8. ARFORGEN: Synchronizing the Complex
Units on the same installation are in different ARFORGEN force pools!
This is a cyclical “view” of ARFORGEN on12 January 2010; it is a snapshot of units at Fort Bragg, North Carolina; this is the same day that a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti – example of strategic flexibility and operational depth inherent in ARFORGEN (pulled units forward from train/ready)
Two units were deployed to OUR – 2/82 and Corps HQs
Three units sourced for CCMRF were considered but not deployed to OUR – 44 Med BDE, 261 Multi-Funtional Med BN, 155 Prev Med Det
There is a great deal of complexity involved in training, deploying, and redeploying units operating on individual timelines and across three separate AORs (CENTCOM, SOUTHCOM, NORTHCOM).
The complexity is magnified the lower you go in the organization. Orchestrating ARFORGEN on our installations requires a concerted effort on the part of many stakeholders.
I hope from this, you can see the complexity that is inherent in ARFORGEN and why those who support and the processes they use must be agile, flexible, and adaptable.
TRANSITION: Now that I have discussed modularity and ARFORGEN, I want to discuss the third paradigm shift – utilizing the RC as an operational force…

Role of the IG in the OIP.
Conducting inspections "makes the units better".
Principles of inspections:
Instructive - No inspection is complete if the units or agencies inspected have not learned about goals and standards and how to achieve them.

(RAV)
Readiness Assistance Visits (RAVs) allow IGs to assist
Operating Force (Corps / Division)
units occupying the Reset Force Pool by:
Teaching incoming personnel how to inspect their organization
Teaching the unit about the Organizational Inspection Program
Assisting a unit in re-establishing systems
Readiness Assistance Visits (RAVs) are NOT Inspections
. . . and they are NOT a substitute for
Initial Command Inspections
or Subsequent Command Inspections

Step 2
DEVELOP CONCEPT
Concept Memo
The RAV concept is the blueprint for your RAV plan and forms the basis of your concept-approval briefing.
The concept is nothing more than a plan that outlines – in general – how the IG team plans to accomplish the RAV.
The concept plan can take the form of a memorandum or a slide briefing – or both (physical output of this step).

The RAV
must have a
Directive
Step 2
DEVELOP CONCEPT
Concept Memo
Directive
RAV concept should include – at a minimum – the following items:
RAV Purpose (from the Research step)
RAV Objectives (from the Research step)
Scope of the RAV (describes the team’s task organization and overall focus)
Required Resources (specifies the SMEs required by area of expertise)
Timeline (outlines the key milestone dates)
Notification (explains how the RAV teams plan to notify the units)
The directive gives the IG the authority to assemble an RAV Team and conduct the RAV.

DETAILED PLANNING
Methodology
Notification Memo
Detailed RAV Plan
A methodology is nothing more than the RAV team’s plan for physically conducting the RAV. It may include:
Task Organization of the RAV Team (includes functional specialty augmentees)
Standard Methodology
Sample RAV Itinerary
Notification Memorandum and the Detailed RAV Plan are not unlike their inspections
counterparts: they anticipate and answer the questions the unit may ask.

Develop OIP training material (classes for systems)
Rehearse, Rehearse, Rehearse!!
U.S. Army Inspector General School 27

28. Readiness Assistance Visit
19 April 2017
Readiness Assistance Visit
Execute your methodology and the itinerary you developed with the unit or staff agency.
Conduct the in-briefing to inform the unit leaders of the purpose and scope of the RAV (develop a standard in-briefing for all units).
RAV team members must determine the proficiency and knowledge level of the functional-area representative and tailor the training accordingly and assist them in THEIR development of a checklist that will help them see themselves.
Assist the unit representatives in developing an out-briefing (develop a standard slide format) that they will use to out-brief THEIR commander on what they inspected.
Step 5
CONDUCT THE RAV
Out-briefing
The out-briefing is NOT an IG product !!

RESULTS TO DIRECTING AUTHORITY
Out-briefing book
With detailed results
Providing the results to the directing authority may be a formal or informal event depending on the commander's guidance.
In each case, however, the RAV team must prepare for the commanding general a briefing book that includes the same slides that the unit's representatives briefed their commander along with the completed general inspection checklists.

30. Readiness Assistance Visit U.S. Army Inspector General School 30
19 April 2017
Readiness Assistance Visit
Schedule a follow-up visit about six to eight weeks following the original RAV.
Normally a one day event that does not need to include the entire original team.
Team members can coordinate with and conduct follow-up on an individual basis as well based on need for additional training or based on level of improvement.
Based on input from the RAV Team, the Command IG or designated representative should then contact the unit commander and inform him or her that the RAV has met it's goals and close out the RAV.
The Command IG should also close out the RAV with the commanding general.
