-176- An Operational Analysis of Cadre considered. This is a major drawback to foreign army training cadre units. Second, foreign training duties distract cadre leaders from their responsibilities as leaders of the cadre unit. Third, creating foreign training cadre units would require reorganizing the foreign army training program. 54 Lastly, like all other cadre units, assignments to foreign training units may not be attractive to officers. A major concern of many officers deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan as part of advisory units is that these assignments will hurt their chances of promotion. 55 This is an issue for all cadre units, but specific experiences with advisory units in Iraq and Afghanistan have shown that the Army is slow to adapt its promotion policies to new career paths. 3.2—CADRE WITHIN EXISTING FORCE STRUCTURE An alternative to maintaining separate cadre units is to maintain cadre unit leaders within the existing army organization. This type of cadre augmented force would maintain all the personnel needed to lead cadre units, but they would not be organized into separate units until a war occurred. In this type of force, cadre leaders could be maintained in a variety of different ways. This section explores four ways that we might maintain cadre leaders without maintaining separate cadre units in peacetime. 3.2.1—AC Units with Surplus Personnel (AC+) The first way we might maintain cadre leaders in peacetime without creating separate units is to assign surplus leaders to existing AC units. The cadre leaders would serve alongside AC unit leaders and would have opportunities to train and lead the junior ____________ 54 However, these changes would be no more significant than the proposal in Nagl (2007). 55 Tyson (2007)
-177- An Operational Analysis of Cadre personnel in the unit. 56 There are a number of advantages to this type of cadre unit. First, this type of unit alleviates, to some extent, the proficiency issues associated with maintenance cadre units since the cadre leaders would have greater opportunities to lead troops. Although there remain some issues of having redundant leadership positions, this option is better than isolated cadre units in which leaders have no chance to work with junior personnel. Second, this type of cadre force provides the army with greater personnel flexibility than any of the previous cadre structures. When requirements surge, army planners can decide how many cadre units they need and mobilize only those units by separating the associated cadre from their AC units. The leaders from non-mobilized cadre units would either remain attached to their AC units or be available to fill open slots in other AC or RC units. This type of cadre unit has two disadvantages. First, dispersed assignments prevent cadre leaders from getting together to plan for the mobilization of their unit. However, it could be arranged so that these leaders would meet periodically to go through planning exercises to alleviate this problem. 57 Second, cadre leaders may fight with existing AC leaders for leadership assignments in the AC unit they are assigned to. This might distract both AC and cadre leaders from their duties. To avoid this problem, the Army may wish to create clear guidelines for the roles and responsibilities of primary active duty leaders and their cadre counterparts. ____________ 56 The Army would need to be clear about designating a primary (AC) and secondary leader (cadre). The primary leader would get the majority of the training opportunities, but some should be set aside for the secondary leader. 57 They could also utilize inexpensive communications technologies to “meet” and perform their planning exercises without physically being in the same location.
