Force Drawdown Summary 2013

In FY 2013, the Army will begin the initial stages of a force drawdown, end the temporary end strength increase, reduce the active duty for operational support, reduce the Army force structure, and begin to eliminate the wartime allowance reducing our manning flexibility and ability to over man formations. HQDA FY 13-15 ACMG will resource IAW priorities reflected in the integrated requirement priority list and priorities established by Army leadership. Key tasks will be to man the Army, preserve a quality all-volunteer force, maintain end strength, align manning levels, provide minimal manning levels for all units, increase precision/predictability in manning, and establish a formalized process for units to request change in their IRPL priority
through G-3/5/7. The goal is to man ARFORGEN formations at not less than P2 during the reset phase and sustain formations at not less than P1 during the train/ready and available phases. P-level ratings will be used to determine manning effectiveness and readiness in deploying units. Units will not be manned above designated levels to compensate for non-available personnel.
