CTC Archive Status Report: Operations and Maintenance Support for the CTC Archive.

Abstract : The primary purpose of this report Is to provide a status of the Archive as of 30 September 1994. This status report will cover both the physical data sources and the digitized databases. In addition, this report will include an Archive Project Summary and a listing of Archive Issues that impact upon Archive operations and data analyses. The Archive project provides for the continuing operation, maintenance and support of the Archive Facility, the physical data materials, and the digital databases. The scope of the Archive effort includes three major areas: (1) Management of the CTC Archive Data Materials (2) Provision of ADP support for the Archive databases (3) Assistance with CTC Archive and Research Center Course. The CTC Archive provides an invaluable resource for military analysts to systematically identify, prioritize and resolve Army warfighting issues. Several areas of concern currently exist that may have pronounced effects upon the Archive and may reduce the Archives effectiveness as a resource for data analyses. These concerns are identified and the potential impact on the Archive capabilities are described.
