Overview of Current Challenges

• Army moving into the most comprehensive
  restructuring since WWII
• USACE is planning to execute 40 Billion of
  MILCON Construction from 2006 2011
• At FLW alone, our construction placement will
  increase from about 40 Million a year to over
  200 Million a year through FY 08 and FY 09

10
Overview of Current Challenges

• The army is transforming and has immediate needs
  that must be met to support BRAC and the GTA
  Programs as well as re-stationing initiatives
• The recently released Army Stationing Plan, for
  example, will add approximately 74K new Soldiers
  to the Army over the next 2-4 years
• This plan will also add 6 new BCTs and 8 new MEBs
  which will be disbursed at various posts across
  the country
• This plan also re-stations units formerly
  stationed overseas to CONUS military bases
• FLW for example is receiving approximately 3,000
  plus additional trainees this summer through the
  TRAPS program and is also receiving a FORSCOM MEB
  in October
• Creates Need for additional Barracks Bed Space,
  family housing, dining facilities, etc)
• Creates Need for additional infrastructure
  (sewage, water, phone lines, roads, training
  ranges, parking, etc to support influx of
  personnel)

11
Overview of Current Challenges

• The GWOT has created several unique demands
• USACE oversees massive construction programs
  supporting OIF and OEF through the GRD and AED
• On the home front, the army is also involved in
  improving living conditions and programs for
  soldiers and families to take care of them and
  improve retention rates (Examples improving
  housing, post facilities, Warrior in Transition
  Units, etc)

12
Overview of Current Challenges

• To support these and many other programs, the
  army has a need for USACE to deliver projects
  faster and cheaper with more sustainable designs
  and without diminishing quality
• In order to stay relevant in meeting the Armys
  needs, USACE is itself transforming and thinking
  outside of the box and changing its systems and
  ways of doing business
• MILCON Transformation
• At the local level, we are also doing a lot to
  stay relevant and meet our immediate customers
  needs and expectations
