KEY TASKS FOR THE PROFESSION

UNCLASSIFIED4

Chief of Engineers Resiness PrioritiesBuilding and Maintaining Readiness of the Engineer Regiment

1. Be the recognized Engineer EXPERT of the Combined Arms Team: Develop combined arms experts who are innovative, adaptive, situationally aware leaders solving the most complex problems.

2. Shape the Operational Environment: To win in Decisive Action, U.S. forces must shape and control physical terrain. The degraded terrain shaping capability requires the reenergizing of Volcano, MICLIC and a Gator replacement.

3. Develop and Realize a feasible Combat Vehicle Modernization Plan: Divest M113 and replace with reset M2 ODS systems. Accelerate the JAB, synchronize the ACE plan, and complete fielding of the ABV.

4. Complete Force Design Updates: Move from single purpose to multiple capable organizations – complete four ARNG BEB conversions, complete Construction Company conversion, and Champion Combat Engineer Company (CEC) FDU.

5. Understand the BEB core competencies and tasks; violently execute as part of the Combined Arms Team: Provide integrated engineer support and critical combined arms activities for decisive action.

6. Transform EAB Engineer Training for the Total Force (AC/NG/USAR): Set conditions for Engineer Brigades to lead multi-compo units, support multicomponent exercises; Improve integration as part of the combined arms team.

7. Embrace the Engineer Profession: Develop competent, values based leaders (both military and civilian) who are disciplined, deployable, committed to self-development and are advocates for the Engineer Regiment.

8. Optimize Talent Management and develop Technical Expertise: Utilize and incorporate skills based policies, industry best practices, broadening assignments, and credentialing efforts to enhance the quality of the profession.

9. Revitalize Engineer Governance and Engagement in the Total Force: The diverse Engineer Regiment relies on a collaborative governance architecture to synchronize engineer efforts across the tri-component and the joint force.

10. Implement a Geospatial Transformation Plan: Establish a realistic plan which sustains the geospatial engineer mission to provide relevant geospatial support to the Army and the joint force.

11. Improve Joint Engineer Force Interoperability and Collaboration: Conduct capabilities based solutions utilizing the community of practice to resource, train, equip, and develop ready forces.

12. Support to Disaster Response: Resource and utilize multi-compo units to plan, train, execute mission command in support of disaster response operations with a total force engineer effort.

UNCLASSIFIED8

FM 3-0, October 2017

• Four Army strategic roles – shape the operational environment, prevent conflict, conducts large scale ground combat, and consolidates gains.

• Need to change Army culture by describing the operational environment and threat, emphasizing important roles of the EAB force, large scale combat operations.

• Focused on peer or near-peer adversaries (Russia, China, Iran, North Korea).

• Improving readiness to prevail in large scale ground combat against opponents w/ peer capabilities.

• Corps and divisions play a central role in large scale ground combat.

• US Army does not enjoy overwhelming advantages against every opponent we may be required to fight.

"Since 2003, seldom have units larger than a platoon been at risk of destruction by enemy forces, and no units faced enemy forces able to mass fires or maneuver large-scale forces effectively."

UNCLASSIFIED9

Multi Domain Operations (MDO)

Basic MDB premise:

• All domains will be contested!

• We will be able to achieve temporal superiority in key domains

• We must be able to fight degraded and win

Multi Domain Operations:

• Consistent with USAF and USMC concepts, “operations” will broaden the concept and gain concurrence across the joint force

• Must translate to radical effects and inform the strategic level of war

• Multi-domain battle seemed to be only limited to the conflict phase

They’re lighting their arrows on fire. Are they

allowed to do that?

Critiques:• Old wine, new bottle• Not joint• Limited by term “battle”

“Multi-Domain Battle served its purpose—it sparked thinking and debate and it created a foundation. But what we need now is Multi-Domain Operations, and the next revision of the concept to be released this fall will reflect this change. “GEN Stephen Townsend, 23 July 2018.

Night Court Observations

1. The Army is serious about fielding the top 6 priorities (NGCV, LRPF, Network, Vertical Lift, Soldier Lethality, Air and Missile Defense).

2. Small programs that don’t kill anything must be clearly articulated.3. Keep your quads updated and accurate!4. Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) can be a double-edged sword.5. Most of the Army programs of record are NOT in one of the Cross Functional Teams (CFTs).6. The CFTs have many dependencies.7. Programs may be developed but not fielded.8. This was not a one-time event.9. The Authorized Level of Organization (ALO) Army concept may not be dead.10. The Army is serious about fielding the top 6 priorities (NGCV, LRPF, Network, Vertical Lift, Soldier

Lethality, Air and Missile Defense).
