CSA Strategic Vision

• Make every soldier a rifleman: The support troops in the new brigades will have to be more versatile as soldiers
  • Where under the current structure troops have completed basic training then gone immediately into their specialized fields of logistics, etc., the new structure will require a higher level of combat proficiency from each soldier
  • Draws on the traditions of the Marine Corps, where every soldier is an Infantryman first, and on his own experience in the Special Forces, where every member of a 12-man "A" team is a special operator first, and a communications expert or medic second
• CSA is putting into wider practice the analysis that smaller units make better and faster combat forces, which are better suited for the conflicts of our age, than do bigger, lumbering Cold War-style units
• Reorganization increases the mixture of weapons and functions at a lower level of the force
