Summary:

Recent world events, such as the reunification of Germany, the demise of the Warsaw Pact, and the breakup of the Soviet Union, have changed the types of threats the United States will face in the future. The Army is reviewing its recent assessment of the changed threat's impact on its training strategy for combat forces. Although the review is not yet complete, the Army does not expect major revisions to its training strategy. Army combat units are now structured and trained to respond to various threats ranging from special operations to a large-scale war. The Army will continue to train combat forces to meet a Soviet threat. It also trains forces to meet other threats, however, and the Army can adjust its training to depict virtually any type of threat scenario.
