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

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
  Armys 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)
