This dissertation explores the possibility of integrating a new type of unit into the United States Army. The impetus for this analysis is a recent shift in Department of Defense force planning from planning primarily for wars fought without rotation to wars fought with rotation. This dissertation analyzes the attractiveness and feasibility of integrating a new type of unit into the Army from three perspectives: budgetary, operational, and historical. It is intended to stimulate debate about the future size and mix of the Army when planning for wars fought with rotation.
