Problem Statement
CSA to CG, TRADOC (July 2011):
How do we transition from todays force to the Army of 2020 in an era of fiscal austerity and still accomplish all that the Army must do as part of the Joint force?

S02291300

What must the Army of 2020 do? Can we eliminate entire C2 echelons? Can we justify EAB C2 overhead after reducing BCTs? What is the role of the Corps and Division? Can we create a common structure to reduce affordability issues with the current mix of H-, I-, and SBCTs? Is it a BCT- or Division-based solution? Are Brigades assigned to Divisions and Corps? How do we tie in an affordable Modernization Strategy to force designs? How do we keep the Army expansible? How do we resolve the unsustainable officer grade plate? How do we link regional alignment to training? How do we generate readiness and tie this process to a regional alignment strategy? How do we leverage Joint interdependencies to identify and eliminate redundancy?

Hybrid Threats in 2020

Three components of Hybrid Threats Nation States or Proxies with a range of capabilities Desire to preclude U.S. from executing its way of war Capabilities that affect the strategic calculus, missiles, nuclear weapons and terror sponsorship specifically designed to impact U.S. actions JOAC ASB Capabilities:
SAMs MANPADS ATGMs Missiles

Anti-access and area denial campaigns strategic thru tactical levels Engage at small unit level where they perceive a greater chance to obtain overmatch and achieve success Use violence, intimidation and coercion against U.S. supporters WMD capable but still seeking nuclear Avoid detection and targeting by operating among the people Slow down or halt our momentum using anti-tank missiles, IEDs, air defense and SOF Increased use of robotics and unmanned aerial systems Employ electronic warfare to counter US precision Conduct sophisticated information campaigns designed to erode US will over time

What the Army Must Do: Prevent, Shape, and Win: Strategic guidance requires the Army to conduct a wide range of missions while retaining the ability to focus more narrowly on projecting power to deter and defeat aggression once a specific threat emerges. The combination of a narrow focus within a wide lens allows the Army to adjust more rapidly to potential threats.

What the Army Must Do

as Part of the Joint Force (UQ 2012 Recommendation)
Project military power despite anti-access/area denial (A2AD) challenges:
Maintain a capable and rapidly deployable Global Response Force Conduct entry operations, including forcible entry, to defeat anti-access/area denial strategies Open and set theaters of operations to enable joint military action Provide deployable joint and coalition-capable headquarters

Operate effectively in cyberspace and space:

Maintain a robust cyber network to enable land force dominance Operate, Defend and attack within, through, and from cyberspace Remain able to operate in degraded mode Defend space-based systems and operate their supporting ground-based infrastructure

Preserve and enhance the All Volunteer Force:

Recruit and retain quality Soldiers Promote a positive environment for Soldiers and their families

The Army must be able to Prevent, Shape, and Win as part of a Joint Force

Adapt ARFORGEN to a Selective Mission Readiness Model

Key Elements: Rotational Pool. The majority of forces move through reset, train/ready, and available phases of progressive readiness. Taken together, these phases encompass 27 months (nine deployed) and may eventually decrease to 24 total months.
Readiness phases are progressive over time, generating a third of the AC force and a fifth of the RC force at any time. Units in the available phase are also able to be assigned to the mission pool as a surge force based on requirements. Rotational pool units train to the level commensurate with their directed mission or that of specific mission pool units. Units that do not deploy reset on a significantly shortened timeline depending on their mission and individual unit requirements.
Strategic Requirements
Mission Pool Reset Train Ready Available

Time
Ready Forces

Rotational Pool Reserve Pool

Mission Pool. Select AC and RC forces (including critical RC enablers) are assigned to a mission pool. These forces remain in a constant state of readiness and are maintained using individual replacements. They never drop into the rotational pool. Reserve Force Pool. The reserve force pool is comprised of forces that are not organized, trained, or equipped to deploy rapidly, such as the generating force units and select RC units.

Future R&S Brigade Requirements

Recent operations and future projections indicate need for capable reconnaissance at EAB:
IED problem: a lack of area security, despite effective collection capability Better intelligence via intensive and repetitive ground patrolling to secure wide areas Improved route recon and route clearance TTPs and equipment More than collection and fusion: Must engage hybrid threats and interact with the population

Current doctrine and formations are not adequate:

Doctrinal revisions or modest organizational fixes will not address the gap Sensors or lightly-armed troops alone cannot conduct effective recon operations at EAB

The Army needs a new operational concept for a reconnaissance formation at corps / division:
Conduct intelligence collection; answer PIR Fight for information in close contact with the population and the enemy Direct and employ joint fires as required Act as a light-to-medium weight strike force (e.g., following forcible entry and lodgement seizure)

An enhanced reconnaissance and security formation could provide:

Traditional recon functions for a division / corps engaged in combat and stability missions A mix of capabilities that support combined arms maneuver and wide area security Offensive operations: screen the front or flank of a maneuvering division or corps; early entry force after forcible entry; act as an advanced guard to protect a corps or division main effort Defensive operations: conduct a counter-recon fight; provide area and route security Stability operations or DCSA: secure wide areas and operate in an economy of force role in corps and division unassigned areas to allow the concentration of effort elsewhere

R&S Brigade Employment Options

Operates in Area Assigned by Corps Operates in Area Assigned by Div Operates Across the Division Area

The R & S BDE conducts Reconnaissance and Surveillance in the DIV or Corps AO based on METT-TC. It can operate in an area assigned by the supported commander or operate in an unassigned area within the Division or Corps AO. The R & S BDE enables the understanding of the networks and operational environment. Finds key network elements and their vulnerabilities Fuses intelligence: In conjunction with Div / Corps / BCTs and extended intelligence enterprise; to enable network exploitation / attack. The R & S BDE conducts fix and finish missions based on METT-C factors and augmentation (Maneuver BN, Fires, AV) The R & S BDE provides Flexibility and Versatility to the DIV & Corps. METT-TC considerations will determine the operational reach of the R&S BDE; the Corps or Division Commander may focus the R & S BDE into one or more tactical operating areas to answer PIR and / or identify enemy network elements.

Improve Army Advisory Capability

What do we need?

Priorities of 21st Century Defense: Whenever possible, we will develop innovative, low-cost, and smallfootprint approaches to achieve our security objectives, relying on exercises, rotational presence, and advisory capabilities. 38th CSA Marching Orders: The Army shapes the environment by sustaining strong relationships with other Armies, building their capacity, and facilitating strategic access. ASCC Engagements: Corps has to hunt for a Theater Engagement Group/Theater Engagement Section, (TEG/TES) capability prior to deployment; it should be provided to them. Emphasizes the role of regionally-focused engagement to command's success, particularly in shaping and preventing. General Officer Operational Assessment: Provides a separate subordinate organization to provide mission command over Army forces engaged in theater security cooperation activities in Host Nations, and provide Army institutional development advice and expertise to HN land forces.

Potential Solutions:
Use regionally aligned forces (through GFM process) Assign advisory element to ASCC (with organic TTs) Assign advisory element to ASCC (and use regionally aligned forces for TTs) Employ a centralized structure adapted from current organizations (e.g. 162nd, AEG)

Reversibility and Expansibility

Problem Statement: How does the Army ensure it is able to restore needed
capabilities and capacity to meet future contingencies after beginning force reductions and in response to the current strategic environment and budget constraints?

Key Definitions: Reversibility:

The ability of the Army to slow and reverse a planned drawdown in the force through the use of specific strategies, policies, and selected investments. Reversibility requires the Army to make and sustain selected investments and put policies in place to mitigate risk and posture the force to respond quickly to unforeseen requirements or changes in the National Defense Strategy.

Expansibility:

The ability of the Army to grow capabilities and capacity not resident in the existing Total Army. Expansibility employs reorganization and mobilization of the existing Army, coupled with regeneration and capabilities development to reconstitute or produce new capabilities and capacity. Expansibility combines intellectual capital, concepts, and methods to produce increased capabilities and capacity in response to operational demands.

Gain and Maintain Access Problem Statement

Adversaries will employ anti-access/area-denial capabilities using tactics intended to offset U.S. advantages in joint integration, hightech sensors, and stand-off, precision weaponry. For example:

Hiding sophisticated weapon systems in complex terrainparticularly in heavily populated urban areasin order to counter the U.S. ability to find and target them via technical means; Denying use of fixed airfield and ports to U.S. forces by creating unacceptable risk; Creating periods of air, cyber, or sea superiority.

How will the Joint Force Commander set conditions and employ Army-Marine forces to defeat area denial capabilities and maintain access throughout a campaign?

Gain and Maintain Access Central Idea

Army and Marine Corps forces contribute to the Joint Force Commanders effort to gain and maintain operational access by entering hostile territory, without benefit of domain dominance, and employing combined arms maneuver to locate and defeat area-denial capabilities. U.S. Army and Marine Corps forces must be capable of:

Conducting simultaneous force projection and sustainment to multiple, unexpected, austere locations.
Countering the effects of adversary actions against the air, sea, space and cyberspace domains by locating, seizing, neutralizing, or destroying land-based capabilities, thereby enabling cross domain synergy. Seizing key terrain to facilitate the entry of follow-on forces.

Gain and Maintain Access Supporting Ideas

Exploit the Sea as Maneuver Space.

Army forces operate through and from the Seabase. Marine forces conduct Ship to Objective Maneuver.

Access and Operate in Austere Locations

Forces must sustain initial operations independent of local infrastructure.

Integrate Special Operations Forces with Conventional Forces

Critical to setting conditions prior to entry, continuing operations at depth, and assisting in maintaining access during follow on operations.

Reduce Force Vulnerability

Army and Marine force developers must seek innovative ways to reduce signatures and logistics demands.

Operate From Intermediate Staging Bases

Key action required for increased speed of force flow/build up in the joint operational area.

Fight for Information

Entry forces seek joint integration of communication, navigation, intelligence, reconnaissance, targeting processes, and command and control.

Conduct Mounted Vertical Maneuver

The maneuver by air and vertical insertion of mobile armor protected combined arms forces.

Key tasks required to project power and conduct entry operations given an active area denial environment
