Immediate Major Issues • Alert Orders 1 year prior to mobilization • Stabilization of Unit Battle Roster 1 year prior to mobilization • Mobilization Orders not later than 90 days in advance of mobilization • Mobilize units by Modified Table of Organization and Equipment (MTOE) • No Boutique/Designer Request for Forces (RFF)

  10. Immediate Major Issues (2) • Limit use of Derivative Unit Identification Codes • Utilize and respect unit command and control at battalion and brigade levels • Stabilize ARFORGEN Model/Define Terms • Continuum of Service - continued voluntary active-duty beyond 179 days at full per-diem

  11. CSA Army Initiatives • Accelerate Army growth and readiness improvements to consistently field forces for victory and to sustain a campaign quality, expeditionary Army. • Enhance quality of support to Soldiers and Families to preserve the strength of the All Volunteer Force. • Maintain continuity and momentum in modernization to improve capabilities of current and future force. • Complete transition of Reserve Component to an Operational Force. • Accelerate change in leader development programs to grow leaders for tomorrow’s strategic environments. • Adapt institutional policies, programs and procedures to support an expeditionary Army at war. • Build strategic communication capabilities to effectively communicate with internal and external audiences.

  12. Army Initiative 4 • FORSCOM has the lead for the Army • The ARFPC has been tasked by the Chief of Staff of the Army to engage FORSCOM and provide the candid RC field perspective. • ARFPC visited FORSCOM and provided feedback on AI 4 efforts

  13. Keys to Army Initiative 4 • Will be an expensive proposition • Will take time to make the transition • Popular Support is key – grass roots campaign by RC leaders is important

  14. Keys to Army Initiative 4 • Full Time Support – one huge reason the USAFR/ANG more deployable • Manning – first building block, recruiting and retention • Training – timely and budgeted • Equipping – Not just training sets

  15. ARFPC GWOT Accomplishments • Mobilized Soldiers promoted regardless of grade of slot they occupy • Preservation of FTS ramp (consideration of 100% of FTS requirements) • 12-month mobilization cap • Reduced time at the MOB station • CAC cards now say “Army,” for all Soldiers; not “Army Reserve” or “National Guard” for some • RC retirees now designated as “Retired, US Army,” not “Army Reserve” or “National Guard” • RC perspective & issues elevated and visible

  16. Ongoing ARFPC Issues and Actions • FTS – recommend to DA that FTS be filled at 100% of last manpower study, this is included in AI 4 • Unit Stabilization – recommended units be alerted a year prior to mob and that Stop Loss be concurrent with alert. Currently looking at options other than stop loss to enhance unit retention prior to mobilization/deployment • ORTC Facilities – Recommend completing existing ORTCs and evaluate for future needs, incl power projection platforms. Continuing issue as ORTCs continue losing funding • Multi-Compo Family Programs – recommend funding to validated rqmts with equitable allocation of benefits for all 3 components. • ROTC – recommend ROTC be correctly resourced and Cadet Cmd be responsible for a RC msn success number as with the AC

  17. Ongoing ARFPC Issues and Actions • Medical/Dental – recommend alert a year prior to mob which would allow medical and dental care to begin. Pursuing other options to cover health care for RC members and families. • MFT – recommend allowing involuntary Mob for Training even when not under a MOB authority to increase DMOSQ. Ongoing. • CO-ADOS – Recommend CO-ADOS be streamlined and applied evenly across components for all soldiers (incl those wounded in theater) . • Operational Reserve – Recommend bridging strategy to get RC from Strat Reserve to Operational Force. AI #4. • Multi-Compo Family Programs – recommend funding to validated rqmts with equitable allocation of benefits for all 3 components
