The Admin. of Pres. Ronald Reagan has made a concerted effort to modernize & improve the Army, investing $415 billion (in FY1987 dollars) from 1980 through 1986 in new equipment, better pay & benefits for its soldiers, repairs & maintenance of its facilities, & stockpiles of war reserves. The Army still has, however, areas that it feels could be further improved. This analysis projects future Army budgets that would be required to meet the goals that the Army has established for itself for the period from 1987 through 1991. It also examines the effects that lower rates of budget growth might have on the Army¿s plans & future force structure. The study makes no recommendations. Charts & tables.
