This information is to be used to improve wartime planning and ongoing training for Reserve component units. However, implementation of CAPSTONE is behind schedule, and some units have not received information that could affect the type of training that is conducted. At the outset, CAPSTONE concentrated on the North Atlantic Treaty Organization-Warsaw Pact scenario and was later expanded to cover the Rapid Deployment Force Army and Korean scenarios. War plans and standing operating procedures are to be developed initially by the gaining-commands and provided to appropriate, aligned Reserve units so that such units can develop complemen- tary war plans and related training requirements. Although the Army has taken steps recently to improve CAPSTONE management, the present management system does not provide the authorities in Europe and the Continental United States with the information needed to properly manage the program and to deter- mine whether implementation is progressing satisfactorily.
