1. Plan Saves $7.62 Billion/year And over $38 Billion/5 years
AC/RC CAB and BCT Restructure Plan RC Formations generally cost 1/3 of what the AC costs. This plan has 2 ARNG Bdes per AC Bde or a 1/3 – 2/3 ratio
National Guard
Aviation Proposal
Reduce number of Combat Aviation Brigades from 21 to 18 (6 AC to 12 ARNG) as opposed to the AC plan to cut from 21 to 10 – Saves 8 CABs
Saves nearly $3 Billion more annually than the AC’s proposed plan
Saves almost $4 Billion annually from the current Army Aviation Structure
National Guard
BCT Proposal
Reduce number of Brigade Combat Teams from 62 to 54 (18 AC to 36 ARNG) as opposed to the DoD plan to cut from 62 to 46 – Saves 8 BCTs
Saves over $400 Million more annually than the DoD proposed plan
Saves almost $4 Billion annually from the current Army BCT Structure
Plan Saves $7.62 Billion/year
And over $38 Billion/5 years

5. CAB Restructure Proposal
AC CAB Structure
A/C Transfer 4 CABs to ARNG
A/C Decommissions 3 CABs - retains 6 CABs
A/C CAB retains 24 X AH-64E for each of 4 CABs
A/C CAB retains 48 X AH-64E for each of 2 CABs
Maintain the OH-58 Fleet until replacement is fielded
One UAS Company in CAB formation
TH-67 remains IERW Training Aircraft until replacement trainer procured
38 UH-60, 15 HH-60, 12 CH-47
24 or 48 AH-64, 12 RQ-7, 12 MQ-1C, 30 OH-58D
Full-Spectrum CAB by x4, Full-Spectrum Heavy CAB X2
Transfer of 4 x AC CAB to ARNG CABs saves $3.8 B/yr ($666m/yr for AC CAB vs $204m/yr for ARNG CAB)
ARNG sustains a 4 year ARFORGEN Cycle (Reset, TY1, TY2, Ready)
3 CABs/year home station validation by State HQ with 1st Army oversight.
During Ready Year, 3 CABs available for immediate deployment to the AOR
3 ARNG CABs Ready combined with 6 AC CABs provides 50% of force available, 50% in reserve
Guard Maintains LUH-72 in 2 HD/S&S Bdes
One UAS Battalion in CAB formation
ARNG CAB Structure
Full-Spectrum CAB X8, Full Spectrum Heavy CAB by X4
38 UH-60, 15 HH-60, 12 CH-47
24 or 48 AH-64, 24 RQ-7, 24 MQ-1C
One CAB with 30 OH-58D in lieu of UAS
Home Station Validation and Mobilization provide major additional cost savings per year

6. AVIATION CONCEPT = $3.85B/year
Proposed Plan
6 x Active Component CABs, 4 each with 1 ARB , 2 each with 2 ARB , total 8 ARB with 24 each AH-64E = 192 total
12 x ARNG CABs, 8 each with 1 ARB, 4 each with 2ARB , total 16 ARB with 24 each AH-64E = 384 total
Total AH-64E in CABs (AC/RC) 576, remaining fleet of 124 AH-64 for IERW and ORF
Plan maintains 24 of 25 current ARBs all with AH-64E and 24 per ARB
New CABs – KYARNG, NCARNG, ARARNG, and WAARNG (Convert from Theater Commands)
Retain 2x HD/S&S in the ARNG and 2 X USAR Theater Commands
Deactivate 1st, 12th and 25th CABs
Only deactivating the 1-25 ARB, all other ARBs from deactivating CABs transfer to ARNG (8)
Retain all OH-58D until replacement aircraft is procured, savings by this plan could eventually pay for new armed scout
Conduct study of the need for manned, low-level, rotary wing reconnaissance vs. UAS teamed with AH-64E from ARB
Retain all S&S structure (212 UH-72s) in ARNG, savings by this plan could allow Army to solve its Training Helicopter deficiency

Notes:
From Current to ARNG Plan saves $3.8B per year.
D = $2.992B w/8 More CAB
D = $412M w/8 more BCT
From Current (62) to ARNG Plan (54) saves $3.77B per year.
($666M per AC CAB, $204M per ARNG CAB)
($281M per AC BCT, $91M per ARNG BCT; includes $8m over 2 years for AC BCT deployment prep and $97m over 4 years for ARNG BCT deployment prep)
BCT CONCEPT = $3.77B/year
Proposed Plan
62 Current BCT: 34 AC, 28 ARNG – DoD/CAPE would reduce to 46 BCT: 24 AC, 22 ARNG
ARNG Proposes to only draw down to 54 BCT, 18 in AC, 36 in ARNG
Plan correlates to 1 CAB per 3 BCTs
Move ARFORGEN Cycle to 4 years for ARNG BCTs like that for ARNG CABs (Reset ,Train 1, Train 2, Ready)
Plan allows for 50% of total force to be available (18 AC and 9 ARNG in Ready Year) other 50% in Reserve
TOTAL CONCEPT = $7.62B/year or $38.1B/5 years
