This book investigates the interwar periods following World War I, World War II, and Vietnam. During each period the Army message toCongress is explored. The book also examines downsizing effects on training, morale, and readiness. Post-Cold War Army downsizing iscompared and contrasted to each period covered in the study.

The Army's situation was no different following the downsizing programs of the early 1990s. This book emphasizesthe relevance of comparing the Army of the downsizing 1990s to the downsizing periods of the past
