146 CHAPTER SIX: PEOPLE Growing the integrated Defence workforce 6.6 Defence’s total workforce is currently made up of around 58,000 Permanent members of the ADF, around 19,500 paid and active Reservists, and around 17,900 full-time equivalent APS employees. This integrated workforce has a diverse range of skills, including in combat and combat support, capability development and sustainment, technical, strategy, policy, intelligence and planning, and engineering, scientific and language skills. SECTION TWO CAPABILITY 6.7 As Defence adopts new and more complex capabilities, the demands on the integrated workforce will increase. New technologies will require new skills and will rely even more than now on the diverse range of skills of the integrated workforce. To meet these demands, the Government will undertake the largest single rebalance of the integrated Defence workforce in a generation through the implementation of the First Principles Review. Permanent Australian Defence Force 6.8 Under the plans in this Defence White Paper, the Permanent ADF workforce will grow to around 62,400 personnel over the next decade. This is an increase of around 2,500 over previous plans and will support the introduction of new capabilities. The new ADF positions will cover air, land and sea combat roles as well as intelligence, cyber security and enabling capabilities. This will return the Permanent ADF to its largest size since 1993. In addition to overall growth, the transition to the future force will require the reallocation of around 2,300 existing ADF positions to higher priority activities as new capabilities are delivered in this decade and beyond. 6.9 The scale of the rebalance of the ADF workforce reflects the importance of continually reviewing and matching our people to the highest priority
Growing the integrated Defence workforce 147 tasks for our country’s future defence. The changes will occur over the next decade and beyond across all six warfighting and enabling capabilities outlined in Chapter Four. `` `` `` `` `` Enhancements in intelligence, space and cyber security will require around 900 ADF positions, including in intelligence collection and analysis, communications, supporting the information requirements of new platforms like the Joint Strike Fighter, surveillance aircraft and navy ships, and to better support Special Forces and cyber security. The significant growth in ADF personnel reflects the White Paper’s emphasis on strengthening intelligence, space and cyber security capabilities to meet our future challenges. The larger maritime and anti-submarine force will require an increase of around 800 ADF positions, with further growth beyond the decade to operate the larger submarine fleet in particular. The generation of crews with the appropriate mix of skills and experience must be carefully managed to meet the challenging growth needed to operate Navy’s new submarines and surface ships. The strike and air combat workforce will increase by around 500 ADF positions to support the acquisition of deployable ground-launched air defence capabilities and advanced command and control for Integrated Air and Missile Defence. Around 700 additional ADF positions will support enhancements to capabilities in land combat and amphibious warfare, including unmanned aircraft, the new long-range rocket capability for land forces and combat support systems. Enabling capabilities will require around 1,100 additional ADF positions. This includes logistics, operational support, training systems and ranges, enhanced support to Navy engineering, force SECTION TWO CAPABILITY 2016 DEFENCE WHITE PAPER
