2 Civilian Military Divide

Dave Schechter Senior National Editor October 7th, 2011

"America doesn't know its military, and the United States military doesn't know America,” Adm. Mike Mullen, the recently- retired Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

• Only 1 percent of Americans serve in the military • Fewer than 8 percent of Americans are veterans (a fraction projected to grow smaller in the coming years). • Only one in five members of the U.S. Congress is a veteran, compared with three of every four in 1969. • In a 2010 survey, 92% of military family members surveyed agreed that the general public doesn’t understand or appreciate the sacrifices made by service members and their families. 3

5 Role of the Army

The purpose of the U.S. Army is to fight and win our Nation’s wars. Warfighting is our primary mission. Everything that we do should be grounded in this fundamental principle. It is imperative that we be responsive to Combatant Commanders as part of the Joint Force.

We do this by rapidly dominating any operational environment and providing decisive results across a full range of missions. 6 Nation’s Force for Decisive Action

PREVENT • We are the most decisive land force in the world SHAPE • We help shape the international environment so our allies are empowered and our enemies are contained WIN • No matter the task, no matter the environment, no matter the difficulty – America’s Army will always accomplish the mission

“The 1.1 million Soldiers who deployed to combat during the past decade have demonstrated remarkable courage, mental and physical fortitude. In that time, U.S. Soldiers have earned 6 Medals of Honor, 24 Distinguished Service Crosses, more than 600 Silver Stars and nearly 14,000 other awards for valor. Our accomplishments in Iraq and Afghanistan have come with an enormous cost, as more than 4,500 Soldiers have rendered the ultimate sacrifice and almost 33,000 have returned as Wounded Warriors. Through all of this adversity, the courage and resilience of our Soldiers, Civilians and Family members have demonstrated repeatedly that our Army remains the Strength of the Nation.” Army Posture Statement

February 2012 18 Wounded Warriors

Vice Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army Gen. Peter Chiarelli has pressed harder than any other officer to change the way soldiers view post- traumatic stress and other mental- health injuries.

• “Going to combat with the 1st Cavalry Division is something I will always remember . . . but the thing that I have done that has given me the most satisfaction is to try to at least begin the process of eliminating the stigma associated with behavioral-health issues,” he said. • In 2010, about 200,000 soldiers sought mental-health counseling for wounds such as post traumatic stress. “Everybody gasped, and I said that I hope it goes up higher than that,” Chiarelli said. Last year, more than 280,000 soldiers received treatment or counseling from behavioral-health specialists. Washington Post, January 12, 2012 19 Army Organizations and Force Structure

Fiscal Year 27

Source: FY 2005 President’s Budget Challenges—Budget Crisis

Honorable John McHugh Secretary of the Army

• Today we face another challenge -- a global financial crisis on top of an already uncertain and increasingly complex environment. As all of you are aware, the United States confronts a very large deficit problem, and we also know that sustaining the strength of our economy is a national security issue. Accordingly, in August, the Budget Control Act was passed, which requires a $487 billion reduction in DoD spending over the next ten years. And that has been reflected in the latest plan that was submitted. 28 Challenges—Budget Crisis

29 Budget Crisis

30 Force Structure Reductions • “As recently announced, this decreased end strength will result in at least eight fewer Active Component Brigade Combat Teams, going from 45 to 37. The first two BCT reductions occur in Europe, where the 170th BCT will inactivate in FY13, and the 172nd Brigade Combat Team will inactivate in FY14, both as they return from deployments in Afghanistan. Decisions on the remaining Brigade Combat Team reductions have not yet been Honorable John McHugh made.” Secretary of the Army

Remarks to the AUSA Winter Symposium Orlando, Florida 24 February 2012

31 Personnel Reductions • “By FY17, the Army will decrease its end strength from 570,000 to 490,000 in the Active Army. . . But it is not just about the numbers themselves; it is about reducing our end-strength over a deliberate and gradual ramp. • Why do I want this? This allows me to ensure I can take care of our Soldiers and Families and Department of Army Civilians. . . ,can continue to meet our contingency commitments, to include Afghanistan. And we can remain responsive for unforeseen contingencies and facilitate reversibility if necessary in this uncertain environment.” General Raymond T. Odierno Remarks to the AUSA Winter Symposium 38th Chief of Staff of the Army Orlando, Florida 24 February 2012

41 Pervasive Agility and Agile Fires

• Persistent Conflict in an age of uncertainty • Agility as a strategic imperative • Agility in the Abstract—defining agility • Agility in action—Limited Agility • Agility for the future—Pervasive agility

42 Nation’s Force for Decisive Action

Ready Today, Prepared for Tomorrow • The Army is the national force for sustained, decisive action, providing the Joint Force depth, versatility, flexibility, and effective operations across the spectrum of conflict • Recent history and global trends demand a versatile mix of capabilities, formations and equipment that provide our national decision makers flexibility across a range of operations • Readiness is non-negotiable. While it is clear our Army will resize, whatever the size the Army must remain highly trained and ready. Our Army and our Nation can accept nothing less. • Critical to the way ahead is a modernization plan that allows us to develop, field and sustain equipment in a more responsible and affordable manner. 43 21st Century Security Environment

44 21st Century Security Environment

 Highly Complex  Growing interdependence of financial, commercial, and information areas  Diffusion and access of technology  Threats posed by both nation states and non-state actors  Increasingly engaged in the human dimension  Array of Hybrid Challenges  Conflict and competition crossing multiple arenas  Complex and adaptive threats with robust lethal and non-lethal capabilities  Ruthless and unconstrained adversaries  Sustained Combat in an Era of Persistent Conflict  Multi-generational demands  Global insurgency fueled by radical Islam  Requirements across the full spectrum – from peacetime military engagements to major combat operations

45 Persistent Conflict Trends

“Protracted confrontation among state, non- state, and individual actors that use violence to achieve their political and ideological ends.”

Potential for violent conflict fueled by …

 Globalization  Population Growth  Resource Demand  Climate Change  WMD Proliferation  Failed or Failing States

Agility as a Strategic Imperative

“As we end today’s wars and reshape our Armed Forces, we will ensure “ that our military is agile, flexible, and ready for the full range of contingencies.”

President Barack Obama January 2012

47 Agility as a Strategic Imperative

“This country is at a strategic turning point after a decade of war and, therefore, we are shaping a Joint Force for the future that will be smaller and leaner, but will be agile, flexible, ready and technologically advanced.”

48 Agility as a Strategic Imperative

“Ideas matter . . . ideas can serve as the driving force behind significant institutional change.”

Foreword to The Army Capstone Concept, Operational Adaptability: Operating Under Conditions of Uncertainty and Complexity in an Era of GEN Martin E. Dempsey, Persistent Conflict, 2016-2028. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

49 Agility in the Abstract—Defining Agility

Agility: n. marked by a ready ability to move with quick easy grace; having a quick, resourceful, and adaptable character; nimbleness, dexterity.”

Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary, 10th Ed.,1994, 23.

Agility: ability of friendly forces to react faster than the enemy and is a prerequisite for seizing and holding the initiative. Agility is as “much a mental as a physical quality.”

US Department of the Army, Field Manual 100-5, Operations, June 1993, 2-7.

Agility in the Abstract—Defining Agility

A blended, comprehensive working definition of agility:

Agility is marked by a ready ability to move with quick easy grace; having a quick, resourceful, and adaptable character; nimbleness, dexterity; the ability to successfully effect, cope with, and/or exploit changes in circumstances; agility is comprised of component parts: responsiveness, versatility, flexibility, resilience, innovativeness, and adaptability.

Agility is about success, and winning. Losers are not agile. 51 Agile, Adaptive Leaders

Our leaders, at all levels, must: • Be competent in core tasks • Able to operate across the full range of missions • Be effective in Joint, Interagency and Combined environments • Be culturally aware and astute • Be courageous and able to recognize opportunities

52 Agility in Action

“History not used is nothing, for all intellectual life is action, like practical life, and if you don't use the stuff well, it might as well be dead.” Arnold J. Toynbee Historian, NBC Television Broadcast April 17, 1956

“Well, what happened was, we got our ass kicked. In the second half, we just got our ass totally kicked. . . . The second half, we sucked. We couldn’t stop the run. Every time they got the ball, they went down and got points. . . . It was a horseshit performance in the second half. Horseshit. I’m totally embarrassed and totally ashamed. Coaching did a horrible job. The players did a horrible job. . . . It sucked. It stunk.” Jim Mora, Head Coach of the New Orleans Saints October 1996

53 Agility in Action

“Essential elements of successful operations in Iraq included a keen understanding of the situation, integration of all arms and joint capabilities, the development and integration of indigenous forces, and military support to governance and development. Most important was the ability to adapt operations continuously as forces developed the situation through action.” 54 Agility in Action

“Artillery has to be a versatile asset. The Army can no longer afford to have artillerymen just do artillery missions.” Addressing the specific requirements that the counterinsurgency environment placed on artillery units, he continued: “Every one of my artillery battalions owned battlespace. My FA battalions were just like my maneuver battalions. That’s the kind of flexibility we need as we look to the future.” General Raymond T. Odierno,

65 Agility in Action—Operation Dirty Deeds

Agility is about success, and winning. Losers are not agile.

66 Deep Strike Flat Ass Rules

A—Attitude: Warrior Ethos with a Never-Quit attitude: Aggressive, adaptive, and relentless. We are the best battalion in the Army, and we will commit to excellence. We will defeat complacency.

T—Troop Leading Procedures. The Leaders and Soldiers of the Deep Strike Battalion are masters of the Troop Leading Procedures. Platoon Leaders and Platoon Sergeants will become experts on steps 1-7; step 8 is non-negotiable for every mission: · Pre-combat checks and Pre-combat Inspections (based on METT-TC) to standard—every time · Full dress rehearsal of actions on the objective—every time · Rock drill rehearsal of battle drills (based on METT-TC)—every time · AAR/Capture lessons learned—every action, every time

A—Accountability. Leaders will know the location of every Soldier under their command at all times. Battle Buddies—Battery commanders will assign all Soldiers a Battle Buddy. Soldiers will know the status of their battle buddy at all times. Soldiers will never travel without their Battle Buddy.

C—Communications. Every patrol/unit will have redundant communications means with their higher headquarters before leaving the FOB or crossing the line of departure: FM/ASIP, MBITR, Harris Radio, SATCOM, Iridium phone, BFT, or other means. This is Non-negotiable. Checks on all communications systems are part of PCC/PCIs—every time. No personal cell phones will be allowed off of the FOB. CREW is non-negotiable; no patrol will depart the FOB without adequate CREW coverage.

M—Maintain. We will maintain ourselves and our equipment to a high state of readiness at all times. The Deep Strike Soldier is fit and ready—physically, mentally, spiritually. Violations of General Order 1 (Drug and Alcohol use/Adultery and Sexual Harassment) will not be overlooked or tolerated. We will maintain all assigned equipment IAW with the appropriate TM—M1151s, MRAPs, weapons, communications, personal gear; our lives will depend on it.

S—Standards and Discipline. We will adhere to Army standards in every action; we will not just meet the standard; we will commit to excellence and strive to exceed the standard. Uniform. Uniform standards established by the CSM for Garrison and Tactical Missions are non-negotiable; our equipment will protect you from all threats, and leaders will ensure that it is worn properly at all times. 67 DISCIPLINE!

SUMMARY: SM has displayed outstanding individual Soldier discipline. This is a direct result of quality NCOs and a great 1SG being involved in all aspects of operations. fully understands the importance of discipline, it shows in everything; from TLPs to CP operations to simple uniformity through the entire unit.

Agility for the Future—Pervasive Agility

“Operational adaptability, agility and versatility—are not yet institutionalized in our doctrine and our training—they do not yet ‘pervade the force.’”

“Win, Learn, Focus, Adapt, Win Again,” GEN Martin E. Dempsey, Army Magazine, March Chairman of the Joint 2011. 25. Chiefs of Staff

69 Agility for the Future—Pervasive Agility

General Robert Cone, the commander of the Army Training and Doctrine Command, wrote that the dual core competencies of decisive action, combined arms maneuver and wide area security, “capture the lessons learned from our recent past and artfully blends them with the broader precepts of warfighting.”

Emerging Doctrine: Unified Land Operations and The Operating Concept describe an operational environment that will require an Army that is agile and adaptable enough to execute decisive action by means of complementary core competencies:  Combined arms maneuver (CAM), the application . . . of combat power to achieve advantage over the enemy.  Wide area security (WAS), the application . . . of combat power in coordination with other military and civilian capabilities to deny the enemy positions of advantage, protect forces, populations, infrastructure and activities and consolidate tactical and operational gains to set conditions for achieving strategic and

policy goals. 11. 70

Setting Conditions for the Future

Versatility • Central Organizing Principle • Multi-purpose forces • Balanced mix of capabilities

Interoperability Expeditionary • Unity of effort with partners • Organized, trained and • Building partner capacities equipped for worldwide • Interoperable mindset An agile, disciplined employment

Warrior Team, • Expeditionary mindset dominant across the spectrum of 21st Sustainability Agility • Soldiers, DA Civilians and Century conflict • Rapidly shift between tasks Families • Adapt to exploit opportunities • RC as Operational Force • Agile units, minds, and • Rotational predictability institutions

Lethality • Army’s core competency • Lethal precision • Precise non-lethal “fires”
