  Trevor Johnston, Erik E. Mueller, Irina A. Chindea, Hannah Jane Byrne, Nathan Vest, Colin P. Clarke, Anusree Garg, Howard J. Shatz

  Violent nonstate actors must have the resources to carry out their activities. Disrupting their financing plays a critical role in degrading these groups. It is not, however, always obvious which tools are effective and which would be counterproductive. This report presents five cases describing how five groups financed their activities, the effectiveness of various tools to disrupt that financing, and how the Army can contribute to the effort.

  Army Full-Time Support Processes: Considerations for Enhancing Common Understanding, Transparency, and Unity of Purpose 2023

  Michael E. Linick, Joshua Klimas

  The Full-Time Support (FTS) program's requirements are linked to day-to-day workload and thus largely insensitive to changes in strategy that do not affect force structure or programmed level of equipment usage. The partially decentralized processes for determining and allocating FTS labor are generally reasonable, but data transparency and traceability challenges inhibit the development of a common understanding among stakeholders.

  Optimizing Portfolio-Level Modernization Investment: An Overview of the Aim Point Investment Model (APIM) 2023

  Katharina Ley Best, Jeremy M. Eckhause, M. Wade Markel, Nathaniel Edenfield, Duncan Long, Lauren A. Mayer, Tony Nuber, Liam Regan, Michael J. D. Vermeer, Dulani Woods, et al.

  This report introduces the Aim Point Investment Model, which allocates portfolio-level resources based on programs' utility and existing Army data sources, subject to constraints on the U.S. Army's ability to employ those resources productively. This model allows decisionmakers to quickly understand the implications of changing operational prioritization and budget constraints in terms of real effects on actual program-level funding.
