ARCIC"s New Generation Warfare Study Plan
The NGW Study Plan develops and executes seminars and other analytical events facilitating the study of future new generation warfare concepts using futuristic global scenarios and multiple potential crises that cross a wide range of military operations exploring concepts for Army, Service and Joint Communities across multiple and varied geographical locations around the world. NGW Study Plan examines NGW through researching and preparing white papers and/or briefings to be presented to the Chief of Staff of the Army, Service, Joint Communities, and Combatant Commanders. Areas of study include but is not limited to the SOUTHCOM, USPACOM, CENTCOM, EUCOM, AFRICOM and NORTHCOM Areas of Responsibilities (AOR) for implications to Army future force development, with emphasis on how Opposing Hostile forces and their proxies employed disruptive technologieThe NGW Study Plan develops and executes seminars and other analytical events facilitating the study of future new generation warfare concepts using futuristic global scenarios and multiple potential crises that cross a wide range of military operations exploring concepts for Army, Service and Joint Communities across multiple and varied geographical locations around the world.

Areas of study include but is not limited to the SOUTHCOM, USPACOM, CENTCOM, EUCOM, AFRICOM and NORTHCOM Areas of Responsibilities (AOR) for implications to Army future force development, with emphasis on how Opposing Hostile forces and their proxies employed disruptive technologies in the conduct of New Generation Warfare. The study team will examine the full range of Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leader Development and Education, Personnel, and Facilities (DOTMLPF) implications in order to develop holistic analysis that informs force design, force structure and investment decisions regarding future force development and the allocation of limited resources to balance force structure, readiness, and modernization. The Study Team will examine historical warfare tactics, techniques, and procedures, apply analysis to determine futuristic applications of enhanced warfare methods to achieve similar strategic objectives, isolate alternative futures application of fire power, identify corresponding Army capability gaps, design, analyze, assess, and propose solutions to form the basis of Army concepts. The team is charged to provide input to Army Warfighting Challenges (AWFC), Learning Demands, and the Army Campaign of Learning, and will design and participate in exercises, experiments, and other events to isolate and frame issues vital to future force development, and develop proposed solutions to complex operational problems. The end state deliverable will include a set of observations, conclusions, and recommendations, to the Chief of Staff, Army (CSA), Service, Joint Communities, and Combatant Commanders. s in the conduct of New Generation Warfare.
