contract by the contractors
appear to be reasonable. Online access: http://www.rand.org/pubs/

Encouraging Trade and Foreign Direct
Investment in Ukraine. K. Crane, F. S. Larrabee. 2007.
Despite the fact that two ostensible economic policy priorities in
Ukraine are to liberalize trade and improve the climate for foreign
direct investment (FDI), successive Ukrainian governments have
found it singularly difficult to pass legislation and implement
policies to address these priorities. The study’s primary objective
was to analyze Ukraine’s current environment for foreign trade
and FDI and to develop policy proposals that will foster Ukraine’s
foreign trade and attract more FDI, especially with respect to the
United States. The report describes existing barriers to trade and
FDI, chief among which is corruption, and recommends a twopronged strategy for removing the worst of these barriers: one
prong focused on a few highly visible policy changes that would
bring results within 100 days; the other focused on setting in motion
changes in Ukrainian institutions that would reduce corruption
and other impediments over a longer period. Online access: http://

The Federal Role in Terrorism Insurance:
Evaluating Alternatives in an Uncertain World. L. S. Dixon, R. J.
Lempert, T. LaTourrette, R. T. Reville. 2007.
Concerned that the unavailability of terrorism insurance would
impede economic recovery and hinder growth after the 9/11
attacks, Congress passed the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002
(TRIA). TRIA will sunset at the end of 2007 unless Congress takes
further action. This book examines the implications of allowing
TRIA to expire and of enhancements aimed at improving the
availability and affordability of insurance for nuclear, biological,
chemical, and radiological (NBCR) attacks. The analysis takes
a systematic approach to addressing the deep uncertainties that
underlie the market for terrorism insurance and is the first study of
TRIA to consider not just taxpayer payments through the program
but also the cost of government compensation and assistance
following a terrorist attack when analyzing the program’s effect
on government spending. The authors conclude that taxpayer cost
is lower with TRIA than without TRIA across a broad range of
assumptions about attack frequency and the proportion of uninsured
losses that are compensated postattack. The analysis also cautions
policymakers to be careful when modifying the program to better
address NBCR attacks: Simply expanding the program to require
insurers to offer NBCR coverage may not achieve the desired
outcomes. The authors identify program changes that will produce
positive results for both NBCR and conventional attacks that are
robust to key underlying uncertainties. Online access: http://www.

Human Trafficking in Ohio: Markets,
Responses, and Considerations. J. M. Wilson, E. Dalton. 2007.
Human trafficking has garnered a significant and growing
amount of attention from the U.S. government since the 1990s,
culminating in the passage of the federal Trafficking Victims
Protection Act in 2000. There is also a growing body of research
on human trafficking, but most of it has focused on trying to show
that human trafficking is a problem. Wilson and Dalton explore the
extent and characteristics of concrete cases of human trafficking
in Columbus and Toledo, Ohio, as well as the awareness of and
response to the problem by the justice systems and social service
provider communities in the two cities. The authors summarize
their content analysis of newspaper accounts as well as key
respondent interviews that they conducted with criminal justice
officials and social service providers in each site. These identified
several cases of juvenile sex trafficking and forced prostitution
in Toledo, as well as a smaller trafficking market centered on
the forced labor of noncitizens in Columbus. Wilson and Dalton
compare the two cities’ considerably different responses to
human trafficking, and conclude with suggestions on how to raise
awareness about human trafficking and improve the responses of
the criminal justice system, the juvenile justice system, and social
services to the problem. Online access: http://www.rand.org/pubs/

The use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs, especially among

prevention programs can improve the health of community
members. Such programs are successful only if they are of high
quality and are implemented carefully. In 2004, the RAND
Corporation published Getting To Outcomes 2004: Promoting
Accountability Through Methods and Tools for Planning,
Implementation, and Evaluation, a manual designed to provide
guidance to prevention practitioners in agencies, schools, and
community coalitions as they plan, implement, and evaluate
their own substance abuse prevention programs. Research has
shown that the Getting To Outcomes (GTO) approach can lead to
increased capacity in prevention programs and better performance.

The Qatar National Research Fund (QNRF) is intended to be the
leading institution in Qatar dedicated to funding research in the
Qatari interest. It will address priority economic and social needs
and pursue opportunities to attract internationally recognized
researchers to study topics of regional and global importance.
QNRF is a project of the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science,
and Community Development, a nonprofit organization dedicated
to cultivating the full potential of the Qatari people through a
network of progressive research and educational centers. To lay
the groundwork for QNRF, the foundation asked the RANDQatar Policy Institute (RQPI) in 2004 to recommend a design and
draft business and implementation plans; this report documents
the results. The RQPI team presented a design that took the best
practices of internationally recognized research and academic
institutions and tailored them to both the foundation’s vision for
QNRF and Qatar’s unique needs, challenges, and opportunities.
The design included a structure for QNRF and laid out the tasks
necessary to build it, to be undertaken during implementation
three phases: start-up, launch of operations and programs, and
deepening and broadening of the research agenda. The design also
proposed a set of operating principles for meeting strategic goals
and performing in accordance with internationally recognized
standards. Online access: http://www.rand.org/pubs/technical_

TR-280-DFT The PRISM Model: Evidence on Model Hierarchy
and Parameter Values. C. Rohr. 2007.
The UK Department for Transport (DfT) provides detailed guidance
on the appraisal of transport projects and wider advice on scoping
and carrying out transport studies. Part of this advice concerns
development of transport models which contain the full range of
important demand responses, i.e., trip frequency, mode choice,
destination choice, time period choice and route choice—called
‘Variable Demand Models’—for the evaluation of large highway
and public transport infrastructure schemes. For development of
this advice, the DfT sought evidence about choice hierarchies
and parameter values from existing transport demand models,
specifically those that had been subject to rigorous calibration and
validation procedures. The Policy Responsive Integrated Strategy
Model (PRISM) of the West Midlands met these requirements. This
report describes the model choice hierarchies and model parameter
values obtained from the estimation of the PRISM model, with the
aim of informing DfT transport modelling advice. Online access:

TR-313-STWA
An Approach to Assessing the Technical
Feasibility and Market Potential of a New Automotive Device.
2007.
Save the World Air (STWA) has developed magnet-based devices,
including its Zero Emission Fuel Saver (ZEFS), that it claims
can improve vehicle fuel economy and reduce emissions. These
devices are designed to be fitted as original equipment onto
internal combustion engines or to be retrofitted onto existing
engines. STWA asked the RAND Corporation to help develop
a plan for assessing the technical basis required for successful
commercialization of ZEFS. STWA also sought RAND’s advice
in examining potential market opportunities for ZEFS. This report
summarizes RAND’s analysis of these two issues, concluding the
following. Application of magnetic fields has not been shown in
the literature to lower the viscosity of automotive fuels. Along
with empirical testing, establishing a theoretical basis underlying
the effect of magnetic fields on fuel viscosity, surface tension, and
atomization might provide useful information for developing and
evaluating magnetic field-based fuel treatment devices. So far, the
test results for use of the device are, at best, mixed. Should further
laboratory analysis and in-use testing provide clearer and more
positive outcomes, the market potential for the device will depend
significantly on the advances realized from other technologies and
regulatory policies and on its cost-effectiveness relative to other
outcomes. Online access: http://www.rand.org/pubs/technical_

Freedom and Information: Assessing Publicly
Available Data Regarding U.S. Transportation Infrastructure
Security. E. Landree, C. Paul, B. Grill, A. Balakrishnan, B. Wilson,
M. C. Libicki. 2007.
How much data regarding U.S. anti- and counterterrorism
systems, countermeasures, and defenses is publicly available and
how easily could it be found by individuals seeking to harm U.S.
domestic interests? The authors developed a framework to guide
assessments of the availability of such information for planning
attacks on the U.S. air, rail, and sea transportation infrastructure,
and applied the framework in an information-gathering exercise
that used several attack scenarios. Overall, the framework was
useful for assessing what kind of information would be easy or
hard for potential attackers to find. For each of the attack scenarios,
a team of “attackers” was unable to locate some of the information
that a terrorist planner would need to gauge the likely success
of a potential attack. The authors recommend that procedures
for securing sensitive information be evaluated regularly and
that information that can be obtained from easily accessible,
off-site public information sources be included in vulnerability
assessments. Online access: http://www.rand.org/pubs/technical_

Isles of Scilly: Travel Demand Study. M.
Kouwenhoven, C. Rohr, S. Miller, H. Siemonsma, P. Burge, J.
Laird. 2006.
Submissions for capital funding to improve transport infrastructure
requires estimates of the cost benefits travellers will receive from
those improvements. This study provides an example of how a
travel demand model was used to predict travellers’ responses
and quantify their benefits from different ferry service options to
the Isles of Scilly. This model has been developed using locally
collected data, including travellers’ observed choices and the stated
choices they say they would make under changed circumstances.
The model predicts changes in modal shift and in total travel
demand as a result of changes in ferry services. The methodology
also provides an enhancement to normal UK transport appraisal
procedures. It includes travellers’ benefits from improved quality of
services and scheduling and exact consumer surplus calculations,
which allow for variation in travellers’ tastes and the possibility
of calculating the impact of discontinuation of services. Online

J. M. Macdonald, A. Sehgal, J. Imara, F. Cotton, D. Davies, A.
Harris. 2006.
California counties receiving funds from Juvenile Justice Crime
Prevention Act (JJCPA) programs are required to report six outcome
measures to the California State Legislature on an annual basis to
measure the success of the program. These outcome measures are
(1) successful completion of probation, (2) arrests, (3) probation
violations, (4) incarcerations, (5) successful completion of
restitution, and (6) successful completion of community service.
This fiscal year 2004–05 annual report summarizes those findings,
as well as additional program information gathered by the Los
Angeles County Probation Department based on its oversight and
monitoring of program implementation and outcomes. The report
will be of interest to researchers, policymakers, and practitioners
interested in the effectiveness of intervention programs for
participating youths and those involved in the juvenile justice

TR-386-DHS Terrorism Risk Modeling for Intelligence Analysis
and Infrastructure Protection. H. H. Willis, T. LaTourrette, T. K.
Kelly, H. C. Scot, S. Neill. 2007.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has adopted a
focused approach to risk reduction. DHS is moving increasingly
to risk analysis and risk-based resource allocation, a process that
is designed to manage the greatest risks instead of attempting to
protect everything. This report applies a probabilistic terrorism
model that is broadly applied in the insurance industry to assess
risk across cities, to assess risks within specific cities, and to assist
intelligence analysis. Among the authors’ conclusions: Terrorism
risk is concentrated in a small number of cities, with most cities
having negligible relative risk, so terrorism estimates such as
those described in the report should be incorporated into the grant
allocation assessment process. DHS should consider funding the
development of city profiles of major metropolitan areas receiving
DHS preparedness grants. It should also develop descriptions of
terrorist attack planning and operations that can be used to translate
estimates from risk models of likely attack scenarios into detailed
recommendations. Finally, DHS should develop tabletop exercises
to test the scenarios and provide feedback. Online access: http://

Enhancing Strategic Planning with Massive Scenario
Generation: Theory and Experiments. P. K. Davis, S. C. Bankes,
M. Egner. 2007.
This report extends research on using scenarios for strategic
planning, with experiments in what can be called massive scenario
generation (MSG), a computationally intensive technique that
seeks to combine virtues of human- and model-based exploration
of “the possibility space.” The authors measure particular
approaches to MSG against four metrics: not needing a good initial
model; the dimensionality of the possibility space considered; the
degree of exploration of that space; and the quality of resulting
knowledge. The authors then describe two MSG experiments for
contrasting cases, one that began with a reasonable but untested
analytical model, and one that began without an analytical model,
but with a thoughtful list of the conditions that might characterize
and distinguish among circumstances in the situation considered,
a list derived from a combination of single-analyst thinking and
group brainstorming. The authors experimented with a variety of
methods and tools for interpreting and making sense of the “data”
arising from MSG, using ordinary linear sensitivity analysis, a
generalization using analyst-inspired aggregation fragments, some
advanced filtering methods drawing on data-mining and machinelearning methods, and motivated metamodeling. On the basis of
this preliminary work, we conclude that MSG has the potential to
expand the scope of what are recognized as possible developments,
provide an understanding of how those developments might
come about, and help identify aspects of the world that should
be studied more carefully, tested, or monitored. It should assist
planners by enriching their mental library of the patterns used to
guide reasoning and action at the time of crisis or decision and
should help them identify anomalous situations requiring unusual
actions. Finally, it should identify crucial issues worthy of testing
or experimentation in games or other venues and, in some cases,
suggest better ways to design mission rehearsals. If MSG can be
built into training, education, research, and socialization exercises,
it should leave participants with a wider and better sense of the
possible, while developing skill at problem-solving in situations
other than those of the “best estimate.” Much development is
needed, but prospects are encouraging. Online access: http://www.

Arkansans in the November 2000 election, invests Arkansas’
share of the tobacco Master Settlement Agreement funds in
seven health-related programs. RAND was contracted to evaluate
the progress of the seven programs in fulfilling their missions,
as well as the effects of the programs on smoking and other
health-related outcomes. This report charts the progress of each
program, including assessing progress in achieving long-range
goals established by the programs in 2005, tracking the programs’
process measures, and assessing performance on a set of program
management integrity criteria. The report also updates trends in
outcome measures developed to monitor effects of the funded

Preventing Underage Drinking: Using
Getting to Outcomes with the SAMHSA Strategic Prevention
Framework to Achieve Results. P. S. Imm, M. Chinman, A.
Wandersman, D. Rosenbloom, S. Guckenburg, R. Leis. 2007.
Underage drinking is a significant problem in the United States:
Alcohol is the primary contributor to the leading causes of death
among adolescents. As a result, communitywide strategies to
prevent underage drinking are more important than ever. Such
strategies depend on the involvement and education of adolescents,
parents, law enforcement officials, merchants, and other
stakeholders. This guide is designed to take communities through
the process of planning, implementing, and evaluating strategies to
prevent underage drinking and youth access to alcohol. The guide
is structured according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration’s (SAMHSA’s) Strategic Prevention
Framework, a five-step prevention approach. Within the five steps,
the guide adopts the Getting To Outcomes model of empowerment
evaluation, results-based accountability, and continuous quality
improvement. The result is a comprehensive, step-by-step manual
for developing, implementing, and evaluating a high-quality
communitywide plan to prevent underage drinking and its related
consequences. Recommendations include the development
of educational strategies for parents, adolescents, and alcohol
merchants; attracting the involvement of civic leaders; working
to reform legislation governing underage access to alcohol; and
training law enforcement officials to be vigilant but safe in their
efforts to police underage drinking in the community. Online

Disruptive Technologies. N. Robinson, M. Botterman, L. Valeri,
D. S. Ortiz, A. Ligtvoet, R. Shoob, E. Nason. 2007.
This report describes the results of a study undertaken for Unit
A3, Internet, Information and Network Security, DG Information
Society and Media, European Commission to investigate security
challenges to the use and deployment of disruptive technologies.
The project used a combination of research methods, most notably
a Delphi exercise, case studies and a workshop to gather evidence
on the type of security challenges that organisations implementing
disruptive technologies encountered. Implementations of five
different types of disruptive technology (defined by Clayton M
Christiansen as technology or innovation that attracts a customer
base via niche or simple selling points) were considered. These
were Voice over IP (VoIP); Trusted Computing; Wireless
Microwave Access (WiMAX); Radio Frequency Identification
(RFID) and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). The analysis
from the case studies indicated a wide variety of issues but that
the disruptive nature of these technologies did not present any
unique or peculiar security challenges. The report also presented
conclusions for policy makers at the European and Member State
level based on the evidence gathered and other literature which
indicated, amongst other things, that a program to monitor the
impact of technological research and development would be a
useful policy measure. Online access: http://www.rand.org/pubs/

Workforce Planning and Development Processes:
A Practical Guide. G. Vernez, A. A. Robbert, H. G. Massey, K.
Driscoll. 2007.
The Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) develops, acquires,
and maintains most Air Force systems and is tailoring its workforce
to adapt to changes in technology, weapons, and battlefield
requirements. This volume is a practical guide to the main steps
in analytical workforce planning and development: determining
workforce demand, describing workforce supply, comparing the
demand with the supply, and implementing solutions. The authors
outline the related policy decisions; describe necessary methods,
data, and tools; and recommend divisions of responsibilities among
headquarters, business units, and functional managers. These tasks
need not cover the entire workforce but should be focused on
positions that are central to AFMC’s core business units, which
would be responsible for actual planning and development.
Headquarters AFMC itself would primarily offer guidance,
support, and assistance to these units and mediate trade-offs that
may need to be made among them. Similarly, functional managers
have an advisory role. Online access: http://www.rand.org/pubs/

Subjective Probability Distribution Elicitation in
Cost Risk Analysis: A Review. L. A. Galway. 2007.
A cost estimate for a project such as the acquisition of a new aircraft
or satellite system carries with it an inherent probability that the
actual cost will exceed the estimate-that changes in requirements,
technology, the economic environment, and a multitude of other
factors that may occur over the life of the project will change the
final cost. One major approach to cost risk analysis-the evaluating
and quantifying of the uncertainty of a cost estimate-has been
probabilistic: expressing the uncertainty in a cost estimate as
a probability distribution over a range of potential costs. Cost
analysts in industry and government and researchers in statistics
and management have often proposed that, to get probability
distributions for platforms using new and untried technologies,
expert judgment should be tapped and subjective probability
distributions elicited from the experts to represent cost uncertainty.
192
This technical report reviews procedures for eliciting subjective
probability distributions in cost risk analysis, both in the cost risk
field and in other disciplines in which elicitation has been a topic of
research-primarily, statistics and psychology. Because of a lack of
empirical work in elicitation, especially in cost risk, the author also
interviewed a number of senior people in the cost risk community,
who gave insight into the practices of the field. This report should
be of interest to cost analysis professionals who wish to quantify
uncertainty when using expert opinions in cost risk analysis. Online

The Knowledge Matrix Approach to Intelligence
Fusion. C. G. Pernin, L. Moore, K. Comanor. 2007.
As the U.S. military transforms to an information-based force, it
will need processes and methods to collect, combine, and utilize
the intelligence that is generated by its assets. The process known
as fusion will play an important role in determining whether this
intelligence is used in the most beneficial manner. The process of
fusion, combining pieces of information to produce higher-quality
information, knowledge, and understanding, is often poorly
represented in constructive models and simulations that are used to
analyze intelligence issues. This report describes one approach to
capturing the fusion process in a constructive simulation, providing
detailed examples to aid in further development and instantiation.
The sequential fusion method in intended to determine whether
separate intelligence observations are close enough geographically,
have consistently identified the same battlefield entity, and contain
high-quality information, all of which must be considered before
fusion of intelligence can occur. The fusion process described
in this report is, for the most part, an implicit representation of
the generation of battlefield intelligence and can be used in a
constructive simulation or fusion model to better understand the
dynamics of intelligence-gathering systems and their effect on
intelligence metrics. Online access: http://www.rand.org/pubs/

Guidelines and Metrics for Assessing Space
System Cost Estimates. B. Fox, K. Brancato, B. Alkire. 2008.
This handbook is designed to help analysts evaluate cost estimates
of space systems. It assumes the reader understands common
cost analysis methodologies but has limited experience with
space systems. Its objectives are to help the analyst who is tasked
with reviewing an estimate to plan the review; to identify the
key programmatic, technical, and cost data needed; to highlight
common issues to investigate; and to provide typical cost ranges
for components of relevant historical space programs. The book
supplements the Air Force Cost Analysis Agency’s spacecraft
training course by focusing on the cost analysis implications of the
systems and processes covered in the course. Appendixes provide
relevant source material and suggested checklists. Online access:

TR-419-OSD Alignment of Department of Defense Manpower,
Resources, and Personnel Systems. H. Thie, R. J. Yardley, M. C.
Harrell, K. Brancato. 2007.
Are the Department of Defense manpower, resources, and
personnel systems aligned to provide the personnel inventory
needed to meet changing military readiness and operational
requirements? This report documents a research effort exploring
the premise that these systems are misaligned and thus lead to
organizations being mismanned or undermanned. RAND’s tasks
were to determine whether there was misalignment, assess how the
systems synchronize if a misalignment occurs, and identify policies
and programs to implement improvements. The research included
an analysis of military personnel authorizations and inventory,
as well as case studies of the Army’s conversion to the Stryker
brigade and the post-9/11 stand-up of the U.S. Northern Command.
The manpower, resources, and personnel systems were found
to be generally functionally aligned and to be able to adapt and
synchronize effectively following exceptional events. In addition,
it was determined that overall interoperability could benefit from
changes in the personnel system, including additional flexibility
to reduce the cycle time needed to meet manpower authorizations.

Theory and Methods for Supporting High Level
Military Decisionmaking. P. K. Davis, J. P. Kahan. 2007.
This report describes an approach to high-level decision support
for a Joint Forces Air Component Commander in combat
operations or a Chief of Staff in defense planning. Its central
theme is the fundamental importance of dealing effectively with
uncertainty, whether in effects-based operations, building the Air
Force’s Commander’s Predictive Environment, or planning future
forces with the methods of capabilities-based planning. Because
many features of the future cannot be predicted with reasonable
confidence, it is better to proceed with the expectation of surprise
developments and to have skill in recognizing adaptations and
making them than it is to treat uncertainty merely as an annoyance.
This report sketches the framework of a high-level decision-support
environment that is top-down, expresses concepts in simple and
intuitive language, deals explicitly with risk and uncertainty, and
provides the capability for decisionmakers to readily discover
and question the bases for key assumptions and assessments. It
can accommodate both “rational-analytic” and “naturalistic”
decisionmakers, allowing them to produce strategies that are
flexible, adaptive, and robust (FAR). Two explicit methods and
their related tools are described. The first involves portfolio-style
thinking and analysis, a good mechanism for balancing risks and
other considerations in choosing a course of action. The second
is a novel modification of foresight exercises that addresses the
need to include humans effectively in dealing with uncertainty.
A more extensive discussion of available methods and enabling
technologies is also presented, along with some recommendations
about investment priorities. Online access: http://www.rand.org/

A Strategies-to-Tasks Framework for Planning
and Executing Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance
(ISR) Operations. C. Rhodes, J. Hagen, M. Westergren. 2007.
193
To assist in moving intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance
(ISR) planning and execution forward from a fixed target and
deliberate planning focus to one centered on emerging targets, the
authors propose enhancing the collection management process with
a strategies-to-tasks and utility framework. By linking collection
targets to operational tasks, objectives, and top-level commander’s
guidance with relative utilities, planning for the daily intelligence
collections and real-time retasking for ad hoc ISR targets could
be enhanced. When current tools are modified to provide this
information, planners will be able to link collection targets to toplevel objectives for better decisionmaking and optimization of lowdensity, high-demand collection assets, and intelligence officers
will be better able to deal with time-sensitive, emerging targets
by rapidly comparing the value of collecting an ad hoc collection
with the value of collecting opportunities already planned. Online
