Main Command Post-Operational Detachments (MCP-ODs) and Division Headquarters Readiness

by Jaime L Hastings, Hilary A Smith, Penelope Speed, et al.

Researchers identify the effects of the Main Command Post-Operational Detachment on division headquarters (HQ) readiness. The authors reviewed Army history, doctrine, and documents to assess HQ deployment; interviewed participants in multicomponent HQs; analyzed how staffs prepare combined forces for employment as a single HQ; and developed a model to illustrate when a division HQ will experience increased risk as it tries to meet requirements.
