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: MG TR CF CT DB RGSD RP OP RB CP WR LRP Monograph (Technical) Reports Conference Proceedings Testimony Documented Briefings Dissertations Reprints Occasional Papers Research Briefs Corporate Publications Working Papers Library Reprints The Monograph and the Technical Report are the principal publications documenting and transmitting RAND’s major research findings. 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. In addition to these numbered series, some RAND research is published in book form by other commercial or academic presses or 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 subject, author, and title indexes covering all the material abstracted in the current volume. 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. Author Index. The entries under the authors’ names give the numbers and titles of their publications abstracted in this volume of SRA. Title Index. Each title is followed by its document number. ABSTRACT SECTION vi Abstracts are arranged serially by publication number. A complete serial list of publications included in this volume appears immediately preceding the subject index.

Grogger, L. A. Karoly. 2005. During the 1990s the United States undertook the greatest social policy reform since the Social Security Act of 1935. In Welfare Reform: Effects of a Decade of Change, Jeffrey Grogger and Lynn Karoly assemble evidence from numerous studies, including nearly three dozen social experiments, to assess how welfare reform has affected behavior. To broaden our understanding of this wideranging policy reform, the authors evaluate the evidence in relation to an economic model of behavior. The evidence they collect reveals the trade-offs that policymakers face in achieving the conflicting goals of promoting work, reducing dependency, and alleviating need among the poor. Finally, the authors identify numerous areas where important gaps remain in our understanding of the effects of welfare reform. The book will be a crucial resource for policy economists, social policy specialists, other professionals concerned with welfare policy, and students.

Book-998876 How Much Is Enough? Shaping the Defense Program, 1961–1969. A. C. Enthoven, K. W. Smith. 2005. A work of enduring value and lasting relevance, this book is both a classic account of the application of powerful ideas to the problem of managing the Department of Defense (DoD) and a cautionary history of the controversies inspired by that successful effort. Robert S. McNamara took office in 1961 convinced that the Secretary of Defense, rather than the services, should control the evaluation of military needs and should choose among alternatives for meeting those needs. His device was a new system for allocating defense resources, the Planning, Programming, and Budgeting System (PPBS), which was based on six fundamental ideas: (1) Decisions should be based on explicit criteria of national interest, not on compromises among institutional forces. (2) Needs and costs should be considered simultaneously. (3) Major decisions should be made by choices among explicit, balanced, feasible alternatives. (4) The Secretary of Defense should have an active analytic staff to provide him with relevant data and unbiased perspectives. (5) A multiyear force and financial plan should project the consequences of present decisions into the future. (6) Open and explicit analysis, available to all parties, should form the basis for major decisions. Most of the decisions that inspired great controversy in the 1960s are taken as bedrock defense policy today, and the methods adopted with such pain have become embedded as the DoD’s approach to defining and resolving issues. This book was originally published with the same title, New York, N.Y., Harper & Row, 1971, and includes a new foreword by Kenneth J. Krieg and David S. C. Chu.

Buddin, M. R. Thirtle, P. S. H. Ellis, J. D. Mele. 2005. Generating and projecting aerospace power in the 21st century are technologically complex, requiring a myriad of different skills. Recruiting, training, and retaining people with the necessary mix of skills are major challenges for the U.S. Air Force's personnel community. Many career fields have been under strength for several years. This condition, together with the recent sharp increases in deployments (especially after the September 2001 attacks), has resulted in "stressed" career fields: too much work for too few people. This study's original charter was to examine career fields that have been "chronically and critically" under strength over time, and to look for root causes and potential solutions. We initially pursued a casestudy approach, focusing on five varied career fields from the set of non-rated line officers. Although each selected career field had its own set of problems, the details of those problems and potential solutions were widely known to the managers. However, the managers had little or no access to relevant policy levers, such as accession and retention policy, which are the basic components of force management. This systemic disconnect in force management lies at the root of many of the current understrength problems. After consulting with our sponsor, the Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel (AF/DP), we reoriented the project to develop an overall framework for force management that would identify roles and organizations that could provide analysis and diagnosis of understrength conditions and could also execute appropriate policy interventions to solve the problems. Determination of personnel requirements, accessions, retention, education and training, assignments, and promotions must be managed closely and attentively, 189 and such management must be performed at three different levels, which we denote by the familiar military terms of tactical (assignments of individual officers and their individual careers), operational (individual career fields, or a set of closely related fields), and strategic (the total Air Force workforce, including overall force size, officer/enlisted and component mix, and the balance between individual career fields). We contend that the root of understrength problems is gaps in force management, particularly at the operational and strategic levels, and that operational-level force management is the key to force management as a whole-providing both the policy framework that guides tactical-level management and the basic informational input for strategic-level decisions. Our recommendation for the operational-level job is to make the career field manager a full-time position and to put a senior functional officer in the position, as well as providing career field managers with dedicated and standardized analytic support.

Neu, K. I. Shine, J. L. Adams, A. K. Afifi, C. Benard, M. Bernstein, D. Brannan, C. R. Cook, K. Crane, R. J. Deckelbaum, K. Fonkych, C. A. Goldman, D. G. Groves, S. G. Jones, K. F. McCarthy, A. Moreen, B. Nichiporuk, K. J. Riley, M. Schoenbaum, A. R. Timilsina. 2005. 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 study focuses on a single analytical question: How can an independent Palestinian state, if created, be made successful? This book, a collaboration between two units of the RAND Corporation-RAND Health and the RAND Center for Middle East Public Policy-examines what it will take to put the new state on the road to stability and economic, political, and social prosperity over the first decade of its independence. The authors examine options for strengthening the governance of the new state and the structures and processes that will ensure its public safety and security. They describe approaches for promoting the state's economic development, access to safe and adequate supplies of water, health and health care, and education, identifying ways that leverage Palestine's many strengths and address the many challenges a new state will face. Finally, the authors estimate the investment required over the first ten years of statehood to help ensure security, build infrastructure, and facilitate the success of the new state.

McCarthy, A. Moreen, B. Nichiporuk, K. J. Riley, M. Schoenbaum, A. R. Timilsina, D. R. Suisman. 2005. 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.

Asbestos litigation is the longest-running mass tort litigation in U.S. history. Through 2002, approximately 730,000 individuals who had been exposed to asbestos 190 have brought claims against some 8,400 business entities, and almost as many more future claims are likely. Defendants and insurers have spent a total of $70 billion on asbestos litigation through 2002, more than half of which was consumed by claimants' and defendants' litigation expenses. This monograph presents the most comprehensive description to date of asbestos litigation. It offers detailed analyses of asbestos litigation through 2002 and, in some respects, to summer 2004. The authors report on what happened to those who have claimed injury from asbestos, what happened to the defendants in those cases, and how lawyers and judges have managed the cases, with an overall focus on how the litigation system has been performing in resolving asbestos claims.

The terrorist attacks of 9/11 plunged the United States into a determined counteroffensive against Osama bin Laden and his al Qaeda terrorist network. This report details the initial U.S. military response to those attacks, namely, the destruction of al Qaeda’s terrorist infrastructure and the removal of the ruling Taliban regime in Afghanistan. It first outlines the efforts of the Bush administration to prepare for war, including pulling together an effective coalition, crafting a war strategy, moving forces and materiel to the region, forging alliances with indigenous anti-Taliban elements in Afghanistan, laying the groundwork for a target-approval process, and planning for humanitarian relief operations. It then follows the unfolding of Operation Enduring Freedom from its beginning, starting with air strikes against Taliban early warning radars, airfields, ground force facilities, and other fixed targets. The author also explains how allied Special Operations Forces (SOF) were successfully inserted into Afghanistan and how those forces, enabled by U.S. air power, were eventually able to work with indigenous friendly Afghan fighters in defeating and routing the Taliban. He then outlines problems that were later encountered in Operation Anaconda- an initiative by U.S. Army forces to push into the high mountains of Afghanistan where hard-core al Qaeda holdouts were known to be regrouping. This was to be a conventional ground force operation, but unexpected resistance and resultant fierce fighting required the emergency summoning of fixed-wing air power. This air involvement proved pivotal in producing a successful outcome and, in hindsight, pointed to the failure of Operation Anaconda’s planners to make the most of the potential synergy of air, space, and land power that was available to them. The author describes some of the friction and conflicts that arose within U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) over how best to use air power in the war. Perhaps the most serious inefficiency had to do with strict rules of engagement and a resultant target-approval bottleneck at CENTCOM that often allowed many important but fleeting attack opportunities to slip away. The author emphasizes, however, several distinctive achievements in this war, including the use of SOF-enabled precision weapons that were effective irrespective of weather, the first combat use of Predator unmanned aerial vehicles armed with Hellfire missiles, and the integrated employment of high-altitude drones and other air- and space-based sensors that gave CENTCOM unprecedented round-the-clock awareness of enemy activity.

Blickstein, J. Gordon, P. A. Wilson, J. Riposo. 2005. In the global security environment of the future, sea basing (loosely speaking, the ability to assemble, equip, and support forces from sea platforms without relying on land bases) will be critical to the Navy and Marine Corps' ability to project-and sustain-forces ashore. With sea basing, Marine combat power can build up more quickly in a littoral area, and the need to move large amounts of supplies ashore will be minimized. As such, sea basing clearly will be useful in the event of joint forcible entry operations (JFEOs). This monograph describes the global environment in which JFEOs might occur and the role of naval power in that environment. It also examines and analyzes various options for substituting naval ships built to commercial standards (so-called black hulls) for those built to military specifications (so-called gray hulls) to achieve cost savings or enhanced performance.

Urban areas are notorious for complicating operational planning, command, control, and the communications that facilitate the three. Frequent interruptions of line of sight due to the prolificacy of man-made structures interfere with radio and global positioning system signals. They often combine with extreme noise, dust, smoke, and light conditions to impede leader control at all echelons. The density of noncombatants and their potentially crucial influence on friendly force success further demand effective employment and synchronization of psychological operations, civil affairs, public affairs, and other resources. Savvy use of existent systems, employing decentralized control procedures, and innovation all have their place in overcoming these inherent limitations in the service of achieving objectives across the spectrum of conflict.

U.S. government decisionmakers face a number of challenges as they attempt to form policies that aim to dissuade terrorists from attacking the United States, divert youths from joining terrorist groups, and persuade the leaders of states and nongovernmental institutions to withhold support for terrorists. The successes or failures of such policies and campaigns have long-lasting effects. This report attempts to help these decisionmakers see the potential use of influence campaigns in the war on terrorism. To do this, the authors gauge the lessons learned from past U.S. operations, analyzing the "de-Nazification" efforts of postwar Germany, the psychological operations conducted during the Vietnam War, and the support of anticommunist movements and resources in Poland throughout the Cold War. Although stipulating that influence campaigns are highly sensitive to their respective operational environments, the authors arrive at the following general guidelines for the use of persuasion in the struggle against terrorism: match objectives, message, and delivery to the audience; incorporate feedback mechanisms in the planning stage; and set realistic expectations. They then apply these guidelines to three different types of audiences in the Muslim worldYemen, Indonesia, and diaspora communities in Germany. The authors note that the use of strategic influence is not and probably never will be a "silver bullet" to removing the threat of terrorism; however, the research herein should help bring U.S. decisionmakers closer in refining how and in what circumstances such campaigns can best be applied.

California's public schools, once considered to be among the nation's best, are now being questioned as to their condition, performance, and ability to meet the needs of the state's diverse student population. This report describes the condition and performance of California's K-12 public schools. It describes the schools' student population, the resources provided to the schools (finances, teachers, and facilities), and the schools' outcomes. In looking at the outcomes, it first focuses on student academic achievement, as measured by standardized tests, and then turns to outcomes that schools may influence and that are inadequately captured in test scores. These include both educational attainment measures (high school graduation and continuation on to college) and nonacademic measures (teenage pregnancy, substance abuse, and delinquency). The report analyzes trends within the state and compares California to other states and to the nation as a whole. Online access: http://www.rand.org/publications/MG/ MG186/. MG-191-A Steeling the Mind: Combat Stress Reactions and Their Implications for Urban Warfare. T. C. Helmus, R. W. Glenn. 2005. Combat stress casualties are not necessarily higher in city operations than operations on other types of terrain. Commanders and NCOs in the U.S. military should develop the necessary skills to treat and prevent stress casualties and understand their implications for urban operations. Consequently, the authors provide an overview of combat stress reaction (CSR) in the form of a review of its known precipitants, its battlefield treatment, and the preventive steps commanders can take to limit its extent and severity. In addition, to enhance the understanding of the risks that urban operations pose to the development of CSR, the authors interviewed participants in former urban operations and reviewed historical and contemporary documents. Many of those interviewed suggest that urban operations are inordinately stressful and that the risk of CSR may be high. But historical data from the battles of Brest, Manila, and Hue, as well as others, show no evidence of increased rates of stress casualties. The authors also review treatment and prevention steps from the perspective of military operations on urbanized terrain. Online access: http://www.rand.org/publications/MG/ MG191/. MG-193-AF Lessons from Operation Iraqi Freedom. K. F. Lynch, J. G. Drew, R. S. Tripp, C. R. Roll. 2005. Since 1997, RAND has studied options for configuring an Agile Combat Support (ACS) system that would enable the achievement of Air and Space Expeditionary Force (AEF) goals. Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) offered an opportunity to examine the implementation of new ACS concepts in a wartime environment. In 2000, Project AIR FORCE helped evaluate combat support lessons from Joint Task Force Noble Anvil (JTF NA), the U.S. component of Operation Allied Force, in Serbia. In 2002, Project AIR FORCE evaluated combat support lessons from Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), in Afghanistan. Some of the concepts and lessons learned from JTF NA and OEF were implemented in supporting OIF. Supporting Air and Space Expeditionary Forces: Lessons from Operation Iraqi Freedom presents an analysis of combat support experiences associated with Operation Iraqi Freedom, the war in Iraq, and compares these experiences with those associated with JTF NA, in Serbia, and the first 100 days of OEF. The analysis offered an opportunity to compare findings and implications from JTF NA, OEF, and OIF. Its objectives were to indicate how combat support performed in the OIF scenario; examine how ACS concepts were implemented in OIF; and compare JTF NA, OEF, and OIF experiences to determine similarities and 192 applicability of lessons across experiences and to determine whether some experiences are unique to particular scenarios. The report focuses on experiences from OIF and what those experiences imply for combat support system design to ensure that AEF goals can be achieved. Combat support planning and execution (CSC2) processes and command and control organizational alignments have improved since JTF NA and OEF. The implementation of pieces of the future, or TO-BE, CSC2 operational architecture aided in this development, although integrating deliberate planning processes and crisis planning activities requires more work. As well, austere forward operation locations (FOLs) and an immature theater infrastructure made early planning, knowledge of the theater, and FOL preparation more important. Survey information to develop FOLs was more readily available during OIF because of other ongoing operations in the region. The Commander, Air Combat Command (ACC/CC), sponsored this research, which was conducted in the Resource Management Program of RAND's Project AIR FORCE, in coordination with the Air Force Deputy Chief of Staff for Installations and Logistics (AF/IL). The research for this report was completed in August 2003. This report should be of interest to logisticians, operators, and mobility planners throughout the Department of Defense, especially those in the Air Force.

Pung, G. T. Lee, M. V. Arena, J. L. Birkler. 2005. The United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence (MOD) is preparing for the construction of the Royal Navy's two new Future Aircraft Carriers (CVFs), slated to enter service in 2012 and 2015, respectively. The CVFs could be the largest warships ever built in the United Kingdom. But what will the best construction strategies be, and will the UK workforce be able to meet the demands posed by the CVF in addition to the Royal Navy's other ongoing programmes? At the request of the MOD, the RAND Corporation looked at the risks of current UK shipbuilding practices and estimated the cost implications of using alternative manufacturing options. The researchers gathered information primarily via surveys sent to major shipbuilders in the United Kingdom, the United States, and across Europe. They find, generally, that UK shipbuilders should continue to use their current subcontracting practices but also take advantage of standards such as those used in commercial outfitting in the rest of Europe and Asia, which focus on installation and assembly at the earliest possible construction phase. The researchers also encourage MOD shipbuilding programmes to identify subcontractors as early as possible and to subsequently include them in the design process.

Schank, H. Pung, G. T. Lee, M. V. Arena, J. L. Birkler, D. Rushworth, J. Chiesa, J. Riposo, C. A. Grammich. 2005. After a decade of reduced demand for naval ships, the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence (MOD) is preparing to embark on an ambitious plan to modernize a large portion of its fleet. This increase in naval shipbuilding will present a challenge to the shipbuilding industrial base, which consolidated and reduced resources due to the decreased demand for naval ships and the loss of a commercial market. With an eye to bettering the processes of military shipbuilding, the MOD's Defence Procurement Agency (DPA) asked the RAND Corporation to look at ways in which the agency could gain insights and understanding into shipbuilding issues with the aim of strengthening project planning, promoting efficiencies, and improving management. The series herein provides insights and answers the following specific questions: —How could greater use of advanced outfitting to reduce shipyard workload and of outsourcing to expand the organizations in the shipbuilding industrial base in the Future Aircraft Carrier Programme increase the likelihood of on-schedule completion of that and other DPA programmes? —What metrics would keep DPA informed on the progress towards completion of ship construction projects and why do DPA funded programs tend to lag commercial projects in on-time completion rates? —How are military and commercial shipbuilding different, and what are the implications for diversifying the UK shipbuilding industry's customer base? These reports should be of special interest not only to the DPA, but also to service and defence agency managers and policymakers involved in shipbuilding on both sides of the Atlantic. It should also be of interest to shipbuilding industrial executives in the United Kingdom. MG-202-OSD Modeling Reserve Recruiting: Estimates of Enlistments. J. Arkes, M. R. Kilburn. 2005. Reserve components are increasingly being called upon to provide support across the entire spectrum of military operations and have been key to operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Therefore, the issue of their readiness is critical for national military strategy. The authors examine reserve recruiting and the likely challenges facing the reserve components in the future. The authors make a methodological contribution by separately examining prior-service and non-prior-service recruits into the reserves, with the justification that the two types of recruits are typically at different stages of life and face 193 different choices. With an emphasis on non-prior-service recruits, the authors estimate a model that incorporates the simultaneous decisions of recruits to join the reserves, active duty, or neither. The authors find that several policy, demographic, and economic factors had sizeable and significant effects on both active duty and reserve recruiting. States with educational incentives for National Guard members have higher numbers of both reserve and active duty recruits. In general, at lower levels of recruiter density, both active duty and reserve recruiting benefit from the addition of another recruiter, but as the number of recruiters rise, this benefit becomes successively smaller. In addition, higher unemployment rates boosted both reserve and active duty recruiting, and larger portions of minority populations (including black and Hispanic) are also strong predictors of recruiting success. The authors examined other variables, including state rates of college education, state tuition rates, varying characteristics of civilian employers, and demand of home and family activities on men's time. The authors found that new approaches for models that estimate prior-service reserve recruiting need to be developed that do not rely so heavily on identifying a state for prior active duty members.

This report addresses initial efforts to expand the Army's logistics-process improvement efforts initiative by applying an integrative approach to improving the responsiveness, reliability, and efficiency of the Army's national-level inventory management and depot-level component-repair processes. The goal of these processes is to repair sufficient assets to replenish serviceable inventories to meet the needs of requirements determined to support equipment readiness. The examination of the reparable-management process identified three key issues that need to be addressed: (1) the impact of uncertainty and variability in customer demands on long-term planning forecasts; (2) the need for increased emphasis on near-term replanning for execution; and (3) the inability of repair responsiveness to meet changing requirements. A case study of the M88A1 armored recovery vehicle engine is used to illustrate the integrated process-improvement approach, and a variety of alternatives for improving both planning and repair activities are presented. It is suggested that a pilot effort be undertaken to develop and test alternative approaches to the implementation of improvement initiatives. The results obtained in a pilot implementation could be measured, rules could be adjusted, and confidence would be developed in the selected improvement approaches.

To help the U.S. Army with force planning for the 2025 era, this study uses the tool of alternative futures analysis. It bounds the future the Army will face by laying out a representative spectrum of different "future worlds" that hopefully illustrate the complete universe of future missions. By mixing and matching possible trends across five key areas (geopolitics, economics, demographics, technology, and environment), six alternative futures are created: "U.S. unipolarity" and "democratic peace" (best cases), "major competitor rising" and "competitive multipolarity" (medium-good cases), "transnational web" (medium-bad case), and "chaos/anarchy" (worst case). After explaining the main features of each future, the study creates an appropriate "Army type" for each, through a three-step process: (1) a representative combat scenario was created for each future, (2) the strategies-totasks methodology was used to set out the raw capabilities needed for a given scenario, and (3) the force characteristics and size required to meet the needs presented in the capability statements were formulated. All the needed characteristics were then bundled together to form a basic Army type for a given future. The report concludes with a review and discussion of the common desired characteristics found across the six types. Online access: http://www.rand.org/publications/MG/MG219/. MG-225-HE Improving Maternal and Child Health Care: A Blueprint for Community Action in the Pittsburgh Region. H. A. Pincus, S. B. Thomas, D. J. Keyser, N. Castle, J. W. Dembosky, R. W. Firth, M. D. Greenberg, N. Pollock, E. Reis, V. Sansing, S. H. Scholle. 2005. Community leaders in the Pittsburgh region have long recognized the critical importance of the health and wellbeing of mothers, infants, and young children and have made intensive efforts to develop effective communitybased early childhood interventions and support services. Despite these efforts, in several key areas, mothers and young children in this community are not receiving the health care services they need, and the result is premature illness and preventable death. In 2002, The Heinz Endowments commissioned the RAND Corporation and the University of Pittsburgh, in partnership with the Department of Health and Department of Human Services in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, to establish a learning collaborative of local stakeholders to (1) catalyze new thinking around the best evidence and practice for maternal and child health care; (2) assess the strengths, weaknesses, and barriers to improvement in the current system; (3) identify targets for local policy reform; and (4) develop a blueprint for action. This report provides an overview of the community-based approach through 194 which this work was undertaken, highlights key study findings, and outlines a vision, strategy, and action plan for achieving systemwide improvements in maternal and child health care processes and outcomes.

The support of the American public is widely held to be a critical prerequisite for undertaking military action abroad. This monograph examines American public opinion about the use of military force in support of the global war on terrorism (GWOT). Its purpose is to describe public attitudes toward wars and other large military operations over the last decade, to delineate the sources of support and opposition for each war or operation, to identify the principal fault lines in support, and to illuminate the factors that are consistent predictors of support for and opposition to military operations. Although the focus is on public opinion toward U.S. military operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, and other GWOT-related theaters of action, the authors also examine public opinion on a number of military operations conducted before the attacks of September 11, 2001, including the final stages of the U.S. military intervention in Somalia and the U.S. interventions in Haiti, Bosnia, and Kosovo.

V. Arena, J. L. Birkler, J. F. Schank, J. Riposo, C. A. Grammich. 2005. As part of the annual assessment of its large projects, the Defence Procurement Agency (DPA), part of the UK Ministry of Defence, measures 'slippage'-the delay between a promised in-service date and the actual or projected in-service date. In response to the slippage of some recent shipbuilding programmes, the DPA asked RAND to analyze how major shipbuilders and contractors monitor programme progress, to consider what information would be useful for shipbuilders to provide the agency,and to understand why ships are delivered late and why commercial shipbuilders maintain a much better schedule performance than do military builders. The researchers surveyed major US, UK, and other European shipbuilders and found that earned value management was the more common method used to monitor progress. From this and other metrics and procedures observed, the researchers recommend that the DPA consider adapting some of the current commercial practices, including incentives for on-time deliveries and the use of on-site representatives to quickly resolve late decision changes. The implementation of such recommendations could reduce cost and improve schedule performance. Online access: http://www.rand.org/publications/MG/MG235/. MG-236-MOD Differences Between Military and Commercial Shipbuilding: Implications for the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence. J. L. Birkler, D. Rushworth, J. Chiesa, H. Pung, M. V. Arena, J. F. Schank. 2004. In the United Kingdom, the shipbuilding industry is sustained largely by the government's purchases of naval and naval auxiliary vessels. The desire for a continuing efficient and robust shipbuilding industry has prompted the UK Ministry of Defence to ask: Can the United Kingdom's shipbuilding industry compete more broadly in commercial or foreign military markets? The prospects for broadening UK shipyards' customer base appear to be poor. The United Kingdom would face strong competitors in attempting to re-enter the commercial shipbuilding market. Japan and South Korea dominate the market for ships of low and moderate complexity, mostly cargo ships and tankers of varying types. EU shipyards dominate the market for more-complex ships such as passenger vessels, although that market segment is also under pressure from Asian shipbuilders. The United Kingdom certainly has a stronger industrial base to support military sales than it does in the commercial arena, but the match between most current UK military ship products and global demand is not a close one. The military export market is largely a market for modestly priced frigates and small conventionally powered attack submarines. It is not clear that a UK shipyard could build a conventional submarine at a competitive price; UK warships are, in general, too sophisticated and expensive to make them interesting to potential importers. Furthermore, export contracts often require that most ships in an order be built in the importing country, thus limiting the benefit such sales may have for the exporter's construction workforce.

Riposo, H. Thie, E. G. Keating, M. V. Arena, H. Pung, J. L. Birkler, J. R. Chiesa. 2005. In 2012 and 2015, respectively, the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence (MOD) will replace its three Invincible-class aircraft carriers with two Future Aircraft Carriers (CVFs), the largest ships ever constructed for the Royal Navy. In preparation for this project, the MOD asked RAND to look at the economic implications, schedule impact, and technical risks of adopting new technologies and alternative manufacturing options. The research described in this report, based on the design and manning data available at the time, focuses on possible reductions in whole-life costs and manpower requirements 195 of the carriers. Concerning reduced acquisition costs-based on figures from various cost analysis models-the researchers suggest options such as using construction practices from the commercial shipbuilding industry plus commercial systems and equipment in place of military standard equipment wherever there is no adverse impact on operations or safety. Regarding personnel cost savings and complement-reducing initiatives, the researchers look towards the practices of private-sector shipbuilding companies and of navies around the globe. Based on this analysis, they recommend, for example, promoting a cross-trained workforce with broad skills and using civilians to augment the ship's crew for nonwarfare responsibilities. Options for reducing the complement examine the trade-offs of increased up-front investments in technology with the corresponding manpower reductions. As the CVF Integrated Project Team continues to explore its many options, the researchers remain optimistic that, given several factors indicated, the CVF's targets can be reached.

C. Dixon, E. N. Loredo. 2005. Continuing a sequence of RAND Corporation reports considering aging aircraft and the decision whether to repair or to replace them, this report presents a model of the repair-replace decision and data describing the C-5A cargo aircraft. In the report, the authors examine the decision whether to modify or retire the C-5A fleet. They also extend the modeling approach to evaluate prospective investment in additional depot-level capacity. The study's preliminary conclusions are that the C-5A's planned reliability enhancement and re-engining program modification is worthwhile if it occurs soon, as are investments in its depot-level capacity. The U.S. Air Force highly values an available C-5A year. Hence, the model is averse to large-scale queuing and delay in the C-5A maintenance system.

A loosely connected set of providers, clients, sponsors, and intermediaries make up the local markets referred to as the out-of-school-time (OST) field. This field and the actors in it have been evolving in response to shifts in the economy, the growing demand for services associated with increased numbers of working mothers in the labor force, concerns over youth development or the lack thereof, and increased academic expectations for youth programs. This report presents the findings of a broad- ranging literature review intended to identify, frame, and assess relevant OST issues. Drawing on recent studies the authors provide an objective view of the politicized debate over the future of the field. They identify and address the level of demand for OST services, the effectiveness of offerings, what constitutes quality in OST programs, how to encourage participation, and how to build further community capacity. The report provides recommendations for improving the current debate over provision. Online access: http://www.rand.org/ publications/MG/MG242/. MG-244-RC Unexploded Ordnance Cleanup Costs: Implications of Alternative Protocols. J. MacDonald, C. Mendez. 2005. With continued military downsizing and base closures, cleanup of unexploded ordnance (UXO) at former weapons ranges has become one of the most costly environmental problems the military faces. This study examines cost estimation for UXO remediation conducted at closed military installations, the difficulties of accurately estimating cleanup costs, and the major effects that different cleanup requirements and methods can have on cost. It assesses previous estimates of UXO cleanup costs and evaluates the strengths and limitations of the military's preferred cost-estimation tool, the remedial Action Cost Engineering Requirements (RACER) software package. Using a modified method of implementing RACER, the study shows how costs change depending on which cleanup protocol is followed. The results show that the choice of cleanup protocol has major cost implications. Online access: http://www.rand.org/ publications/MG/MG244/. MG-253-OSD Military Reengineering Between the World Wars. B. D. Steele. 2005. This study analyzes the contrasting military responses of various militaries to the internal combustion engine between World War I and World War II. The Italian, British, and American armies adopted the tank but left basic military processes intact. The French army, virtually all of the naval forces, and the U.S. Army Air Corps changed their processes (i.e., reengineered) but based their work on fallacious strategic assumptions. The Red Army, the German Wehrmacht, and the U.S. Marine Corps, despite relatively successful reengineering attempts, discovered serious shortfalls when their new forces were exposed to combat but were able to use feedback to correct the errors of their peacetime reengineering efforts. For the Germans, however, such feedback came too late to avoid catastrophic defeat. Five conditions are necessary for successful military reengineering: a willingness to exploit new technological opportunities systematically; the ability to anticipate and prepare for the range of future strategic demands; securing sufficient resources (financial, 196 material, and human) for the reengineering process-both externally from civilian political authorities and internally from the military ranks; the ability to balance the skilled, traditional warrior and the scientific or rational analyst; and the ability to objectively diagnose weaknesses in the reengineered processes and to proceed to correct them expeditiously. The countries' experiences have lessons for modern-day efforts to transform U.S. military forces. Online access: http://www.rand.org/publications/MG/ MG253/. MG-255-EDU Examining Gaps in Mathematics Achievement Among Racial Ethnic Groups, 1972–1992. M. Berends, S. R. Lucas, T. Sullivan, R. J. Briggs. 2005. As schools in the United States become more output driven, students, educators, administrators, and policymakers are being held accountable for improving the academic achievement of all students. Federal education policy now mandates that states, districts, and schools monitor achievement gaps among students of different socioeconomic, racial-ethnic, and language groups. This book examines several nationally representative senior high school student cohorts between the early 1970s to early 1990s to understand trends in the mathematics scores of these different racial-ethnic groups, and analyzes how changes in family, school, and schooling measures help explain changes in the test score gaps over time. The authors find that there were positive changes in some socioeconomic family background characteristics for black and Latino students, helping them narrow the gap with white students. Moreover, although there were few positive changes between schools, the within-school experiences of black and Latino students changed for the better compared with white students when measured by student self-reported academic track placement. Despite some beneficial changes for black and Latino students, inequalities persist. The authors point out the possibilities of various policies that address improving the socioeconomic and educational opportunities of students. Policymakers should think in more creative, coordinated, and comprehensive ways if the nation is to more effectively address student achievement gaps.

In this book, RAND experts in public policy and management suggest practical ways to implement the recommendations and define a research agenda for the future. This volume comprises thirteen essays that address the primary problem areas identified by the Volcker Commission, along with the text of the commission report itself.

R. Greenberg. c2005. The process for evaluating the severity of permanent disabilities due to workplace injuries for the purpose of determining workers' compensation benefits has long been a matter of considerable controversy in California. The state's disability rating system has been criticized as being inconsistent and prone to promote disputes over the appropriate level of permanent disability benefits. This monograph follows up on an earlier interim briefing on California's permanent disability rating schedule. Here, the authors provide a systematical evaluation of California's permanent disability ratings system that was used prior to the state's 2004 workers' compensation reform efforts. They examine the extent to which workers with higher disability ratings experience higher earnings losses, and the extent to which workers with similar ratings for impairments in different parts of the body experience similar earnings losses. Among other analyses, they examine the consistency with which physicians evaluate the same injuries. They discuss the implication of these results, for California and potentially for other states, with a focus on interpreting the results in light of the recent reforms.

Overholt. 2005. To help the U.S. Air Force assess the resources the government of the People's Republic of China is likely to spend on its military over the next two decades, this study projects future growth in Chinese government expenditures as a whole and the military in particular, evaluates the current and likely future capabilities of China's defense industries, and compares likely future Chinese expenditures on defense with recent expenditures by the United States and the U.S. Air Force. Although economic growth in China is destined to slow, output will still triple by 2025. In addition, government reforms hold the promise of improving the weak performance of China's defense industries. Although the researchers' high-end forecast of military expenditures is based on the assumption that the Chinese government would be able to spend 5.0 percent of GDP on defense, they believe that 197 pressures within China to increase social spending on health care, pensions, education, and the environment, coupled with the costs of paying the Chinese government's liabilities, make it more likely that military spending will not rise above 2.3 percent of GDP. Using a combination of projected market and purchasing power parity exchange rates, the authors forecast that Chinese military spending is likely to rise from an estimated $69 billion in 2003 to $185 billion by 2025-approximately 61 percent of what the Department of Defense spent in 2003.

This monograph examines the relationship between recruiting practices and conditions and the first-term success of Army soldiers. Success in the first term is important to the Army because recruiting soldiers is expensive. If soldiers fail to complete their first terms, the Army must recruit others to replace them, effectively doubling the cost. Given the expense of recruiting, the Army should reassess whether some management strategies could improve the success rates for first-term soldiers. Events in a soldier's first term that show a statistically significant relation to early loss include length of time in the Delayed Entry Program, gender (women have consistently higher rates of attrition at each stage of the first enlistment), and education (soldiers without high school diplomas drop out at an increased rate beginning with advanced individual training). Attrition can also vary depending on the training installation, but high loss rates during basic training have no effect on subsequent attrition. Thus, it does not appear that applying higher standards in basic training reduces subsequent attrition in the enlistment cohort. All other things being equal, soldiers in combat arms have higher attrition rates than do those in other occupations. Finally, promotion correlates positively with retention. Equally interesting are the influences that do not appear to make a major difference. These include participation in the Army College Fund, term of enlistment, the recruiting environment, and characteristics of recruiters. Recommendations include shorter time in the Delayed Entry Program for high school seniors, a revisiting of the fitness training unit concept, and imposition of consistent training standards and policies. The monograph also recommends exploring policies to help at-risk demographic groups such as women and recruits who hold GEDs, as well as a review of the promotion program to ensure that the most able soldiers are getting promoted.

Kingston, M. S. Tseng. 2005. The authors of this report seek to understand how network-centric operations (NCO) capabilities are a source of combat power for the Army's Stryker brigade and to determine the extent to which the tenets of NCO are realized by the unit. Using a broad range of measures of effectiveness, the authors compared the performance of a Stryker brigade with that of a nondigitized light infantry brigade in certification exercises at the Joint Readiness Training Center and found that the Stryker brigade's superior networking capabilities, superior shared situational awareness, speed of command, and ability to control the speed of command vastly improved the brigade's performance in these exercises. Using NCO measures of effectiveness, this analysis shed light on the NCO capabilities that made the Stryker brigade a more agile and effective combat force. The authors conclude by discussing the potential implications of future NCO capabilities for future Army forces. Online access: http://www.rand.org/publications/MG/MG267–1/. MG-268-OSD Network-Centric Operations Case Study: Air-to-Air Combat with and Without Link 16. D. R. Gonzales, J. S. Hollywood, G. Kingston, D. Signori. 2005. The Link 16 communications system enables networkcentric operations (NCO) in ways that voice-only communications cannot. How does Link 16 increase the mission effectiveness of U.S. air forces in combat translate into success in the air-to-air battle? More than 12,000 sorties were flown in the Joint Tactical Information Distribution System Operational Special Project, where Link 16 and voice-only communications systems were evaluated. Using a series of NCO performance metrics, the authors measured results and determined which areas were improved by the use of Link 16 and by how much compared to the voice-only system. They employed the NCO Conceptual Framework to assess the results of the project and found the framework's inference chains consistent with the observations of experienced pilots. The almost threefold increase in force effectiveness with the Link 16 shows the merits of the system and NCO concepts. The authors conclude that further case studies should be conducted to examine more complex mission areas and provide further understanding of NCO concepts.

Accurate estimates of the software cost are a critical part of effective program management, particularly for large, 198 complex systems. Predicting the cost of software has evolved, but the practice of cost prediction is far from perfect. Military and commercial programs alike are replete with examples of software cost estimates that differ significantly from the actual costs at completion. Software Cost Estimation and Sizing Methods: Issues and Guidelines recommends an approach to improving the utility and accuracy of software cost estimates by exposing uncertainty (in understanding the project) and reducing the risks associated with developing the estimates. The approach focuses on characteristics of the estimation process (such as which methods and models are most appropriate for a given situation) and the nature of the data used (such as software size). It describes risks in each of these factors in terms of symptoms and warning signs, and mitigation strategies for each. The techniques described in this report are based on a literature review and on analysis of software estimation and risk, in addition to general lessons and guidance adapted from selected programs. This report should be of particular interest to those organizations or agencies that use software estimates in the planning, budgeting, developing, or purchasing of software-intensive systems. It should also be of value to those involved in research and analysis of estimation models and techniques. Online access: http://www. rand.org/publications/MG/MG269/. MG-270-OCW Stimulating Science and Technology in Higher Education: An International Comparison of Policy Measure and Their Effectiveness. R. Hamer, E. Frinking, E. Horlings, S. Simmons. 2005. RAND Europe has performed a study for the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science. This study aims to increase the understanding regarding the influence of societal developments and policy initiatives on the attractiveness and uptake of science and technology in higher education. This study consists of an international comparison across six European countries, examining how students make decisions about entering a certain study and assessing whether and how policies are addressing these factors. The report concludes with a set of recommendations to improve the low uptake of S&T in the Netherlands. Online access: http://www.rand.org/ publications/MG/MG270/. MG-274-AF An Assessment of Air Force Data on Contract Expenditures. L. S. Dixon, C. Shirley, L. H. Baldwin, J. A. Ausink, N. Campbell. c2005. For the past several years, the U.S. Air Force has been using data from the Individual Contracting Action Report form, also known as the DD350, to analyze its goods and services expenditures. This analysis is part of the Air Force's efforts to develop new purchasing and supply management strategies for important categories of goods and services. For this study, the authors collected data from Air Force contracting officers on a sample of fiscal year 2002 (FY02) DD350 records to assess the adequacy and accuracy of DD350 data for conducting expenditure analyses. The authors then extrapolated their findings from the sample to reflect all Air Force FY02 DD350 contract actions. Among other findings, the authors determined that the Product Service Codes (PSCs) used in the DD350 forms are not detailed enough to capture the full range of various goods and services purchased by the Air Force and the PSCs for nearly 50 percent of contract actions are coded inaccurately.

How can the Air Force and the other services profit from the experience of these two very different development programs? The F/A-18E/F is a new platform, but it incorporates some of the key components of the legacy platform. The F/A-22, on the other hand, is completely new, but the authors believe the divergent histories of the two-the F/A-22 has been delayed 52 months and has experienced cost overruns while the F/A-18E/F was developed on time and on budget-have lessons to teach future acquisition decisionmakers. In this report, the authors present a detailed history of the two programs and conclude that these decisionmakers can take several steps to reduce risk and improve the acquisition process, including setting realistic schedule and cost estimates, establishing a stable and experienced development team, being aware of the risks entailed in concurrent development of new technology, and carefully monitoring airframe weight.

Dolter, S. Pieklik, W. Tu, J. S. Ashwood, S. Cretin. 2005. In partnership with the Army Medical Department (AMEDD), RAND researchers have been working to implement clinical practice guidelines in treatment of three common ailments (diabetes, asthma, and low back pain). This report is an evaluation of the diabetes practice guideline demonstration. It documents the extent to which intended actions were implemented, assesses short-term effects on clinical practices, and measures the quality and limitations of available data for monitoring practice improvements and clinical outcomes. The authors found that, although the implementation scored some notable successes, resource limitations and organizational barriers curbed overall progress. They conclude that allowing for flexibility, providing adequate resources, and learning from experience are the keys to implementing practice 199 guidelines throughout AMEDD.

Is the Army getting what it needs and managing risks appropriately in its combat service support contracts? This report uses the Army's Balkans Support Contract and a continuous risk-management framework to answer these questions. On the basis of this case study, the authors conclude that the Army has been getting what it needs, though it might, at times, be bearing too much cost-related risk, and that few risks arise directly from the use of contractors. They also see a need for more training for the Army's contracting personnel to better plan, coordinate, and manage contracts. Online access: http://www.rand. org/publications/MG/MG282/. MG-284-AF Building a Multinational Global Navigation Satellite System: An Initial Look. R. Lewis, M. Kennedy, E. Ghashghai, G. Bitko. 2005. The European Union plans to have its positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT) system, Galileo, in initial operation in 2008. As envisioned, Galileo will function and perform similarly to the U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS), the preeminent PNT system now in existence. Policy leaders and technical experts have been attempting to find cooperative ways to provide users with the benefits of both systems in the future, but there is concern about the kinds of effects the existence of this new system may have on U.S. economic and security interests. The authors concentrate on the economic impact of competition and cooperation that could result from the implementation and operation of Galileo in the presence of GPS. The competitive environment is defined in terms of system interoperability and/or compatibility, strategies that could be used to foster Galileo adoption, and schedules for GPS modernization and Galileo development. The cooperative environment is characterized as variation on the competitive environment. Information for the study was gathered through literature reviews, discussions with domain experts, and industry surveys. Recommendations for the United States to consider now in anticipation of Galileo becoming a reality are offered. Online access: http://www.rand.org/publications/MG/MG284/. MG-288-RWJ Just Cause or Just Because? Prosecution and Plea-Bargaining Resulting in Prison Sentences on Low-Level Drug Charges in California and Arizona. K. J. Riley, N. Rodriguez, G. K. Ridgeway, D. Barnes-Proby, T. Fain, N. G. Forge, V. Webb, L. J. Demaine. 2005 In recent years, Arizona and California overwhelmingly passed ballot initiatives that were expected to divert minor, nonviolent drug offenders from incarceration-jail and prison-to treatment. With respect to the prison population, it was unknown whether low-level drug offenders had a violent or lengthy criminal history that made prosecutors reluctant to drop the low-level drug charge, whether the quantity or type of drug involved influenced the prosecution pattern, and whether there were differences across racial groups in the prosecution of low-level drug offenders. This study was designed to fill those knowledge gaps. The evidence from the period before the implementation of the initiatives supports prosecutors' hypotheses that offenders sent to prison on low-level drug charges generally had more severe criminal histories, were involved with harder drugs, or were caught with substantial quantities. The report's findings also show that marijuana offenders are not first- or second-time offenders and are not treated more "harshly" or more "leniently" than other drug offenders. The authors generally found no differences in treatment of racial/ethnic groups, though in some cases small sample sizes made it difficult to reach definitive conclusions. Plea-bargaining for prison-bound low-level drug offenders appears to be used in a manner consistent with prosecutorial practices aimed at incarcerating drug offenders who are perceived to present a greater threat to the community.

Smith, B. Alkire, M. V. Arena, J. L. Birkler, J. R. Chiesa, E. G. Keating, L. Schmidt. 2005. As the Navy builds the last of its Nimitz-class carriers, it asked RAND to study the trade-offs involved in accelerating the production of its new CVN 21 carrier while hastening the retirement of some of the Nimitz fleet. What are the trade-offs involved in terms of cost, capability, and fleet size? RAND researchers looked at the Navy's existing plan and compared it with several alternatives and discovered that the Navy could modernize its fleet with the higher-performance, lower-cost CVN 21 at a cost premium no greater than 12 percent over its current plan. Allowing for the CVN's greater capability might permit the Navy to justify a smaller fleet size while it modernizes, and aggressive cost-cutting moves could reduce the cost premium significantly. The authors find no industrial base impediments to accelerating the program and conclude that the importance the Navy attaches to the increased fleet value premium should determine whether the increased cost is a good investment.

Szanto. 2005. The third in a series that examines the state of the arts in America, this analysis shows, in addition to lines around the block for special exhibits, well-paid superstar artists, flourishing university visual arts programs, and a global expansion of collectors, developments in the visual arts also tell a story of rapid, even seismic change, systemic imbalances, and dislocation. Using the performing arts as a comparison, this book shows that the visual arts appear better suited to the changing consumption and life styles of American consumers. Their visual character, for example, makes them easily and readily experienced. They require less time commitment than other art forms and their appreciation can be tailored to Americans’ patterns of leisure consumption. But is the current picture as rosy as rising attendance figures and art price indices suggest? And will this success continue into the future? Using a systemwide approach to examine the visual arts in the context of the broader arts environment and to identify the major challenges they face, this book examines the possible answers to these questions. Earlier books in the series include The Performing Arts in a New Era (MR1367-PCT, 2001) and From Celluloid to Cyberspace: The Media Arts and the Changing Arts World (MR-1552-RF, 2002).

In the Department of Defense, 63 distinct acquisition reform (AR) initiatives were undertaken in the 1989–2002 period. This monograph classifies the initiatives according to various criteria: basic AR theme; relationship to acquisition functions; Army recognition; coverage in the DoD 5000 series; relationship to Under Secretary Aldridge's five goals; coverage in Defense Acquisition University curricula; and relationship to industry attractiveness and return-on-investment models. The analysis made use of interviews with industry and Army Program Management personnel, who were asked: What has been good about acquisition reform? What has been bad? What would you change? In general, industry and Army Program Management personnel acknowledge that some good has come from some AR initiatives, but they argue that many serious structural and cultural impediments still remain that hinder the ability of the acquisition process to deliver desired outcomes in terms of cost, schedule, and performance.

McDonald, B. Raymond, F. Wu. 2005. The eArmyU continuing education program allows enlisted soldiers to earn college credits while on active duty. This study sought to determine how to make eArmyU available to more individuals while controlling program costs. Historically, the primary cost of eArmyU had been attributed to the laptop computer provided through the program. This study examined the effects of the existing eArmyU program and of removing the laptop or other provisions on outcomes including soldiers' participation in the program, retention, duty performance, and quality of life. Four analytical approaches were used: a pilot test of alternative eArmyU programs, focus groups at pilot test sites, analysis of personnel records of enrollees and nonenrollees in eArmyU, and an educational interest and career plans survey of 8,000 enlisted soldiers. Those especially likely to enroll in eArmyU include: African Americans, females, AFQT Category I-IIIA soldiers, married soldiers, soldiers with dependents, and senior soldiers. The fully funded laptop is an important element underlying soldiers' participation in eArmyU; without it, eArmyU participation rates and the retention benefits of eArmyU are likely to decline significantly. Personnel records indicate that the current eArmyU program is associated with increased retention: eArmyU participants have one year longer to their ETS date than demographically similar nonparticipants and 25 to 30 percent of participants extend or reenlist to participate. Study recommendations include ways to achieve the goals of increasing enlisted access to education opportunities, constraining eArmyU costs, and limiting soldiers' risk of recoupment.

Marquis, J. Riposo, G. T. Lee. 2005. The United Kingdom has many contracted and prospective naval shipbuilding programmes on the horizon over the next two decades, ranging from the Astute-class attack submarine to the Future Aircraft Carrier (CVF). The UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) wants to know whether the United Kingdom's existing naval shipbuilding industrial base will be able to meet the requirements of the MOD's future acquisition plan. Using extensive surveys and a breadth of data, RAND researchers looked at the capacity of the UK naval shipbuilding industrial base and how alternative acquisition requirements, programmes, and schedules might affect this capability. Using the MOD's current plan, they focused on its potential impact in the areas of labour, facilities, and supplier demand. Overall, the researchers find that, using the 2004 planning assumptions, the overlap of certain large programmes 201 would cause a near-term peak in workload demand, followed by a steady decline. To minimise such inconsistencies, they suggest that the MOD in the near term consider, among other options, shifting the scheduling of the labour demand (known as "levelloading"); reexamining the current UK Defence Industrial Policy to allow non-UK firms to meet peak demand; and using alternative facilities to assist major construction during peak workload times. For the long term, the researchers recommend, among other alternatives, that the MOD make long-term industrial planning outlooks of this report's nature a regular occurrence, define an appropriate role for the United Kingdom's supporting offshore industry, and explore the advantages of interoperable technologies for sharing design work.

Greenfield. 2005. Can the Army improve the way it measures the risks of using civilian contractors in combat? This report proposes a method for comparing the "residual risks" of using military and contract sources to perform specific support activities on the battlefield. It applies the Army's standard approach to risk assessment, which identifies sources of risk, or "threat"; the risks the threats present; the opportunities to mitigate these risks; and the risk that remains-the residual risk-when the Army chooses a particular course of action to mitigate risks. The approach considers choices of military and contract sources, with appropriate mitigation strategies, as alternative courses of action and compares the residual risks associated with each choice. The approach offers an orderly way to translate relative inherent capabilities of military and contract sources, terms of applicable status-of-forces agreements, and threats at any particular place and time on the battlefield into a comparison of the residual risks associated with military outcomes, the safety of contract personnel, resource costs, and other policy factors of greatest importance outside a particular contingency setting.

This research is based on a series of interviews with commercial sector purchasing professionals who are respected by their peers for their successful creation and implementation of what are widely accepted as best purchasing and supply management practices, particularly in the area of service acquisitions. The authors also examine such practices through conference participation and a review of the business literature. They find that commercial firms rely on results-oriented metrics that focus on how acquisition activities support corporate objectives to manage their service acquisition activities. While not a commercial firm, the Air Force can learn from commercial firms' experiences in managing its service acquisitions. The authors recommend a balanced portfolio of performance metrics for the Air Force based on the five major categories of results-oriented metrics that appeared most often in their research: cost, quality, supplier satisfaction, implementation of new initiatives, and special interest items. Commercial firms indicated that in addition to the results-oriented metrics, internal management metrics that track internal customer satisfaction, personnel training and retention, and ethics violations are also important. Selected metrics are reported to top-level executives on a regular basis. Online access: http://www.rand.org/publications/MG/MG299/. MG-301-AF Beyond Close Air Support: Forging a New Air-Ground Partnership. B. Pirnie, A. Vick, A. Grissom, K. P. Mueller, D. T. Orletsky. 2005. Recent operations in Afghanistan and Iraq have reawakened interest in the close air support (CAS) mission and have led to new efforts to improve the integration of air power and land power. The Army increasingly views air power as indispensable to its future warfighting concepts; the Air Force acknowledges the increasing importance of counterland operations but wants to ensure that air power's unique flexibility and versatility are not lost in efforts to provide on-call fires to ground forces. Whether air power or land power should predominate depends on the situation. In particular situations, either might predominate, and their relationship is likely to shift over the course of a campaign. This report examines alternative approaches to integrating air and land power, addressing three major policy questions: (1) How should air attack and ground maneuver be integrated? (2) How should the terminal attack control function be executed? (3) How should ground maneuver/fires and air attack be deconflicted? The study recommends that the Army and the Air Force work together to develop new concepts and technologies to enhance the effective partnering of air and ground forces. New processes are needed to effectively designate targets while ensuring that essential oversight remains with the terminal air controller, and improved control mechanisms should be developed to exploit the benefits of the digital battlefield. As adversaries adapt and move away from massed motorized forces operating in the open to dispersed, smaller forces exploiting difficult terrain, a well practiced and developed air-ground partnership will be increasingly necessary.

Teltschik, A. R. Timilsina. 2005. Reviews nearly 50 years of UN nation-building efforts to transform unstable countries into democratic, peaceful, and prosperous partners. The authors examine the UN's experience in the Congo, Namibia, El Salvador, Cambodia, Mozambique, Eastern Slavonia, Sierra Leone, and East Timor, as well as the U.S. experience in Iraq. The book complements the authors' earlier study, America's Role in Nation-Building: From Germany to Iraq (MR1753-RC), which focuses on U.S.-led nation-building efforts. UN missions are nearly always undermanned and underfunded, with uneven troop quality and late-arriving components. But despite these handicaps, the UN success rate among missions studied-seven out of eight societies left peaceful, six out of eight left democratic-substantiates the view that nation-building can be an effective means of terminating conflicts, insuring against their reoccurrence, and promoting democracy. The authors conclude that the UN provides the most suitable institutional framework for nation-building missions that require fewer than 20,000 men-one with a comparatively low cost structure, a comparatively high success rate, and the greatest degree of international legitimacy. American or other major power leadership is, by contrast, needed for operations which require forced-entry operations or force levels in excess of 20,000 soldiers. Unfortunately, the United States has been less successful than the UN in learning from its mistakes and improving its nation-building performance over time, and this is reflected in the lower success rate among USled missions studied in this series.

Swanger, R. Teltschik, A. R. Timilsina. 2005. This two-volume set examines United States and United Nations nation-building missions since World War II. Its purpose is to analyze military, political, humanitarian, and economic activities in post-conflict situations, determine key principles for success, and draw implications for future nation-building missions. The first volume, America's Role in Nation-Building: From Germany to Iraq, draws lessons from America's experiences in rebuilding Germany, Japan, Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Afghanistan and suggests how these lessons might be applied to the reconstruction of Iraq. Volume two, The UN's Role in Nation-Building: From the Congo to Iraq, contains the lessons learned from eight UN cases: Belgian Congo, Namibia, El Salvador, Cambodia, Mozambique, Eastern Slavonia, Sierra Leone, and East Timor, and also examines the nation-building effort in Iraq.

Harrell, R. J. Yardley, M. Oshiro, H. A. Potter, P. Schirmer, N. Lim. c2005. The Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986 forged a cultural revolution in the U.S. armed forces by improving the way in which the Department of Defense (DoD) prepares for and executes its mission, in part by addressing joint officer personnel policies and management requirements. In the past 15 years, successes in Iraq (Operations Desert Shield/Storm), Bosnia, and Afghanistan, and more recently in Operation Iraqi Freedom, testify to the effectiveness of the joint military force and its warfighting potential. However, recent studies and assessments have suggested that a strategic approach for joint officer management in terms of education, assignment, and promotion is necessary to address the challenges that DoD confronts in preparing officers to serve in joint organizations and leadership positions. This RAND research, sponsored by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Personnel and Readiness), revisits GoldwaterNichols and defines and frames a strategic approach to further officers' development in joint matters.

The Palestinian Authority, Israel, the United States, the European Union, Russia, and the United Nations all officially support the establishment of an independent Palestinian state. This study examines strategies for strengthening the health system of a potential independent Palestinian state. Successful development of the Palestinian health system is worthwhile in its own right, and it may be a relatively cost-effective way to help demonstrate the tangible benefits of independence and peaceful relations with neighboring countries. Moreover, implementation of many of the strategies described can begin prior to independence. Research for this study was mainly conducted between December 2002 and July 2003.

Fossum. 2005. 203 In recognition of the enormous health needs of developing countries-most notably stemming from infectious diseases and the lack of basic health care, clean water, adequate sanitation, and food-and, more recently, of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)-which call for a dramatic reduction in poverty and marked improvements in the health of the poor by the year 2015-governments, international organizations, for-profit corporations, and nonprofit organizations throughout the world regularly provide both cash and in-kind health resources to developing countries. These health resources are not tracked on a global level, however, which means that policymakers do not have the comprehensive, accurate, and timely data they need to identify resource gaps, target assistance, avoid duplication of effort, and track progress toward the MDGs. The RAND Corporation assessed existing systems for tracking health resource flows to and within developing countries to determine the purpose, content, strengths, and limitations of these systems, with the objective of determining the characteristics that a truly global health resource tracking system must have to meet the needs of potential users and address the limitations of current systems. The study involved extensive interviews with people key to the operation and/or management of all major health resource data collections, detailed analyses of these data collections, literature reviews, and a technical consultation with experts involved in health resource tracking.

Cretin, G. Vernez, S. Pieklik, G. J. Dydek, E. S. Quiter, J. S. Ashwood, W. Tu. c2005. In partnership with the Army Medical Department (AMEDD), RAND researchers worked to implement clinical practice guidelines in treatment of three common ailments (asthma, diabetes, and low back pain). This report is an evaluation of the asthma practice guideline demonstration. It documents the extent to which intended actions were implemented, assesses short-term effects on clinical practices, and measures the quality and limitations of available data for monitoring practice improvements and clinical outcomes. The authors found that, although the implementation scored some notable successes, resource limitations and organizational barriers curbed overall progress. They conclude that allowing for flexibility, monitoring the facilities consistently, and training providers thoroughly are the keys to implementing the practice guidelines throughout AMEDD. The also concluded that patient education was an area in need of improvement. Online access: http://www.rand.org/ pubs/monographs/MG319/. MG-320-KISTEP Strategic Choices in Science and Technology: Korea in the Era of a Rising China. S. Seong, S. W. Popper, K. Zheng. 2005. Active investment in China, finding more market opportunities in China, and strengthening the cooperative relationship with China have so far been successful paths for Korean companies and the government to take in response to China's new economic might. It is uncertain whether Korea can maintain its market position in both Chinese and world markets in the future as China becomes more competitive in many industries where Korea currently has a relative advantage. What should Korea do to confront these uncertainties and to maintain its economic dynamism? What would be appropriate strategies and policies for Korea to pursue, particularly in science and technology? This study develops a simple model of the Korean economy and four alternative S&T strategies that Korea could follow and shows how those strategies may affect Korean prosperity, explicitly considering the many uncertainties that Korea confronts. Using the metric of average annual rate of growth in GDP per capita for Korea during the period leading to 2015, the authors assess each strategy for performance across an ensemble of 100 future scenarios.

Chau. 2005. Charter schools are publicly funded schools that have the flexibility to operate outside normal district control. They are designed to provide greater educational choice to families, reduce bureaucratic constraints on educators, and provide competitive pressure to induce improvement in conventional public schools while remaining publicly accountable. This document reports on an evaluation of the legislatively mandated (under SB 740) process of evaluating California's nonclassroom-based (NCB) charter schools, in which instruction generally takes the form of independent study, home study, or some combination of these two with classroom-based instruction. The report concludes that the impact of SB 740 has been significant and largely in accordance with the explicit goals of the legislation. However, despite the financial savings to the state and adaptations on the part of NCB charter schools to the requirements of SB 740, the success of the legislation as a mechanism for improving education for California students is unclear, and it may have had some harmful as well as beneficial effects. SB 740 has sent a strong and important message to NCB schools that they must be careful regarding the ways in which they use resources or face strong sanctions. But the regulations need to be reshaped to fit a newly acquired understanding of how these schools operate within the context of all public education and to serve the needs of students more effectively.

As the armed services transform to develop capabilities to meet a spectrum of uncertain threats, a constant objective will be to ensure the military's compensation and personnel systems are structured to attract, retain, and promote high-quality personnel. This monograph provides evidence on the military's ability to meet these goals in the past. We regenerate the quality index for a set of threedigit DoD occupations, and use it to examine whether high-quality personnel are enlisted, retained, and promoted to their early and midcareers, specifically to year of service (YOS) 4, YOS8, and YOS12. We use longitudinal data provided by the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC). Using the quality index, we find that those who complete their first terms, who stay until YOS8 or YOS12, and those who are promoted to higher grades are significantly higher quality. Our conclusions differ from those drawn from traditional measures because our measure, the quality index, is designed to include information about quality that cannot be predicted at entry but is instead revealed on the job.

Riposo, J. L. Birkler, J. Chiesa. 2005. The complexity and uniqueness of a nuclear submarine require special skills, facilities, and oversight not supported by other shipbuilding programmes. In fact, a single shipyard, Barrow-in-Furness, designs and builds the United Kingdom's nuclear submarines, and many of the vendors that support submarine construction are solesource providers. With such specialisation, in addition to a limited design and production demand, there is concern about whether the submarine industrial base can maintain its viability into the future. This report seeks to determine what actions should be taken to maintain nuclear submarine design capabilities and how nuclear submarine production should be scheduled for efficient use of the industrial base. Based on their findings, the authors recommend that the Ministry of Defence determine the scheduling of construction for future submarine contracts as soon as possible; plan to retain a design core of designers, engineers, and draughtsmen during periods of reduced demand; and take steps towards collaboration with other countries.

J. F. Schank, C. R. Cook, R. Murphy, J. Chiesa, H. Pung, J. L. Birkler. 2005. For most of its history in submarine building, the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defence (MOD) exercised significant authority and responsibility in design and development and performed the integration role for the acquisition programme. However, political changes in the 1980s and 1990s-mainly the push for a smaller role of government-forced the MOD to transfer as much of its submarine acquisition responsibilities as possible to a prime contractor (BAE Systems for the Astute programme currently under way). Now, with cost and schedule problems confronting the Astute programme, the MOD is trying to reengage in the process of effectively overseeing submarine design and production. In light of history and the recent experience drawn from the Astute programme, the authors of this book suggest appropriate roles for the MOD in its partnership with the prime contractor for each phase of future submarine acquisition. Based on management best practices, they propose a middle-ground alternative approach-a 'partnership' model-between the hands-on and hands-off acquisition models used in the past. They propose changes to the evolving MOD 205 acquisition structure, new staffing levels, and ways to address some potential impediments, such as the loss of submarine expertise within the MOD.

Smallman, J. F. Schank, J. L. Birkler, J. Chiesa. 2005. Currently in the United Kingdom, BAE Systems' Barrowin-Furness shipyard builds and fuels new submarines, while Devonport Management Limited (DML) refuels existing submarines-once their initial fuel load is depletedand defuels them at retirement. Cost increases in maintaining regulating licenses at both facilities have led the UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) to consider the possibility of consolidating its nuclear fuel-handling capabilities at the existing refuelling site at DML. Consolidation would, however, have complex implications for cost and scheduling of the Astute programme, which is already under way. The authors of this report compare various aspects of the two shipyards, including facility conflicts, workload, nuclear regulation, and contractual issues, in regard to three cases hypothesized for distributing the share of Astute's fuelling between the yards. As a result of this analysis, it is recommended that the MOD not consider refuelling the Astute first of class at DML. The authors also look briefly at BAE Systems' recent proposal to fuel the submarines at Barrow in a way that reduces the risks of nuclear accidents and recommend that the MOD take immediate action in reviewing this proposal. They also suggest that the MOD promptly examine the transportation challenges associated with moving the Astute submarines from the Barrow docks to the open sea.

Schoenbaum. 2005. 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.

Hartman, S. Stockly. 2005. Army Transformation and wider operational demands are placing increased demands on Army training and The Army School System (TASS), which is responsible for the vast majority of institutional training in both the Active Component (AC) and Reserve Component (RC). This report identifies policies and options for increasing TASS's contribution to Army readiness while improving the integration of the AC and RC training systems. The study recommends, first, that TASS adopt private sector practices, organizational models, and technologies to improve its approach for developing interactive media instruction (IMI) training (a key form of future training). The study also recommends that TASS expand its training delivery options by developing a more effective local training system to conduct selected courses and support other unit training needs. Finally, TASS should seek to leverage available training resources to improve integration of AC-RC training institutions and provide additional training options. Suggestions are presented for three potential pilot studies-low-cost demonstration projects-that would help assess the costs and tradeoffs involved in the overall change strategy.

Greenberg, A. Suâarez, E. Eiseman. 2005. TRICARE, the program through which military health system beneficiaries access health care services, provides coverage for most medically necessary mental health care delivered by qualified providers. Federal legislation in 2001 required the Department of Defense to conduct a demonstration project involving expanded access under TRICARE to a particular type of mental health service provider—the licensed or certified mental health counselor 206 (LMHC). Under the demonstration, LMHCs could provide services to covered beneficiaries without physician referral or adherence to physician supervision requirements, both of which are otherwise required. This report describes and presents findings from RAND Corporation's evaluation of the demonstration. The authors present detailed findings, based on surveys and interviews with various stakeholders, on the demonstration's impact on health care utilization, cost, and outcomes of health care services. The authors examine and compare pre-demonstration and postdemonstration data, and compare results from military catchment areas that participated in the demonstration and catchment areas that did not participate but were studied for comparison purposes.

Jackson, J. C. Baker, K. Cragin, J. Parachini, H. R. Trujillo, P. Chalk. c2005 Continuing conflicts between violent groups and states generate an ever-present demand for higher-quality and more timely information to support operations to combat terrorism. Better ways are needed to understand how terrorist and insurgent groups adapt over time into moreeffective organizations and increasingly dangerous threats. Because learning is the link between what a group wants to do and its ability to gather the needed information and resources to actually do it, a better understanding of the group learning process could contribute to the design of more-effective measures for combating terrorism. This study collects and analyzes the available information on terrorist groups' learning behavior, combining input from the organizational learning literature, published literature on terrorist and insurgent groups, and insights drawn from case studies and workshop discussions. It describes a model of learning as a four-part process, comprising acquiring, interpreting, distributing, and storing information and knowledge. This analytical framework, by providing a fuller picture of how terrorist groups try to adapt and evolve over time, may help in understanding the behavior of individual groups and the level of threat they pose; in developing effective counterstrategies to detect and thwart their efforts; and in appropriately allocating resources to counter potential and proven adversaries. A companion report, Aptitude for Destruction, Volume 2: Case Studies of Learning in Five Terrorist Organizations, MG-332-NIJ, examines in detail the learning activities of five major terrorist organizations and develops a methodology for ascertaining what and why groups have learned.

Better ways are needed to understand how terrorist and insurgent groups adapt over time into moreeffective organizations and increasingly dangerous threats. Because learning is the link between what a group wants to do and its ability to gather the needed information and resources to actually do it, a better understanding of the group learning process could contribute to the design of more-effective measures for combating terrorism. This study analyzes current understanding of that process and the factors that influence organizational learning. Part I presents detailed case studies of learning in five terrorist organizations: Aum Shinrikyo, The Radical Environmentalist Movement, Hizballah, Jemaah Islamiyah, and the Provisional Irish Republican Army. In Part II, a methodology is developed for ascertaining what and why groups learned, gaining insights into their learning processes, and discerning ways in which the law enforcement and intelligence communities might apply that understanding. Insights drawn from the organizational learning literature are then applied to the case studies. A companion report, Aptitude for Destruction, Volume 1: Organizational Learning in Terrorist Groups and its Implications for Combating Terrorism, MG-331-NIJ, focuses on the application of the concepts developed in this study to policy for combating terrorism. That report presents an abbreviated overview of the research presented here and explores the application of the results by law enforcement and intelligence activities.

Analyzes the economic, political, and security issues associated with Korean unification and considers what the capital costs of unification would be under differing circumstances and assumptions The authors focus on the capital costs of doubling the North Korean GDP in a short period of time (four to five years) on the premise that such a rapid improvement could allow the embryonic unified regime to endure despite the persistence of substantial income and other disparities between North and South. They estimate that the total costs of unification could vary from about $50 billion to $670 billion. dependent on how unification would occur. The authors also compare points of relevance and nonrelevance between the German experience with unification in the 1990s and what might occur in Korea. Finally they briefly assess the problems 207 that a unified Korea would confront relating to possession of weapons of mass destruction, its relations with neighboring countries, especially China, and its alliance with the United States.

Since the early 1980s, a prominent and consistent conclusion drawn from research on China’s defenseindustrial complex has been that China’s defenseproduction capabilities are rife with weaknesses and limitations. This study argues for an alternative approach: From the vantage point of 2005, it is time to shift the focus of current research to the gradual improvements in and the future potential of China’s defense-industrial complex. The study found that China’s defense sectors are designing and producing a wide range of increasingly advanced weapons that, in the short term, are relevant to a possible conflict over Taiwan but also to China’s long-term military presence in Asia. Part of a larger RAND Project AIR FORCE study on Chinese military modernization, this study examines the current and future capabilities of China’s defense industry. The goals of this study are to (1) assess recent trends in China’s 25-year-long effort to reform its defense industry; (2) analyze the individual strengths and weaknesses of four specific defenseindustrial sectors: missile, aircraft, shipbuilding, and information technology; (3) explain variations in performance among different defense-industry sectors, with a focus on differences in institutional arrangements, incentives, and exposure to market forces; and (4) evaluate the prospects for China’s defense industry and its ability to contribute to military modernization. The information presented in this report is based on previous RAND Project AIR FORCE work, and on primary and secondary English and Chinese sources.

Graser, C. R. Cook. 2005. Price-based acquisition (PBA) is a major acquisition reform measure being used by the Department of Defense (DoD) in an effort to reduce costs and enhance acquisition efficiency. The essence of PBA is the simple but radical notion that DoD should establish "fair and reasonable" prices for goods and services without obtaining extensive cost data from suppliers. The thinking is that PBA, with its more commercial-like market pricing strategy, is more beneficial to the government than the traditionally used, heavily regulated cost-based acquisition method, which bases prices on contractor-provided certified cost data. Supporters of PBA argue that this approach will eliminate the "regulatory premium" paid by DoD, motivate suppliers to cut costs, and encourage civil-commercial firms to bid on DoD contracts for military-unique systems. The end result, according to PBA advocates, is that DoD will be able to procure more-capable, cheaper systems in less time. DoD has had relatively little real-world experience with "pure" PBA, but it has undertaken many programs with numerous PBA-like characteristics. The most important goal of this research was to systematically review the available evidence to determine whether PBA offers the benefits its advocates claim, to ascertain possible pitfalls inherent in PBA, and to identify the most appropriate circumstances and strategies for implementing PBA. The findings are based on extensive structured interviews with government and private-sector individuals involved in major PBA-like programs and on a review of more than thirty case studies of programs having important PBA-like features. A systematic taxonomy of PBA-like approaches used by DoD in the past was developed as an aid for the case study assessment and for integrating the interview findings. All findings and lessons learned are enumerated. Online access: http://www.rand. org/publications/MG/MG337/. MG-338-AF U.S. Interests in Central Asia: Policy Priorities and Military Roles. O. Oliker, D. A. Shlapak. 2005. The republics of Central Asia, which received comparatively little attention from the United States in their first ten years of independence, suddenly increased in value when the United States deployed forces and set up bases of operation in the region in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. In that context, the U.S. government stepped up its cooperation programs with the host countries. Although the short-term needs of OEF have seemed clear, long-term U.S. interests in the region require careful consideration and analysis. This document identifies the implications for the U.S. Air Force of the trends in the region and of U.S. and other nations’ interests in Central Asia. The authors conclude that the U.S. military should have a relatively minor, but still important, role in U.S. security policy toward the area. An effective strategy for future U.S. military engagement in Central Asia would have three main components: maintenance of a “semi-warm” basing infrastructure; a carefully chosen program of military-to-military interactions; and encouraging basic interoperability between local militaries and the West.

Cannon. 2005. 208 Parents, policymakers, business leaders, and the general public increasingly recognize the importance of the first few years in the life of a child for promoting healthy physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development. Nonetheless, many children face deficiencies between ages 0 and 5 that can impede their ability to develop to their fullest potential. The PNC Grow Up Great initiative, a program financed by PNC Financial, Inc., asked RAND to prepare a thorough, objective review and synthesis of current research that addresses the potential for various forms of early childhood intervention to improve outcomes for participating children and their families. The authors consider the potential consequences of not investing additional resources in the lives of children, the range of early intervention programs, the demonstrated benefits of interventions with high-quality evaluations, the features associated with successful programs, and the returns to society associated with investing early in the lives of disadvantaged children. Their findings indicate that a body of sound research exists that can guide resource allocation decisions. This evidence base sheds light on the types of programs that have been demonstrated to be effective, the features associated with effective programs, and the potential for returns to society that exceed the resources invested in program delivery.

Girardini, J. M. Halliday. 2005. By virtually every account, the major combat operations of Operation Iraqi Freedom that toppled Saddam Hussein‚s regime in the spring of 2003 were a remarkable success. Yet there is a general belief within the Army and the broader defense community, supported by RAND Arroyo Center‚s analysis, that this success was achieved despite logistics problems that hampered materiel sustainment. However, moving beyond the initial impressions that emerged quickly following operations, Arroyo‚s research has indicated that forces and sustainment capabilities were sufficiently robust to overcome the problems and effectively execute missions. This monograph describes how well the Department of Defense logistics system supported Army forces in Operation Iraqi Freedom, documents the major reasons for shortfalls in performance, provides recommendations for improvement, and points to questions raised with respect to the design of future forces.

Halliday, M. L. Robbins, K. Girardini. 2005. The major combat operations of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) have been judged from virtually all quarters as a remarkable success, although accompanied by some perceptions that this success was achieved in the face of severe logistics problems. This monograph describes how Army forces were sustained during Operation Iraqi Freedom, examines how well this support performed, and discusses the effects on operations with an emphasis on the period from the start of ground combat to the fall of Baghdad. The findings should be of interest throughout the Army as well as the broader Department of Defense supply chain, deployment planning, and force development communities. The findings have implications for the design of the logistics system, logistics process improvement efforts, future force design and warfighting concepts, and the acquisition of end items such as vehicles as well as logistics enablers such as those that provide logistics situational awareness.

Manacapilli, W. W. Taylor, M. R. Thirtle. 2004. Developing the requirements and securing the funding for modern military aircraft can take a significant amount of time. Given emerging operational demands and the age of some current Air Force trainer aircraft, it is time to examine how the skills needed to perform future military missions might affect the capabilities required of new aircraft and ground-based systems used in pilot training. From 1962 until 1992, Air Force pilots learned to fly in an Undergraduate Pilot Training (UPT) program in which all students first flew the subsonic T-37 jet aircraft and then the supersonic T-38. In 1992 the Air Force began a transition to Specialized Undergraduate Pilot Training (SUPT), which tracked students after the T-37 phase of training. Students selected to fly fighters or bombers now train in the T-38, while those selected to fly tanker or transport aircraft train in the T-1A, a military derivative of a commercial business jet. The Air Force began replacing the T-37 with a new aircraft in 2001, but in the next few years, it must decide to replace or extend the lives of the aging T-38 and the newer, but tiring, T-1A. The timing of these decisions matters not only because the Air Force aircraft inventory will change dramatically in the next 25 years with the planned introduction of two new fighter aircraft and more unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs), but also because of changes in the demands of flying missions. Air Force pilots face a future characterized by around-the-clock global operations requiring near real-time implementation of airpower against an enemy, incorporation of precision weapons to increase mission effectiveness while minimizing exposure of manned aircraft to threats, mobility missions taking 209 place closer to the enemy, integration of large amounts of information from disparate sources in real-time conditions, and flight profiles involving greater physiological demands. This monograph addresses the question of how the need to acquire skills necessary for future missions might affect what is taught in undergraduate flying training. It also addresses what impact the answer to this question has on decisions to replace or extend the lives of current Air Force trainer aircraft.

There is increased interest in California and other states in providing universal access to publicly funded high-quality preschool education for one or two years prior to kindergarten entry. In considering such a program, policymakers and the public focus on the potential benefits from a universal preschool program, as well as the estimated costs. This study aims to inform such deliberations by conducting an analysis of the economic returns from investing in preschool education in the state of California. The benefit-cost analysis undertaken in this study indicates that there can be positive returns for California society from investing in a one-year highquality universal preschool program. The authors' baseline estimate, which is arguably conservative, is that every dollar invested by the public sector beyond current spending will generate $2.62 in returns. And this estimate does not account for an array of other benefits not captured in their analysis because of data limitations. Those other potential benefits include lower intangible losses from crime and child abuse and neglect averted, reduced reliance on public welfare programs, improved labor market outcomes for parents of preschoolers, improved health and well-being of preschool participants, and the intergenerational transmission of favorable benefits. Broader economic and noneconomic benefits may accrue in other areas as well, including labor force recruitment and participation rates, workforce performance, economic growth, international competitiveness, and the distribution of economic and social well-being.

Snyder. 2005. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been used successfully in recent combat operations, such as operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom. These successes have confirmed the military utility of UAVs and portend that a greater number of such vehicles may become part of the DoD's future force posture. However, because of the rapid acquisition strategy used to get these UAVs into the field as quickly as possible, the implications for their long-term support needs are unclear. The authors examine current support postures for UAV systems, such as Global Hawk and Predator. Through this examination, it became clear that there is a gap between traditional methods of determining logistics requirements and rapid acquisition processes. A balance needs to be struck between providing a new capability rapidly and the effects of that on long-term support of that capability. Some of the areas the Air Force will need to consider for future developments are budgeting to resolve issues that arise during testing and evaluation, training issues, and planning for standardization with future use of spiral development.

Lockwood, J. A. Marsh, R. W. Zimmer, D. Hill, S. Pribesh. 2005. New forms of governing and managing public schools have proliferated in recent years, spawning the establishment and growth of companies contracted to operate public schools. Among these education management organizations (EMOs), the largest and most visible is Edison Schools. In 2000, Edison asked RAND to analyze its achievement outcomes and design implementation. RAND designed an evaluation to address the following research questions: What are Edison's strategies for promoting student achievement in the schools it manages? How are Edison's strategies implemented in those schools? How does Edison's management of schools affect student achievement? What factors explain differences in achievement trends among Edison schools? The resources and accountability systems that constitute Edison's design represent a coherent, comprehensive, and ambitious strategy to address key elements relevant to providing high-quality education. The best-functioning Edison schools demonstrate the promise inherent in Edison's model, but this monograph reports considerable variation in the extent to which the schools realize the Edison ideal. Average rates of student proficiency in Edison schools improve over time. On average, gains of Edison schools during the first three years of Edison operation do not exceed the gains of matched conventional public schools, but Edison results improve in years four and five. Edison's average long-term gains are comparable to or better than those of matched conventional public schools. Analysis of a number of casestudy Edison schools suggests that schools that effectively implement the wide-ranging Edison curriculum, establish Edison's professional environment, and operate with strong instructional leaders under limited constraints have positive achievement results. Given that Edison's results have not been uniformly positive, this monograph suggests some actions that Edison and its current and future clients can take to promote greater consistency of results, in terms of both implementation and student achievement.

China's export controls on sensitive equipment, materials, and technologies used to produce weapons of mass destruction (WMD) have evolved significantly since the early 1980s. This monograph examines the structure and operation of the Chinese government's system of controls on exports of items that could be used in the production of WMD and WMD-related delivery systems. The author identifies the key organizations involved in export control decisionmaking, the laws and regulations that form the basis of the Chinese government's system of controls, and the interactions among government organizations involved in vetting sensitive exports. The author assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the system's ability to implement and enforce government export controls and identifies several challenges that the Chinese government currently faces in improving the current functioning of its nascent export control system.

Human beings' powerful effect on the environment is becoming increasingly clear. Demographic factors are commonly recognized as a primary global driver of human-induced environmental change, along with biophysical, economic, sociopolitical, technological, and cultural factors. Concerns about demographic effects on the environment are fueled by demographic trends such as global population growth and the exponential growth of urban areas. These trends have spawned a body of literature regarding the connections between demographic trends and natural resources, such as water, much of which has taken an alarmist view. These reports often limit themselves to looking at the effects of population growth, and treat water supplies as static and population as ever increasing, inexorably leading to a water-availability crisis. This report attempts to present a more holistic view of the interaction between demographic factors and water resources by considering a wider range of demographic variables as well as a set of mitigating factors that influence water availability at the local level. The report focuses primarily on conditions in developing countries, since that is where the forces of demographics and natural resources intersect with the fewest social and economic resources to mediate their impacts.

Decision science concerns understanding human decisionmaking and methods and tools to assist it. The first concern includes the distinction between descriptive and prescriptive: how humans actually decide, versus how they should decide. Much of the early literature prescribed rational-analytic methods, such as embodied in systems analysis and policy analysis. The descriptive literature, however, has long noted that humans use heuristics (cognitive shortcuts), which are usually quite valuable, but which sometimes introduce unintended biases. Efforts have been made to improve decision support by "debiasing" the presentation of information. A newer literature on "naturalistic" decisionmaking, however, emphasizes the strengths of intuitive decisionmaking 211 based on heuristics and questions the desirability of debiasing. Our study contrasts the schools of thought and suggests steps toward a synthesis. Ultimately, decision support should appeal to both the rational-analytic and the intuitive capabilities of the decisionmaker, with a balance of "cold" and story-based presentation of analysis and recommendations. The particular balance should depend on characteristics of the decision, the decision environment, and the decisionmaker. Our study also discusses new tools emerging for decision support, which include increasingly realistic models and simulations, such as virtual worlds, and new methods to help in the creative and imaginative aspects of strategic planning. Most important, we note modern methods, such as exploratory analysis, to encourage decisions and strategies that are flexible, adaptive, and robust so as to deal well with uncertainty.

MG-361-EDU The Role of Districts in Fostering Instructional Improvement: Lessons from Three Urban Districts Partnered with the Institute for Learning. J. A. Marsh, K. A. Kerr, G. Ikemoto, H. Darilek, M. J. Suttorp, R. W. Zimmer, H. Barney. 2005. The current high-stakes accountability environment brought on by the federal No Child Left Behind Act places great pressure on school districts to demonstrate success by meeting yearly progress goals for student achievement and eventually demonstrating that all students achieve at high standards. Many urban school districts, in particular, face great challenges in meeting these goals. This study analyzes three urban districts' efforts to face these challenges and assesses the contribution to those efforts made by an intermediary organization, the Institute for Learning. It describes the districts' work in four areas: promoting principals' instructional leadership; supporting teachers' professional learning, in particular through school-based coaching models; specifying curriculum; and promoting data-based decisionmaking for planning and instructional improvement. For each area, it identifies constraints and enablers of district success, assesses the nature and effect of district-intermediary partnerships, and makes recommendations for districts undertaking similar instructional reforms.

Sortor. 2005. The United States faces very difficult trade-offs in responding to the demanding calls now being made on Army forces for overseas operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. This report describes the effects of largescale deployments on the Army's ability to provide ready forces for other contingencies, to ensure that its soldiers are trained for warfighting and stability operations, and to preserve the quality of life for its soldiers and families. The authors found the Army's plans for transforming its active and reserve brigades and employing its reserves at reasonable rates help ameliorate the stresses but still leave shortfalls. Steps available to improve the situation all involve significant risks or costs. Unless these overseas requirements recede considerably, the nation is faced with an Army stretched thin, with no quick fix or straightforward solution.

Brannan, K. Crane. 2005. Following the war in Iraq, the United States and its allies found that their prewar expectations of security did not match the actual postwar environment. Iraqi security forces had largely disappeared, and those that remained were incapable of countering a rising tide of political violence and crime. From May 2003 to June 28, 2004 (when it handed over authority to the Iraqi Interim Government), the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) sought to field Iraqi security forces and to develop security sector institutions. This book-all of whose authors were advisors to the CPA-breaks out the various elements of Iraq‚s security sector, including the defense, interior, and justice sectors, and assesses the CPA‚s successes and failures. Furthermore, the book identifies six problems underlying the coalition‚s approach that need to be addressed if Iraq is to recover from past mistakes. Iraq needs capable security forces in the near term and sustainable security institutions for the long term. The authors emphasize that the onus must remain on the United States and its international partners to ensure that long-term institution-building remains on the Iraqi agenda.

Disability payments for military personnel have received much attention recently, in part because of concern over the long-term economic consequences of injuries in Afghanistan and Iraq. This research reviews the goals and effectiveness of current policies for compensating veterans with military-related disabilities. It identifies trends in veterans' disabilities, compares the military disability system with that used by civilian firms, and describes the effect of military disability on civilian labor market outcomes. The results show that military disability payments are adequate to offset most labor-market losses from military-related disabilities-many of the severely injured retirees receive substantially larger disability 212 benefits y than their estimated economic losses in the labor market. In addition, many retirees with a VA disability rating report no health or disability problem that limits their work in the civilian labor market. These findings suggest that the military disability rating system may no longer be valid. The system is based on the ability to perform physical tasks that may have limited effects on labor market success in today's service- and knowledgebased economy. A more coherent and less complex system is needed to identify the criteria for measuring the economic loss from an injury and target payments to better reflect the economic consequences of a militaryrelated disability.

In a nation-building operation, outside states invest much of their resources in establishing and maintaining the host country's police, internal security forces, and justice system. Strengthening all these elements is crucial for achieving sustainable law and order. This book examines in detail the post-Cold War reconstruction efforts of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kosovo, three major cases in which the United States and its allies have attempted to reconstruct security institutions. It then compares them with similar but smaller projects in Panama, El Salvador, Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, and East Timor. In doing so, the authors make three main arguments. First, establishing security during the "golden hour"—the period immediately following major combat operations—should be the most significant concern of policymakers. Second, building a functioning justice system is a critical and often overlooked task of rebuilding security. Third, the authors provide rough guidelines for successfully reconstructing security after a major combat operation, including recommended force-to-population ratios, financial assistance, and duration of reconstruction. For future policy recommendations, the authors encourage decisionmakers to consider such principal elements as negotiating formal peace treaties or surrenders, establishing of comprehensive post-conflict doctrine, and using outcome-based metrics to measure success.

The availability of health care for active-duty military personnel and their families is a fundamental component of the services' commitment to support their personnel. It represents a substantial benefit to military members and families, but, despite this clear value, military health care benefits are not routinely counted as an element of military compensation. The end result is that military members may be unaware of the full value of the health care benefit they receive. RAND used relevant calendar year 2000 data from Fortune 500 employers from Ingenix, a private health information company, to quantify military health care benefits. The accessed claims came from many different employers, insurance carriers, and health plans, and they included beneficiaries in most U.S. states. The authors use these data to describe methods for quantifying the value of military health care benefits from the perspective of active-duty members and their families. Even using conservative estimates, the authors find that the value can be quite considerable, ranging from hundreds of dollars per year for healthy single members, who use little health care but would face health insurance premiums in the civilian sector that they do not face in the military, to thousands of dollars for military families.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is responsible for protecting the United States from terrorism. It achieves this goal partly through the Urban Areas Security Initiative, which allocates resources to states and urban areas. Until DHS can know the effectiveness of available risk-reduction alternatives or determine reasonable minimum standards for community preparedness, allocating homeland security resources based on risk is the next best approach; areas at higher risk are likely to have more and larger opportunities for risk reduction than areas at lower risk. This monograph offers a method for constructing an estimate of city risk shares, designed to perform well across a wide range of threat scenarios and risk types. It also proposes and demonstrates a framework for comparing the performance of alternative risk estimates given uncertainty in measuring the elements of risk. Finally, it makes five recommendations for improving the allocation of homeland security resources: DHS should consistently define terrorism risk in terms of expected annual consequences; DHS should seek robust risk estimators that account for uncertainty about terrorism risk and variance in citizen values; DHS should develop event-based models of terrorism risk; until reliable eventbased models are constructed, DHS should use densityweighted population rather than population as a simple risk indicator; and DHS should fund research to bridge the g
