Summary/Abstract

This study delves into the issues of the U.S. Army's adaptive capacity in the Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) Phase IV. The author borrows the concept of organizational adaptive capacity while arguing that adaptive capacity framework can provide coherent theoretical explanations for the U.S. Army's unsatisfactory performance in OIF Phase IV. The author, then, tries to apply the analysis of U.S. Army's experience to the Republic of Korea (ROK) Army. The ROK Army has tried to follow the U.S. Army from doctrine to weapon systems and the author sees that there is a possibility that the ROK Army will be faced with similar challenges that the U.S. Army had to deal with. Thus, the author argues that drawing theoretical implications and lessons from U.S. experiences should be regarded important tasks for the ROK Army.

Summary/Abstract

The US military services have seen their demand for small arms ammunition increase exponentially since the beginning of OIF and OEF. While the Pentagon continues to procure ammunition to support numerous combat operations, predeployment training events and the other "normal" day-to-day training, the services are also pursuing improvements in the lethality and other characteristics of small calibre ammunition. Military ground forces have an expanding number of small arms weapons to ensure their units and individuals can accomplish the mission in every climate and venue.
