Army Force Structure
and Stationing
171300RNOV148 of 18

The purpose of today’s session is:
 Explain what the Army is doing and the process that will be
used to reach stationing decisions.
 Listen to your input and carry that input back to the Senior
Leadership of the Army – before any final decisions are made.
The Army’s Leadership recognizes the significant contributions our
communities have made on behalf of our Soldiers and Families.
These will be very difficult decisions.
Purpose
171300RNOV149 of 18

 What the Army has done so far.
 What the Army is doing, and why.
 The Army’s process.
 What the Army is considering for decisions.
 What do you want the Army’s Senior Leadership to
understand about your community and installation?
Agenda
171300RNOV1410 of 18

What The Army Announced in 2013
 Driven by the 2011 Budget Control Act and 2012 Defense Guidance, the
Army announced it would reduce Active Component (AC) end- strength from
570K to 490K and reduce AC Brigade Combat Teams (BCTs) from 45 to 32.
 Impacts of these reductions were substantially lowered at U.S. installations
through the elimination of unstructured end-strength, reduction of Europe-
based structure, and BCT reorganization.
 Over 50K – well more than half – of the prior 80K AC Soldier reductions were
achieved through the elimination of the Temporary End Strength Increase
(22K) and Wartime Allowance (10K), and reductions to Europe (11.3K) and
the number of trainees, transients, holdees and students (7.3K).
 BCT reorganization allowed realignment of most of an inactivating BCT’s
structure into the remaining BCTs on an installation.
 Factors that reduced socio-economic impacts of the reductions announced
in June 2013 are no longer present as the Army reduces below 490K.

What The Army Is Doing And Why
 The Army faces an extremely difficult fiscal environment, with its portion
of Budget Control Act/sequester cuts estimated at ~$95B over 10 years.
 Failing to maintain the proper balance between end-strength, readiness
and modernization will result in a “hollow” Army.
 As outlined in the 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review, the Army will:
– Continue to reduce its AC end-strength from a war-time peak of 570,000 to 440,000-450,000
by the end of FY2017. This is a cumulative reduction of 120,000 Soldiers (21%).
– If sequestration level cuts are imposed in FY2016 and beyond, end-strength would be
further reduced to 420,000 Soldiers by FY2019. This is a cumulative loss of 150,000
Soldiers (26%).
 Timely end-strength reductions and structure adjustments in all Army
components are necessary to shape a force that can best meet defense
strategic requirements within constrained funding.

Supplemental Programmatic
Environmental Assessment (SPEA)
 Reductions of the magnitude described in the 2014 Quadrennial Defense
Review exceed those assessed in the 2013 Programmatic Environmental
Assessment.
 The 2013 Programmatic Environmental Assessment did not assess
reductions that would result from full Budget Control Act/sequester-level
funding cuts.
 The further reduction from 490K to 420K results in a cumulative reduction
that is approximately twice the size of the overall reduction assessed in
the 2013 Programmatic Environmental Assessment, and the installation
reductions in the Supplemental Programmatic Environmental Assessment
are generally double those assessed in 2013.
171300RNOV1413 of 18

Supplemental Programmatic
Environmental Assessment (SPEA) Cont.
 The Army evaluated the largest possible losses at each installation to
provide flexibility and to prepare for potential decisions under a full
Budget Control Act/sequester scenario.
 The anticipated end-strength reductions and associated socio-economic
impacts are expected to be greater than those experienced in the
reduction to 490K and will impact most Army installations due to the
absence of available mitigating measures.
