The Future Squad – Army 2020<br />
“Only when the members of the squad are thinking jointly on one problem<br />
Fort Benning, Home may of the they Soldiers, properly Leaders, be called a and squad.” Families GEN from Depuy, the Best 11 Men Army 1 Mind, in the March World! 1958<br />
Fort Benning, Home of the MCOE<br />
Why the squad…<br />
•The contemporary operating environment (COE) forces us to fight as dismounted squads.<br />
•The squad is the centerpiece of the tactical fight and will remain so in the future.<br />
• Squads operate under mission command but decentralized from higher HQ.<br />
Required Capabilities of a Squad…<br />
• Overmatch enabled through improvements to:<br />
• <strong>Network</strong>, Mobility, Protection, Lethality, Power Generation, Training & Leader Dev.<br />
Currently operations at the squad level are too much of a fair fight…we must achieve<br />
OVERMATCH to attain decisive victory in the future.<br />
Taking a New Approach…<br />
• Bottom up review, start from the squad formation and work upwards.<br />
• Review Measures of Formation Effectiveness (MoFE) across all domains of DOTMLPF.<br />
• Evaluate squad performance as a collective formation, not as individual Soldiers or kit.<br />

How AEWE Differs from NIE<br />
AEWE NIE<br />
• AEWE is the live experimentation component of the ARCIC<br />
Campaign Plan-- Army’s premier live, prototype experiment.<br />
• AEWE conducts aggressive prototype experimentation<br />
with emerging technologies and concepts related to the<br />
Soldier and small units.<br />
-- Provides operational, DOTMLPF focused insights to<br />
support and accelerate the Army’s S&T development efforts.<br />
-- Provide Soldier feedback early in the development cycle.<br />
• Conducted for the benefit of capability developers across<br />
the Army S&T community, the Centers of Excellence, and<br />
<strong>Industry</strong>.<br />
• Provides operational assessments for Squad, Foundation of<br />
the Decisive Force and Technology Enhanced Capability<br />
Demonstrations (TECDs).<br />

• NIE conducts field test and assessment of network, nonnetwork,<br />
and other DOTMLPF capability solutions in support<br />
of the Army’s incremental approach to modernization.<br />
• Three network capability solution types evaluated at NIE:<br />
-- Type 1. Acquisition Programs [Systems Under Test<br />
(SUTs)]: Capabilities ready for formal testing to inform an<br />
acquisition decision.<br />
-- Type 2: Developing Capabilities [Systems Under<br />
Evaluation (SUEs)]: Theater Provided Equipment (TPE), rapid<br />
equipping initiatives to satisfy ONS/JUONs, or existing<br />
acquisition programs with sufficient maturity levels to<br />
accelerate.<br />
-- Type 3: Emerging Capabilities SUEs: Next generation<br />
war-fighting technologies that have the potential to fill a<br />
known gap or improve current capabilities.<br />

Focus Areas<br />
Counter Defilade Target Engagement<br />
Fort Benning, Home of the MCoE<br />
• Small Arms Capabilities Based Assessment (SA CBA) Approved 2 April 2008. #1<br />
capability need identified: Warfighters lack the ability to achieve desired accuracy<br />
and incapacitating effects against personnel targets in defilade at ranges from 15<br />
to 500m, SA CBA identified Counter Defilade air-bursting capability as best<br />
approach for mitigating the need associated with engaging threat targets in<br />
defilade<br />
• Ongoing Forward Operational Assessments (OEF)<br />
-September 2010 to present<br />
• System undergoing improvements for Reliability, Ergonomics and Accuracy<br />
Maneuver Center of Excellence - Team of Soldiers, Families, and Civilians from the Best Army in the World!<br />

Focus Areas<br />
Enhanced Night Vision Goggles (ENVG)<br />
Fort Benning, Home of the Soldiers, Leaders, and Families from the Best Army in the World!<br />
Fort Benning, Home of the MCoE<br />
• The ENVG provides Soldiers the ability to engage and execute close combat,<br />
combat support, and combat service support operations in all light levels, adverse<br />
weather, and battlefield obscurant conditions<br />
• Currently replaces the AN/PVS-7/14 Night Vision Goggle for specified Soldiers<br />
(current BOIP calls for 22 per Rifle Platoon)<br />
• ENVG fuses image intensification (I²) and long wave infrared imagery into a single,<br />
integrated image<br />
• ENVG will most likely be the head mounted display for the FWS integration of<br />
wireless Rapid Target Acquisition (RTA)<br />
• Future increments of ENVG must be smaller and lighter, include latest power<br />
saving technologies, and provide better resolution with increased range<br />
51

Focus Areas<br />
Family of Weapon Sights<br />
• FWS is not “Just Another” Weapon Sight program<br />
Fort Benning, Home of the MCoE<br />
• HQDA approved the FWS Capability Development Document 4 Oct 2011<br />
• Materiel Developer will develop FWS as three variants: Individual, Crew Served, and<br />
Sniper<br />
• FWS is a key component of the “Squad: Foundation of the Decisive Force" initiative<br />
providing integrated mobility and targeting sensor technology that greatly increases<br />
situational awareness and lethality for the Squad<br />
• FWS replaces the Thermal Weapons Sight (TWS) for key members of the Infantry<br />
Squad; thereby expanding overall night vision and targeting capability for the Soldier<br />
• Key attributes of the FWS: Rapid Target Acquisition (wireless connection between<br />
goggles and weapon sight); Clip-on sights for all three variants; Disturbed Reticle<br />
with ballistic solution for crew served weapons; Digitally Fused Imagery with Low<br />
Light Level and thermal sensors<br />
• FWS will take advantage of the latest power saving technologies<br />
Maneuver Center of Excellence - Team of Soldiers, Families, and Civilians from the Best Army in the World!<br />
55
Focus Areas<br />
Integrated Protection Initiative<br />
Fort Benning, Home of the Soldiers, Leaders, and Families from the Best Army in the World!<br />
Fort Benning, Home of the MCoE<br />
• Ground and aerial persistent surveillance capabilities enhance Situational<br />
Awareness in urban and complex terrain<br />
• Organic sensor to shooter capability links Maneuver sensors through a target<br />
coordinate mensuration capability to enable Small Unit Commanders to employ<br />
coordinate seeking munitions in restrictive ROE<br />
• We need help improving our target detection capabilities so Small Unit<br />
Commanders can respond to threat activities before Soldiers become decisively<br />
engaged<br />
• We need to increase our precision munition capabilities so Small Unit<br />
Commanders can minimize response times, limit collateral damage and change<br />
the way the threat operates<br />
56
Focus Areas<br />
Individual Assault Munitions<br />
Fort Benning, Home of the MCoE<br />
• Increased lethality and survivability in close combat against a series of threat sets<br />
• Decreased Collateral Damage<br />
• Target defeat (90% Ph) at a 15-400m range from a 0-60° angle of obliquity<br />
• Incapacitate threat personnel protected by urban structures and walls<br />
• Increased Lethality<br />
-Defeat or result in a mobility kill of lightly armored vehicles and incapacitate the<br />
occupants<br />
• The materiel solution must also be optimized at a reduced weight to not negatively<br />
affect Soldier load<br />
Maneuver Center of Excellence - Team of Soldiers, Families, and Civilians from the Best Army in the World!<br />
57
Focus Areas<br />
Soldier Protection System<br />
Fort Benning, Home of the MCoE<br />
• A Soldier Protection System (SPS) Capability Development Document (CDD) is<br />
currently in one star staffing. The SPS CDD serves as the overarching document<br />
that will incrementally provide the Soldier a personal protective system that allows<br />
him or her to tailor his or her loads for mission specific operations, thereby<br />
increasing survivability and mobility<br />
• The SPS will provide the Soldier multiple levels of ballistic protection that can be<br />
tailored to select mission profiles and protection against specific threats from<br />
conventional fragmenting munitions, small arms ammunition and blunt impact<br />
• The SPS will be designed to reduce Soldier load and includes vital torso (front,<br />
back and side ballistic plates), torso (soft armor), head (eye, hearing and<br />
maxillofacial protection) and upper and lower extremities<br />
• Specific focus and emphasis on Extremity and Pelvic protection<br />

Focus Areas<br />
Fort Benning, Home of the MCoE<br />
Drop Zone Assembly and Navigation Aid (DZANA)<br />
• Enhances the ability for units to rapidly locate, recover equipment (bundles, heavy<br />
drop, etc) and assemble rapidly on the Drop Zone (DZ)<br />
• Current assembly techniques used by Airborne Units such as Stiner Aids, Strobe<br />
Lights and Chem-Lights result in slow and unreliable assembly<br />
• The Airborne community is seeking a system that provides navigation assistance<br />
and quicker DZ assembly aide for every Paratrooper conducting an airborne<br />
assault<br />
Maneuver Center of Excellence - Team of Soldiers, Families, and Civilians from the Best Army in the World!<br />
59
Focus Areas<br />
Close Combat Missile Systems<br />
Fort Benning, Home of the MCoE<br />
• Our existing close combat missile systems provide highly responsive organic<br />
precision fire capabilities to engage and destroy threats where collateral damage<br />
potential is very high<br />
• We need to modernize our missile inventory to provide increased stand-off against<br />
threat weapons, leverage advanced seeker technologies, improve portability for<br />
Soldier load, and provide the multi-target capability<br />
• We need to modernize our Target Acquisition Systems so Soldiers can rapidly<br />
acquire and collaboratively share actionable targeting information, expand fields of<br />
fire, and support engagement by multiple geographically dispersed organic<br />
systems or external fire support assets<br />

Our acquisition environment…<br />
Fort Benning, Home of the MCoE<br />
10 years at war, no money…. it’s time to think (Churchill knockoff)<br />
If our past is indicative of the future…<br />
How do we prepare for the unknown? Adaptive, flexible, creative leaders with<br />
critical thinking skills.<br />
Our present acquisition process favors material solutions<br />
STRAP removal, stuff in the CONEX<br />
Non-system TADSS lack support (DSTS, GfT)<br />
How do we change the process or the focus?<br />
How do we stay ahead of “the requirement”?<br />
How do we “see” what we don’t know? (mobile devices, cloud)<br />
Should we consider renting capabilities putting the onus on industry?<br />
Rapid acquisition works for materiel, how about training systems/products?<br />
How do we shape good acquisition behavior (fire and forget)?<br />
How do we identify good ideas, and bite-sized solutions (ILL)?<br />
What level of control do we need (bureaucracy vs Wal-Mart)?<br />

MCoE Blended Training<br />
Applies to All Training Domains for the Maneuver Force<br />
Fort Benning, Home of the MCoE<br />
• Simulations are required to train enabler employment, information<br />
fusion, and to overcome constraints: resources, availability, and safety<br />
• Train gunnery, marksmanship & maneuver on simulations that use<br />
common parts (AoA could impact the live/virtual mix)<br />
• Train, wargame, and rehearse with the full array of weapons & combat<br />
multipliers/enablers using gated blended (LVC&G) approach<br />
• Integrate new training and rehearsal systems as they are fielded<br />
• Train across the full range of military operations<br />
• Progressive in training intensity<br />
• Build training into all systems (append/embed)<br />
• Priority to the Squad: Foundation of the Decisive Force and the AoA<br />

MCoE Observations (from the TSSR)<br />
Fort Benning, Home of the MCoE<br />
• Current investment efforts fall short: future investment strategies must include training and<br />
leader development (STRAP not recognized as a JCIDS document)<br />
- A blended LVC&G Training strategy is essential to ensure BCT readiness (TSS enablers)<br />
- To ensure the correct level of funding requires Senior Leader involvement<br />
- Revisit current materiel solutions (JCIDS) to assess adequacy of training<br />
• Formation based Capability Portfolio Reviews vice System Reviews with DA<br />
- Assesses DOTMLPF across the EE and TT PEGs<br />
- The MCoE/TRADOC supports Formation CPRs across formations as a better way to<br />
look at investments across DOTMLPF<br />
• Systems versus Non-Systems TADSS<br />

The Avatar: Endstate<br />
Fort Benning, Home of the MCoE<br />
An Avatar is a two or three dimensional graphical object that depicts a Soldier,<br />
reflecting one’s physical, tactical and training attributes and or characteristics in<br />
an immersive (or semi-immersive) training environment. The development of an<br />
avatar within selected Army gaming tools is envisioned as a potential method of<br />
replicating any operational environment to include the vast array of blue and<br />
green force enablers required to support the range of military operations in order to<br />
improve individual and leader development during individual and collective<br />
training. The linkage of personal and or unit attributes through training records and<br />
training management systems to Avatar performance could serve as a motivational<br />
tool to draw Soldiers and Leaders into the immersive environment allowing<br />
progressively complex tasks and missions to be war-gamed, rehearsed or executed.<br />

Gaming Comments<br />
Fort Benning, Home of the MCoE<br />
• Realism is not ALWAYS better if complexity outweighs objectives<br />
• Motivation is a key component to player engagement (so what works?)<br />
• We need “open architectures” to accept upgrades at low cost and not<br />
require us to discard what has already been created<br />
• Validation and accreditation for games is critical… bring metrics, (MOE’s,<br />
MOP’s) and measurement process to your demos<br />
• Yes, we have infrastructure, bandwidth and security accreditation issues<br />
to be resolved<br />
• We are breaching the generational divide…Senior Leaders see the<br />
benefits of gaming<br />

Why is “Embedded Training”<br />
so important?<br />
• It is appended or embedded<br />
• Enables training while Soldiers are deployed<br />
Fort Benning, Home of the MCoE<br />
• Facilitates mission rehearsal without the need for special equipment<br />
• Increases the utility of existing combat equipment<br />
• Saves money by giving equipment both a combat and training function<br />
and reduces contract support<br />
• Mimics the operational environment (geography, culture, tactical<br />
adaptations)<br />
• Supports home-station training by bringing training opportunities to<br />
locations traditionally not equipped for training or ground maneuver<br />
space<br />

IBCT’s<br />
Distinguishing Characteristics<br />
Fort Benning, Home of the MCoE<br />
The IBCT’s strategic deployability and ability to<br />
gain and maintain dismounted tactical overmatch<br />
in complex terrain are the distinguishing<br />
characteristics that will separate it from other<br />
functional brigades and brigade combat teams.<br />
Maneuver Center of Excellence - Team of Soldiers, Families, and Civilians from the Best Army in the World! 105
IBCT Tiered Capabilities Concept<br />
Tier 1<br />
(Most Austere)<br />
How Does the IBCT Use the MRAP?<br />
IBCTs are designed to be rapidly deployable and equipped/organized<br />
primarily for dismounted unified land operations in complex terrain<br />
(urban, jungle, forest, mountains). IBCTs use the different capabilities<br />
when METT-TC require their use IAW the tiered capability concept<br />
shown below; Tier 1 (most austere) to Tier 3 (most robust)… build<br />
capability over time.<br />
Dismounted Operations in Complex,<br />
Restrictive Terrain. Greatest risk<br />
acceptance.<br />
Example: Combined Arms Maneuver<br />
such as Forced Entry Operations in<br />
complex terrain, Airborne and Air<br />
Assault operations, Search and Attack.<br />
Fort Benning, Home of the MCoE<br />
Tier 2 Tier 3<br />
Operations with Armored, Mechanized,<br />
or Wheeled Forces.<br />
Example: Air-land Vehicles, Convoy<br />
Link-up. Company CoPs in OEF. Wide<br />
Area Security.<br />
(Most Robust)<br />
Operations from Secure Forward<br />
Operating Base (FOB).<br />
Example: Well established presence<br />
and long term occupation. Additional<br />
equipment with contractors to sustain<br />
it.<br />

Near-term Focus Areas<br />
(1-5 Yrs)<br />
Fort Benning, Home of the MCoE<br />
• Organizations. Sustain planned improvements to the IBCT’s organization resulting in a third<br />
Infantry Battalion, a composite Fires Battalion, a Brigade Engineer Battalion, and additional<br />
intelligence assets.<br />
• Training/Leader Development. Invest in training and leader development to support a growing<br />
contingency pool in ARFORGEN process. Execute Squad – Foundation of the Decisive Force<br />
investment strategy.<br />
-- Improve NCOES.<br />
-- Increase Ranger School output for Infantry/Recon SGTs/SSGs.<br />
-- Improve home-station capability to conduct ULO through blended L, V, C, & G.<br />
-- Insure small unit collective training is grounded in the basics of marksmanship, first aid, physical<br />
fitness, and battle drills predominately in a live training context.<br />
• Modernization:<br />
-- Ensure that the IBCTs ability to conduct joint entry operations, forcible or unopposed from<br />
strategic distances is not compromised by modernization efforts that make it less deployable.<br />
-- Ensure that modernization efforts continue to provide platoons and squads dismounted tactical<br />
overmatch to perform their primary function to close with and destroy the enemy.<br />

HBCT Mission<br />
Fort Benning, Home of the MCoE<br />
The HBCT’s Core Mission is to disrupt or destroy enemy military<br />
forces, control land areas including populations and resources, and be<br />
prepared to conduct combat operations to protect U.S. national interests.<br />
The HBCT is able to fight without augmentation, but can be tailored to<br />
meet the precise mission needs. HBCTs conduct expeditionary deployment<br />
and integrate the efforts of the Army with military and civilian, joint and<br />
multinational partners<br />
118
Near Term Focus<br />
Fort Benning, Home of the MCoE<br />
• Continue to support <strong>Network</strong> integration while assisting in development of nearterm<br />
system solutions and SNE challenges.<br />
• Improve the HBCT’s organization by adding a third Infantry Battalion, a 3x6 Fires<br />
Battalion, a Brigade Engineer Battalion, and additional intelligence assets.<br />
• Develop adaptive and agile leaders and Soldiers, instilled with the Warrior ethos,<br />
which possess an in-depth experience level gained from combat experience,<br />
institutional, and home station training. Improve their ability to plan, coordinate, and<br />
conduct training for Decisive Actions at home station.<br />
• Develop technologies that identify hazards and provide autonomous protection for<br />
Soldiers and vehicles.<br />
• Ensure that ECP and Modernization efforts continue to provide SWAP margins and<br />
tactical overmatch.<br />
• Fully Embedded Training capabilities to integrate into a robust Live, Virtual,<br />
Constructive training environment.<br />
119
BFSB Mission<br />
Fort Benning, Home of the MCoE<br />
The BFSB conducts reconnaissance and surveillance<br />
operations (including MI discipline collection) to answer<br />
division, corps, or joint force PIR and other intelligence<br />
requirements, enabling the commander to focus joint<br />
elements of combat power. The BFSB also provides assets to<br />
enhance the reconnaissance and surveillance capability of<br />
other brigades, including BCTs, and, when directed, produces<br />
intelligence for its supported higher headquarters.<br />
The BFSB is a unique multifunctional maneuver brigade with<br />
a wide array of capabilities primarily designed to answer<br />
priority intelligence requirements (PIR) for echelons above<br />
brigade.<br />
