DAMO-FD “Soldiers On Point for the Nation” Army TransformationA Full Spectrum Force Information Briefing Copy __ of __ Copies
Purpose • To outline the transformation strategy Agenda • Why change • Army Vision • Transformation Strategy
WMD Use on Homeland ? Disintegrated States Major Competitor Transnational Dangers Rogue States Asymmetric Warfare More Nuclear States WMD Proliferation Information Warfare Threat to U.S. Homeland Key Uncertainties-- Russia & China Regional Competitor Transnational Dangers Rogue States Asymmetric Warfare Proliferation of Advanced Technologies WMD Proliferation Information Warfare The Environment Has Changed • Past: • Cold War • Focused on Europe • Near-term: • No major competitor • Asymmetric threats will develop • Mid-term: • Competitor may emerge • Asymmetric threat expands • Far-term: • Major military competitor emerges • Advanced asymmetrical capabilities
The Army Has Changed…. We have maintained our ability to win the Theater Wars… • Changed Heavy Division design -reduced 3.5 divisions • Fielded 7+ brigade sets of Prepo (APS) • Embedding digitization in our equipment • Develop light force modernization plan But it isn’t enough to meet contingency requirements ... • Our equipment must be more deployable • Modernization programs stretched • Recapitalization cost unfinanced …So We Must Do More
The Army Vision “...light forces must be more lethal, survivable and tactically mobile.” “Heavy forces must be more strategically deployable and more agile with a smaller logistical footprint…” “When we deploy, every element in the warfighting formation will be capable of generating combat power and contributing decisively to the fight.”
MOD Task Force Process Briefed to: Senior Army Planning Group 4 Star Conference Army Commanders Conference 2 Star Forum Office Secretary of Defense • Dep Chief of Staff for Intel Threat Briefing • Working Integrated Product Team Analysis • The Army Plan - capability to system crosswalk • System Analysis • Recommendations • Overarching Integrated Product Team Analysis • Operational Feasibility • Technological Feasibility • Quantitative/Qualitative analysis • Impact Analysis • Operational • Political • Industrial Base • Other • Acceleration Package • Restructure Package • Draft Program Budget Decision
Strategic Responsiveness Goals 1 Brigade 96 Hours 1 Division 120 Hours 5 Divisions 30 Days
IBCT Operational Concept • Full spectrum • Rapidly deployable • Combat capable on arrival • Maintains freedom of maneuver • Decisive action from deliberate maneuver & dismounted Infantry assault • Operational mobility via C-130 • Internetted combined arms • Complex and urban terrain • Increased deployability and decreased sustainment footprint • Reach back • Operates under a Division, Corps or ARFOR HQ

THE ARMY’S INTENT Achieving the Vision MODERNIZATION GOALS Full Spectrum Capable Force • Light forces more lethal, survivable and tactically mobile • Early entry forces capable of decisive combat operations • Strategic Responsiveness • Make heavy forces more deployable • Reduce deployed logistics footprint • Focused Research Development and Acquisition • Science and Technology • Critical recapitalization
Light, Lethal Initiatives “...light forces must be more lethal, survivable and tactically mobile.” Budget Estimate Submission - BES 01-05 • Fire & Forget Anti-Tank missile Initiate Program • Accelerate High Mobility Artillery Rocket System 2 Battalions by FY05 • Accelerate Light Weight 155MM Howitzer 2 years to FY 03 • Line Of Sight Anti-Tank buy Adds Battalions • in FY04/FY06 Program Objective Memorandum - POM 02-07 • Land Warrior Buyback • Tactical Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Acceleration
Strategic Responsiveness “Heavy forces must be more strategically deployable and more agile with a smaller logistical footprint…” Budget Estimate Submission - BES 01 • Logistics Command and Control (C2) Accelerate programs • Global Combat Support System - Army • Combat Service Support Control System • Movement Tracking System • Transportation Coord Auto Info for Movement II • Deployability Interim Brigades Program Objective Memorandum - POM 02-07 • Joint Modular Lighter System Initiates procurement • Aerocraft Science & Technology • Joint Transport Rotorcraft Science & Technology
Recapitalization InitiativesBES 01-05 “When we deploy, every element in the warfighting formation will be capable of generating combat power and contributing decisively to the fight.” • Tank improvement • Restore Apache • Accelerate CH47F • Accelerate UH60L+ • Accelerate HEMTT Extended Service Program • Restore Hercules program
Proposed Divestitures • Base Kills • MLRS Smart Tactical Rocket (MSTAR) • Stinger Block II • Command & Control Vehicle (C2V) • Army Tactical Missile System Block IIA • Heliborne Prophet (Air) • * Wolverine (Bridger System) • * Grizzly (Breacher System) • Restructure • Future Scout & Cavalry System (becomes an ATD w/UK) • Crusader (40 tons from 55 tons & reduce the buy qty 450-480) * Kill Per OSD
Modernization Transformation Strategy • Digitization priority unchanged • Retain III Corps as counterattack Corps and XVIII Corps as contingency Corps • Interim vehicles…no predecisions, full and open competition • Determine sequence for transformation of other units
Summary • The Army will become Full Spectrum… Common Chassis… Common Organizations… meeting the National Security requirements of the future • A phased approach coupled with a sound investment strategy will facilitate transformation
