Description
Mission — Rand Arroyo Center
This Program Element funds the RAND-Arroyo Center, the Department of the Army's only Federally Funded Research and Development Center, for strategic studies and analysis. The Army's management of RAND-Arroyo's activities are governed by AR 5-21 and receives guidance through the Arroyo Center Policy Committee (ACPC), which is co-chaired by the Under Secretary of the Army and the Vice Chief of Staff of the Army. The ACPC provides guidance, sets the annual research plan, and monitors execution. As a result, the RAND-Arroyo Center provides strategic analytical research across a broad spectrum of issues grouped in three major research areas: Personnel, Training, and Health; Forces and Logistics; and Strategy, Doctrine and Resources. The RAND-Arroyo Center research agenda is primarily focused on mid/long-term strategic concerns. Current priorities include: implementation of the National Defense Strategy; collaborative lethality & survivability, sustaining the joint force, balancing capability modernization across FYDPs, taking care of people, and homeland defense. Results and analytical findings directly affect senior leadership deliberations on major issues. In FY21 the ACPC directed a change in the execution of the RAND-Arroyo program which resulted in a change to business practices and directed a consolidation of existing resources for the RAND-Arroyo Center program. Note that FY24 includes SBIR (Title 15 USC §638(f)(1)) in the amount of $1,173K and STTR (Title 15 USC §638(n)(1)(A)) in the amount of $165K.
