But we’re getting to the end where there’s just not a lot of growth margin left on the systems and in many cases we’re really being – we’re forced. So I commend the Army for doing that, recognizing that. So welcome back to Washington with cold rain. It helped us restore readiness levels where we have almost half of our brigade combat teams at the highest level of readiness, where we’re at about just under two – around two or three before that two years ago. And we talked about that a little bit in, you know, the first question. “The Army Strategy describes the strategic environment and the lines of effort we will pursue to achieve the Army Vision by 2028,” they write. It’s being challenged by near-peer competitors. We’ve found a lot of success there. Where we’ve had challenges over the last 25 years, I would say a lack of focus on the threat. Please join me in thanking our speakers for taking the time out today. So we’re going to have those folks up here a lot over the course of this year – the rest of this year. They had never gone to war with that doctrine but, you know, training, training, training and understanding the doctrine. There’s a domestic audience that we’ve got to convince. So what do you think should – in your opinion, what will the – especially with your background, what do you think the future of the rifle squad is, especially given emerging technologies? But it did highlight the fact that we’re all over the place. Rep Anthony Brown: And, you know, I can’t count the number of hours studying, you know, our air/land battle on the principles of agility, initiative, depth and synchronization to defend Europe against the tank columns coming through the Fulda Gap. We’ll give you the –. So it’s greatly appreciated both in the House and in the Senate. Ryan D. Mccarthy: With that, it’s really a national effort more so than just above the Army, and how the leadership of the department looking at a lot of it – the authorities, the policies associated with that. We moved 80 percent of our S&T budgets against six modernization priorities: long-range precision fires, next-generation combat vehicle, future vertical lift, network, integrated air and missile defense, and soldier lethality. We missed by 6,500 people in the active force. Mark F. Cancian: Yeah. Rep Anthony Brown: You know, when you look at recruiting, enlistment, commissions in the Army, and perhaps the same can be said in the other service components, you know, you see multigenerational enlistments, right? We’re very privileged to have distinguished public servants joining us and Army veterans. All the service chiefs have talked a lot about this new environment that we’re moving into. Mark F. Cancian: Well, thank you very much. And that was just the point that he was making. Ryan D. Mccarthy: Yeah. So we’re looking, as the undersecretary mentioned, at greater use of, you know, Reserve and National Guard units, and how we can recruit into those units to support the effort. Rep Anthony Brown: So on the one hand, you know, there’s an excitement and a need for speed. Investing in low Earth orbit satellite architecture as well as, you know, the NEO and GEO. And the National Security Strategy speaks not only to a lethal, capable, modern, ready, you know, well-equipped, well-manned force – military force – but it speaks in specificity, if not necessarily in great detail, to the need to invest in infrastructure, in vocational colleges and training, in apprenticeships, investments to diversify our energy portfolio to achieve even greater energy security, and although not necessarily going into the causes of climate change, it makes – it references climate change. A very different demand on the armed forces than what they’ve experienced for the last 25 years, since the end of the Cold War. So giving the mission command out to the field and letting them have the latitude of how to communicate who we are, and our values are touching millions of people. Senator Durbin and Mayor Emmanuel in Chicago. So you can never – it never ceases to amaze me, the entrepreneurial nature, the strength and leadership of our noncommissioned officer corps. The Department of Defense has been probably, you know, on the leading edge at looking at climate change and what we need to do for infrastructure resiliency, the things that we can do for greater operational effectiveness and security by incorporating renewable energy into equipping both the Army, the Navy, the force. OK, the gentleman in the back there, who seemed to have his hand up pretty quickly. We’ve been blessed with a lot of support, but it will take a lot of communication and a lot of effort going across the river to meet with Congress, but also with the defense industry. We’re having difficulty with our THAAD ballistic defense missile units, Patriot units, where you need a higher caliber soldier with higher aptitude for learning. Ryan D. Mccarthy: So these choices that were made – which has been affectionately referred to as “night court” because the Army staff has a sense of humor – but that process was where Secretary Esper and General Milley – General McConville and I kind of sat at the end of the table; it was almost like a – that show “Shark Tank” – and we made all the leaders in the Army come in and present every line item in the budget all spring and summer. We believe we’re doing that with Army Futures Command. It’s not a recruitment program. And then going in to recruit in the cities. Ryan D. Mccarthy: Army cyber, it really has – it’s remarkable. That’s an expensive proposition but it is a domain where the near-peers are making vast investments and we will have to make some adjustments to our architecture so that we can maintain the dominance that we’ve enjoyed for a very long time. Mark F. Cancian: (In progress) – cold and rainy morning. The Army Strategy describes the strategic environment and the lines of effort the Army will pursue to achieve the Army Vision by 2028. This may cause economic dislocation or challenges. But we’re having difficulties in filling the additional cyber units that we’re fielding, and electronic warfare units. Mark F. Cancian: And with that, let me turn the floor over to Secretary McCarthy. We look forward to explaining it in more detail. But if we can’t get them where they need to be with what they need, then that squad is not going to be as effective as it ought to be. They are task organized against a problem set. You know, it’s a very distributed combatant command in the Indo-Pacific versus what we would face, say in Europe. So we’ve got to step up that effort. We’re going from a, you know, counterterrorism, counterinsurgency fight in Iraq and Afghanistan. But we developed that branch and the singular focus. And through the Army Futures Command and the modernization program, the close relationship between the Futures Command and TRADOC, and going from full spectrum operations doctrine to multidomain operations – we’ll do the same thing. The ARSOF Capabilities and Programming Guidance, Force Modernization Strategy, and annual EXORDs … But the challenges is expensive. I was with Admiral Davidson yesterday – or, day before. We’re at an inflection point. The propensity to serve in the United States is about 11 percent. Q: And then, lastly, is the space age technology. But we’re going to have to grow through that. But it’s taking – it just takes a lot of leadership and a lot of communication. Mark F. Cancian: (In progress) – cold and rainy morning. Changes happen frequently, and with all the advances coming out so rapidly, the NCO Corps needed to develop an enduring and flexible strategy that can lead us into the future.” Mark F. Cancian: But that has to move down into the organization and, frankly, change a lot of bad habits that we have grown into as a result of our experiences in the last 25 years. I graduated from the first class in the aviation branch in 1984. We’ve reduced our end strength goal effective immediately in FY ’19 and across the FYDP to 2,000 year over year, because we want to maintain quality and still be able to grow because, as I mentioned earlier about demand, it’s not going to go away anytime soon. We know they’re there, and we certainly have constructive knowledge because, you know, the department reports to us, you know, every month where we are and what we’re doing. And then I came back six years later and the Army was either at par or exceeding them. So I’m excited about the Army Futures Command. Rep Anthony Brown: First of all, let me say that I – while the Army has not met its recruitment goals, and you’ve made adjustments, I want to commend the Army for not lowering its standards in order to meet the number. we’re operating at a real disadvantage. On March 27, the U.S. Army published Army Air and Missile Defense 2028, a new report detailing the service's air and missile defense strategy over the coming decade. Rep Anthony Brown: Let me – if I can, let me take up – try at that second question about alliances and partners, and, I mean, that’s an important line of effort in the National Defense Strategy – strengthening our alliances and partnerships – and when you look at Europe there are a number of aspects to that. We’re trying to be very transparent with industry, but we know that it’s necessary so we can finance the Army that we need. They’re empowered. Right now, we have upwards of 30,000 personnel in Europe. And the push-pull between a weapons system and this operating model is going to help us make those adjustments to force structure and others as we progress. Rep Anthony Brown: So there are – there are a variety of action items that are outlined in the National Security Strategy. Join the CSIS Missile Defense Project for a discussion on the report, the Army's priorities, and expected future developments. Our main effort to support Army’s mission achievement is transforming Army’s Training System and our workforce. So how can we leverage you know, that expertise, that experience, and without being able to wholesale take them from the private sector at least get them on a part-time basis? These things take time, but in the moves we made in FY ’18 from a modernization standpoint we primed the pump. That we have to make a cultural shift to just how we do modernization. We’re in the process of building our third. So it was – it was a lot of moves made over the last six years. Leaders must understand the strategic environment, By 2028, in Multi-Domain Operations — as part of the Joint force, Army Strategy is to counter a near-peer adversary which is capable of competition in all domains. So thanks. You know, et cetera. Thank you. ESOH STRATEGY 2025 5 what kind of Army the Nation will need for the future. And we trained for it. What role do you see for them – that is, bringing business into the infrastructure and support operations to the department – in this 10-year period we’re now talking about? Ryan D. Mccarthy: So your challenge is it’s very expensive to defend networks that are very distributed in the size and scale of an institution that’s the size of a country. But as it takes time as you move across a FYDP, a five-year horizon – Future Years Defense Plan – what you’ll see is the pipes really start to open and we start to finance our efforts with much greater scale because we’ll be buying tranches of capability, and ultimately full unit fielding by the ’22, ’23, ’24 timeframe. Army 2020 Refine is the implementation of the Government’s Strategic Defence and Security Review (SDSR) commitments. Rep Anthony Brown: And I think polling shows today that the more appealing approach – and it’s hard for me to accept this – it’s less about patriotism and the nobility of the service, which is why I entered, and it really is more about opportunities. So that greater situational awareness could change the rationale of why would you need 10, would you need eight, would you need less. We published a modernization strategy that we sent to Congress. As the moderator, then I’ll ask some questions to look at some particular issues, then we’ll open it up for Q&A. On his iPhone he just did a video. The Army Modernization Strategy aims to counter Russia by 2028 and China by 2035 — but Congress can’t pass a budget for this year. The big five weapons systems in our formation – the Chinook and Black Hawk helicopters, the Bradley Fighting Vehicle, the M1 Abrams, the Patriot air missile defense – they’re all over 40 years old. Rep Anthony Brown: You know, I know it was probably a misstatement a year or two ago when unfortunately soldiers were killed in Niger and Africa and sort of, you know, America asked the question: Wow, 7,000, 9,000 soldiers in Africa? I like the fact that we’re developing these security force assistance brigades, so that we’re not – we’re not drawing on conventional forces or SOF to develop those – you know, the capacity with our allies and partners. Ryan D. Mccarthy: So readiness gets roughly half to almost 60 percent of the funding in the Army budget. And then at the – afterwards we’ll have a press gaggle here off to the side. Q: So my question is how do the U.S. Army, in terms of a National Defense Strategy – comprehensive strategy – and how would funding fit in in the strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats assessment of the U.S. Army and the U.S. military? We have made a vast investment with the Integrated Visual Augmentation System, which is – we started out where we were looking at how could we enhance our night-vision goggles. A lot of it’ll come down to the capabilities we bring to the unit. If you were to go anywhere in the Army and talk to battalion commanders, they sound like the chief. Through this program aptly called the Army Transformation Roadmap (ATR), the Army envisions itself to be “a world-class Army that is a source of national pride” by 2028. And I know you got through the traffic coming from your home district here on recess, but thanks for coming, sir. In your opinion, what should the rifle squad of the future look like? It costs billions of dollars all over the world, and there’s just that – the touch of just how much influence do we need and how much can we afford. And there’s a variety of factors associated with that. Ryan D. Mccarthy: Mark, thank you. Mark F. Cancian: And one last question. THE ARMY MEDICINE VISION – our future end state – is: Army Medicine of 2028 is . When you read the National Defense Strategy, it clearly comes down on the side of capability. So funding is a big part of the support of getting readiness levels to be restored. Rep Anthony Brown: But we can’t ever get too far from the lessons that we learn and we’re learning a lesson about military housing – we’ve learned other lessons about public-private partnerships – to incorporate those in any future partnerships that we – that we participate in. The United States is actively engaged in those discussions. I’m a firefighter. ARMY TRANSFORMATION ROADMAP FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS 1. Sometimes the department talks about that in terms of capacity versus capability. You have to apply that to an operating model that will be effective, and then pick the right technologies that are mature enough to fold into the weapons system. (Laughter.) When I left the department the last time, in 2011, the Air Force was really – it was remarkable how much focus, emphasis, and resources. They defend the football. Some of these were substantial cuts, north of 90 programs across the entire defense program – Army defense program, but there were also terminations. Before SDSR 15, Defence policy required an army designed for an enduring operation at the brigade level; new policy demands that we are able to field a modernised division, capable of fighting as the principal output of the Army. We brought the firm in and did about a hundred-day study. We’re ahead of where we’ve been in Portland, Los Angeles, New York City – in cities where we have not performed well in the last several years. And a lot of that came because of the interference with elections and how, you know, other nations were – the constant attacks that we endure every day from cyber bad actors, if you will. Q: My question is, when I think of the National Defense Strategy, there’s the land-water-air space and there’s also you mentioned the near-peers and the peers. And it’s a capability that all the combatant commanders want, because within this little taskforce you’ve got electronic warfare, long-range precision fires, attack lift capability – attacking lift capability, where it will be a different structure than a brigade combat team. I apologize. We’ll pass over the fact that the panel is … Mark F. Cancian: The gentleman in the back there on the end. Mark F. Cancian: I have to turn my mic on. We hired an outside firm to help us with microtargeting so that we can go look at a geographic zip code, understand the demographics, how to communicate with them, and if necessary find the specific things about us as an institution, how to articulate that to a 17- and 24-year-old able-bodied American that could join the Army. Rep Anthony Brown: So, again, it’s great to be here. Event Schedule 2:00-3:00 Conversation with Colonel Chad D. Skaggs, Chief, Air and Army Vision: By 2028, a world-class Army that is a source of national pride Army Core Purpose: Serving the people, securing the land 4 a) The performance of a strategic measure is rated RED if it was only able to attain less than 75% of the set target; b) A strategic measure will be rated YELLOW if it was able to attain between 75 My grandmother was one. Particularly you see generational commitments and participation. Ryan D. Mccarthy: We are changing our operating model to multidomain operations, which is basically air-land-sea battle, but you have to apply cyberspace and the space dimensions. We have to be as best stewards as we can with the funding that we’ve been afforded, and we’re trying to do that. They have invested a great deal in modernization, and it’s really a wakeup call that we need to do the same so that near-peers don’t become peers, and that the overmatch that they have in some areas doesn’t become an overmatch across the board. The Army must place a … And it will be till at least, you know, ’20, ’22, ’23 timeframe where we can get in the upwards of two-thirds of our brigade combat teams at the highest level of readiness. You’ve got to – you need to talk to young people about what this means in terms of a job, and a career, and professional reward and satisfaction, developing a skill and, you know, whether it’s a technical skill or leadership, and what that means for you, whether you decide that you’re only doing one enlistment, four years, whatever the minimum enlistment is these days, or whether you’re going to make a career. Operational Environments to 2028: The Strategic Environment for Unified Land Operations 4 Through 2028, the Army will face many unique OEs and simultaneous decisive action operations will be the norm within these environments. These people are in high demand and they get paid really well in the private sector. Creating a robust pipeline of new talent into the Total Army is our main effort through 2028 because it will ensure that we have the breadth and depth of talent needed for the MDO-capable force of 2035 envisioned by the Army Strategy. Sign up to receive The Evening, a daily brief on the news, events, and people shaping the world of international affairs. We had an opportunity to work together on a number of issues in different venues or up at Aberdeen Proving Ground looking at upgrades to Army and on the – on the Stryker. But I’m confident that we are going to fund it at appropriate levels. We’re looking at challenges in the future with declining or – potentially declining, but flat budgets in the out years. Tremendous advancements in cyber, electronic warfare, precision fires, ground combat vehicles. But I would pay very close attention to the multidomain taskforces. One of the models that we looked at that was working effectively at that time was military housing. The lady up front here. People, politics and a pandemic are amplifying and accelerating the impact of advancing technology and tensions between states and other groups. On the development side, not so strong. We continue to make the investments in readiness, along with the effort to identify programs that might be obsolete and unnecessary. We’re very privileged to have distinguished public servants joining us and Army veterans. The U.S. Marines, for example, have been experimenting with having a rifle squad that has 12 members and 14 members. It’s a civics program. So the modernization strategy we delivered over a year ago this time will have a lot about this operating model and how we intend to do business. You know, our – I think our superiority is in the – is in the quality soldier that we recruit, we train, and we retain. But we’re doing things very differently. So that has, you know, really forced the energy and attention against that. But I think there will be adjustments to the force structure. We’ll either exit the building from the front or to the rear. Ryan D. Mccarthy: And why that’s important is 60 percent of requirements worldwide for combatant commanders are met by U.S. Army. It’s what they’re spending it on and, you know, and whether it’s – you know, not every – not every European nation has to be able to, you know, field the F-35, and we’ve got to be looking at interoperability, what’s the – what’s the right mix of capabilities that each nation can bring to the fight. The multidomain taskforces will be the pathfinder to help us understand and make adjustments. We look at where our standing is in the world, we’re still number one but in many cases the technological margin that we’ve enjoyed – the overmatch of our weapons systems – is being reduced. Harmon, deputy to the MEDCoE commanding general, provided welcome and opening remarks for the recent Army Medicine Modernization 2028 Strategy SYNCH, hosted by the, Rep Anthony Brown: And so are they making the investments in infrastructure? You’ve seen cuts to the State Department. So how do we do it differently, more effectively, encrypting the data and protecting it. As a former infantryman, I’ll try not to get emotional or parochial here. emergent crises while we execute this strategy through 2028. But on the other hand, you know, let’s not – let’s make sure that we continue to be deliberate and methodical so that we are delivering what the warfighter really needs. And now in fiscal ’20, which we unveiled just a – you know, almost two weeks ago, we found over $30 billion over this five-year horizon where we realigned the funding against our priorities. But this has really been a journey for the Army for the last two years. And it’s very similar because we’ve been here before. And the results are starting to trickle in. Rep Anthony Brown: – category, greater flexibility so that we can be more competitive in recruiting in a – in a very high-demand skillset: computer science engineers, cyber warriors. Ryan D. Mccarthy: But coupled with that, I believe, as General Milley and then former Commander of FORSCOM General Abrams, laser focus on all of the metrics that are necessary to get units trained and ready to go. We intend to fly it before we buy it. Just often like you see the same thing in firefighters, right? And we were now pivoting back to the Cold War threat of the Soviet Union. Looking forward to the – to the discussion for the next few minutes that we’re together. So, you know, I’m confident we’ll have bipartisan support for this modernization program as we build a more lethal force, which is, you know, one of the lines of effort in the National Defense Strategy. And they helped us improve leads by 10 percent within the first hundred days. (Laughter.) We’re at 4 percent in Chicago. Ah, now you can all hear me. Ryan D. Mccarthy: But in order to do that, it’s bringing the requirements community and that acquisitions community much closer together. combat. Where we’ve – when we’ve done it well historically within the Department of Defense, the technology helps us and the operating concept helps the technology of making the tradeoffs of the choices of what ultimately will be the structure you need to go into a fight. And do we really need to have such a strong military presence around the world, or should we be investing more in our diplomatic efforts? Ryan D. Mccarthy: So we have our FY ’20 submittal got up to the Hill. Rep Anthony Brown: Let me – let me just point out two sort of findings and recommendations that the GAO recently made that are, you know, kind of cautionary, and I am pleased to say that they’ve been shared with the Department of Defense, Department of the Army, and that they’ve been, you know, accepted and will be worked on, and one is that, you know, we have seen over the last several years a decline in the development community – the requirements-writing community in the Army – and Army Futures Command is going to have to address that – fewer people doing this important work.
