Author Description

The Army wished to study a policy under which the United States would maintain as much of its forward presence in Europe as feasible by rotating units from CONUS rather than permanently stationing them in Europe. Implementing such a plan, and thus restationing units from Europe to the United States, would require adjustments in basing infrastructure, unit training and deployment cycles, personnel movements, and family support. This study identifies the most important adjustments and assesses the feasibility and potential costs of the change.
