RAMP Program

The Role of American Military Power (RAMP) program at AUSA was started in January 2000 with a three-year mandate to examine the changing international and strategic environment of the United States in order to develop a better understanding of what these changes will mean for the U.S. military in general and the U.S. Army in particular. RAMP sponsored a number of events and produced publications and on-line webcasts on a variety of topics including principles for the use of force, the future of land warfare, post-conflict reconstruction, security sector reform, interagency coordination and defense industry transformation.
