Current Events

Fires Response

Fires Capability Gaps:

• US Fires forces have insufficient number of systems and munitions

• US Fires forces’ core competencies (technical proficiency, survivability, movement) have atrophied

• US forces have significant capability gaps (e.g., short range air defense, long range surface-to-surface, degraded electronic operations, Directed Energy)

Changes in the Character of War

• Contested domains from air/maritime deployment to cyber & space

• Enemy designed to keep US out (A2/AD)

• No longer assume air superiority

• Massed precision long-range fires with area effects

• Increased lethality

• WMD proliferation

• Violent, brutal, ambiguous adversaries (hybrid warfare)

• Sensor-rich environment & social media

• Dense urban areas with large populations

• Intense information wars

• Less time to deploy and act (compressed decision cycles)

• Smaller more costly force structure

• Near-Peer vice Counter-insurgency

Growth of Fires and Fort Sill

Six Force Modernization Priorities

1. Long-Range Precision Fires

2. Next Generation Combat Vehicle

3. Future Vertical Lift

4. Army Network

5. Air and Missile Defense

6. Soldier Lethality

Contract Planning Assumptions:

Will not get the necessary military personnel to train the load.

Potential for greater than 300+ contract instructors (13 and 14 series MOS’s); training support personnel, etc.

Enduring requirements

Short period of time from receipt of funding to execution of contract requirements.

Existing contract requirements will potentially increase in scale.

Instructor contract requirements exceed the local market;

CONUS wide recruiting effort.

Potential FCoE Increases

Potential increases in training and training support requirements:

Basic Combat Training (BCT):

Ammunition Handlers Training Technicians Administrative

Advanced Individual Training (AIT), Professional Military Education and functional courses:

13 Series 14 Series JTACs Electronic Warfare Simulations/TADSS Operators IT and Knowledge Management personnel Training Developers Program/Project Managers

Emerging Requirements

Force Modernization Senior 13 and 14 Series Military Analysts Capability, Requirements, and Material Development

Expertise (Cross Functional Teams) Emerging Fires Technology Expertise Program/Project Managers

Army Multi-Domain Targeting Center Targeting Analysts Senior 13 and 14 Series SMEs Intel Analysts Capability Development Expertise JTACs Training Development Program/Project Managers

Industry Human Capital Challenges:

Security clearances & Post Access (No criminal records) IT Support (Security Plus) Qualified Instructors (H identifier) Instructor Certifications 13 and 14 Series Technical Expertise JTACs and Electronic Warfare Specialists

Qualified Senior Military Analysts Relocation to Local Area Meeting Large Numbers
