    2. 2 Strategic Context Transform Army Modular Force (AMF) transforms from a Division to Brigade centric structure Restation Global Defense Posture Realignment (GDPR) re-postures capabilities to support and project an expeditionary force Realign BRAC 2005 Recommends 113 Army actions complete by 15 Sep 2011 Grow Increases Endstrength by 74.2K (AC 65.0K / ARNG 8.2K / USAR 1.0K) Our Army continues fighting the long war with high levels of force deployment, while preparing for an uncertain and complex future. This effort is as unprecedented as it is critical. Following 911, our Army began its most significant reorganization since World War II ensuring that all components are fully manned, equipped, and trained and adequately stationed to support our Soldiers and Families Thus, the impact of this transformation on our installations is equally unprecedented and critical to Army readiness. As our Army grows in size and capabilities over the next 5 years, our installations must be ready to provide the necessary support. The impact to our installations is significant: with almost 400k Soldiers and family members on over 304 installations/ locations impacted by our transformation. These are Over 150K Soldiers and Family Members returning from Overseas to 19 CONUS installations; 230K Soldiers and Families on 31 US-based installations impacted by GTA; AMF transformation impacting another 17 installations; 53 Installation realignments and 13 full closures of installations; and construction of over 100 new Armed Forces Reserve Centers Such volume of activity requires a tightly synchronized facility support strategy consisting of use of existing facilities, new permanent construction, and where operationally required, relocatable facilities Key to the successful execution of this plan is delivery of $66B of Military construction programmed between FY06-13. This construction provides necessary facility support for Soldiers and families- Providing Barracks, unit operations facilities, maintenance facilities, family housing and quality of life support facilities The next portion of this briefing will feature a key component of this unprecedented Army transformation- Stationing of Army Growth Transform designed around smaller, more self-contained organizations; Increased Brigades from 33 to 43; Transforms BDEs to BCTs Restation returns approximately 48.5K Soldiers to CONUS in FY05-11 (BDE of 2ID, 1ID HQ and BDEs, 1AD HQ and BDEs, CS/CSS units) Realign 12 Closures, 6 major Realignments, and constructs 125 AFRCs; integrates active and reserve units; postures forces with increased flexibility and agility Grow Increases Operating Force by 80.6K AC 49.4K / ARNG 14.2K / USAR 17K); Builds 6 IBCTs by FY11 and 8 Combat Support / Combat Service Support Brigades to the operating force by FY13 Our Army continues fighting the long war with high levels of force deployment, while preparing for an uncertain and complex future.

    4. Programming for Unprecedented Construction

    5. FY09 MILCON Programs 5

    6. BRAC 2005 Update

    7. 7 Program Overview The BRAC MILCON program is our center of gravity as it constitutes approximately 75% of BRAC funding and drives the movement schedule. Note, there are no new MILCON starts after FY 10. BRAC law requires that we meet the intent of the law no later than 15 September 2011. FY08 and 09 are the largest MILCON years – we now do expect restoration of the $560M in the Supplemental, but have been told to expect it on or about the 1st of August. This means the projects associated with these funds must compete with other year-end work, in addition to the commercial construction market for award. Approximately 25% of the programmed, one-time BRAC costs are for civilian entitlements like: severance pay, civilian permanent change in station, transportation of things, mothballing of facilities, lease termination, and facility outfitting of furnishings, and equipment, and information systems. One additional constraint this year, in the NDAA - reprogramming requirements. FY06 – Executed 99.9% of $872.9M program FY07 – Executed 94% of $3.6B program, despite having $2B not provide until June 2008! BRAC funds one-time implementation costs. Environmental remediation of all BRAC properties Military Construction/Renovation Civilian Personnel Actions Permanent Change of Station (PCS) Severance Pay Transportation of Equipment Contract Termination Mothballing - facility layaway (no caretaker costs) The BRAC MILCON program is our center of gravity as it constitutes approximately 75% of BRAC funding and drives the movement schedule.

    16. 16 We Value The Community As A Partner Our Soldiers and civilians and their families rely on the community: - Housing - Spouse/family employment - Education - Recreation - Medical Our installations are dependent on the communities (transportation infrastructure, utilities, quality of life) We bring employment opportunities to your Community – Historically only 30% of an Army organization’s government civilians move to a new location Succeeding in BRAC will be a “team” effort Handbook for Growth Communities
