Modular Force Overview

NGAUS 2005 127th General Conference

Combined Arms Center G8

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.

G8 Mission Statement
G8 leads the integration of Modular Force conversion across TRADOC in support of Army Transformation, in order to ensure successful institutionalization of the Armys Modular Force. The CAC G8 coordinates and manages Modular Force DOTMLPF-BC requirements and efforts across CAC and TRADOC, including proponent efforts in implementing Modular Force initiatives within doctrine, collective training, leader development, lessons learned and battle command. In addition, CAC G8 identifies and reports Modular Force resource requirements and shortfalls, serves as a conduit between TRADOC and the Modular Force Coordination Cells of the converting units, manages the collection of lessons learned in converting units and educates Army, sister service, civilian and foreign audiences on the Modular Force.

Concept for the Modular Force

Due to Recent changes in the world and political environments, the United States Army has changed from a forward presence Modularity enhances the Army's ability to rapidly and rapid reinforcement force to a force projection force. respond TRADOC Pamphlet 525-68 to a wide range of global contingencies with a Often times, commanders require a function to be force possessing needed functions and capabilities, performed does warrant deployment of an while which deploying a not minimum ofthe troops and equipment. entire unit. However, deploying portions of units can render the parent organization incapable of performing its Military Operations Concept for Modularity mission
10 January 1995

Army Chief of Staff Guidance

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, noncontiguous 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 RCCs and Army Service Component Commanders (ASCC) on work in progress gain their insights.

Clear Need for Change

We need to generate more versatile combat power because We have extended worldwide commitments We will remain at war for the foreseeable future We must slow perstempo increase dwell time We must be more responsive to Combatant Commanders needs

What the Legacy Force Looks Like

The Division
XX

= ~15,000 Soldiers & Equipment

(typically over 20,000 when deployed)

But Optimized for major land campaigns against similarly organized forces Large, fixed organizations with interconnected parts Requires extensive reorganization to create force packages

How We are Changing

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

Meeting Our Current and Future Needs

77 BCTs (34 RC and 43 AC) Enables Stabilization and Life Cycle Management

Joint Capability Embedded

Increases Predictability of Deployments Maximizes Transportation Systems

Rapid and Tailorable Force Packages BCT CDR Owns and Trains His Units

Transforming to a Modular Force

Modularity is packaging units into flexible configurations
Modular units are rapidly deployable, responsive, agile, and can be tailored into discrete packages of land force combat power

Common Characteristics
Completely tailorable/scaleable - flexible task organization based on mission requirements. Modular - subordinates units can plug in and out of Support Brigade HQs easily. Networked - with connectivity and liaison package to work directly for any Unit of Employment, 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.

Examples of Lessons Learned

Doctrine Issue: The Heavy BCT is not organized, equipped or trained to conduct battalion-sized air assault operations. Outcome: Addressed in draft FM 3-90.6, The HBCT can only support company sized or less (tactical combat force) air assaults.

Organization Issue: The IN BCT BTB lacks sufficient C2, intelligence, logistics, maintenance and life support capabilities to accomplish its mission as described in the Comprehensive Guide to Modularity. Outcome: USAFMSA documented changes to the IN BCT BTB similar to the HQDA-approved HBCT BTB organizational structure.

Examples of Lessons Learned

Training Issue: How to we train all BCTs to conduct Bn sized AASLT operations as prescribed by the comprehensive guide to Modularity? Outcome: All BCTs now funded for Air Assault Training.

Personnel Issue: EOD school determined that EOD manning at UEx was inadvertently left off the design Outcome: Added two man cell to UEx, CBRN Section.

Examples of Lessons Learned

Materiel Issue: IN School recommended adding ITAS-TOWs to provide a necessary capability beyond that of the Javelin due to its range and ITAS sight. Outcome: Added two ITAS-TOW per platoon, an increase of 52 ITAS to the Army. Approved and applied.

Leader Development Issue: MP company commander within the BCT no longer has a MP-branch specific mentor in his chain of command. Outcome: Pending development by branch proponent.

Summary
The Modular Force will meet the Regional Combatant Commanders needs and is the foundation for building a Campaign Quality Army with Joint and Expeditionary capabilities The Modular Force is the Armys future
