CSA Strategic Vision

• Changes will require a ramping up of training for soldiers, so that all can be skilled in combat arms
• Commanders who previously dealt only with combat troops will now need to lead logistics and other supporting forces as well
• Today's engagements -- in Iraq, or indeed some future battlefield -- require rapidly deployable & lighter forces
• Create two prototype organizations now (Jan 04) by reorganizing the 3rd Infantry Division (Mechanized) and the 101st Air Assault Division
  • Brigade sized teams become the basic maneuver modules for Army forces
  • Joint Fires Control Teams (personnel from any service authorized to call for and deliver joint fires) organic down to platoon level (Army trained personnel authorized terminal guidance)
