Description

The Army is undertaking an extensive effort to reduce the size of its force and rebalance its combat aviation capabilities. In Oct. 2013, the Army Chief of Staff approved a force-structure proposal -- called the Army Aviation Restructuring Initiative -- that would cut approx. 10,700 military positions by eliminating active-component and reserve-component units. The Army would also remove all AH-64 Apache helicopters from the reserve component and increase their number in the active component, saving roughly $1 billion annually. The National Guard Bureau has opposed this effort. This report (1) compares the assumptions underlying the Armyäó»s and the Bureauäó»s respective combat aviation force-structure proposals; (2) evaluates the Armyäó»s analyses of the two proposalsäó» respective capacities to meet projected combat requirements; and (3) evaluates the Armyäó»s cost analyses and comparison of both proposals. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
