Objectives of Total Army Analysis (TAA) include providing the analytical underpinnings for justification of the POM force, assuring continuity of force structure requirements within the PPBE process, and providing the basis for structuring organizational, materiel, and personnel requirements, authorizations, and programs. Which of the following best encapsulates these objectives?

• A. All of the above
• B. Justification only
• C. Continuity only
• D. None of the above

Answer: (A)

Total Army Analysis provides an integrated analytical foundation for shaping the Army’s future force. It delivers the analytical justification for the force put into the Program Objective Memorandum, ensures continuity of force-structure requirements throughout the PPBE process, and supplies the basis for organizing and detailing the Army’s organizational, materiel, and personnel requirements, authorizations, and programs. Because all three aspects are addressed, the option that best encapsulates these objectives is the one that includes all of them. If you focus on just one piece, you miss the others; if you claim none of the above, you’d disregard the documented aims of TAA.
