US Army: Change in unit Formations/structure

Macgregor's online presentation on reforming the army.
quote:
On February 7, Vice Chief of Staff for the Army Gen. Daniel Allyn stated that only three of fifty-eight combat brigades in the U.S. Army were sufficiently trained for wartime deployment, blaming the condition on sequestration. It is not the lack of money, however, that is behind the army’s inability to maintain ready forces. Rather, it is the obsolete force structure the army has maintained since World War II.
quote:
Just four years earlier, then Army chief of staff Gen. Ray Odierno claimed that the United States only had two trained army brigades, also blaming the lack of readiness on sequestration. The army is by no means under a cash crunch with an annual budget of $148 billion..... more than the entire defense budgets for Russia, Germany and Japan combined.
quote:
In 2015, the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) established The National Commission on the Future of the Army and charged them by 2016 to make an assessment of the size and force structure of the future army. One of its key recommendations was that “Congress should require the Secretary of Defense and Joint Staff to oversee the modeling of alternative Army design and operational concepts—including the Reconnaissance Strike Group (RSG).” The RSG is an element of a larger army-wide transformation model designed by retired U.S. Army Col. Douglas Macgregor.
quote:
The RSG is a six-thousand-person all-arms, all-effects battle group that is “designed to lead change by exploiting new, but proven technologies in a joint, integrated operational context,” according to Macgregor’s online briefing. The Senate Armed Services Committee adopted the recommendation of the Army Commission and the 2017 NDAA ordered the creation of an RSG Office to model and assess the effectiveness of the new construct.
The RSG is organized within a comprehensive operational construct that synthesizes maneuver, strike, ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) and sustainment capabilities. Unlike current army formations, the RSG is a self-contained organization that is an all-arms, mobile armored combat formation commanded by a one-star general that has substantial striking power and greater survivability than current force units.

We need to make 18 year old men go into the military again and we wouldn't have all of these safe place pussies in college

Then we'd literally have an army of them. Basic training isn't a cure-all, especially for those that don't want to be there.

Looks like they are trying to form the Army similarly. Possibly so they can take some heat off the Marines.

I thought the purpose was to train reaction to orders and develop physical fitness? Basic training can only do so much. I knew plenty of shitheads in the army.

Well, it doesn't work. There are plenty of pussies in the Army.

Someone should be in prison for this. Not Club Fed either, something akin to Angola or Huntsville.

Lol. Army pleading poverty. Big surprise. Each of those other 55 brigades could deploy today and whip the shite out of any comparable adversary unit barely breaking a sweat.
