There is much more to Army service than the outlines with which most Americans are familiar. A separate RAND Arroyo Center report details the service experiences of 81 junior enlisted soldiers; the objective of this report is to provide deeper insight into the junior enlisted experience in a way that is accessible to policymakers, Army leaders, recruiters, and potential recruits. This volume tells the stories of six soldiers in their own words.

This report analyzes the cultural characteristics and competitive strategies and tactics exhibited by the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM). Based on this analysis, the authors assess how each of the services and USSOCOM might adapt and respond if facing major policy shifts in the future, focusing specifically on contingencies in the Asia-Pacific.
