Appendix I CHIEF OF STAFF MESSAGE BUILDING THE FORCE FOR THE 21ST CENTURY-FORCE XXI Over the past four years America's Army has undertaken an enormous and very important transformation. We have not only remained trained and ready, we have also built a strong and enduring bridge to the future. We have shifted our intellectual and physical substance away from the Cold War and beyond the Industrial Age. We have aggressively sustained our commitment to leader development. We have broadened the focus of our training centers, not only to enable us to train for "traditional" missions, but also to train for those "operations other than war" to which we are more likely to be committed and which, as we saw in Somalia, can be anything but peaceful. We have made major shifts in Army and joint doctrine, shifts which better describe how we will operate. We have rescoped our modernization vision to improve our ability to acquire and assimilate post-industrial technology. Modernization is no longer about systems; it is about capabilities. We have reshaped the force structure to inactivate, so far, eight divisions, one corps, and associated infrastructure. We have completely refocused our concepts for operational planning based on force generation, adaptive planning, and innovative force packaging from resource pools. We have forged a new partnership throughout America's Army-a partnership which leverages the strength of each component at balanced resource lev- 7 MARCH 1994 els. We have made the initial steps to bring the Information Age to logistics and sustainment. We have reengineered many of the MACOMs. We have initiated strategic mobility programs vital to the nation. And we have changed the way we change by means of Louisiana Maneuvers, Battle Labs, and Information Age management techniques. Most importantly, we have sustained our commitment to quality people as the keystone of excellence. We in the Army recognize that, as we are building for the 21st century, quality people are the most important element of the force. None of this has happened by accident. It is the result of a sophisticated campaign to move us into the 21st century, a campaign incorporating every element of our Army. But the campaign is far from over. We are now entering what may very well be its most critical stage-the work of redesigning the forcethe division, the corps, and echelons above corps, including the sustaining base of the Army. This work has been left undone up to this paint-undone because it was necessary to allow the turbulence to abate and uncertainty to settle, to learn more about the future environment and "what could be," to set the stage by putting in place the initiatives enumerated above. It is time to redesign the force to better leverage both the power of our people and the power of our technology. This 21st century force will be called Force
