-37- A Budgetary Analysis of Cadre 2. CADRE COST/RISK TRADEOFFS This chapter calculates the changes in costs and military risk from moving to a cadre augmented force. We consider a number of different cadre augmented force structures to provide a broad picture of the cost-risk tradeoffs from a cadre augmented force. This chapter relies upon the assumptions outlined in Chapter One. These assumptions are relaxed incrementally in Chapters Three through Seven. The first section of this chapter calculates the difference in cost and risk from increasing the size of the Army with cadre units instead of AC units. The second section calculates the change in annual cost and risk from altering the mix of the Army as it will be in 2011 to include cadre units. The third section considers alternative measures of military risk. The final section calculates the size of the cost savings from cadre relative to the total cost of the Army and presents other reform proposals that achieve cost savings of the same magnitude as those from a cadre force. 2.1—EXPANDING THE FORCE In January of 2007, President George W. Bush announced he was going to increase the size of the active Army by six BCTs. 22 The purpose of this expansion was to increase dwell time 23 for units deploying in support of the Global War on Terror (GWOT). 24 The ____________ 22 Sherman and Roque (2007), Department of Defense (2007b,c) 23 Dwell time is used throughout this dissertation to describe the amount of time a unit is home between deployments. This is a term commonly used by the Army. 24 “The extra 65,000 soldiers and 27,000 Marines, due to be added by 2012, will increase time at home for units between deployments … Army Gen. Peter J. Schoomaker, Army Chief of Staff, and Marine Gen. James T. Conway, commandant of the Marine Corps, told the Senate Armed Services Committee.” [Wood (2007)]
