Informing the Army’s Future Structure - CAMO Discussion

[McG]

When creating or reshaping units & formations the first step, before even writing doctrine to describe the organization, is to define why the organization will exist - what is its purpose.

Function Before Structure: Why Do Brigades Exist? - Modern War Institute

The Army fields three brigade combat team types—armored, Stryker, and mobile. But it has not actually defined why they exist. In an era of technological innovation and rapidly changing battlefield […]

Have we done that with all the new or evolved CAMO structures? I can’t explain the purpose of a combat support brigade.

[Gordon Dundas/]

Aren't you glad we use electrons now as opposed to paper. That memo alone if distributed on paper en masse would have deluded entire forests.

 

[Infanteer]

Have we done that with all the new or evolved CAMO structures? I can’t explain the purpose of a combat support brigade.

Force generates divisional level combat support elements. Commands operations in the divisional rear area. Establishes the Rear Area Command Post.

 

[PrairieFella]

And there it is. It will certainly be weird to no linger beling to the "Army of the West". Reform is needed but man I have a sneaking suspicion this will just reinforce silos. Hopefully not.

 

[McG]

Force generates divisional level combat support elements. Commands operations in the divisional rear area. Establishes the Rear Area Command Post.

But is that a purpose, or are those tasks? Tasks that were thrown to it because it existed and we were invested if finding something for it to do? Tasks that will bifurcate its areas of interest & of influence on the battlefield. Split between combat support inclusive of forward areas, and land owner of the rear area. And which of the competing tasks is the priority towards which the brigade is designed?

If one of those tasks could be the formation’s purpose, which would it be?

 

[Kirkhill]

Flyshyte and pepper time

Preferred presentation order

Division
Div HQ
Div Sigs
Sustainment Bde
Support Bde
Fires Bde
Light Regiment
Mech Brigades

Organized from most important to least important.

Yes you are trying to generate combat capabilities but it is easier to man and train and expand them than any and all of the enablers.

 

[dapaterson]

How out of character for the army! Good to see the staff work being done properly!

Can we post someone from the Army HQ to the Navy HQ and get them to make their NCM ranks legal?

on paper this is great, but I see 6 Svc BN coming to being, and 1st logistics battalion (1st maint battalion is coming later), however we have still not seen an legislative changes to actually expand our man power to man these organizations. hopefully thats solved in the fall sitting, but until authorized many of these organizations will be place holder shells.

The PY cap is executive, not legislative.

It doesn't need a legislative change. An order in council should do. NDA s15(2) & (4)

(2) The maximum numbers of officers and non-commissioned members in the regular force shall be as authorized by the Governor in Council, and the regular force shall include such units and other elements as are embodied therein.

(4) The maximum numbers of officers and non-commissioned members in the reserve force shall be as authorized by the Governor in Council, and the reserve force shall include such units and other elements as are embodied therein.

Besides - maybe they'll pull a few thousand PYs out of Ottawa.

Fair enough

On a related note, with all the ARes now under a single division, budget wise, we will be able to see just how committed they are to having a capable reserve force.
