UNCLASSIFIED/FOUO
 IAW 2012 Defense Planning Guidance (DPG) directing Army
reductions, the Army is reducing its Active Component endstrength by
80,000 Soldiers, from an FY2010 peak of 570,000 to 490,000 by the end of
FY2017.
 This reduction includes a reduction of at least 12 BCTs and the decision
to move to a 3-BN design.
 No force structure reductions in ARNG or USAR; RC BCT design will
match AC.
 Simultaneously, the Army will distribute and shape the remaining force to
enhance readiness, increase balance and flexibility, and meet the
requirements of the Nation’s Defense Strategy in a fiscally constrained
environment.
 The 80,000 Active Component reduction represents a 14% decrease from
570K in 2010 to 490K NLT 2017.
What The Army Announced
This announcement has nothing to do with BRAC or
the potential impacts of Sequestration

BCT Reorganization 2 vs 3 BN
Extensive Modeling, Analysis, and CDR Interviews. Significant analysis included using 34
vignettes, over 6,500 hours of simulated combat (ranging from 7 to 72 hrs of
operations), and extensive interviews with all the Army’s Division Commanders plus 23
combat veteran BCT Commanders.
Preserves combat power/Reduces HQs. This plan retains 33 AC BCTs with 95 combat
battalions, eliminating 12 HQs. Only 3 fewer battalions than the 45 BCT force (98
battalions), and 13 more than the un-reorganized 37 BCTs (82 battalions).
Hawaii, Alaska, and Italy will not receive a third maneuver battalion.
Increases Operational Capability. Reorganized BCTs with a third maneuver battalion, an
engineer battalion, and enhanced fires capabilities are more lethal with less overhead.
More capable BCTs to meet the New Defense Strategy. Analysis on future missions and
scenarios indicate that 33 AC and 28 ARNG BCTs is sufficient to support COCOM demands.
Minimizes cost (MILCON). The Army avoids almost all MILCON through internal BCT
installation reorganizations.
Reorganizing ARNG BCTs. The ARNG will begin reorganizing without growth by aligning 17
Tactical Combat Forces (infantry battalions) to 28 of their BCTs.

Notes de l'éditeur

  1. The Army is in a period of critical transition as the nation has concluded major combat operations in Iraq, assesses force requirements in Afghanistan and develops new strategy and doctrine for future conflicts. During this transition, the Army as part of the Department of Defense (DoD) must identify prudent measures to reduce spending without sacrificing critical operational capabilities necessary to implement national security and defense priorities. To help achieve mandated spending reductions, the Army is decreasing the current total number of Soldiers and civilians, while reorganizing the current force structure. The Army’s active duty end-strength will decline by 80,000 from an FY 2010 peak end strength of 570,000 to 490,000 by the end of FY 2017. The Army has announced reductions would include the inactivation of at least eight brigade combat teams (BCTs) from the current total of 45, of which the first two have been announced as coming from Europe (170th and 170nd). Other than the reductions in Europe, the Army is currently analyzing all the options available to achieve force structure changes and realignments, and no final decisions have been made at this time. ADDITIONAL BACKGROUND ON THE NUMBERS: In January 2011, the Secretary of Defense announced that the Army would move forward with a force reduction of 27,000 Soldiers from the Army’s FY 2012 end-strength of 562,000. The FY 2013 defense budget request called for a further reduction from the FY 2012 end-strength of 562,000 to 490,000. The 490,000 level in part reflects a $487 billion decrease in DoD funding over the next decade under the Budget Control Act of 2011.
  2. Mr. Franke’s comment on the last bullet: TCFs are a part of MEB operations and area security. Eliminating TCFs has an impact enabling Army doctrine.
