Draft Deliberative Document - For Discussion Purposes Only - Do Not Release Under FOIA
* Are you pushing joint or are these really multi-component (Slide 16)?
* What's moving to Crane (Slide 24)? Some depot stuff AAP items. (Salomon)
* Why not close Watervliet? We need the gun tube forge that is located there.
(Johnson)
* How many ranges did you close? Zero. I heard there was one closed at Hawthorne.
Yes, there was technically one closed there, but it is quite small and it is not a testing
range. (Johnson)
* That's the one STRATCOM disagrees with, the movement of CoCom C4ISR
Development and Acquisition Consolidation to Peterson AFB? Yes.
* So it would be $12B is you didn't build anything to fit in overseas moves (Slide36)?
I think it would be closer to $JO10B since about there is about $5B in movement costs.
Informal observations provided at briefing:
* "Mandate" may be too strong - should soften this (Slide 3).
* "Army BRAC Strategy" is more a process (Slide 5) and then the "Focus" slides
(Slides 6 and 7) are your strategy.
* Be sure to use BRAC language - Slides 6, 13, and 16. (E.g. - "Reshape" is not a
BRAC word, consider "Realign" instead.)
* Depending on how the recommendations will be briefed to the Commission, you
make want to make evident which of these bullet points the Army did and which ones
the JCSGs did (Slides 6 and 7). If JCSGs are going to brief the commission, make
sure it is clear on Slide 7 that these were areas that were looked at by JCSGs.
* Consider reordering the words on the footer of Slides 6 and 7 - Reduce excess is a
number one priority in BRAC and should probably be first.
* Move IGPBS bullet to end of list on "Operational Army - Active Component
Objectives slide" (Slide 8) to create a smooth transition into following slide.
* Consider changing title of Map on slide 10 to "BCT UA Endstate" and show both
losing European actions as well as gainers
* Separate IGPBS and Modular Force Transformation into two bullet points, use BRAC
language, and show not only where units are moving from, but also where the units
are moving to (Slide 11).
* Consider changing the titles of Slides 11 and 12 as "Operational Army" is not
descriptive. Also the title on Slide 15 - "Army Reserve Command and Control
Proposals" - should "Command" be "Component"?
* Make sure it is clear on the chart that you looked at gainers and losers for a specific
movement - i.e. - Headquarters (Slide 18).
* Make sure that you have coordinated with Education and Training JCSG (Slides 19-
21).
* Double check all acronym expansions.
* Make "RDT&E" Slide (Slide 25) title consistent with rest of slide - is the "A"
missing?
* Consider adding the two "something" to the RDAT&E map (Slide 27).
* Be careful with using "Joint Base" when it is really joint base operations.
* Give Walter Reed Army Medical Center its own bullet point under Realign since
more than inpatient functions are being realigned (Slide 32).
* Consider finding a rewording for "4th Estate" as it is an unclear term.
* Correct the typographical error in "one-time costs" for "Total BRAC" line on your"Quantitative Rollup" slide (Slide 32).
