  1. Modular Forces Overview 19 January 2005 COL Rickey E. Smith Director, Futures Center Forward

  2. The Strategic Context • 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 We have over 274,000 SOLDIERS overseas in over 100 countries (~ 26 brigade combat teams) Combatant Commanders need versatile, potent land power

  3. Challenges for the Current Force • 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 3

  4. Army Force Generation Model Winning the War While Transforming the Army Transforming Now for the Strategic Environment A Campaign Quality Army with Joint and Expeditionary Capabilities Redesign the Organization Redefine the Culture Relieve the Stress Realignthe Force Invest for the Future Optimize our Capabilities Modularity Warrior Ethos Force Stabilization Future Forces AC/RC Balance Global Basing

  5. XX DIVISION = ~15,000 Soldiers & Equipment (typically over 30,000 when deployed) 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…

  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

  12. What Isn’t Changing The Soldier is the Centerpiece of All Our Units • Everything we do is designed to support the Soldier • A heritage of fighting and winning our Nation’s Wars • Traditions reflected in our unit’s lineage and honors 12

  13. Why We are Changing the Army Back Up Slides

  14. 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. CSA Guidance (August 2003)

  15. Versatile and Complementary Capabilities Light Bdes (Airborne; Air Assault; Light; Light Cavalry) Heavy Bdes (Armor, Mechanized, Armored Cavalry) Past • Mission Category 2 • Offensive, Defensive, and Security Missions in or near urban terrain against either regular or irregular forces • When in Forced Entry or Early Entry context, premium is on C-130 transportability and wheeled mobility • Premium is on infantry strength and mechanical transport • Mobile protected firepower is an asset • Mission Category 1 • Offensive, Defensive, and Security Missions in open or mixed terrain • Against either regular or irregular forces • Premium on mobile protected firepower balanced with dismounted infantry • Mission Category 3 • Offensive and Defensive Missions in close terrain (mountains, jungle, forests) against either regular or irregular forces • Premium is on infiltration by foot and air assault mobility Heavy Brigade Unit of Action Stryker Brigade Modular Infantry Brigade Unit of Action

  16. C Y Projecting the Army Worldwide • Units not tied to division base. • Simultaneous deployment from multiple power projection platforms. • Basing supports a campaign quality Army with joint and expeditionary capabilities. • Power projection platforms provide full range of support for responsive deployment, employment and sustainment of forces.

Conduct Host Nation Support (HNS) and contracting. Provide support to joint, interagency, and multinational agencies on order.
