WASHINGTON (Army News Service, June 18, 2004) -- Army senior leaders have the same concerns of Soldiers about multiple and long unit deplolyments, but they’re letting Soldiers know that changes to lessen those concerns are on the way.
The Army sent out 100,000 compact disks with multimedia briefings known as the Army Campaign Plan to inform active-duty, Reserve and National Guard Soldiers, and their families, that the Army is significantly changing while it is at war.
“We are an Army at war, supporting a nation at war -- this is not business as usual,” said Sgt. Maj. of the Army Kenneth Preston. “If you look at in the long-term, that isn’t going to change. The good news is that we’re going to grow our deployable combat forces by 30 percent.”
Both that growth of modularizing the Army -- going from 33 combat brigade teams to 48 brigade-sized units of action -- is going to take some time, said Army Chief of Staff Gen. Peter Schoomaker in one of the three video presentations on the Army Campaign CD.
