AC/RC CAB and BCT Restructure Plan

RC Formations generally cost 1/3 of what the AC costs. This plan has 2 ARNG Bdes per AC Bde or a 1/3 – 2/3 ratio

National GuardAviation Proposal

•Reduce number of Combat Aviation Brigades from 21 to 18 (6 AC to 12 ARNG) as opposed to the AC plan to cut from 21 to 10 – Saves 8 CABs•Saves nearly $3 Billion more annually than the AC’s proposed plan•Saves almost $4 Billion annually from the current Army Aviation Structure

National GuardBCT Proposal

•Reduce number of Brigade Combat Teams from 62 to 54 (18 AC to 36 ARNG) as opposed to the DoD plan to cut from 62 to 46 – Saves 8 BCTs•Saves over $400 Million more annually than the DoD proposed plan•Saves almost $4 Billion annually from the current Army BCT Structure

Plan Saves $7.62 Billion/yearAnd over $38 Billion/5 years

CAB Restructure Proposal• A/C Transfer 4 CABs to ARNG • A/C Decommissions 3 CABs - retains 6 CABs• A/C CAB retains 24 X AH-64E for each of 4 CABs• A/C CAB retains 48 X AH-64E for each of 2 CABs• Maintain the OH-58 Fleet until replacement is fielded• One UAS Company in CAB formation• TH-67 remains IERW Training Aircraft until replacement trainer procured

• ARNG sustains a 4 year ARFORGEN Cycle (Reset, TY1, TY2, Ready) • 3 CABs/year home station validation by State HQ with 1st Army oversight.• During Ready Year, 3 CABs available for immediate deployment to the AOR• 3 ARNG CABs Ready combined with 6 AC CABs provides 50% of force available, 50% in reserve• Guard Maintains LUH-72 in 2 HD/S&S Bdes• One UAS Battalion in CAB formation

• Transfer of 4 x AC CAB to ARNG CABs saves $3.8 B/yr ($666m/yr for AC CAB vs $204m/yr for ARNG CAB)

38 UH-60, 15 HH-60, 12 CH-47 24 or 48 AH-64, 24 RQ-7, 24 MQ-1C

• Home Station Validation and Mobilization provide major additional cost savings per year

Proposed Plano 62 Current BCT: 34 AC, 28 ARNG – DoD/CAPE would reduce to 46 BCT: 24 AC, 22 ARNGo ARNG Proposes to only draw down to 54 BCT, 18 in AC, 36 in ARNGo Plan correlates to 1 CAB per 3 BCTs o Move ARFORGEN Cycle to 4 years for ARNG BCTs like that for ARNG CABs (Reset ,Train 1, Train 2, Ready)o Plan allows for 50% of total force to be available (18 AC and 9 ARNG in Ready Year) other 50% in Reserve

AVIATION CONCEPT = $3.85B/year• Proposed Plan

o 6 x Active Component CABs, 4 each with 1 ARB , 2 each with 2 ARB , total 8 ARB with 24 each AH-64E = 192 totalo 12 x ARNG CABs, 8 each with 1 ARB, 4 each with 2ARB , total 16 ARB with 24 each AH-64E = 384 totalo Total AH-64E in CABs (AC/RC) 576, remaining fleet of 124 AH-64 for IERW and ORFo Plan maintains 24 of 25 current ARBs all with AH-64E and 24 per ARBo New CABs – KYARNG, NCARNG, ARARNG, and WAARNG (Convert from Theater Commands)o Retain 2x HD/S&S in the ARNG and 2 X USAR Theater Commandso Deactivate 1st, 12th and 25th CABso Only deactivating the 1-25 ARB, all other ARBs from deactivating CABs transfer to ARNG (8)

• Retain all OH-58D until replacement aircraft is procured, savings by this plan could eventually pay for new armed scout• Conduct study of the need for manned, low-level, rotary wing reconnaissance vs. UAS teamed with AH-64E from ARB• Retain all S&S structure (212 UH-72s) in ARNG, savings by this plan could allow Army to solve its Training Helicopter deficiency
