How To Do It
Create a Unit-based System
- Stabilize—Give Units and Soldiers a Home Base
- Units fully trained in collective skills
- Officers and NCOs have time to learn their profession
- Soldiers/families have a home
- Schedule units on a life cycle
- Units manned, trained, and deployed according to a schedule
- Soldiers aligned with units in basic training
- Officers assigned as cohorts to units
- Rotate units overseas from their home base
- Retain IRS for specialized positions
Put Operational Commanders in charge (in a changed culture)
- Delegate promotion and assignment authority to operational commanders
- Reduce the number of HQs (current system is Napoleonic)
