The Army Modular Force FROM WAR BACK TO WAR

The Army Modular Force FROM WAR…. BACK TO WAR! TO SSTR*…… * Stability, Security, Transition, Reconstruction An Army at War and Transforming Changing Our Units -- Modularity Changing Our Units Modularity Standardizing the design of our units. Moving from Division (larger) to Brigade Level (smaller) stand-alone units. Making Units capable of deploying more rapidly. Increase the ease with which we can rearrange units and integrate with other Services, Nations. Creates an interchange-able, scalable, tailor-able force for the combatant commander and deploys with all elements fully operational. Creating a larger pool of units to rotate through forward areas. What is Army Transformation? What is Army Transformation? Pre-Modular Force Structure Pre-Modular Force Structure Company and Battalion focused on specific skills: Infantry, Engineer, Intelligence, Artillery Brigades deploy as part of Division and task organized to create combined-arms “Combat Teams” Division considered the primary tactical-level command Company (~75 to 120 soldiers) Battalion (~350 to 750 soldiers) Brigade (~2,100 to 2,600 soldiers) Division (~13,000 to 16,000 soldiers) What is Army Transformation?

X Fires Brigade: Close support and precision strike employing Joint and organic fires and capabilities to achieve distributive effects. X Battlefield Surveillance Brigade (BfSB): Reconnaissance, surveillance, target acquisition and intelligence operations to build the common operational picture in order to focus joint combat power and effects. Combat Support Brigade (Maneuver Enhancement): Protection for the supported force - executing limited offensive, defensive, and stability missions to prevent or mitigate the effects of hostile actions or environments to preserve freedom of action. Sustainment Brigade: Logistics operations within an AO. X X SUST Support various levels (Divisions, Corps, Joint, Service, functional and multinational) by planning, preparing, executing and assessing functions. Reinforce and complement maneuver brigades.
