Our Army at War – Relevant and Ready…

Today and Tomorrow

A Game Plan for Advancing Army Objectives in FY05 and Beyond:


Thinking Strategically

COL Mark D. Rocke/DACS-ZDV-EOH/Mark.Rocke@US.Army.Mil/703-697-3920/28October2005 1


Why a Game Plan?

• Situation:
➨ The Army has a great deal of requirements prescribed by National, Defense,
Combatant Command, and Joint directives.
➨ We have clear strategic direction developed during the past year.
 A well articulated, well managed Army Campaign Plan.
 Numerous authoritative documents that communicate intent.
 Several key papers by leaders (e.g., Adapt or Die and Serving a Nation at War).
➨ We have several key documents in various stages of development:
 The Army Plan (i.e.., Section I -- Army Strategic Planning Guidance (ASPG))
 Program Objective Memorandum 06-11
 The FY 06 Legislative Agenda (DRAFT)
 Army Strategic Communications Plan (DRAFT)

• Mission:
➨ We have a mission of deadly importance …
➨ A unique opportunity to get it right …
COL Mark D. Rocke/DACS-ZDV-EOH/Mark.Rocke@US.Army.Mil/703-697-3920/28October2005 2
What is its Purpose?

• Reaffirm our overarching strategic goal and broad strategic direction.


• Provide a common perspective of our operating environment, in terms
of challenges, uncertainties, and opportunities.
• Stimulate thinking, initiative, and creativity with respect to the
application of strategic leadership to deal with key challenges we face.
• Provide a context to focus our strategic communications to achieve the
following effects:
➨ Externally … to maintain support for our programs.

➨ Internally … to address the concerns of Soldiers, families, and the civilian workforce
and explain why and how the Army is changing.

• Add impetus to our ongoing efforts to change our culture … to reflect


the realities of our new operating context.

A/SA, 2 September: “make it compelling … focus on big ideas … big challenges … “

COL Mark D. Rocke/DACS-ZDV-EOH/Mark.Rocke@US.Army.Mil/703-697-3920/28October2005 3


CSA Guidance: How To Make It Most Useful

• Key Ideas:
➨ Get in everyone's mind what the purpose of the document is ...
➨ Focus on genuinely strategic issues …
➨ Stay broad ... people want certainty ... don't make promises you can't deliver ...
➨ Create realistic expectations that match our operating environment …
➨ Emphasize the importance of changing culture …

• Culture:
➨ Need to reinforce role of leadership and adaptability …
➨ Need to unleash initiative …
➨ Need to increase tolerance of ambiguity, uncertainty ...
➨ Change frame of reference ... move beyond Task, Conditions, and Standards …
➨ Must reinforce development of a wartime mindset …

CSA, 2 September: “to articulate intent … and ensure unity of effort in achieving that intent …”

COL Mark D. Rocke/DACS-ZDV-EOH/Mark.Rocke@US.Army.Mil/703-697-3920/28October2005 4

assessments and studies

Focusing Effort: - Amidst adversity, a range of opportunities is clearly evident. We must capitalize on these opportunities in the strategy development and resourcing processes.
- Strengthen relationships and communication with other Services, Congress, the American public, and our primary customers: the Combatant Commanders and the Joint Team.

Managing Sources of Risk: - Risks do exist in this strategic environment, especially with regard to an uncooperative and adaptive enemy, finite resources, and our pace of operations.
- Clearly, if we lose support for resourcing our programs, or must deploy organizations unexpectedly, we will have to adjust the path of our restructuring.

Creating the Future: - Our Nation and our Army are engaged in a protracted Global War on Terrorism.
• How can we apply the lessons we have learned, at all levels, to improve performance?
• What decisions could we have made earlier?
• What should we be thinking about now?

Managing Sources of Risk
• Tension between preparing for the future and meeting the demands of
the present, with finite resources, requires the Army to balance the
risk.
• The pace of operations, in an uncertain environment, is creating
distinct challenges that require careful management to sustain our
ability to achieve our strategic requirements.
➨Supplemental support required to continue Army Transformation while winning Global War
on Terrorism. Reduction or end of this funding would have significant implications for
procurement and soldier programs.
➨The operational fleet’s condition and age affecting current readiness. Increased depot
repair and recapitalization will be required to ensure our fleet is maintained and fully
capable.
➨The Army is focusing resources on promising technologies and rapidly spiraling
these into the current force to enhance their capabilities. Our investment accounts may
require additional funding to maintain technological overmatch and ensure the
development and fielding of the Future Force.
➨Global Posture and Base Realignment and Closure related initiatives have not been
programmed. Army will need $2.7B in Departmental assistance to comply with these
decisions.

• Identifying and mitigating risks associated with fulfilling current and


future strategic commitments, will ensure the Army remains relevant
COL Mark D. Rocke/DACS-ZDV-EOH/Mark.Rocke@US.Army.Mil/703-697-3920/28October2005 8
Creating the Future
• We have an ambitious task ahead.
• Success requires us to exploit the strategic opportunity that has been placed
before us.
• We must leverage this period of increased activity, operations, and
examination of basing alternatives – the window of opportunity that has
emerged – to build a campaign quality Army with joint and expeditionary
capabilities now, while sustaining operational support to combatant
commanders, and maintaining the quality of the All-Volunteer force.
• As busy as we are today, we must continue to focus on tomorrow. We must
challenge our institutional practices by asking two key questions.
➨First, armed with the knowledge we have about our recent experiences,
“What decisions could we have made sooner?”
➨Second, and of far greater importance, “As you anticipate the challenges that
derive from our Title 10 and Title 32 responsibilities, “What should we be working
on now?”

COL Mark D. Rocke/DACS-ZDV-EOH/Mark.Rocke@US.Army.Mil/703-697-3920/28October2005 9


Bottom Line

• Strategic Goal: The Army will remain relevant and ready by


providing the Joint Force with essential capabilities to dominate
across the full range of military operations.
• Role of Leadership: To add impetus to our ongoing efforts to
change our culture to reflect the realities of our new operating
context.
• Key Tasks:
➨ Communicate our messages to those whom we serve – promote understanding
of why and how we are changing and relieve stress during a period of intense
operational activity and profound transformational change.
➨ Foster a culture that embraces innovation; adopts a joint, expeditionary
mindset; reinforces the Warrior Ethos; and promotes a sense of resiliency.

“As we assess Army Transformation, our progress in changing our culture – to reflect the realities
of our operating context – will be a true measure of our success …”

Applying the Strategic Framework

Strategic Environment
 What are the known, unknown, and presumed events that create the context in which you are operating?
 How do these events create opportunities and pose possible threats to the vision – translated into your
goals, objectives, or ends – that you are trying to achieve?

Ends
 What are you trying to achieve? What is your strategic focus?
 What are the goals you want to achieve (across the POM period and beyond) and the objectives (to be
accomplished in FY 05) that derive from this focus?

Ways
 How do you want your leaders to focus their individual and collective efforts to achieve the organization’s
goals and objectives?

Means
 What opportunities do you have to focus the individual and collective efforts of your leaders to achieve the
organization’s goals and objectives?

Risk
 Think of risk as the probability of failing to achieve desired objectives … the greater the probability of
failure… the greater the risk …
 What could cause a failure to achieve your objectives? How do you mitigate the risks you identify?

The Key Question

How do we “integrate, coordinate, and synchronize” the actions of


senior Army leaders to achieve established goals, objectives, and
requirements?

➨ What are our priorities?


➨ How do we best focus the time, energy, and creativity of our leaders?
