The Army After Next
The First Postindustrial Army

Examines the way that the US Army and the Defense Department tried to create in reality the revolutionary capabilities promised by the high-tech Revolution in Military Affairs. This book presents an in-depth account of the effect that RMA and transformation concepts had on the American operations in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Many of the problems in both Iraq and Afghanistan arose from the Department of Defense's implacable desire to implement RMA-driven transformation concepts whether they were appropriate or not.
