Journal 2019 FOREWORD ALLIED RAPID REACTION CORPS ALLIED RAPID REACTION CORPS Ready for Today - Evolving for Tomorrow Journal 2019 Journal 2019 FOREWORD Welcome to the 2019 ARRC Journal. 2018, with its focus on ALLIED RAPID the Corps Deep Battle, was the second year in a five-year REACTION CORPS plan aimed at recalibrating the ARRC back to a warfighting Ready for Today - Evolving for Tomorrow role. This plan sits as part of the ARRC’s broader Capabilities, Development and Experimentation (CD&E) programme and is, in turn, nested within NATO’s pioneering work on adaptation and modernisation. The articles in this journal reflect elements of that work, as well as highlighting some wider, individual conceptual thinking. Further lessons will undoubtedly emerge in 2019 as we concentrate on Corps Rear Operations and as the ARRC works towards achieving Initial Operating Capability, following Exercise ARRCADE FUSION in November. I’m extremely grateful for the commitment and professionalism of those, from across our 23 Participating Nations, who’ve found the time to turn their thoughts into words. I commend these articles to you.

It is tempting to reduce the size of the Main CP by cutting positions in the deployed establishment or splitting personnel amongst a greater number of smaller work spaces.

To try and reduce the ‘what’ without understanding the ‘how’ or ‘why’ will lead to a failure of tactical control, which is the essential purpose of the Main CP. Outputs (Why). The Main CP holds tactical control over the Corps, delivering essential functions that can only take place in the battlespace: Planning, sustainment, enabling and assessment. All activity within the Main CP must service these functions. Any activity not essential to these functions or could occur outside theatre should be reduced or eliminated. This should be extended to functions that are performed by higher or lower formations. Processes (How). The processes that drive the battle rhythm of the Main CP The UPDF planned and executed the deployment of a brigade to South Sudan using only maps, must be effective in the first instance.

By March 2016, when the World Health Organization (WHO) announced an end to the Public Health Emergency of International Concern declared in August 2014, some 28,616 confirmed, probable and suspected cases, with 11,310 deaths, had been reported in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone – the three worst-affected countries. • The exceptional magnitude and duration of the emergency meant that the response was honed over time, presenting a rare opportunity to study the management of the response as it matured. This paper focuses on Sierra Leone, which experienced the highest number of cases, with 14,124 infections, including 3,956 deaths, reported to WHO, and where the operational architecture of the Ebola response went through three main iterations over a 22-month period.
