<p>Preparedness for operations in both the Irregular Warfare (IW) and Major Combat Operations  (MCO) environments is essential given a tumultuous and unpredictable Contemporary Operational  Environment (COE). This thesis is an effort to provide a solution to the U.S. Army's emerging trend toward  uni-focused operations fixated on IW. In this thesis, we propose recommendations for change to the  current Army force structure centered on the Brigade Combat Team (BCT) and the Army Force Generation  (ARFORGEN) model through which these units are cycled for refit, training, and deployment. These  recommended modifications are intended to optimize the Army for its role as a deterrent force, and to  assist the Army in its ability to proficiently conduct operations in the IW and MCO environments either  consecutively or simultaneously.
