  1. Deputy Director, G8 Force Development BG Hahn Reset of the Force 9 September 2004

  2. AGENDA • Changing Environment • CSA Intent • Modularity Intent • Setting the Force Goals • Resourcing and Equipping Strategy • Summary

  3. A Changing Environment Changing Nature of Threat A Strategic Pause • Short duration conflicts • Take risk in current force beyond core essential • Priority is Future Force transformation • Enable accelerated, but deliberate change POM 04-09 An Army at War • Current force totally engaged • Meet pressing current needs while anticipating future ones • Priority is urgent need to organize and train for conflict • Achieve joint interdependency POM 06-11 2

  4. CSA’s IntentA Joint and Expeditionary Army • 77-82 modular brigade combat teams • JTF-capable tactical/operational HQs • Reduced Echelons • Joint-enabled modular logistics • Balanced AC-RC capabilities • Surge-capable, stabilized, cohesive units • Streamlined institutional base with BRAC • More light infantry capability in the RC ROTATIONAL ROTATIONAL 71-76 Modular BCTs based in CONUS ROTATIONAL LEGEND Airborne Brigade • Light and more deployable • Adaptive headquarters • Flexible rotational basing Infantry Brigade Stryker Brigade Combat Team Armored Brigade Army Prepositioned Stocks Army Afloat Prepositioning Ships 5

  5. CSA’s Intent • No unit will be Reset to the same configuration. • Reset equipment left behind while the unit is deployed. • Take a holistic view of Army maintenance capabilities, not a local view. • Move out on modularity. • Ensure Obligation Authority level stays ahead of execution -- do not let Reset stall.

  6. Modularity • Active Component changes: • 10 new Active Component BCTs. • Conversion of existing BCTs to modular UA design. • Conversion of all Divisions to UEx design. • Incur O&S costs for 10 new BCTs. • SECDEF will make decision on 5 remaining BCTs in FY06. • Endstate: 43 BCTs and 10 UEx. • RC changes: • Conversion of existing ARNG BCTs to modular UA design. • Conversion of existing ARNG Divisions to UEx design. • Endstate: 34 BCTs and 8 UEx. • The Army will accomplish this through a combination of supplementals, POM funding, and reprioritization of equipment, personnel, etc already funded in the Army program.

  7. The Army Campaign Plan: 3rd Infantry Division Example • BEFORE • Division Centric • 3 Brigades • Enablers held at Division • Inadequate Joint Connectivity • Limited reconnaissance, intelligence, surveillance and target acquisition • AFTER • Brigade Centric • 4 Modular BCTs • Enablers embedded • Joint Connectivity • Robust reconnaissance, intelligence, surveillance and target acquisition (3X) Brigade Modular BCT Redeploy Training Combined Arms and Joint Training Deployed Deploy Force Stability Individual & Collective Available to Deploy Conversion E-Date: C3 E+90: Manned & Equipped to Standard E+180: Trained to Standard 12 Month Reset Model 7

  8. The Army Campaign Plan First Unit Equipped • Increased Joint Combat Capability • Globally Managed Deployments • Improved Versatility • Modular AC/RC Design • Increased Readiness • Increases Stability 6

  9. Setting the Force • A Senior Leader Process. • A forum to integrate and synchronize DOTLMPF to support the ACP. • Focus is strategy and plans to provide solutions to equipment requirements. • Synchronized to support other senior leadership decision processes. • A partnership among the ARSTAFF, Reserve Components, and MACOMs.

  10. Transformation SETTING THE FORCE Mission Areas (OIPT) APS Theater C4 Infrastructure Theater Augmentation Sets AMC Depot Seeds FY05 Supplemental (FY05 Pres Bud/marks) Reconstitution Modularity Building Capabilities “The Army Campaign Plan” Iraqi Army Equipment Restationing OIF3/OEF6 “Smart Reset” Planning ONS OIF & OEF Resourcing DRAFT Pre-decisional as of 11 Aug 04

  11. XX XX III X XX X V V Infantry UA UA XX XX XX XX X X X X X III Standardizing the Force Current Units designed to provide a specific capability, new units will be broad spectrum. Seven division designs to a more capable Unit of Employment: • Armored (heavy) • Mechanized Infantry (heavy) • Cavalry (heavy) • Light Infantry (light) • Airborne Infantry (light) • Air Assault Infantry (light) • Medium (Composite) UEX Unit of Employment Eight brigade/regiment designs to three Unit of Action designs: • Armored (heavy) • Mechanized Infantry (heavy) • Cavalry (heavy) • Cavalry (light) • Light Infantry (light) • Airborne Infantry (light) • Air Assault Infantry (light) • Stryker (Medium) Armored UA UA Stryker Brigade Units of Action

  12. Equipping Challenges • Modernization to Current Program Level • Maneuvering Resources to Reach S-1 at E+90 • Competition of Resources (GWOT vs. Modularity)

  13. Equipping Challenges Competing Requirements Who gets the truck? Reset Stay back RECAP/ SEED Modularity OEF OIF APS

  14. Resourcing and Equipping Strategy INFORMED BY *ASPB, FEASABILITY REVIEW, AND RESET THE FORCE GOSC DECISONS • Resources consistent with HQDA priorities • GWOT / ONS • TRADOC • Modularity • Reset The Force • Overarching guidelines • Cross level internally • Use available excess equipment external to the transforming units (including pre-positioned sets and depot stocks) • Consider “in lieu of” equipment where the required capability can be met, either temporarily or permanently • Refurbish equipment • New procurement • Things we’re working hard: • Trucks • SINCGARS • Crew served weapons * Army Strategic Planning Board

  15. Summary • Our environment has changed so the Army is becoming more Expeditionary. • Modularity is the way we will change. • Setting the Force covers a broad spectrum of events to integrate and synchronize the ACP. • Shortages require cascading throughout the force.

  16. BACK-UP

  17. CSA’s Intent The Army Campaign Plan • The overarching plan to transform the Army to: • Build a campaign-quality Army with joint and expeditionary capabilities in this decade • Provide relevant and ready land power to combatant commanders and Joint Forces • Sustain operational support to combatant commanders. • Maintain the quality of the all-Volunteer Force • By Regenerating combat power while increasing capability: • Regenerating Combat Power = Reconstitution = Reset • Increase capability by: • Reorganizing into modular formations • Taking a holistic view of readiness: • Soldiers – Force Stabilization; Recruiting and Retention; End Strength • Equipment – Fix forward; leverage depots, augmentation of contractors & installation assets; reset and modernize systems; munitions & commodities • Training – Training and certifying new Units of Action and Units of Employment • Leveraging budgets, supplemental appropriations and Army Program to fund reset
