This ongoing transform ation already is having a positi ve impact on the Army, reli eving pressure on frequent ly deployed units by ex panding the available force pool. Another positive impact is that the transformati on also mandates a standard set of force structures, organi zed and equipped to be interchangeable. To ac hi eve this, the Army has shifted from a fo rce designed around the division­ level formation to one built around the bri gade combat team-level formation. The capabil ities of the va ri ous new, brigade-level format ions - armor, infantry, airborne, air assault and Stryker - will be easier to package to accomplish spe­ cific missions. Moreover, the conversion to mod­ ul ar forces ensures greater flex ibility, and it is already enhancing FORSCOM's ability to deploy trained and ready forces quickly.
