CSM ViewPoint CECOM-FWD and the Total Force By Command Sgt. Maj. Kennis J. Dent, CECOM CSM We’re faced with interesting times as the Army transitions to sustainment after being focused on overseas contingency operations for the past 11 years. We’re adjusting to achieving our goals using less fiscal resources than before. We’re identifying ways to improve our processes and expand the synergy between CECOM, our partners and our customers. And we’re focused on developing leaders within CECOM to guide the command in meeting the needs of our Combatant Commands and deliver optimal C4ISR support to the Army of the Future. As the Army continually takes prudent measures to reduce spending without sacrificing critical operational capabilities, it’s the work our CECOM personnel are executing now that will position the command for success in the long run. We’re streamlining our field support entities so that CECOM establishes a regional presence offering the full-spectrum of C4ISR support in one place. Our CECOM centers and commands supply field service experts, representing CE- COM’s Forward presence at home and abroad. CECOM’s Total Force—military and civilian— work together each day to support the Army’s current and future operational needs. As our Soldiers return home to spend time with their families, our team of dedicated CECOM personnel have taken the lead in performing one of the largest and most vital missions we’ve had since our troops redeployed – redeployment retrograde operations and resetting our forces while remaining responsive and agile to meet the ever-changing needs of our Combatant Command customers. In the near term, the Army Chief of Staff names four areas on which he is strategically focused on as he ushers the Army’s transition to sustainment and withdrawal from theater operations: . Committing to the current fight through its successful termination. . Downsizing the force. . Adapting to the new security environment. . Meeting the requirements of the nation’s new defense strategy. And to support those objectives, we must continue to leverage the capabilities of the CECOM’s Total Force to increase CECOM Forward’s rotational presence abroad where our personnel conduct retrograde operations. As we seek success, we must capitalize on the expertise and synergy our military and civilians bring to the mission as our Soldiers redeploy and equipment returns stateside. As we plan for the Army of the Future, we are realigning our field support efforts to provide services based on a regional support structure, rather than the embedded model we used in the past. This regional alignment will enable CECOM Forward to provide the gamut of software and logistics reset services in one station, providing one-stop-shop for CECOM services. Army Total Force organizations and capabilities, like our CECOM Forward stations, enable responsive, support while adapting and operating in this new fiscally constrained environment. And we couldn’t do it without our CECOM team of experts. That’s why CECOM is ‘The Critical Link’ in driving C4ISR support services worldwide. SPRING 2013 | THE LINK 7
