A the threat can come from a variety of different sources and it shows up in different training exercises will reflect both the new Mission and the wider territory that must be covered by the Force he said. A now we be got to be Able to move ourselves anyplace where you might have a problem. But you also need to deploy by air and by sea to go some other place in conjunction with our the Force will work More closely with its nato partners As part of larger multinational forces a or in and hoc arrangements similar to the military coalition in the persian Gulf and in Turkey and Northern Iraq. As demonstrated by operation provide Comfort the Mission to Render Aid and Protection to the kurdish Community in Northern Iraq the forces task May not always be to destroy an enemy Force. A armies can do More than bring destruction on an area. I think they demonstrated that in provide Comfort a Saint said. As the Mission becomes less stylized so does the training. Soldiers will be asked to perform More difficult tasks at Hohenfels and Grafe Wohr training areas Saint said. A we used to worry about individual tank Crews being Able to qualify. Then i went to tank platoons being Able to qualify on a very simple course. Now we re having tank platoons firing Day night moving offence defense Over some distance against multiple targets from different directions a he said. A was i told the commanders the other Day we done to intend to Cut them any Slack a smaller Usa eur will emphasize Quality Over Quantity whether with its facilities or its troops he said. It makes sense he said for the army to keep facilities with the Best Barracks the Best training areas the Best locations or the Best climate without regard to whether they belonged to v corps or Vii corps. But changes Are not always painless. Because Usa eur is keeping facilities from both the v corps and the Vii armies can do More than bring destruction on Art area. I think they demonstrated that in provide up corps areas the process for determining. A a a. Diers and their families will not suffer during the draw Down and instead should improve. A that does no to mean that in a going to create a welfare state Over Here where we re going to do everything for Usa eur Hopes specifically to focus on the lot of the single Soldier by treating a him or her More like an adult and on an equal basis with married soldiers living off base he said. That includes More space in the Barracks a instead of having six people to a room double bunked a he said. A a they la suffer deprivation a if you Tell them to sleep out in the mud whatever it is a As Long As there a a reason. But i think we re losing our the Agenda also includes improving the single soldiers Kitchen facilities visitation privileges in the Barracks and Access to gyms. A was we go through this draw Down we can fix some of those but Saint cautioned that hiring and budget restrictions will make it harder to boost support for some types of programs such As family counselling which some defense officials say is More important in times of transition. A i done to see an increase in those other kinds of things family advocacy or things like that to be. Perfectly Frank with you. Some of those things May go Down because of civilian hire difficulties and. Monetary resource difficulties i Saint acknowledged that Usa eur does no to have All the support systems realistically that exist for soldiers at . Bases. But Usa eur remains attractive the lineage of the remaining corps a and thereby its name a is a very complicated and emotional one he said. A you look at How Long they be been on Active duty what great feats they be performed numbers of Battles and Battle streamers they be got a Saint said. A and you have to do it for corps divisions and battalions basically. So there a nothing easy to it. A a it a extremely emotional a he added. A in fact 1 just had a conversation on this subject with the two corps commanders. Neither one of them said they re emotional about the subject and that a Why their ears turn red when they talk about it a fall three of us have served in both corps. So there a nothing easy about Saint said that the Quality of life for sol we re in the midst of a maelstrom. As Long As we keep our Eye on what s important and put the resources where we can Well make it to soldiers for other reasons a the training available the leadership and because a a there a a certain amount of thrill and excitement to be part of an organization that sat the some analysts have suggested that a smaller Usa eur might consider unaccompanied Tours where soldiers deploy without families because it might not be Able to support a Broad array of services necessary to sustain deployed families. But Saint said Usa eur will not go to unaccompanied Tours As Long As he gets his Way. A a in be looked at it from an analytical Point of View. In be looked at it from an experienced Point of View. And i reject it on both with half the soldiers in the army married unaccompanied Tours would be very unpopular with soldiers. A they did not get married and try to raise a family in order to spend that much time being unaccompanied Tours which tend to be Shorter would also degrade combat readiness by creating More turbulence in the theater because of the number of people in transit he said. Saint likens the army a draw Down to choosing an All Star squad. Only marginal soldiers need to worry about their future he said. A rather than say they re going to get selected out what we re going to say is that we re not going to select them to stay. Like the All Star team. So we re picking the All Star soldiers remaining in the army should continue to have the same Ca reer opportunities As before he said. A if you Structure the army right As you take it Down then people will have the same percentage Opportunity for promotions schooling and All the other kinds of things a Saint said. A a in a say it will become More competitive which is Good for a with regard to the draw Down Saint said that the most significant problem facing Usa eur is being Able a to move this Many people pack up their goods and get their cars and dogs cats and everything packed the problem is partly the result of the number of people moving because it is the traditional vacation time for workers and a because we As an organization Haven to focused on it hard enough a he said. A so i would use the phrase a we re having meaningful discussions at this a Usa eur would like to add More movers As Well As to pay a Premium for extra duty a so go out and Hustle More bring in other meanwhile there is a precise process to follow for units selected to withdraw from Europe Saint said. Units will have 150 Days after notification to Complete the Stan Down. A it is your Only Mission other than taking care of battalion commanders have flexibility to change assignments for individuals where necessary he said. A if you have a High school senior then Well find you another Job if you want to stay for your child to graduate from this High monday Gen.
