Create a modular brigade-based Army that is moreresponsiveto regional combatant commanders needs,better employs J oint capabilities, facilitates force

packaging and rapid deployment, andfights as more self

contained units in non-linear, non-contiguous battlespaces.

2/48

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 Cellsof 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

TRADOC Pamphlet 525-68

Military Operations

Concept for Modularity

10 January 1995

Due to Recent changes in the world and political environments,the United States Army has changed from a forward presence

and rapid reinforcement force to a force projection force.

Often times, commanders require a function to beperformed which does not warrant the deployment of an

entire unit. However, deploying portions of units canrender the parent organization incapable of performing its

mission

Modularity enhances the Army's ability to rapidly

respond to a wide range of global contingencies with aforce possessing needed functions and capabilities,while deploying a minimum of troops and equipment.


5/48

Army Chief of Staff Guidance

Create a modular brigade-based Army that is more responsive toRegional Combatant Commanders needs, better employs Jointcapabilities, facilitates forcepackaging 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 regiona

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

Create modular heavy and infantry Brigade Combat Team Units ofAction

designed and organized to deploy and fight on arrival as underthe Joint Force Commander or a designated Army commander

Create modular multifunctional Support Brigades designed and

organize

d to deploy and fight on arrival in support of Joint or Armyheadquarters and/or Brigade Combat Team Units of Action

Use combinations of the modular constructs defined in headquartersand brigades to create flexible, scalable forces in response to regionalcombatant 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 dwelltime

We must be more responsive to Combatant

Commanders needs

What the Legacy Force Looks LikeThe Division

But

Optimized for major land campaigns against similarly organized

forces

Large, fixed organizations with interconnected parts Requires extensive reorganization to create force packages

= ~15,000 Soldiers & Equipment(typically over 20,000 when deployed)

XX


10/48

How We are Changing

We must create units that are more relevant to RegionalCombatant 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 confidentSoldiers and leaders

Support Brigades

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.

Supporting brigades with standard headquarters, but variable subordinate units

Examples of Lessons Learned

Doctrine-

Issue: The Heavy BCT is not organized, equipped ortrained 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 theComprehensive Guide to Modularity.

Outcome: USAFMSA documented changes to the IN

BCT BTB similar to the HQDA-approved HBCT BTB

organizational structure.

E l f L L d


45/48

Training-

Issue: How to we train all BCTs to conduct Bn sizedAASLT 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.


E l f L L d


46/48

Materiel-

Issue: IN School recommended adding ITAS-TOWs toprovide 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 ofcommand.

Outcome: Pending development by branch proponent.


Summary

Summary

The Modular Force will meet the Regional Combatant

Commanders needs and is the foundation for building aCampaign Quality Army with Joint and Expeditionary

capabilities

The Modular Force is the Armys future

Meeting the present threat demands a major change in our

organizations and operations

The Modular Force can satisfactorily perform full-spectrummissions

CAC is TRADOCs lead agency for implementing conversion to

the Armys Modular Force
