3. AMERICA’S ARMY: THE STRENGTH OF THE NATION Overall Military Value Analysis (MVA) Methodology 1. Review value models used in previous MVA as a starting point. 7. Incorporate results into other analytic efforts; work to shape and prepare recommendations for Army senior leadership. 2. Add/delete/update attributes and value curves to reflect specific unit requirements and considerations for the current decision. 5. Collect data from designated organizations. 6. Calculate values for installation alternatives and perform sensitivity analysis. 3. Modify weighting scheme, using subject matter expert (SME) input. 4. Establish list of installations or sites for analysis. MVA is the starting point for further Army stationing analysis

4. AMERICA’S ARMY: THE STRENGTH OF THE NATION All 40 BRAC 2005 Attributes After the model is run, sensitivity analysis is performed by adjusting these weights to determine their effect on the model results. Swing Weight Matrix: BRAC 2005 HIGHMEDIUMLOW Decreasing Operational Importance Importance Increasing ability to change Level of Importance The matrix below assigns basis points to an attribute which are then converted to a global weight.

5. AMERICA’S ARMY: THE STRENGTH OF THE NATION 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) – 40 Attributes organized into 6 capabilities/categories: Training, Power Projection, Materiel and Logistics, Well-Being, Cost, and Future Options. – Attributes were chosen and developed based on extensive Senior Leader interviews and input from subject matter experts (SMEs) in order to demonstrate an installation’s value to the Army. – All Army installation in the United States were analyzed, so the attributes were chosen to represent a holistic model that showed value not only for combat units (e.g., Brigade Combat Teams [BCTs]), but all Army units and installation types. Grow the Army (GTA) and other BCT stationing actions (2007-present): – As these decisions only looked at stationing or removing BCTs, the scope of the model was reduced; models included 12-16 attributes organized into 4 categories: Training, Power Projection, Well-Being, and Expansibility/Reversibility (previously Future Options). – For each model run, the attributes used in the previous model were reassessed to ensure they still represent the current Army priorities and methods of operation. 2013 European Infrastructure Analysis (EIC): – Analysis of Army sites in Europe; while many attributes used were similar to ones from US models, differing priorities in Europe resulted in many different attributes, definitions, and weights. – 20 Attributes organized to align with the 4 EIC Military Value Criteria, while representing the three Army functions of station, train, and deploy. MVA Attributes Over Time MVA attributes, metrics, and weights evolve over time
