Capabilities Underlying the Objective Force
More
strategically
responsive
New way
of war
Technology
enabled
To execute preemption and crisis response over
strategic and operational distances, Army forces must
have lighter, more air- and sea- transportable
platforms and operate with less accompanying
support and sustainment.
To achieve increased mobility, lethality, and
survivability, Army forces will have -- in real time -dominant situational awareness and networked
weapons systems.
Advanced automotive, engineering and systems technologies will
enable Army forces to operate with a reduced logistics footprint
and reachback for critical capabilities.
Capabilities
based
To both counter and/or rapidly adapt to enemy asymmetries in combat
power, regardless of the nature, location or intensity of the conflict,
Army forces must provide the broadest possible array of capabilities
to the combatant commander.

CSA Guidance
Enhance strategic mobility &
deployability
Reduce the deployed
sustainment footprint and
replenishment demand
Reduce the cost of logistics
while maintaining capability
and readiness

The Army Vision
“Our goal is to be able to deploy
a combat-capable brigade
anywhere in the world within
96 hrs...”
“…a division on the ground
within 120 hrs, and five divisions
in 30 days.”
General Eric K. Shinseki

Ports of
Debarkation
• Minimal prep time required from alert to deploy
• More deployable with reduced tonnage
• Insert into austere theater through multiple unimproved entry points without relying on
fixed ports and staging bases
• UA deploys anywhere in the world in 96 hours after liftoff, a warfighting division on the
ground in 120 hours, and five divisions in theater in 30 days
• Operational maneuver from Strategic Distances
• Deploy by air, ground or sea in support of early and forcible entry operations
• Deploy for Immediate employment using vertical and horizontal maneuver without
undergoing reception and staging

Operational Maneuver from Strategic Distances
Objective Force Concept
• Objective Force deployments:
• Use multiple unimproved entry points to overcome anti-access measures,
achieve operational surprise or preemption, and conduct sequential and
simultaneous joint operations distributed throughout the battlespace
• Use multiple, parallel routes to increase force throughput and close gaps
between decision, early entry forces and campaign forces
• Rapidly deployable and tailored force capability packages to meet the JFC’s
requirements for any contingency
• Units capable of beginning operations immediately upon arrival (no RSOI)
• Reduced logistics footprint means faster force closure
• Objective Force units capable of conducting forcible entry against critical
objectives at any point in the campaign to assure access and set conditions for
decisive operations

Operational Maneuver from Strategic Distances
Lessons Learned
• Strategic lift capabilities require the use of improved APODs and SPODs, limiting
access and creating patterns of operations that are easy to interdict
• Deployment system not responsive to forward commander’s requirements:
• Combatant Commanders presented with limited options since current
strategic lift capabilities can deploy only light forces in a timely manner
• Incorrect sequencing of force flow during deployment provides incorrect
mix of forces and materiel at the time and place required
• Requirement to optimize strategic lift space outweighs need for unit tactical
integrity resulting in extended RSOI periods
• Requirement to transload aircraft at an ISB creates intransit visibility
problems for personnel and equipment flow and extends RSOI
• Current force structure and lift capabilities provide limited ability to conduct
operational maneuver (primarily dismounted forces)

Summary
TODAY
TOMORROW
• Incremental build of combat power. Four
interrelated segments
• Operational maneuver from strategic distances.
Deploy = Employ
• Alert/Train/Deploy
• Train/Alert/Deploy
• Lengthy TPFDD process
• Immediate data entry into DTS
• Lengthy task organization process with below
the line forces
• Prompt “as is” deploying modules with basic
load
• POD dependent/susceptible to anti-access
• Multiple entry points/bypass choke points
• Joint deconfliction
• Joint interdependence
• Large, layered organizations for deployment and
distribution gap between early entry and followon forces
• Agile teams with space-based persistent comms
for both deployment and distribution
• Uninterrupted deployment momentum
• Ammunition in theater
• Deploy with ammunition
• Iron mountain
• Distribution-based; intermodal (configured loads
for prompt force)
• Developed theaters
• All theaters

Key Objective Force Joint Messages
The Army is at War and Transforming
The Army brings a campaign quality to the Joint
Forces Commander for conflict resolution (When you
control the ground you make the rules)
The Objective Force is an integral component of the
Joint force and is Joint, interagency and multinational by design
Army Transformation is a revolutionary change in
the way we fight as part of a Joint Force
The Army is fully nested within DoD Transformation
1313
Our Nation’s Future
The Objective Force is the
Transformation of the entire United States Army …
the dedicated efforts of the entire
Army Team…the Joint community, our sister Services,
industry, academia, DoD, and Congress are ensuring
Transformation succeeds!
