CSA Strategic Vision
Main elements of CSA reorganization
- Increase the number of brigades
- Take the Army's 33 maneuver brigades and spread their personnel across 48 brigades
- Push support roles down to the brigade level
- Take the support brigades -- those that do artillery, supply and maintenance, for the most part -- and sprinkle their personnel across the 48 as well
- New “brigade based” structure will replace the current arrangement, designed for the Cold War when the Army was prepared to fight giant set-piece battles on European soil, where the support roles were organized at the division level
- Improve the deployment ratio so that there can be two brigades at home for every one deployed overseas
