US National Defense Posture And TOEs
US national defense posture, plans, and TOEs for engagements off The American Continent are disbanded. US national defense postures, plans, and TOEs for engagements on The American Continent and Hawaii, but not west thereof, are created.
The US JCS, CJCS, and COCOMs are disbanded. The US General Staff and their Chief of Staff are created. These report to SecDef and POTUS.
The Branches of The US Armed Forces are disbanded. The US Army, a fully-integrated Joint Force comprising Space, Air, Fires, Sea, and Land Force components, is created. The US Army, the single, all-arms US Joint Force, reports to The Chief of Staff of The US General Staff.
The US Army supports and defends The Constitution of The USofA.
The US Congress takes the US defense industrial base as US state property. Principals of these industries report to SecDef and The Chief of Staff of The US General Staff.
Regimental organization is restored between Battalion and Brigade organizations. O6s command Regiments. O7s command Brigades.
Platoons have a drone Squad, Companies a drone Platoon, Battalions a drone Company, and Regiments and Brigades a drone Battalion.
Squads comprise 2 Teams and ± 5-14 personnel.
Platoons comprise 3-5 Squads and ± 30-50 personnel.
Companies comprise 3-5 Platoons and ± 100-200 personnel.
Battalions are in TF strength and comprise 3-5 Companies, an HHC, and ± 1200 personnel.
Regiments comprise 7 Battalions (5 Line, 2 Fires), an HHB, and ± 5400 total personnel.
Brigades comprise 2 Regiments, an HHB, and ± 10,800 total personnel.
Divisions comprise 2 Brigades, an HHB, a Reserve Regiment, and ± 32,400 total personnel.
Squad-to-Regiment TOEs are for tactical depth engagements, the depth increasing with the size of the formation. Division and Corps TOEs are for operational depth engagements. Army and Army Group TOEs are for strategic depths engagements. Brigade TOEs are transactional between tactical and operational depths of engagements.
Having moved from horse to tank to Stryker, Cavalry move now from Stryker to drone. Cavalry belong to the Fires Force component of The US Army. Their mission is constant: forward precision eyes and ears (ISR), shock-strength flank skirmish capability, and forward precision fires (ISR/Strike).
Leaders of the five Force components, The General Staff, commanders of field formations down to Company level, and all equipment work inside one and the same electronic network. Everyone and every thing can see everything they need to see to execute their assigned duties within the rationale of the engagement at the strategic depth.1
United Components Instead Of Competing Branches
Even now, under the obsolete model of JCS, CJCS, COCOMs, and constant expeditionary conflict off-continent, anticipations of a US General Staff and TOEs for intra-continental US homeland defense can occur.2
At the present Brigade formation, experiments with Joint Force architectures and culture/command/communal dynamics can be made.
For example, Space Force personnel can be invited into a present Brigade’s S2 and S3 staff shops. Air and Sea Force personnel can participate there as well as in a Brigade’s S4 staff shop. Fires Force personnel from other than the Land Force component can work in a Brigade’s S2 and S3 staff shops.
Ideally, all 8 Brigade staff shops3 integrate personnel from each of the five Force components4 of The US Army. This procedure forms — by design-test, redesign-retest, over and over, never stopping — architectures and dynamics that guide and gift the emergence of The US Army as a single, integrated US American Military Joint Engagement Force.
The US Army will be One Force when Company staff shops carry the S designation and Battalion-to-Army Group staff shops carry the J designation. G designations apply to staff shops in each of the 5 Component Force admins resident inside The US General Staff.
On Reindustrializing The USofA
There are many ways to do this. It is not difficult. Rightly done, it sells itself.
At least three processes are available: (1) onshore from elsewhere, (2) reshore companies who left, and (3) back-fill with new companies behind what is not here.
Back-filling offers the most opportunities. Start fresh with different presumptions about mission, method, and metrics of success.
For example, instead of piling up profits for the sake of piling up profits — which go nowhere useful and have negative synergetic might, to include conjuring choirs of derision — put profits to work — truly anonymously — to foster a general happiness in a company’s area of presence. This is an activity, so long as it remains anonymous, of substantial synergetic might. It ensures longevity for the company who deploys it.
Presume that cooperation yields more benefit in all directions more quickly and more reliably than does competition, which wastes the most precious resource available for local and national development: human vitality.5
Form associations of small companies — not necessarily in the same productive sector — to build multi-company towns that house, feed, educate, recreate, and medically caretake employees.
Incentivize families — husband, wives, and their children — to grace these towns. Pay employees comfortably, husband or wife, whichever is the chief breadwinner, so that the other can be a homemaker and their children.
Limit pay for senior executives and directors to small multiples of employee wages, freeing up profits to attract and retain employees comfortably.
Prioritize quality-of-life for all. Not equality of such things as character, ability, or result. No. Quality-of-life for all. Operating profits and much goodness that satisfies attend naturally from this use of resources.
Build factories that are clean, pleasant places for work. Employees should look forward to seeing plants where they work when they come to work at them.
Use lots of robots and web connectivity.
Make multi-company towns spacious, open, with wide boulevards and promenades, comfortable for the large physical frames of US Americans and their automobiles.6
Build quiet parks with pleasant walks and arbors, also views. Include therein one or more prayer halls for employees to decorate to taste. Each prayer hall is home to adherents of all religions.7 No politics, no demonstrations in parks. These are quiet places for children to play and everyone to re-create.
Plant trees, provide clean water, garbage removal, and sewers for all.
Build charming indoor and outdoor prosceniums not for entertainment but for improving cultural events such as music, drama, lectures, and scientific and athletic events.
Enlist the assistance of local counties and states to make multi-company towns inviting for families with children. Let these families revere traditional human values such as sympathy, patience, and happiness derived from the hard work of craftsmanship.
With local counties and states, foster among yourselves and your employees loyalty to The USofA, reverence for the fecundity of our USofA Motherland, and devotion to our forebears who gifted and countrymen who gift their lives and livelihoods to guarantee our sovereign US national freedom.
Disallow The Liberal Arts (Bologna Process) as Core Curriculum in the education system of multi-company towns. No teacher unions. Establish there instead the five Domains of Engineering8 as Core Curriculum. Engineeering as Core Curriculum is for everyone all the time from birth until passing away.
For professionals only — Theologians, Medical Doctors, Soldiers, Lawyers, Pedagogues — there is a follow-on Curriculum: The University Of The Professional Guilds.
Military engagement at any depth should be undertaken only in the presence of an actual (compared to imagined or ginned up) existential threat to the nation at the strategic depth. Therefore, the nation’s strategic depth must be identified and settled by public agreement before calculations of existential threat to the nation can be seen and assessed as between real, imagined, and false flag. Without public agreement to defend the nation at strategic depth, and unless the threat is actual rather than imagined or ginned up, military engagement at any depth will fail ignominiously even for its perpetrators.
Precision stand-off weapons, especially hypersonics, make off-continent military engagement for any country impossible. The impossibility deepens and broadens with the elapse of time.
