The “Human Dimension” requires a thorough, credible and detailed examination.

Examine the behaviors, intuition, and performance that impacts individual decisions and interaction with other humans, technologies, and environments.

The role of the Human Dimension must be examined not only in combat operations, but also in the realm of force generation -- to include consideration of projected shifts in US demographics.
