Way Ahead Challenges: Sustaining and integrating the knowledge and experience, both AC and RC, gained from a decade of persistent conflict Sustaining the current Total Army Force Generation strategy as we draw down in theaters of operation Focusing on Core Competencies to prioritize requirements Preparing the Total Force to meet the Combatant Commander requirements across the full range of operations Including the Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental, Multinational (JIIM) elements into multiple aspects of training and preparation Establishing a predictable model that gains strategic flexibility and operational depth in an all-volunteer force Sustaining the care expected by our Soldiers and Families 8

27 Continuum of Service (CoS) What is CoS: A Management system that facilitates the transparent movement of individuals between the Active Component, the Reserve Components, and Civilian Service, providing variable and flexible service options and levels of participation, which are consistent with DoD manpower requirements. Soldier For Life: Retain access to critical skills and expertise Expedite reentry when life changes force Soldiers to leave Leverage the drawdown to enhance: Cost: Soldier training vs. Benefit force readiness Experience and appropriate grade structure in Total Force Essential to a Total Force Policy Recruiting a single force Preserves the All-Volunteer force Simplifies Personnel Accessions and Management Eliminates roadblocks to transferring and reassigning personnel Procedural efficiency
