Warfighting Center: Necessary to Meet Our National Military Strategy

Abstract

Current National Security Strategy, National Military Strategy, 2001 Quadrennial Defense Review and war plans require up to 8 National Guard Enhanced Separate Brigades to be mobilized and deployed into a theater of operations within 140 days. If the two Major Regional Conflict (MRC) scenario plays out the current number of post-mobilization training sites designated will not meet this strategy requirement. Thus, a review of the current and potential training sites needed to be preformed to determine the number of sites required and the best locations for these training areas. These post-mobilization training sites will be designated as Warfighting Centers. This paper will provide a short review of the evolution of the Enhanced Separate Brigade (ESB), the current policy for mobilization, training and deploying of these ESB. I will also discuss the mission, description, and evaluation for selection of the Warfighting Center site and how they will be resourced with equipment, personnel, etc. Possible Courses of Action and recommendations on the Warfighting Center future will conclude this project.
