  1. AC/RC CAB and BCT Restructure PlanRC Formations generally cost 1/3 of what the AC costs. This plan has 2 ARNG Bdes per AC Bde or a 1/3 – 2/3 ratio National Guard Aviation Proposal • Reduce number of Combat Aviation Brigades from 21 to 18 (6 AC to 12 ARNG) as opposed to the AC plan to cut from 21 to 10 – Saves 8 CABs • Saves nearly $3 Billion more annually than the AC’s proposed plan • Saves almost $4 Billion annually from the current Army Aviation Structure National Guard BCT Proposal • Reduce number of Brigade Combat Teams from 62 to 54 (18 AC to 36 ARNG) as opposed to the DoD plan to cut from 62 to 46 – Saves 8 BCTs • Saves over $400 Million more annually than the DoD proposed plan • Saves almost $4 Billion annually from the current Army BCT Structure Plan Saves $7.62 Billion/year And over $38 Billion/5 years

  5. CAB Restructure Proposal Full-Spectrum CAB by x4, Full-Spectrum Heavy CAB X2 AC CAB Structure • A/C Transfer 4 CABs to ARNG • A/C Decommissions 3 CABs - retains 6 CABs • A/C CAB retains 24 X AH-64E for each of 4CABs • A/C CAB retains 48 X AH-64E for each of 2 CABs • Maintain the OH-58 Fleet until replacement is fielded • One UAS Company in CAB formation • TH-67 remains IERW Training Aircraft until replacement trainer procured • Transfer of 4 x AC CAB to ARNG CABs saves $3.8 B/yr ($666m/yr for AC CAB vs $204m/yr for ARNG CAB) 38 UH-60, 15 HH-60, 12 CH-47 24 or 48 AH-64, 12 RQ-7, 12 MQ-1C, 30 OH-58D • ARNG sustains a 4 year ARFORGEN Cycle (Reset, TY1, TY2, Ready) • 3 CABs/year home station validation by State HQ with 1st Army oversight. • During Ready Year, 3 CABs available for immediate deployment to the AOR • 3 ARNG CABs Ready combined with 6 AC CABs provides 50% of force available, 50% in reserve • Guard Maintains LUH-72 in 2 HD/S&S Bdes • One UAS Battalion in CAB formation ARNG CAB Structure Full-Spectrum CAB X8, Full Spectrum Heavy CAB by X4 • Home Station Validation and Mobilization provide major additional cost savings per year 38 UH-60, 15 HH-60, 12 CH-47 24 or 48 AH-64, 24 RQ-7, 24 MQ-1C One CAB with 30 OH-58D in lieu of UAS

  6. AVIATION CONCEPT = $3.85B/year • Proposed Plan • 6 x Active Component CABs, 4 each with 1 ARB , 2 each with 2 ARB , total 8 ARB with 24 each AH-64E = 192 total • 12 x ARNG CABs, 8 each with 1 ARB, 4 each with 2ARB , total 16 ARB with 24 each AH-64E = 384 total • Total AH-64E in CABs (AC/RC) 576, remaining fleet of 124 AH-64 for IERW and ORF • Plan maintains 24 of 25 current ARBs all with AH-64E and 24 per ARB • New CABs – KYARNG, NCARNG, ARARNG, and WAARNG (Convert from Theater Commands) • Retain 2x HD/S&S in the ARNG and 2 X USAR Theater Commands • Deactivate 1st, 12th and 25th CABs • Only deactivating the 1-25 ARB, all other ARBs from deactivating CABs transfer to ARNG (8) • Retain all OH-58D until replacement aircraft is procured, savings by this plan could eventually pay for new armed scout • Conduct study of the need for manned, low-level, rotary wing reconnaissance vs. UAS teamed with AH-64E from ARB • Retain all S&S structure (212 UH-72s) in ARNG, savings by this plan could allow Army to solve its Training Helicopter deficiency Aviation Concept BCT Concept D = $2.992B w/8 More CAB D = $412M w/8 more BCT Notes: From Current to ARNG Plan saves $3.8B per year. From Current (62) to ARNG Plan (54) saves $3.77B per year. ($281M per AC BCT, $91M per ARNG BCT; includes $8m over 2 years for AC BCT deployment prep and $97m over 4 years for ARNG BCT deployment prep) ($666M per AC CAB, $204M per ARNG CAB) BCT CONCEPT = $3.77B/year • Proposed Plan • 62 Current BCT: 34 AC, 28 ARNG – DoD/CAPE would reduce to 46 BCT: 24 AC, 22 ARNG • ARNG Proposes to only draw down to 54 BCT, 18 in AC, 36 in ARNG • Plan correlates to 1 CAB per 3 BCTs • Move ARFORGEN Cycle to 4 years for ARNG BCTs like that for ARNG CABs (Reset ,Train 1, Train 2, Ready) • Plan allows for 50% of total force to be available (18 AC and 9 ARNG in Ready Year) other 50% in Reserve TOTAL CONCEPT = $7.62B/year or $38.1B/5 years
