TOP LINE MESSAGES STRATEGIC THEME: READINESS OPR: TRADOC DATE: 1 AUGUST 2017 • U.S. supremacy is increasingly contested in the land, air, maritime, space, and cyberspace domains and electromagnetic spectrum as rivals innovate and leverage technology. • Army forces must possess the capabilities and be prepared to fight across multiple domains and through contested areas, to deter potential adversaries, and should deterrence fail, rapidly defeat them. • To advance the proven idea of combined arms, Multi-Domain Battle requires forces from each Service to possess cross-domain capabilities, while retaining overmatch within their own domain. SUMMARY Multi-Domain Battle describes an approach for military operations against a sophisticated peer enemy threat that can contest U.S. forces in all domains and challenge U.S. deterrence in the 2025-2040 timeframe. In Multi-Domain Battle, U.S. forces converge capabilities to create temporary windows of domain superiority to deter, counter, and defeat peer rivals on a complex battlefield.

“Whatever overmatch we enjoyed militarily for the last 70 years is closing quickly, and the United States will be, in fact we already are, challenged in every domain of warfare, space, cyber, maritime, air, and of course land.” – Gen. Mark A. Milley, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army
TOP LINE MESSAGES STRATEGIC THEME: RESOURCES OPR: G-8 DATE: 1 AUGUST 2017 • The world has changed: the overmatch our Army has enjoyed for the last 70 years is closing quickly across all domains of warfare. • After accounting for inflation, the Army’s buying power in 2018 will be 60 percent of what it was in 2009 for modernization and equipment – $26.8B request for FY18 compared to $45.4B in FY09 (FY18 dollars). • The Army is ready / postured to modernize key equipment with “shovel ready” programs. “Shovel ready” programs can easily receive more money to deliver capabilities faster.
SUMMARY The Army is behind on modernization. The good news is that we have sustained many programs to upgrade weapon systems, which make the programs effectively “shovel ready” – with increased money we can quickly increase delivery of required capabilities.

Return to Top UNCLASSIFIED//FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY RESOURCING THE ARMY “Combat is very unforgiving and it's even more unforgiving on armies that are not manned, trained, equipped or well led and the cumulative effect of persistent and destructive budget instability is increasing risk not only for the Army, but for the nation.” – Gen. Mark A. Milley, Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army (Jun 7, 2017 SAC-D Hearing)
TOP LINE MESSAGES STRATEGIC THEME: POLICY OPR: ASA(FM&C) Army Budget DATE: 1 AUGUST 2017 • The Army requires sufficient and predictable funding to sustain readiness for the current fight and to prepare our Army for the future fight. • Absent additional legislation, Budget Control Act funding levels will return and significantly reduce FY18 authorized funding. This level of funding will have a catastrophic impact to Army readiness that would take years to recover. • The FY18 Army Budget request supports the Secretary of Defense’s three phased approach for restoring America’s military: 1) improve warfighter readiness, 2) achieve program balance, 3) increase lethality.
SUMMARY The Army FY18 budget request improves warfighter readiness and begins to strike a balance between the 1.018M end strength, current readiness and modernization while maintaining its counter-terrorism / counter-insurgency competencies and improving the Army’s decisive action capability.

“It's up to Soldiers to help bridge the military-civilian divide. Conventional wisdom dictates that because [fewer than] 1% of Americans serve in the military, the cultural divide between troops and civilians is the worst it's ever been.” – Gen. Mark A. Milley, Chief of Staff of the Army
TOP LINE MESSAGES STRATEGIC THEME: PEOPLE OPR: OCPA DATE: 1 AUGUST 2017 • The cultural divide between the Army and the Nation it protects is the widest it has ever been. The Army must introduce the American people to Soldiers to close this gap. • Fewer than 1% of Americans choose to serve in the military and 79% of Soldiers come from families that have served in the military. • Meet Your Army is an effects based program that delivers Army strategic messengers and representatives to create a deeper understanding of and connection to the Army in areas where our Nation has limited awareness of their Army.
