18. Facing Pages

19. Adapting Army Structure
(Facing Page)
• The Army is divesting Cold War structure to enable GWOT capability
• Multi-phase process over the length of the POM
– AC/RC rebalancing for changes in Defense Strategy, Force Sizing Construct and
GWOT challenges
– RC High Demand conversions to deployment mitigate stress
– Creation of a Trainees, Transients, Holdees & Students (TTHS) for RC – to improve unit
personnel readiness
– All deployable AC units to ALO 1 – improving unit readiness by ensuring organizations
have the soldiers necessary to accomplish their war-time missions
– Reduce stress on current, High Demand AC units – improving overall depth in AC
structure to meet anticipated, long-term High Demand requirements (SFG, CA, PSYOP,
MP)
– 100% deployable units – accomplished through force stabilization and leveraged
changes to force structure, as required

• Reduces Warfight Operational Risk • Greater capabilities for GWOT • Forward postured for rapid response
• Restores strategic flexibility for GWOT • Reduces warfight Operational Risk • Fully supports 1:3 rotational posture
• Allow re-establishment of DRB • Strategic Flex for Contingencies • Operating Force depth to meet CPG
• Combat Forces < 1:3 rotation ratio • Allows Army to build Modular Bdes required capabilities

Costs include Equipping, Training, Manpower,
Sustainment, Base Operations Facilities, etc.

21. Force Restructure
(Facing Page)
• Trainees, Transients, Holdees and Students (TTHS)
– Creates an 81K account in the reserve component by reducing the over
structure and investing those personnel into the TTHS account
• End state
– AC/RC force structure… “Relevant and Ready”

22. Force Structure Construct
(Facing Page)
• The “Iceberg” chart graphically depicts the Army’s
Force Sizing methodology
– The “tip of the Iceberg” reflects the requirement for
responsive, expeditionary forces, both AC and RC, to
support the Joint Force Commander and provide the
immediate response capabilities necessary to defend the
Homeland
– The center portion of the chart reflects the requirement
for AC and RC structure to provide the depth necessary
to support a Campaign quality Army
– The Generating Force reflects the Institutional portion of
the Army that Organizes, Trains, Equips, Mans, Deploys,
Supplies, Services, Mobilizes, Demobilizes, Administers,
and Maintains the Army (Title 10 functions)
