IN THEIR WORDS – (07 OCT) AUSA Panel: Improving ARFORGEN – Gaining a Common Framework for RESET
Posted by tradoclive in ARFORGEN, Leader Development on October 7th, 2009
The Army must focus on the roles, responsibilities, and strategies to assure a common framework for more effectively integrating and synchronizing RESET across the Core Enterprise (CE) functions with ARFORGEN.
LTG David Valcourt, Deputy Commanding General & Chief of Staff, represented TRADOC. In his words:
“You don’t separate the Soldier from his family unless you absolutely must. We must enrich home station training with existing training resources.”
“Right now we are manned and structured for resident training. We owe it to the operational forces to bring that training to home station as much as we can to protect dwell [time]. When you bring your car to the dealership you expect it to be serviced to standard. So we want to bring the dealership to where you park the car and to give you the same service, to standard. And there is the challenge. We are going to maintain professional military education (PME), we are going continue to resource and deliver home station mobile training teams (MTT) to the best of our ability. And we have to ask, what is it that (units) want, is it more MTTs and less PME (institutional training)? We’re looking at that balance.”
IN THEIR WORDS – (06 OCT) AUSA Panel: Adapting Our Institutions-The Enterprise Approach to ARFORGEN
Posted by tradoclive in ARFORGEN, Human Capital Core Enterprise, Uncategorized on October 7th, 2009
The Army is taking an Enterprise approach to restore the balance between the Operating Force and the Generating Force. This approach is resulting in an Army culture, organizations, systems and processes that will more effectively and efficiently generate trained, ready and modernized forces to conduct full spectrum operations in an era of persistent conflict, while preserving the all volunteer force. The Enterprise approach is designed to empower senior leaders to integrate related functions to provide these forces for combatant commanders.
GEN Martin Dempsey, Commanding General, represented TRADOC. In his words:
“[From an Enterprise perspective] the real issue is understanding the problem we seek to address from an enterprise perspective, understanding second and third order effects at our level.”
“The Army Enterprise Board has been useful in dealing with big issues that impact the major Army Commands. And it’s not about the governance – that will fall in place along the way.”
IN THEIR WORDS – (05 OCT) AUSA Panel: Army Modernization Post FCS
Posted by tradoclive in ARFORGEN, Future Capabilities Integration, Uncategorized on October 6th, 2009
The Army’s Modernization Strategy defines the resource-informed balance of capabilities required to win the current fight while ensuring the versatility to adapt to the future operational environment. As the Army’s lead for concepts and DOTMLPF integration, TRADOC will continue to provide the blueprint for a balanced and versatile force using incremental delivery of key technologies fully synchronized to the Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN) process.
LTG Michael Vane, Deputy Commanding General, Futures Director, Army Capabilities Integration Center (ARCIC), represented TRADOC. In his words:
“We’re planning on [advances in] technology, but not creating a single dependency on technology for a complex solution.”
“Strategy and risk assessments must drive procurement, not the other way around. Buy less, but more often.”
“Capability packages [will come] in two year increments.”
