Victory Starts Here! TRADOC is the Architect of the Army, and “thinks for the Army” to meet the demands of a Nation at war while simultaneously anticipating solutions to the challenges of tomorrow.

To shape both today’s Army and the Future Combat Force, the Army’s Architect:

Recruits and Trains Soldiers

Develops Adaptive Leaders

Designs the Army’s Modular Force

Maximizes Institutional Learning and Adaptation

Today’s Recruiting Market Today’s Recruiting Market

About 73% of American youth are not eligible for Army service

Propensity is the lowest it has been in over two decades

Patriotism has steadily decreased since 2002

College is overwhelmingly the preferred post-high school choice (for both prospects and influencers) . . . educational opportunity is a major incentive.

Breaking through media “clutter” continues to be challenging

Army is perceived as “ordinary” vs. other services

GWOT continues to have a polarizing effect on the youth market

Vision: Based on current research in adult learning theory and instructional technology, create a new learning model that supports Soldiers and Leaders who are competent to perform within a dynamic operating environment

Design a model that supports Army Force GenerationSystematically determine when to use face-to-face instruction and when to use distributed learning (dL)Utilize adult learning principles that maximize adaptive thinkingDesign instruction using Guided Experiential LearningUse diagnostic testing to allow ability grouping

Developing a process to seamlessly link to the operating force providing Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTP) and best practices.

Shifting focus to enduring principles and techniques.

Doctrine focus – overarching enduring principles, modular force operations and future combat force operations.

During war, the operating force drives change based on experience, events, and lessons learned in theater operations.

Today’s Fight (Irregular Warfare)… - More survivable against low tech weapons- Long term distributed operations with small footprint - Monitor vast territory with aerial and ground sensors- Smaller footprint (people, fuel, ammo etc.)- Rapid and agile maneuver force (improve closure time)- Unmanned air and ground sensors (can find and fix enemy)- Distributed precision engagement (kill with distant fires)

… and Tomorrow’s Fight (???)Balanced mounted/dismounted capabilities Shared close in view of the battlefield (HUMINT essential)

- “See first/kill first” - don’t be seen, acquired, hit, penetrated or killed.

- Virtual “touch” once dismounted- Situational awareness continuous in

SummarySummary

The U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command: Recruits and trains the right Soldier for a campaign quality force Adapts training and education to the rapidly evolving and

dynamic joint operating environment Establishes better linkages to the Operating Forces while

simultaneously receiving constant feedback on ways to adapt Leads the Army in developing a flexible requirements process

that recognizes opportunities and seizes initiative to accelerate solutions

TRADOC will preserve our focus on Soldiers – the centerpiece of our formations… our asymmetric advantage

TRADOC’s center of gravity is our ability to learn and adapt, as the “Architect of the Army,” to support the Army’s operating forces.
