The 1991 ASB report, while 20 years old, still has a number of findings and recommendations that the committee believes remain applicable generally to the Army's future unified land operations and specifically to the subject of this study: ensuring that future dismounted TSUs and Soldiers have decisive overmatch across the gamut of those operations. Even though the ASB report dealt primarily with the multiple facets of materiel-related capabilities and the need for an integrated perspective, today there is broad recognition that multiple facets of the human dimension, in addition to the materiel dimension, are critical to this broad range of missions and operating environments.

FOLLOW-ON TO SOLDIER AS A SYSTEM The recommendations of the ASB report are supported by a subsequent review, Objective Force Warrior Technology Assessment, chartered in 2000 by the Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Research and Technology.1 The charter to the Independent Review Team (IRT) that conducted the study described the Objective Force Warrior as possessing the agility and versatility to operate with overmatch across the spectrum of conflict, environmental complexity, and mission set: offense, defense, stability, and support.

has identified many physical and cognitive performance capabilities that would enhance Soldier and TSU enhanced warfighting effectiveness, even a cursory comparison of desired to currently fielded force capabilities identifies numerous capability gaps. Given the range of TSU and Soldier capability gaps to be addressed and the complex solution space of potential Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership and Education, Personnel and Facilities (DOTMLPF)
