Plan BEERSHEBA Brief to DRA 20 August 2011 MAJGEN John Caligari
Scope Total Force Concept origins Context BEERSHEBA: Total Force implications Reserve implications Key outcomes Way ahead
Total Force Concept Regular (conventional) Reserves APS/contractors/other Government Agencies
Context • ‘Replaces RBA’ • Army Objective Force (AOF) Handbook • Force Generation Cycle (FGC) • Army of 4s • CLIPS • amphibious capability • major equipment changes - M777, Land 400, L121, JP2072/L200 • Pressures - SRP and efficiency dividend • Over establishment (APEP) & over manning (AFS) • P3L
Pressures / Changes Reduced standing capability Catering Water Transport Centralisation Bulk Supplies (Operational Brigade level CSS capability in in-barracks ‘Force’ level units) Combat Support capacity CS (esp. Cbt Eng) Wide Span of Command Signals (force level) Intelligence Protected Mobility B Sqn protected mobility changes to Cav unit
Pers Pressures Pri List (P3L) Increasing Intelligence capability sustainability Combat Engineer sustainability (additional CE Sqn per CER) Special Forces C2 Battlegroup HQ expansion Artillery gun line expansion to 10 pers (international practise) Special Forces capability for responsive posture Additional CH47F Additional (third) RQ7B Shadow 200 system Additional (3rd) dedicated Army EOD Tp 2nd Intelligence Battalion life support for Int Bn to ease span of command Water Transport capability DCP replacement and LOT extension SOCOMD further combat expansion LUH Sqn to relieve pressure of Domestic Response tasks Relieving pressure on Signals span of command Reviving Air Defence capability (additional AD Bty) Expanding capacity of catering capability
Plan Beersheba • 3 ‘Like Bdes’ = Multi-role Manoeuvre Brigades (MMB) • 6 ARes Bdes – linked 2 per MMB (BG output) on same FGC • 3 ‘Enabling (specialist) Bdes’ (4s)
RMW (briefed by DGRES-A) RMW • Purpose: Optimise Reserve contribution to Army's capability as part of Total Force • Method: Three stage plan (stages overlap) • Stage 1. Workshops (ARes/ARA 1*) x 2 • Stage 2. Consultation (esp. after RMW01) • Stage 3. Development via FMR for inclusion in Plan BEERSHEBA • Supported by complementary + synchronised CRESD analysis - Conditions of Service (SUAKIN)
June CASAC – Endorsed Role & Tasks Habitual relationships with MMB on the same 36 month FORGEN cycle – Readying, Ready, Reset Enduring capability outputs to MMB Broad structure (6 x Bdes) 2 DIV FT manning cap 907!
Role The Army Reserve is to deliver specified capability to support and sustain ADF preparedness and operations
Tasks Core Tasks Deliver specified warfighting capabilities (main effort) – STABOPS emphasis Provide domestic HADR & DOMSEC as part of WOG approach Maintain and provide specialist individual capabilities Contribute to Army surge capabilities Supporting tasks
Focused contributions to ops (esp regional stabops) and FE in specified specialist capabilities Provide individuals and force elements for regional and national DOMSEC, including DFACA within Australia Provide round out, reinforcement & rotation to support Army’s overall ability to sustain prolonged operational deployments Provide individuals and force elements for short notice regional and national DACC within Australia Deliver specified warfighting capabilities (Main Effort) HADR and DOMSEC as part of WOG approach Raise, train and sustain units and individuals within the Army force structure of the future Provision of regional DOMSEC, DFACA and DACC C2 nodes within Australia Contribute to rounding out Joint capability as required Provide individuals and force elements for off-shore HADR Army Reserve Tasks Provision of specified individual round out, reinforcement & rotation capabilities Maintain and provide specialist individual capabilities Contribute to Army surge capabilities Provision of force elements and individuals for operational use Provision of specified niche (unique) capabilities • Non-Aligned Supporting Task: • Promote Army/ADF in the Community • Maintain effective community engagement • Effectively use links with regions and local communities Optimising the use of available civilian skills Provision of force elements and individuals for Army RTS functions Managing niche skills from ex-ARA, ex-Active Reserve, and Standby Reserve personnel

Key Outcomes • Total Force Concept supported by action • Clear role and tasks • Specified capability outputs • Reserve better structured to deliver specified capability outputs • Continued Reserve focus post current ops
Issues • Reduced ARA numbers • Downsizing of some units (RAA/RAE/MONUR) • Some mix of types in units (RAA under RAINF; Constr Sqn under CER) • new CER + PMV Sqn + RAA Bty – 11 BDE • reduced span of command/governance • reduced hollowness (so better use of ARA) • mitigation measures (e.g. sub-units retain Regt traditions; staff at Bde/DIV)
Way ahead • SRP-HRR (link to FGC Battle group need) • Plan SUAKIN • Personnel Cost Model (PCM) • Predictive Behaviour Model (PBM) • Transition Plan & implementation • Ongoing analysis of adjustment – trades, staff, careers, pay, resources
ARA ARes? • INT (esp PSYOPS + HUMINT) • Cyber warfare • Security • Surveillance (persistent + ground) • Water Transport • Transport
