The Strategic Context

Combatant Commanders need versatile, potent land power

We have over 274,000 SOLDIERS overseas in over 100 countries

(~ 26 brigade combat teams)

• We are a nation at war

• This is a prolonged period of conflict for the US with great uncertainty about the nature and location of that conflict

• We must be able to defuse crises and/or defeat aggression early to prevent escalation, limit damage

• Thus, we need flexible, rapidly deployable forces and sufficient depth and strength to sustain multiple, simultaneous operations

161645JAN05 3

• War is the norm, peace is the exception

• Our adversaries seek adaptive advantage through asymmetry

• We have near peer competitors in niche areas

• Conventional Force on Force conflicts are still possible

• There is an enormous pool of potential combatants armed with irreconcilable ideas

• Our homeland is part of the battlespace

• We are adapting to these challenges NOW

What the Current Force Looks Like

The Army Division = traditional building block

But…• Optimized for major land campaigns against similarly

organized forces• Large, fixed organizations with interconnected parts• Requires extensive reorganization to create force

packages• Limits Regional Combatant Commander’s ability to mix

and match packaged capabilities for multiple missions• Limited Joint capabilities

We’re good, but we can be better…

= ~15,000 Soldiers & Equipment (typically over 30,000 when deployed)

161645JAN05 6

How to Change

We must create units that are more relevant to Regional Combatant Commanders and generate versatile combat power with units that are…

• More self-contained, sustainable, lethal force packages

• Organized with capabilities for the full range of missions

• Truly joint interdependent – a trained and ready member of the joint force

• Comprised of adaptive, competent, and confident Soldiers and leaders

A Campaign Quality Army with Joint and Expeditionary Capabilities

CSA Guidance (August 2003)

• Create a modular “brigade-based” Army that is more responsive to Regional Combatant Commanders’ needs, better employs Joint capabilities, facilitates force packaging and rapid deployment, and fights as more self-contained units in non-linear, non-contiguous battlespaces.

• Approach:– Create modular, standing 3 and 2 star headquarters for assignment to

regional combatant commanders to command and control Army, Joint, and multinational forces

– Create modular heavy and infantry Brigade Combat Team Units of Action designed and organized to deploy and fight on arrival as under the Joint Force Commander or a designated Army commander

– Create modular multifunctional Support Brigades designed and organized to deploy and fight on arrival in support of Joint or Army headquarters and/or Brigade Combat Team Units of Action

– Use combinations of the modular constructs defined in headquarters and brigades to create flexible, scalable forces in response to regional combatant commander needs.

– Brief the Regional Combatant Commanders and Army Service Component Commanders (ASCC) on work in progress … gain their insights.

Mapping Organizations to Roles and Missions Based on Functions

Support Brigades support UE, joint, Service, functional and multinational HQs by planning, preparing, executing and assessing functions:

• Aviation Bde: Aviation and combined arms operations to find, fix, and destroy enemy forces and sustain combat power.

• Fires Bde: Close support and precision strike employing Joint and organic fires and capabilities to achieve distributive effects.

• Battlefield Surveillance Bde: Reconnaissance, surveillance, target acquisition and intelligence operations to build the common operational picture in order to focus joint combat power and effects.

• Maneuver Enhancement Bde: Protection for the supported HQ - executing limited offensive, defensive, and stability missions to prevent or mitigate the effects of hostile actions or environments to preserve freedom of action.

• Sustainment Bde: Plan, coordinate, synchronize, monitor, and control sustainment within assigned Area of Operations. Conduct Host Nation Support (HNS) and contracting. Provide support to joint, interagency, and multinational agencies on order.

Support BrigadesCommon Characteristics

• Completely tailorable/scaleable - flexible task organization based on METT-TC

• Modular - subordinates can plug in and out of Support Brigade Headquarters easily

• Networked - with connectivity and LNO package to work directly for any UE, joint, Service or functional HQ (MARFOR, JFACC) as well as multinational HQ (NATO Rapid Reaction Force HQ, etc)

• Inherently joint – uses, and contributes to, other Service capabilities (network connectivity, ISR, fires, lift, etc)

• Agile - can reinforce other brigades with subordinate capabilities

• Multifunctional - each headquarters employs multiple branch capabilities to accomplish a broad, ongoing, function

Aviation BrigadeMission: Plan, prepare, execute and assess aviation and combined arms operations to support UEx and maneuver brigade scheme of maneuver to find, fix, and destroy enemy forces at the decisive time and place.

Mission: Enables and enhances the full dimensional protection and freedom of maneuver of a supported Army, joint or multinational headquarters by shaping, leveraging or mitigating the effects of the operational environment at the tactical and operational levels. It augments maneuver and support brigades with functional assets to optimize the tailored capabilities of those organizations and enhance force application, protection, and focused logistics across multiple areas of operation and can provide a headquarters to command and control an assigned area of operations including maneuver forces.
