The research reported in this monograph focused on answering a rather straightforward, but thus far largely unanswered, question: What can the U.S. military learn from other militaries about how better to prepare for full-spectrum operations and deployments? To this end, RAND was asked by the OSD for Personnel and Readiness to examine the militaries of China, France, the UK, India, and Israel."--P. xiii.  aElectronic reproduction.bPalo Alto, Calif. :cebrary,d2013.nAvailable via World Wide Web.nAccess may be limited to ebrary affiliated libraries.  aPrepared for the Office of the Secretary of DefensebW74V8H-06-C-0002 0aMilitary planning. 0aOperational readiness (Military science) 0aSoldiersxTraining of. 7aElectronic books.2local1 aJohnson, David E.q(David Eugene),d1950-1 aUnited States.bOffice of the Under Secretary of Defense (Personnel and Readiness)2 aRand Corporation.2 aNational Defense Research Institute (U.S.)2 aebrary, Inc. 0aRand Corporation monograph series.40uhttp://site.ebrary.com/lib/rucke/Doc?id=10375767zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click to view  c96629d96629
