Event Summary
Location: The Heritage Foundation's Lehrman Auditorium
Strain on America's armed forces has led to calls for permanent
force increases. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has said that
the problem behind these discouraging facts is not the size of the
force, but rather how the force is managed and the mix of
capabilities at the United States' disposal. This analysis provides
a more complex solution, suggesting that simply providing
additional forces will not fix the problem. Instead, we must
reevaluate how the Army should be composed in the future to
maximize its efficiency and effectiveness.
Join us as General Peter J. Schoomaker, 35th Chief of Staff,
United States Army, explores the future possibilities for an
efficient, effective United States Army.
This Lecture Series is made possible by a grant from the
Tawani Foundation and its founder Colonel (IL) James N. Pritzker
ILARNG (Ret.), who are dedicated to promoting awareness and
understanding of the role of the Citizen Soldier in America's
military heritage.
