These force sizes call into question the Army's ability to "regenerate" itself to higher strength levels in a timely way should the nation require it to do so. This analysis modeled the Army's ability to increase its AC end strength over a five-year period -- starting from a Total Army of 980K and starting from a Total Army of 920K -- so th
