Civilian Military Divide

Dave Schechter

Senior National Editor

October 7th, 2011

"America doesn't know its military, and

the United States military doesn't know

America,”

Adm. Mike Mullen, the recently-

retired Chairman of the Joint Chiefs

of Staff

• Only 1 percent of Americans serve in the military

• Fewer than 8 percent of Americans are veterans (a fraction projected to grow

smaller in the coming years).

• Only one in five members of the U.S. Congress is a veteran, compared with

three of every four in 1969.

• In a 2010 survey, 92% of military family members surveyed agreed that the

general public doesn’t understand or appreciate the sacrifices made by service

members and their families.

The Army—Here From the Beginning

6

The purpose of the U.S. Army is to fight and win our Nation’s

wars. Warfighting is our primary mission. Everything that we do

should be grounded in this fundamental principle. It is imperative

that we be responsive to Combatant Commanders as part of the

Joint Force.

We do this by rapidly dominating any operational environment and

providing decisive results across a full range of missions.

Wounded Warriors

“The 1.1 million Soldiers who deployed to combat

during the past decade have demonstrated

remarkable courage, mental and physical

fortitude. In that time, U.S. Soldiers have earned

6 Medals of Honor, 24 Distinguished Service

Crosses, more than 600 Silver Stars and nearly

14,000 other awards for valor. Our

accomplishments in Iraq and Afghanistan have

come with an enormous cost, as more than

4,500 Soldiers have rendered the ultimate

sacrifice and almost 33,000 have returned as

Wounded Warriors. Through all of this adversity,

the courage and resilience of our Soldiers,

Civilians and Family members have

demonstrated repeatedly that our Army remains

the Strength of the Nation.”

Army Posture Statement

February 2012

19

Wounded Warriors

• “Going to combat with the 1st Cavalry Division is something I will always

remember . . . but the thing that I have done that has given me the most

satisfaction is to try to at least begin the process of eliminating the stigma

associated with behavioral-health issues,” he said.

• In 2010, about 200,000 soldiers sought mental-health counseling for

wounds such as post traumatic stress. “Everybody gasped, and I said that I

hope it goes up higher than that,” Chiarelli said. Last year, more than

280,000 soldiers received treatment or counseling from behavioral-health

specialists.

Vice Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army

Gen. Peter Chiarelli has pressed

harder than any other officer to

change the way soldiers view post-

traumatic stress and other mental-

health injuries.

Organizational Change

Halfway through largest organizational change since World War II.

Modular formations are more deployable, can be tailored, and are more versatile than older organizations.

Modular units have proven their power in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Essential for the Army to have the forces necessary to deal with an era of persistent conflict.

• Today we face another challenge -- a global financial crisis on top of

an already uncertain and increasingly complex environment. As all

of you are aware, the United States confronts a very large deficit

problem, and we also know that sustaining the strength of our

economy is a national security issue. Accordingly, in August, the

Budget Control Act was passed, which requires a $487 billion

reduction in DoD spending over the next ten years. And that has

been reflected in the latest plan that was submitted.

Challenges—Budget Crisis

Secretary of the Army

Challenges—Budget Crisis

30

Budget Crisis

31

Force Structure Reductions • “As recently announced, this

decreased end strength will result in at

least eight fewer Active Component

Brigade Combat Teams, going from 45

to 37. The first two BCT reductions

occur in Europe, where the 170th BCT

will inactivate in FY13, and the 172nd

Brigade Combat Team will inactivate in

FY14, both as they return from

deployments in Afghanistan. Decisions

on the remaining Brigade Combat

Team reductions have not yet been

made.”

Honorable John McHugh

Secretary of the Army

Remarks to the AUSA Winter Symposium

Orlando, Florida

24 February 2012

32

Personnel Reductions • “By FY17, the Army will decrease its

end strength from 570,000 to 490,000

in the Active Army. . . But it is not just

about the numbers themselves; it is

about reducing our end-strength over a

deliberate and gradual ramp.

• Why do I want this? This allows me to

ensure I can take care of our Soldiers

and Families and Department of Army

Civilians. . . ,can continue to meet our

contingency commitments, to include

Afghanistan. And we can remain

responsive for unforeseen

contingencies and facilitate reversibility

if necessary in this uncertain

environment.”

Pervasive Agility and Agile Fires

• Persistent Conflict in an age of uncertainty

• Agility as a strategic imperative

• Agility in the Abstract—defining agility

• Agility in action—Limited Agility

• Agility for the future—Pervasive agility

43

Nation’s Force for Decisive Action

Ready Today, Prepared for Tomorrow

• The Army is the national force for sustained,

decisive action, providing the Joint Force

depth, versatility, flexibility, and effective

operations across the spectrum of conflict

• Recent history and global trends demand a

versatile mix of capabilities, formations and

equipment that provide our national decision

makers flexibility across a range of

operations

• Readiness is non-negotiable. While it is clear

our Army will resize, whatever the size the

Army must remain highly trained and ready.

Our Army and our Nation can accept nothing

less.

• Critical to the way ahead is a modernization

plan that allows us to develop, field and

sustain equipment in a more responsible and

affordable manner.

Agility in the Abstract—Defining Agility

Agility: n. marked by a ready ability to move with

quick easy grace; having a quick, resourceful,

and adaptable character; nimbleness, dexterity.”

Merriam Webster Collegiate Dictionary,

10th Ed.,1994, 23.

Agility: ability of friendly forces to react faster than

the enemy and is a prerequisite for seizing and

holding the initiative. Agility is as “much a mental

as a physical quality.”

US Department of the Army, Field

Manual 100-5, Operations, June 1993, 2-7.

51

Agility in the Abstract—Defining Agility

A blended, comprehensive working definition of

agility:

Agility is marked by a ready ability to move with

quick easy grace; having a quick, resourceful,

and adaptable character; nimbleness, dexterity;

the ability to successfully effect, cope with,

and/or exploit changes in circumstances; agility

is comprised of component parts:

responsiveness, versatility, flexibility, resilience,

innovativeness, and adaptability.

Agility is about success, and winning. Losers

are not agile.

52

Agile, Adaptive Leaders

Our leaders, at all levels, must:

• Be competent in core tasks

• Able to operate across the full

range of missions

• Be effective in Joint, Interagency

and Combined environments

• Be culturally aware and astute

• Be courageous and able to

recognize opportunities

53

“History not used is nothing, for all intellectual life is action, like practical

life, and if you don't use the stuff well, it might as well be dead.”

Arnold J. Toynbee

Historian, NBC Television Broadcast

April 17, 1956

“Well, what happened was, we got our ass kicked. In the second half,

we just got our ass totally kicked. . . . The second half, we sucked. We

couldn’t stop the run. Every time they got the ball, they went down and

got points. . . . It was a horseshit performance in the second half.

Horseshit. I’m totally embarrassed and totally ashamed. Coaching did a

horrible job. The players did a horrible job. . . . It sucked. It stunk.”

Jim Mora,

Head Coach of the New Orleans Saints

October 1996

Agility in Action

54

“Essential elements of successful operations in Iraq included a keen

understanding of the situation, integration of all arms and joint

capabilities, the development and integration of indigenous forces, and

military support to governance and development. Most important was the

ability to adapt operations continuously as forces developed the situation

through action.”

Agility in Action

55

“Artillery has to be a versatile asset. The Army can no longer afford to

have artillerymen just do artillery missions.” Addressing the specific

requirements that the counterinsurgency environment placed on

artillery units, he continued: “Every one of my artillery battalions owned

battlespace. My FA battalions were just like my maneuver battalions.

That’s the kind of flexibility we need as we look to the future.”

General Raymond T. Odierno,

Field Artillery Journal, March-June 2004, 11.

Agility in Action—Operation Dirty Deeds

Agility is about success, and winning. Losers are not agile.

67

A—Attitude: Warrior Ethos with a Never-Quit attitude: Aggressive, adaptive, and relentless. We are the best battalion in the Army, and we

will commit to excellence. We will defeat complacency.

T—Troop Leading Procedures. The Leaders and Soldiers of the Deep Strike Battalion are masters of the Troop Leading Procedures. Platoon

Leaders and Platoon Sergeants will become experts on steps 1-7; step 8 is non-negotiable for every mission:

· Pre-combat checks and Pre-combat Inspections (based on METT-TC) to standard—every time

· Full dress rehearsal of actions on the objective—every time

· Rock drill rehearsal of battle drills (based on METT-TC)—every time

· AAR/Capture lessons learned—every action, every time

A—Accountability. Leaders will know the location of every Soldier under their command at all times. Battle Buddies—Battery commanders

will assign all Soldiers a Battle Buddy. Soldiers will know the status of their battle buddy at all times. Soldiers will never travel without their

Battle Buddy.

C—Communications. Every patrol/unit will have redundant communications means with their higher headquarters before leaving the FOB

or crossing the line of departure: FM/ASIP, MBITR, Harris Radio, SATCOM, Iridium phone, BFT, or other means. This is Non-negotiable.

Checks on all communications systems are part of PCC/PCIs—every time. No personal cell phones will be allowed off of the FOB. CREW

is non-negotiable; no patrol will depart the FOB without adequate CREW coverage.

M—Maintain. We will maintain ourselves and our equipment to a high state of readiness at all times. The Deep Strike Soldier is fit and

ready—physically, mentally, spiritually. Violations of General Order 1 (Drug and Alcohol use/Adultery and Sexual Harassment) will not be

overlooked or tolerated. We will maintain all assigned equipment IAW with the appropriate TM—M1151s, MRAPs, weapons,

communications, personal gear; our lives will depend on it.

S—Standards and Discipline. We will adhere to Army standards in every action; we will not just meet the standard; we will commit to

excellence and strive to exceed the standard. Uniform. Uniform standards established by the CSM for Garrison and Tactical Missions are

non-negotiable; our equipment will protect you from all threats, and leaders will ensure that it is worn properly at all times.

Deep Strike Flat Ass Rules

DISCIPLINE!

SUMMARY: SM has displayed outstanding individual Soldier discipline. This is a direct result of quality NCOs and a great 1SG being involved in all aspects of operations. fully understands the importance of discipline, it shows in everything; from TLPs to CP operations to simple uniformity through the entire unit. OBSERVATIONS: (+) PCC/PCI (+) vehicle load plans (+) Sleep tent dress right dress (+) Disciplined CP (+) Soldiers continually in uniforms (+) Motor pool organized (+) Military customs and courtesies (+) SOP Checklists utilized

Agility for the Future—Pervasive Agility

“Operational

adaptability, agility and

versatility—are not yet

institutionalized in our

doctrine and our

training—they do not

yet ‘pervade the force.’”

“Win, Learn, Focus,

Adapt, Win Again,”

Army Magazine, March

2011. 25.

70

Agility for the Future—Pervasive Agility

Emerging Doctrine: Unified Land Operations and The Operating

Concept describe an operational environment that will require an

Army that is agile and adaptable enough to execute decisive action

by means of complementary core competencies:

Combined arms maneuver (CAM), the application . . . of combat

power to achieve advantage over the enemy.

Wide area security (WAS), the application . . . of combat power

in coordination with other military and civilian capabilities to deny

the enemy positions of advantage, protect forces, populations,

infrastructure and activities and consolidate tactical and

operational gains to set conditions for achieving strategic and

policy goals. 11.

General Robert Cone, the commander of the Army

Training and Doctrine Command, wrote that the dual

core competencies of decisive action, combined arms

maneuver and wide area security, “capture the lessons

learned from our recent past and artfully blends them

with the broader precepts of warfighting.”

71

Setting Conditions for the Future

Expeditionary • Organized, trained and equipped for worldwide employment • Expeditionary mindset

Versatility • Central Organizing Principle • Multi-purpose forces • Balanced mix of capabilities

Interoperability • Unity of effort with partners • Building partner capacities • Interoperable mindset

Agility • Rapidly shift between tasks • Adapt to exploit opportunities • Agile units, minds, and institutions

Sustainability • Soldiers, DA Civilians and Families • RC as Operational Force • Rotational predictability

Lethality • Army’s core competency • Lethal precision • Precise non-lethal “fires”

An agile, disciplined Warrior Team,

dominant across the spectrum of 21st Century conflict
