The Institutional Army, FY1975-FY2002

This report examines the Army's mission and functions to determine a useful way to report and analyze the Institutional Army-that part of the Army that supports the Title 10 responsibilities of the Army. The Army is divided into three major parts. The Expeditionary Army consists of deployable units available to the unified commands to wage war in theaters of operation. The second part of the Army consists of those units, personnel, and funds that are applied to missions that do not contribute to land combat power or the Title 10 responsibilities. These non-Army missions include provision of personnel to joint headquarters and activities and the conduct of DoD-wide missions. The Institutional Army forms, maintains, and sustains the units for the Expeditionary Army and the personnel for non-Army programs. The Future Years Defense Program database for the FY2002 Budget Estimate Submission is the source of personnel strengths at the program element level of detail for active, Guard, and Reserve military personnel and for civilian employees. Program elements are arrayed to provide logical aggregations for the Expeditionary Army, Support to non-Army Programs, and the Institutional Army. The resulting groups of program elements are called the Force Management Categories and are offered as a good basis for planning and designing the Army.
