Lieutenant General Douglas gave , 00:14.670 --> 00:18.310 Abram CG income and Dr David Pittman 00:18.320 --> 00:21.060 director uses E R D C . 00:22.740 --> 00:26.420 Okay ? You can hear me okay . All right . 00:26.420 --> 00:28.420 Hey , good afternoon . Jack Sarah's 00:28.420 --> 00:30.420 here . Uh , sorry for the , for the 00:30.420 --> 00:32.642 delay . I'm told it had something to do 00:32.642 --> 00:34.698 with with power point . So you're at 00:34.698 --> 00:36.809 the words corner where we're going to 00:36.809 --> 00:38.642 talk about the army installation 00:38.642 --> 00:41.040 strategy . We have a couple copies here . 00:41.040 --> 00:43.262 Some of you that that are are sitting . 00:43.262 --> 00:45.720 I know have one already . We'll be glad 00:45.720 --> 00:47.887 to get your one if you'd like your own 00:47.887 --> 00:50.200 copy . So , you know , this is one of 00:50.200 --> 00:52.730 the army's newer strategies . It's um , 00:52.740 --> 00:54.629 it's right up there with the army 00:54.629 --> 00:56.851 strategy , the modernization strategy , 00:56.851 --> 00:59.018 the people strategy will now , for the 00:59.018 --> 01:01.860 first time we have a a strategy focused 01:01.860 --> 01:04.680 on installations that was signed out by 01:04.680 --> 01:06.736 the Secretary of the Army , Chief of 01:06.736 --> 01:08.958 Staff of the Army and Sergeant Major of 01:08.958 --> 01:11.860 the Army actually last december . Um , 01:11.870 --> 01:15.120 so here's what we have today and let's 01:15.120 --> 01:17.176 go to the next slide please . Yeah . 01:18.240 --> 01:21.650 Alrighty . So I'm gonna I'm gonna give 01:21.650 --> 01:23.872 you an intro and then I'll turn it over 01:23.872 --> 01:26.039 to uh General Evans that's who's going 01:26.039 --> 01:27.761 to talk a little bit about the 01:27.761 --> 01:29.928 initiatives going on at headquarters . 01:29.928 --> 01:32.094 General Gabriel is going to talk about 01:32.094 --> 01:34.317 what's going out in installations . And 01:34.317 --> 01:33.730 then finally Doctor Pittman is going to 01:33.730 --> 01:36.120 talk about what the United States Army 01:36.120 --> 01:38.220 Corps of Engineers is doing uh to to 01:38.220 --> 01:40.930 assist with uh especially technology 01:40.930 --> 01:43.041 with respect to how we're modernizing 01:43.041 --> 01:45.200 our our installations . So I'll tell 01:45.200 --> 01:47.422 you that the Army installation strategy 01:47.422 --> 01:49.256 describes how installations will 01:49.256 --> 01:52.040 modernize to support The multi domain 01:52.040 --> 01:55.100 operations ready force over the next 15 01:55.100 --> 01:58.250 years . But first of all , why did we 01:58.260 --> 02:00.482 in fact , right , the strategy and what 02:00.482 --> 02:03.060 I would suggest is that the bottom line 02:03.060 --> 02:05.330 is that the world , you know , the 02:05.330 --> 02:08.750 operational environment has changed and 02:08.750 --> 02:11.050 it continues to involved . And I'm 02:11.050 --> 02:13.350 going to talk about three , three big 02:13.350 --> 02:16.330 developments that I think we as an army 02:16.330 --> 02:18.970 need to think about with respect to our 02:18.970 --> 02:21.360 installations and and the three I'm 02:21.360 --> 02:23.582 going to talk about are listed right on 02:23.582 --> 02:26.030 the right hand side of the screen . So 02:26.030 --> 02:29.880 first the army published its concept 02:29.880 --> 02:32.060 for multi domain operations and I'll 02:32.060 --> 02:35.310 refer to that as NGO and an NGO 02:35.320 --> 02:37.780 created the concept of the strategic 02:37.780 --> 02:40.550 support area and a strategic support 02:40.550 --> 02:42.780 area is of course , is where the 02:42.780 --> 02:44.947 majority of our installations reside . 02:44.947 --> 02:47.002 And it's and it's the location where 02:47.002 --> 02:49.410 the army trains from uh you know , 02:49.410 --> 02:52.560 plans at and and deploys to operations . 02:53.140 --> 02:55.362 So I'm going to first suggest that that 02:55.362 --> 02:57.418 means that our installations , we've 02:57.418 --> 02:59.418 now , I think we've got to consider 02:59.418 --> 03:01.473 them as a part of the battle space , 03:01.540 --> 03:04.350 you know , and you know , the Indio and 03:04.350 --> 03:06.440 a strategic support area need us to 03:06.440 --> 03:08.496 think a little bit differently about 03:08.496 --> 03:10.496 about installations and the various 03:10.496 --> 03:12.690 roles that they serve . We now have an 03:12.690 --> 03:15.200 army that is at the moment , primarily 03:15.200 --> 03:17.990 based in the United States . Our 03:17.990 --> 03:19.934 installations not only support our 03:19.934 --> 03:22.310 people with important administrative 03:22.310 --> 03:24.421 and quality of life initiatives as we 03:24.421 --> 03:27.520 all know , but these are the platforms 03:27.530 --> 03:29.470 for training , deployment and 03:29.470 --> 03:31.700 sustainment of military operations . 03:32.240 --> 03:34.407 And I would further suggest that these 03:34.407 --> 03:36.518 days , if you think about it , almost 03:36.518 --> 03:39.430 every operation starts and ends at an 03:39.430 --> 03:41.430 installation . Okay , so that's the 03:41.430 --> 03:44.160 first concept . Second concept is that , 03:44.740 --> 03:46.740 you know , threats to the strategic 03:46.740 --> 03:48.740 support area and installations have 03:48.740 --> 03:52.180 evolved very , very unfortunately is 03:52.180 --> 03:54.069 contained in the national defense 03:54.069 --> 03:56.650 strategy . Uh , you know , the Homeland 03:56.660 --> 03:59.510 is no longer secure , the Homeland is 03:59.510 --> 04:01.510 no longer a sanctuary . So that's a 04:01.510 --> 04:04.420 that's a really big change from from 10 04:04.420 --> 04:06.760 or or you know , 5 , 10 , 20 years ago . 04:07.640 --> 04:10.890 So our strategy recognizes this and the 04:10.890 --> 04:13.380 need to build resilience now to protect 04:13.380 --> 04:16.470 against a wide range of threats . You 04:16.470 --> 04:18.470 know , we've got physical threats , 04:18.470 --> 04:20.748 we've got , you know , natural threats , 04:20.748 --> 04:22.637 cyber , you know , cyber sorts of 04:22.637 --> 04:24.790 things , disinformation campaigns , 04:24.790 --> 04:27.220 attacks to the energy grid , um , you 04:27.220 --> 04:29.276 know , also , you know , many , many 04:29.276 --> 04:33.230 other uh challenges . So , um , so what 04:33.230 --> 04:35.452 I'm really talking about here is a , is 04:35.452 --> 04:37.674 a , is a culture shift . We really need 04:37.674 --> 04:39.630 to think about installations , 04:39.630 --> 04:43.560 operations as being , you know , 04:43.560 --> 04:45.727 an enabler for for for the war fighter 04:45.727 --> 04:49.590 in the army . All right , # 04:49.590 --> 04:52.530 three . And and and finally , you know , 04:52.540 --> 04:54.680 new technologies , so this of course 04:54.680 --> 04:58.640 can be really beneficial or or you know , 04:58.650 --> 05:00.817 really not , you know , for the army . 05:00.817 --> 05:02.928 So we've got to be ready for these uh 05:02.928 --> 05:05.039 with these new threats , we've got to 05:05.039 --> 05:07.039 tackle them , we've got to have the 05:07.039 --> 05:09.150 right tools and capabilities . And at 05:09.150 --> 05:11.317 the same time I suggest that there's a 05:11.317 --> 05:13.483 lot we can probably learn from these , 05:13.483 --> 05:15.428 you know , the smart city sorts of 05:15.428 --> 05:17.594 things going on outside the fence line 05:17.594 --> 05:19.206 and all the various evolving 05:19.206 --> 05:21.280 technologies that we see today um at 05:21.280 --> 05:23.391 the end of the day , what we're after 05:23.391 --> 05:27.060 is um uh 05:27.070 --> 05:29.700 modern , um you know , resilient and 05:29.700 --> 05:31.922 sustainable installations um you know , 05:31.922 --> 05:34.089 at the end of the day . Okay . So with 05:34.089 --> 05:37.080 that short intro , um I'm gonna turn it 05:37.080 --> 05:39.820 over to General Evans , he's the Deputy 05:39.820 --> 05:42.042 Chief of Staff G nine for installations 05:42.042 --> 05:44.098 and he's going to talk about some of 05:44.098 --> 05:46.490 the initiatives he's got got going on 05:46.500 --> 05:48.500 in support of the army installation 05:48.500 --> 05:52.420 strategy . General . Thank 05:52.420 --> 05:55.800 you , Jack , Good afternoon . And so as 05:55.800 --> 05:58.290 the Army G9 , we have the 05:58.300 --> 06:01.860 responsibility of really writing and 06:02.840 --> 06:06.420 collaborating with the key stakeholders 06:06.430 --> 06:08.950 on the headquarters staff as well as 06:08.950 --> 06:11.061 the Occam's the implementation plan . 06:11.061 --> 06:13.172 So we're putting the final touches on 06:13.172 --> 06:15.970 that . And so this wasn't a plan that 06:15.970 --> 06:18.660 just didn't start from from scratch , 06:18.670 --> 06:22.250 it's been uh kind of fragmented because 06:22.260 --> 06:24.427 key stakeholders have gone about doing 06:24.427 --> 06:27.370 what's right uh in the army in terms of 06:27.380 --> 06:30.520 particular programs . But , you know , 06:30.650 --> 06:32.761 the one thing is it'll be resourced , 06:32.761 --> 06:35.250 constrained informed by priorities . 06:35.250 --> 06:37.528 And I was just talking to mr paul fern . 06:37.528 --> 06:39.750 Um Congratulations , sir , he's now the 06:39.750 --> 06:42.070 senior official um official acting 06:42.070 --> 06:44.430 officials as the S . A . I N . E . And 06:44.440 --> 06:46.384 and so , you know , there's been a 06:46.384 --> 06:48.607 little pressure on the army budget , so 06:48.607 --> 06:50.829 we will have to prioritize that what we 06:50.829 --> 06:53.320 were going to do here . There's uh you 06:53.320 --> 06:55.487 see the line of efforts , there's four 06:55.487 --> 06:57.598 line line of efforts . And what we've 06:57.598 --> 06:59.764 done is we've been able to run O . P . 06:59.764 --> 07:02.740 T . S . Run task force at echelon to 07:02.740 --> 07:05.040 scope exactly what needs to happen in 07:05.040 --> 07:07.151 each line of effort . And if you look 07:07.151 --> 07:09.262 at the people , take care of people , 07:09.262 --> 07:11.484 we've been able to make sure that we're 07:11.484 --> 07:13.540 nested within the army campaign plan 07:13.540 --> 07:15.762 were nested with the Army senior leader 07:15.762 --> 07:17.707 priorities . And as you all know , 07:17.707 --> 07:19.762 people are the number one priority . 07:19.762 --> 07:22.096 And so when you're talking about people , 07:22.096 --> 07:24.318 there are a lot of things going on with 07:24.318 --> 07:26.373 people , There's a people first task 07:26.373 --> 07:28.540 force , There's a quality of life task 07:28.540 --> 07:31.320 force that the G nine leads . Um and so 07:31.330 --> 07:33.497 all of those efforts , we have to make 07:33.497 --> 07:35.719 sure that were integrated and make sure 07:35.719 --> 07:37.663 the planned implementation plans , 07:37.663 --> 07:39.780 address all of that in each line of 07:39.780 --> 07:41.669 effort . And so that that work is 07:41.669 --> 07:43.502 ongoing now . And so when you're 07:43.502 --> 07:45.447 talking about people , what are we 07:45.447 --> 07:47.669 talking about when we're in this regard 07:47.669 --> 07:49.947 in terms of Army installation strategy . 07:49.947 --> 07:52.224 Well that's quality of life facilities , 07:52.340 --> 07:55.510 that's uh quality of life services for 07:55.510 --> 07:57.540 people on installations . How do we 07:57.540 --> 07:59.596 modernize them ? How do we make them 07:59.596 --> 08:01.762 better ? Uh General Gabriel has done a 08:01.762 --> 08:05.660 fabulous job of bringing uh A lot of uh 08:05.670 --> 08:08.070 21st century technology to that and I'm 08:08.080 --> 08:10.302 sure he'll talk a little bit more about 08:10.302 --> 08:12.302 that . And then when you're talking 08:12.302 --> 08:15.120 about lina effort to um the strength of 08:15.120 --> 08:17.231 readiness , you know , this is really 08:17.231 --> 08:19.453 key because this is where installations 08:19.453 --> 08:21.564 really project combat power . We have 08:21.564 --> 08:23.676 installations out of power projection 08:23.676 --> 08:25.620 platforms , the mobilisation force 08:25.620 --> 08:27.731 generation installations and it's key 08:27.731 --> 08:29.953 that these installations stay resilient 08:29.953 --> 08:32.960 terms of energy , water and technology 08:32.970 --> 08:35.690 so we can be so we can do what we're 08:35.700 --> 08:37.700 what we have to do . The number one 08:37.700 --> 08:39.922 thing we've got to do is fight win wars 08:39.922 --> 08:42.089 and you're going to project power from 08:42.089 --> 08:44.200 those installations . And so uh we've 08:44.200 --> 08:46.422 worked diligently with the right people 08:46.422 --> 08:46.250 to make sure that we have that in the 08:46.250 --> 08:48.960 implementation plan modernize and 08:48.960 --> 08:52.160 innovate . That's a big deal . Um So 08:52.940 --> 08:55.162 one of the things is how do we leverage 08:55.162 --> 08:56.830 technology so that we have 08:56.830 --> 08:58.441 installations integrated and 08:58.441 --> 09:00.552 constellations of installations where 09:00.552 --> 09:02.719 you can you can get a common operating 09:02.719 --> 09:04.941 picture , how do we get installations , 09:04.941 --> 09:07.052 you know , five G technology ? I mean 09:07.052 --> 09:09.108 we're there's a pilot that's ongoing 09:09.108 --> 09:11.274 now where we can bring that technology 09:11.274 --> 09:15.220 to bear on an installation . Um and 09:15.220 --> 09:19.080 then you have um Develop the 09:19.080 --> 09:21.080 modernization of the facilities . I 09:21.080 --> 09:23.191 talked about now this has been really 09:23.191 --> 09:25.413 kind of revolutionary work for us . The 09:25.413 --> 09:28.780 regulation um for the modernization and 09:28.780 --> 09:31.002 building standards hasn't been probably 09:31.002 --> 09:33.224 updated about 10 years . And so there's 09:33.224 --> 09:35.391 probably about seven designs right now 09:35.391 --> 09:37.613 that are critical to tactical equipment 09:37.613 --> 09:39.502 maintenance facilities , I had an 09:39.502 --> 09:39.160 opportunity to visit Fort Hood . 09:39.540 --> 09:41.596 Soldiers got tank engines outside of 09:41.596 --> 09:43.610 bay Area on the ground doing 09:43.610 --> 09:47.290 maintenance . That's not what we need 09:47.300 --> 09:49.467 soldiers to be doing . We need to have 09:49.467 --> 09:51.578 modern facilities where you have a 10 09:51.578 --> 09:53.689 10 ton crane or five ton crane inside 09:53.689 --> 09:55.911 acclimatized building where they can do 09:55.911 --> 09:58.022 the maintenance . So we've we've done 09:58.022 --> 09:59.967 we've worked with in common AMC to 09:59.967 --> 10:01.830 modernize those standards for 10:01.840 --> 10:04.060 construction standards along with the 10:04.140 --> 10:07.330 the corps Engineers also worked 10:07.330 --> 10:09.650 on um 10:10.540 --> 10:14.100 CDCs and you'll you'll see general game , 10:14.100 --> 10:16.350 we'll talk a little bit about that . Uh 10:16.360 --> 10:18.600 Barracks is a big deal . We've worked 10:18.600 --> 10:22.260 the construction standards for um 10:22.640 --> 10:24.862 the barracks so that those barracks are 10:24.862 --> 10:27.250 more ergonomically um Conducive for 10:27.250 --> 10:30.170 soldiers and one of things that you 10:30.170 --> 10:32.660 know , we want to make sure when we 10:32.660 --> 10:35.110 rebuild soldiers of barracks , how do 10:35.110 --> 10:37.221 we make barracks more soldier proof . 10:37.221 --> 10:39.221 Right . And so all of that has been 10:39.221 --> 10:41.443 taken into consideration . We've gotten 10:41.443 --> 10:43.554 some guidance from the remains of the 10:43.554 --> 10:45.832 army to work with him as well as A . M . 10:45.832 --> 10:45.680 C . And I think we're on a good path in 10:45.680 --> 10:47.902 terms of construction standards for our 10:47.902 --> 10:51.250 barracks and then um line of effort 10:51.250 --> 10:54.720 for promote stewardship . This is 10:54.720 --> 10:56.920 really uh , where we're talking about 10:56.920 --> 10:58.920 the protection of the environment . 10:58.920 --> 11:01.142 This is really what we're talking about 11:01.142 --> 11:03.364 the climate control strategy . And that 11:03.364 --> 11:05.642 effort is being led right now by the A . 11:05.642 --> 11:07.864 S . A . I . N . E , the Climate control 11:07.864 --> 11:09.753 workgroup . And they've done some 11:09.753 --> 11:11.753 fabulous work there . We still have 11:11.753 --> 11:13.476 some scoping to do in terms of 11:13.476 --> 11:15.642 actionable objectives inside of that . 11:15.642 --> 11:17.600 You will see electrification of 11:17.600 --> 11:20.270 vehicles . Um , and we we must move out 11:20.270 --> 11:23.250 on that initiative , which we will do . 11:23.260 --> 11:25.371 I was just talking to mr Farnum about 11:25.371 --> 11:27.640 that . Um , so , well , I think , well 11:27.650 --> 11:29.817 over the next year , see progress with 11:29.817 --> 11:31.983 that . We've already got some charging 11:31.983 --> 11:31.790 stations at , at some of the 11:31.790 --> 11:33.957 installations . We've already got some 11:33.957 --> 11:36.012 hybrid vehicles , but we've got to , 11:36.012 --> 11:38.179 we've got to do more there In terms of 11:38.179 --> 11:40.179 protecting environment . You've all 11:40.179 --> 11:42.512 heard the news about P five p pfoa . Uh , 11:42.512 --> 11:44.457 we're on top of that . It's a very 11:44.457 --> 11:47.770 complex issue about 335-36 sites and we 11:47.770 --> 11:50.380 continue that work and mitigate the 11:50.390 --> 11:52.460 drinking water were necessary 11:53.540 --> 11:55.990 energy . We just completed a 11:55.990 --> 11:58.460 comprehensive review on U . P . R . 11:58.460 --> 12:00.127 Which is really the utilities 12:00.127 --> 12:01.900 privatization and the army's 12:01.900 --> 12:04.500 privatization as well as uh , the third 12:04.500 --> 12:07.040 party energy contracts . Uh , we feel 12:07.040 --> 12:09.207 good about where we're at with that in 12:09.207 --> 12:11.540 terms of what reform needs to happen uh , 12:11.540 --> 12:13.540 and the way ahead . Um , I will now 12:13.540 --> 12:15.920 pass to General Gabriel and look 12:15.920 --> 12:18.142 forward to your questions . Thank you . 12:22.940 --> 12:26.570 How's everybody doing ? So I , 12:26.580 --> 12:28.920 my parents said number one , always 12:28.920 --> 12:31.087 fight from an elevated position if you 12:31.087 --> 12:33.890 can . I'm trying to Get some eye 12:33.890 --> 12:36.160 contact with you . # two always move 12:36.540 --> 12:38.429 because it's really easy to hit a 12:38.429 --> 12:42.400 stationary target . So I'll just We 12:42.400 --> 12:44.456 got five minutes and I don't want to 12:44.456 --> 12:46.678 talk to you about kind of the execution 12:46.840 --> 12:49.570 of what Mr Suresh and Lieutenant 12:49.570 --> 12:51.626 General Evans laid out in terms of a 12:51.626 --> 12:54.260 strategy . So what 12:56.040 --> 12:58.318 does anybody know a garrison commander ? 12:58.318 --> 13:00.207 Does anybody served on a garrison 13:00.207 --> 13:02.151 installation rate . This is active 13:02.151 --> 13:04.262 participation in the audience . There 13:04.262 --> 13:06.429 you go . It's good to see people taken 13:06.429 --> 13:08.660 notes actually that's powerful . So in 13:08.660 --> 13:10.493 this job , what I've , what I've 13:10.493 --> 13:12.271 learned and as we , you see the 13:12.271 --> 13:14.160 strategy and you see the lines of 13:14.160 --> 13:17.220 effort behind behind me , what I just 13:17.220 --> 13:19.276 like to take a couple minutes to say 13:19.276 --> 13:21.900 how proud we are um as an army of our 13:21.900 --> 13:23.956 installation leaders and that starts 13:23.956 --> 13:26.610 with the garrison command teams . So as 13:26.610 --> 13:29.210 you know , those are kernels with a 13:29.210 --> 13:31.321 great command star major with a great 13:31.321 --> 13:33.800 civilian deputy and a great team 13:33.800 --> 13:35.970 support team behind them . And just 13:35.980 --> 13:38.690 what what have we navigated as we 13:38.690 --> 13:40.579 continue the fight to look to the 13:40.579 --> 13:43.030 future to modernize what's our current 13:43.030 --> 13:45.252 fight . We're all sitting here in masks 13:45.252 --> 13:47.197 that four ft separation . It's the 13:47.197 --> 13:50.280 pandemic . Well I think you'd be proud 13:50.460 --> 13:53.770 to know that when this started And pick 13:53.770 --> 13:56.640 your date back last year in 2020 . 13:56.710 --> 13:58.877 Remember where we started in Korea and 13:58.877 --> 14:01.043 Germany and Italy and our installation 14:01.043 --> 14:03.266 commanders were on point and we quickly 14:03.266 --> 14:05.900 shared the information to gain the 14:05.900 --> 14:07.567 initiative if you will on our 14:07.567 --> 14:10.390 installations . As we look today . How 14:10.390 --> 14:12.557 many of you are thinking ? Well , what 14:12.557 --> 14:14.612 did we do outside the wire ? Because 14:14.612 --> 14:16.723 you heard Mr Suresh talk about cities 14:16.723 --> 14:18.946 and as you all know , each installation 14:18.946 --> 14:21.112 is a little city . So what what did we 14:21.112 --> 14:24.410 do ? We kept we kept the police , we 14:24.410 --> 14:26.632 kept the fire . We kept the hospitals . 14:26.632 --> 14:28.743 We kept the C . D . C . S open by the 14:28.743 --> 14:30.854 way , not many people realize that we 14:30.854 --> 14:32.966 came down to about 25% open now we're 14:32.966 --> 14:36.550 about 85% open based on the HP con the 14:36.550 --> 14:38.272 health protection level of the 14:38.272 --> 14:40.770 installation that drives that . But we 14:40.770 --> 14:42.937 stayed open . We stayed in the fight . 14:42.937 --> 14:45.710 And as you heard both general Evans and 14:45.710 --> 14:48.590 mr Suraj talk about we project combat 14:48.590 --> 14:50.646 power from our installations . We've 14:50.646 --> 14:52.646 always done that and we're going to 14:52.646 --> 14:54.868 continue to do that in the future . And 14:54.868 --> 14:57.034 why is that important ? Just look what 14:57.034 --> 14:59.740 happened recently with Afghanistan Pope 14:59.740 --> 15:01.851 Army airfield . A lot of people don't 15:01.851 --> 15:04.073 realize this but we put the 82nd out of 15:04.073 --> 15:05.930 Charleston . Why ? Because we're 15:05.930 --> 15:08.080 modernizing pope And we're spending 15:08.080 --> 15:10.191 about $90 million dollars to complete 15:10.191 --> 15:12.302 that runway which is going to be open 15:12.302 --> 15:14.302 next week . And we did it in record 15:14.302 --> 15:16.524 time and it's gonna be great for future 15:16.524 --> 15:18.840 operations ? So we will project combat 15:18.840 --> 15:21.007 power from our installations . You can 15:21.007 --> 15:24.310 pick many of them . Some of the smaller 15:24.310 --> 15:26.532 ones . Maybe not , but the major ones , 15:26.532 --> 15:28.366 as you all know , we're going to 15:28.366 --> 15:30.088 continue to do that and that's 15:30.088 --> 15:32.450 important . So we also , what was 15:32.450 --> 15:36.290 mentioned CDCs , I'm very proud . 15:36.290 --> 15:38.900 We're very proud of our CDCs . We 15:38.900 --> 15:41.800 employ about 40,000 folks in our CDCs . 15:42.240 --> 15:44.970 I'm sorry Children , about 10,000 folks 15:44.970 --> 15:47.081 across the whole portfolio and that . 15:47.640 --> 15:49.696 And I think you heard it yesterday . 15:49.696 --> 15:51.751 That's the gold standard . Why do we 15:51.751 --> 15:53.918 have a wait list ? What ? You know why 15:53.918 --> 15:56.029 we have a wait list . Anybody got the 15:56.029 --> 15:58.140 answer to that because people want to 15:58.140 --> 16:00.140 get into our daycare because of the 16:00.140 --> 16:02.210 quality we have . And we're very , 16:02.220 --> 16:04.840 we're very proud of this fact Based on 16:04.840 --> 16:07.062 the infrastructure requirements and the 16:07.062 --> 16:09.410 need for more spaces . We're building 16:09.410 --> 16:12.050 some 21 CDCs over the next 10 years 16:12.050 --> 16:14.217 which will provide about 4000 spaces . 16:14.217 --> 16:16.550 And we're looking at other alternatives . 16:16.550 --> 16:18.661 So I think this is a very , very good 16:18.661 --> 16:21.020 news story . Housing , anybody have any 16:21.020 --> 16:24.240 questions about housing ? You're 16:24.240 --> 16:26.240 kidding me ? Well , let me give you 16:26.240 --> 16:28.240 just an antidote on housing and I'm 16:28.240 --> 16:30.351 probably going to get the hook here . 16:30.351 --> 16:32.518 But I think this is really important . 16:32.518 --> 16:34.629 How many privatized houses are in the 16:34.629 --> 16:37.820 United States Army , 87,000 87,000 . We 16:37.820 --> 16:40.380 now and housing crisis , why did it 16:40.380 --> 16:42.380 happen ? And I'll just go ahead and 16:42.380 --> 16:44.547 answer that it happened because we the 16:44.547 --> 16:46.658 army and our c our partners , we kind 16:46.658 --> 16:48.824 of let our foot off the gas and we had 16:48.824 --> 16:51.240 some gaps and seams . Do we have some 16:51.240 --> 16:53.462 problems in housing ? Yes , we do . But 16:53.462 --> 16:55.840 I can tell you today today , we have a 16:55.850 --> 16:59.310 weekly displaced family meeting charity 16:59.310 --> 17:01.310 either by myself or my deputy Major 17:01.310 --> 17:04.010 General jones with Get Garrison 17:04.010 --> 17:06.010 Commander . If you have a displaced 17:06.010 --> 17:08.460 family and our RC partner every monday . 17:09.140 --> 17:11.251 And we talked not only about why they 17:11.251 --> 17:13.473 were displaced , but we also talk about 17:13.473 --> 17:15.362 metrics on how we're going to get 17:15.362 --> 17:17.529 better , etc . Today , right now today 17:17.529 --> 17:19.584 we have 70 displaced families out of 17:19.584 --> 17:22.630 87,000 privatized homes in about 15 of 17:22.630 --> 17:24.852 those are pre planned for renovations . 17:25.040 --> 17:26.984 So we've got our eye on the ball , 17:26.984 --> 17:29.096 we're tracking this at my level . Can 17:29.096 --> 17:31.096 we get better ? We're trying to get 17:31.096 --> 17:33.318 better every day , but we're very proud 17:33.318 --> 17:35.262 on where we are on housing today . 17:36.340 --> 17:38.284 Couple other couple other points , 17:38.284 --> 17:40.396 What's my time saying that I'm good . 17:40.640 --> 17:42.473 I'm out there telling me they're 17:42.473 --> 17:44.307 kicking me out and then I got my 17:44.307 --> 17:46.418 aviation brothers right behind me and 17:46.418 --> 17:48.529 they're all giving me the thumbs up , 17:48.529 --> 17:50.696 Gabriel , you're always late . Um , so 17:50.696 --> 17:52.751 I will give the mike , I'll be ready 17:52.751 --> 17:54.918 for questions and I'll give the mic to 17:54.918 --> 17:56.960 dr Pittman , sir . Thanks , sir . 18:02.040 --> 18:04.570 Well , good afternoon . I'm Dave 18:04.570 --> 18:06.348 Pittman . I'm with the Corps of 18:06.348 --> 18:08.348 Engineers and we support everything 18:08.348 --> 18:10.459 they said . We deliver an operational 18:10.459 --> 18:12.403 mission . So we do construction on 18:12.403 --> 18:14.514 basis , we do the runways , we do the 18:14.514 --> 18:16.126 housing , we do the military 18:16.126 --> 18:18.126 construction mission for the Army , 18:18.126 --> 18:19.848 United States Army and all its 18:19.848 --> 18:21.959 installations . But we also have what 18:21.959 --> 18:23.959 we call a civil works mission . You 18:23.959 --> 18:25.737 might not realize this , but we 18:25.737 --> 18:27.681 actually have managed the nation's 18:27.681 --> 18:29.792 rivers and waterways and ports . It's 18:29.792 --> 18:31.848 an entire it's about half of our $60 18:31.848 --> 18:31.770 billion dollar program we deliver every 18:31.770 --> 18:34.250 year . So the chief engineers has two 18:34.250 --> 18:36.500 big bosses , he says six Secretary of 18:36.500 --> 18:38.278 the Army for Civil Works and as 18:38.278 --> 18:40.556 Secretary of the Army for installation , 18:40.556 --> 18:42.556 energy , environment . And that's a 18:42.556 --> 18:44.667 that's a good thing because we're not 18:44.667 --> 18:46.944 just focused on what the military does . 18:46.944 --> 18:46.150 We have a war fighting mission . We 18:46.150 --> 18:48.261 have the housing mission , the millet 18:48.261 --> 18:50.483 and this place of mission . But we also 18:50.483 --> 18:52.761 have we do all these things with water . 18:52.761 --> 18:54.928 We do waterways , experiment station , 18:54.928 --> 18:54.650 that's where I'm from . We look at 18:54.650 --> 18:56.817 surges , we look at hurricanes and all 18:56.817 --> 18:59.320 that . But today we have an Army Army 18:59.320 --> 19:01.376 installation strategy . We just went 19:01.376 --> 19:03.487 over but I'm gonna reveal a brand new 19:03.487 --> 19:05.653 thing called the Army COrp engineers , 19:05.653 --> 19:07.790 R and D strategy . If you never heard 19:07.790 --> 19:09.957 of it , there's a reason for that . We 19:09.957 --> 19:11.846 just unveiled this past week . We 19:11.846 --> 19:14.068 actually reviewing that inside the core 19:14.068 --> 19:16.290 videos right now and that's what I have 19:16.290 --> 19:18.290 right here . I have 10 bullets here 19:18.290 --> 19:20.290 that represent the top 10 army corp 19:20.290 --> 19:22.012 engineers R . And D priorities 19:22.012 --> 19:23.846 supporting the army installation 19:23.846 --> 19:26.070 strategy and we kind of have them lined 19:26.070 --> 19:28.070 up those top 10 R . And D . Parties 19:28.070 --> 19:30.292 against army installation strategy . It 19:30.292 --> 19:32.348 kind of lines up the way I show it . 19:32.348 --> 19:34.459 But really these these parties are so 19:34.459 --> 19:36.570 big . I mean you just look at some of 19:36.570 --> 19:38.626 these bullets here so we're going to 19:38.626 --> 19:40.681 mitigate and adapt to climate change 19:40.681 --> 19:42.903 for instance . Okay that's a big deal . 19:42.903 --> 19:44.848 The administration talks about the 19:44.848 --> 19:47.181 impact of climate change across America . 19:47.181 --> 19:49.348 It definitely impacts our facilities . 19:49.348 --> 19:51.459 So whether we're talking about search 19:51.459 --> 19:53.403 hurricane surge on coastal areas , 19:53.403 --> 19:53.340 we're talking about droughts in the 19:53.340 --> 19:55.284 west . We're facing a lot of those 19:55.284 --> 19:57.396 right now . We got a lot of expertise 19:57.396 --> 19:59.562 that frankly we developed on our civil 19:59.562 --> 20:01.784 work side of the game because we're the 20:01.784 --> 20:01.680 experts on the coastal areas where the 20:01.680 --> 20:03.770 experts on installations as well . 20:04.140 --> 20:06.251 We're going to make our installations 20:06.251 --> 20:08.029 much more resilient , much more 20:08.029 --> 20:10.090 adaptive to these impacts of climate 20:10.090 --> 20:12.312 change . We work on the mitigation side 20:12.312 --> 20:14.620 as well reducing greenhouse gases . So 20:14.620 --> 20:16.620 as Mr Sarah says one way you can do 20:16.620 --> 20:18.787 that is just reduce your energy demand 20:18.787 --> 20:20.676 on our installations , reduce the 20:20.676 --> 20:22.898 manifesto , fuels that we need and then 20:22.898 --> 20:24.676 come up with other great energy 20:24.676 --> 20:26.620 solutions as well . We're going to 20:26.620 --> 20:28.842 protect and defend the arctic , believe 20:28.842 --> 20:30.953 it or not , we got one of the world's 20:30.953 --> 20:33.064 best R . And D . Laboratories for the 20:33.064 --> 20:33.020 arctic anarcho regions lab in new 20:33.020 --> 20:35.590 Hampshire . The arctic is the tip of 20:35.590 --> 20:37.840 the spear on climate change . Much more 20:37.840 --> 20:39.673 impact in the arctic regions and 20:39.673 --> 20:41.840 believe it or not , the enemy has more 20:41.840 --> 20:43.951 basis above the arctic circle than we 20:43.951 --> 20:45.951 do . So we got to understand how to 20:45.951 --> 20:48.118 fight up there and at the same time to 20:48.118 --> 20:50.284 protect the arctic uh the permafrost , 20:50.284 --> 20:52.229 that sort of thing is we build our 20:52.229 --> 20:54.229 infrastructure up there . We talked 20:54.229 --> 20:56.340 about war fighting right ? And in the 20:56.340 --> 20:58.396 army we win , we don't just tie , we 20:58.396 --> 20:57.970 win . Right ? So how are we gonna win 20:57.970 --> 21:00.260 future wars ? All of the army 21:00.260 --> 21:02.520 modernization programs right now we're 21:02.520 --> 21:04.960 in seven out of eight C . F . T . S . 21:05.340 --> 21:07.860 So it all starts on installations , 21:07.870 --> 21:09.870 right ? Those are forced projection 21:09.870 --> 21:11.981 platforms where that's where we train 21:11.981 --> 21:13.814 our soldiers . So we're actually 21:13.814 --> 21:13.810 supporting the army modernization 21:13.810 --> 21:16.770 strategy as well . So it's all about 21:16.770 --> 21:18.881 the environment as well . So the core 21:18.881 --> 21:20.937 of engineers are like the experts on 21:20.937 --> 21:23.048 the environment again whether it's on 21:23.048 --> 21:25.048 the civil work side of the military 21:25.048 --> 21:27.159 side , we're gonna do our training on 21:27.159 --> 21:29.214 our military installations and we're 21:29.214 --> 21:31.381 going to protect threatened endangered 21:31.381 --> 21:31.230 species at the same time and we're 21:31.230 --> 21:33.174 going to get the p fast out of the 21:33.174 --> 21:35.174 ground water that we generated over 21:35.174 --> 21:37.341 decades . We gotta have new technology 21:37.341 --> 21:39.452 to do this . Administration right now 21:39.452 --> 21:41.619 is trying to pass a $1 trillion dollar 21:41.619 --> 21:43.730 infrastructure bill . The estimate by 21:43.730 --> 21:45.674 the Army American Society of Civil 21:45.674 --> 21:47.730 Engineers is that it's actually a $4 21:47.730 --> 21:47.670 trillion dollar problem across America . 21:48.140 --> 21:50.362 So how you gonna make a billion dollars 21:50.362 --> 21:52.640 turned into $4 billion dollars R and D . 21:52.940 --> 21:55.051 You're going to stretch those dollars 21:55.051 --> 21:56.940 out . We got to do the same thing 21:56.940 --> 21:59.051 inside the army were scarce resources 21:59.051 --> 22:01.162 for installations as well . So that's 22:01.162 --> 22:00.740 the R . And D . Strategy . If I go to 22:00.740 --> 22:02.740 the next slide , I'll give you some 22:02.740 --> 22:04.810 specific examples . Our construction 22:04.810 --> 22:06.588 and engineering research lab in 22:06.588 --> 22:08.310 champagne Illinois was created 22:08.310 --> 22:10.532 specifically for this purpose . Back in 22:10.532 --> 22:12.143 the 1960s , we picked up the 22:12.143 --> 22:14.310 installation mission right after World 22:14.310 --> 22:16.477 War II . So we're focused on all kinds 22:16.477 --> 22:18.588 of this is just 12 different examples 22:18.588 --> 22:20.532 of the type of projects that we're 22:20.532 --> 22:22.310 addressing right now challenges 22:22.310 --> 22:24.310 identified in the army installation 22:24.310 --> 22:26.477 strategy . I'll highlight too . One is 22:26.477 --> 22:28.532 something called facility investment 22:28.532 --> 22:30.643 analytics . So this is using big data 22:30.643 --> 22:32.866 analytics . Everybody's out there using 22:32.866 --> 22:34.754 artificial intelligence , machine 22:34.754 --> 22:36.699 learning . We're doing that in the 22:36.699 --> 22:38.754 Corbyn gears as well . And one thing 22:38.754 --> 22:40.866 the Army does have a lot of besides a 22:40.866 --> 22:43.088 lot of bills . They got a lot of data . 22:43.088 --> 22:44.588 Okay . All across the Army 22:44.588 --> 22:46.588 installations without energy data . 22:46.588 --> 22:48.532 We've got infrastructure data . We 22:48.532 --> 22:50.477 actually developed a technique for 22:50.477 --> 22:52.699 inspecting all of our infrastructure on 22:52.699 --> 22:54.866 installations from building conditions 22:54.866 --> 22:57.032 to road conditions . We do engineering 22:57.032 --> 22:56.790 assessments , we can predict how 22:56.790 --> 22:59.220 they're going to perform 10 2030 40 50 22:59.220 --> 23:01.700 years away , not just one building all 23:01.700 --> 23:03.367 the infrastructure on all the 23:03.367 --> 23:05.589 installations . We can do that now with 23:05.589 --> 23:07.644 something called facility investment 23:07.644 --> 23:09.756 analytics . But then you say , okay , 23:09.756 --> 23:11.811 and then we can make decisions about 23:11.811 --> 23:11.620 trade space , about what we're gonna 23:11.620 --> 23:13.731 spend money on . We don't have enough 23:13.731 --> 23:15.731 money , what's the best daughter to 23:15.731 --> 23:17.898 spend and where . But now if you bring 23:17.898 --> 23:20.064 the mission part into it , we actually 23:20.064 --> 23:22.120 have to accomplish missions on these 23:22.120 --> 23:24.342 installations . That's something called 23:24.342 --> 23:24.060 the Facility Resilience Investment 23:24.060 --> 23:26.180 analytics . That brings the mission 23:26.180 --> 23:28.347 dependency index on it . That's just a 23:28.347 --> 23:30.236 couple of examples of the kind of 23:30.236 --> 23:32.458 things we're doing for materials to big 23:32.458 --> 23:34.402 data analytics to new construction 23:34.402 --> 23:36.624 technologies trying to convert this big 23:36.624 --> 23:38.680 mission that our installations going 23:38.680 --> 23:40.791 deliver for America . So I appreciate 23:40.791 --> 23:42.958 the opportunity to talk to you . And I 23:42.958 --> 23:45.069 think I'll turn it over to Mr Cyrus . 23:45.069 --> 23:47.780 Thank you . Report book . Thank you , 23:47.780 --> 23:51.580 David . All right . Alrighty . Um 23:51.590 --> 23:53.423 so I think we've got a couple of 23:53.423 --> 23:56.290 minutes for some questions . So , um 23:56.300 --> 23:58.356 we'll take questions from anybody in 23:58.356 --> 24:02.200 the audience and 24:02.210 --> 24:05.860 there's a microphone . Well , thank you . 24:06.440 --> 24:09.070 Uh this questions for Lieutenant 24:09.070 --> 24:11.540 General Evans uh part of building a 24:11.540 --> 24:14.950 quality housing for soldiers is housing 24:14.950 --> 24:17.006 data management . Does the army have 24:17.006 --> 24:19.270 future plans to integrate the various 24:19.270 --> 24:21.520 status systems ? Like is our plans and 24:21.520 --> 24:24.240 HQ is into a more synchronized system 24:24.350 --> 24:26.220 so that the data can talk better 24:26.230 --> 24:27.397 amongst each other . 24:31.740 --> 24:33.962 So the answer to your question is yes , 24:33.962 --> 24:36.700 uh that that system will be builder and 24:36.700 --> 24:38.922 then I will pass to general gave him in 24:38.922 --> 24:40.978 case he wants to comment on that and 24:40.978 --> 24:42.922 then he can pass the core engineer 24:42.922 --> 24:45.360 solar . Yeah . So it's gonna it's gonna 24:45.360 --> 24:47.730 be builder . There's going to be some 24:47.730 --> 24:50.320 variations of that . But , but you can 24:50.320 --> 24:54.120 see just uh dr pitman's point about 24:54.130 --> 24:56.074 analytics , how important they are 24:56.074 --> 24:58.074 because we got to know , we have to 24:58.074 --> 25:00.297 understand what's broke to fix it . And 25:00.297 --> 25:02.408 then we only got so much money in the 25:02.408 --> 25:04.686 facility investment plan , for example , 25:04.686 --> 25:07.310 which really , um , the analytics falls 25:07.310 --> 25:10.780 under that . We have a $68 billion 25:10.780 --> 25:14.740 2030 and we got about 25:14.740 --> 25:17.400 15 billion about so we have to 25:17.400 --> 25:19.910 prioritize and we have to understand to 25:19.910 --> 25:21.966 your to your point is we have to put 25:21.966 --> 25:24.021 the right money in the right place . 25:25.540 --> 25:27.651 Yeah . So we're gonna take you to the 25:27.651 --> 25:29.762 next level two . So we're going to do 25:29.762 --> 25:31.929 is the sms to gather all that data and 25:31.929 --> 25:34.151 predict how long it's gonna last and do 25:34.151 --> 25:33.870 that . What he talked about decisions 25:33.870 --> 25:35.940 on investments over time , but they 25:35.940 --> 25:37.940 were actually going to put a lot of 25:37.940 --> 25:40.162 artificial intelligence on it as well . 25:40.162 --> 25:42.273 We bring in all other systems in with 25:42.273 --> 25:42.160 those smart buildings and systems that 25:42.160 --> 25:44.700 we have built into our buildings and do 25:44.700 --> 25:46.533 a much better prediction on that 25:46.533 --> 25:48.700 because they don't have enough money . 25:48.700 --> 25:48.600 The army doesn't have enough money to 25:48.600 --> 25:50.656 run our installations over time . So 25:50.656 --> 25:52.767 we're gonna get a lot more bang for a 25:52.767 --> 25:54.933 buck as we integrate all these systems 25:54.933 --> 25:57.044 using artificial intelligence and big 25:57.044 --> 25:59.044 data at the same time . All right . 25:59.044 --> 26:01.860 Well we've got time for one more . Um 26:02.340 --> 26:04.540 Thank you . I think this is a question 26:04.540 --> 26:06.940 that probably starts with general Evans 26:06.940 --> 26:09.040 and maybe it's for the panel . Could 26:09.040 --> 26:11.151 you provide a little additional color 26:11.640 --> 26:15.570 about projecting power from 26:15.570 --> 26:17.181 installations in a contested 26:17.181 --> 26:19.360 environment ? I think the threat is 26:19.360 --> 26:21.527 there with M . D . O . But I'd like to 26:21.527 --> 26:23.680 hear any any specifics that you might 26:23.690 --> 26:26.910 be able to discuss here . So it's a 26:26.910 --> 26:29.810 great question . A lot of color would 26:29.820 --> 26:32.220 be control systems , Army control 26:32.220 --> 26:35.600 systems . And I think that um and as 26:35.600 --> 26:38.410 well as um really the energy and water 26:38.410 --> 26:40.577 resiliency of the systems that we have 26:40.577 --> 26:42.466 on installation and we talk about 26:42.466 --> 26:45.210 control systems . I think we all seen 26:45.260 --> 26:47.204 what happened with Colonial Park . 26:47.204 --> 26:49.700 Right . And so um from a from a 26:49.700 --> 26:52.270 facilities related control system . Uh 26:52.280 --> 26:54.502 We have a similar a similar problem and 26:54.502 --> 26:56.724 I'm just giving an example and you have 26:56.724 --> 26:59.020 control systems that med . Com has on 26:59.020 --> 27:00.964 an installation . You have weapons 27:00.964 --> 27:03.130 systems that are control systems um 27:03.140 --> 27:05.362 that are on an installation and they're 27:05.362 --> 27:07.473 all subject to the M . D . O . And so 27:07.473 --> 27:09.700 um what we're doing now is aggressively 27:09.710 --> 27:13.550 one is accounting for him . Um and 27:13.550 --> 27:15.960 to making sure working with the C . I . 27:15.960 --> 27:18.330 O . G . Six and other stakeholders do 27:18.330 --> 27:20.441 we have the right ones that are on on 27:20.441 --> 27:22.990 the network . And are they approved to 27:22.990 --> 27:24.823 be on the network because you're 27:24.823 --> 27:27.690 vulnerable . Right . Um So that's a 27:27.690 --> 27:30.240 classic example that problem that we 27:30.240 --> 27:32.462 have to get our arms around when you're 27:32.462 --> 27:34.296 talking about projecting power . 27:34.296 --> 27:38.040 Because if you're if your utilities are 27:38.040 --> 27:40.040 running on control systems and your 27:40.040 --> 27:42.207 control system is compromised , you're 27:42.207 --> 27:44.429 not gonna project too much power off of 27:44.429 --> 27:46.596 an installation . How are you ? You're 27:46.596 --> 27:48.651 probably not gonna be able to do the 27:48.651 --> 27:50.707 routine or the priority mobilization 27:50.707 --> 27:52.373 activities you do when you're 27:52.373 --> 27:54.850 mobilizing um the compost . And so that 27:54.860 --> 27:56.916 that that would be an example that I 27:56.916 --> 27:59.027 can provide to you . Does that answer 27:59.027 --> 28:01.870 your question , sir ? He needs a 28:01.870 --> 28:04.480 microphone . Yeah , I think it did . 28:04.610 --> 28:06.832 And if I could just if I could just top 28:06.832 --> 28:09.090 that off what the army , Navy and Air 28:09.090 --> 28:12.890 Force are doing um is uh conducting 28:12.890 --> 28:15.001 Black Start exercises . We find we're 28:15.001 --> 28:17.700 so dependent upon power and energy to 28:17.700 --> 28:19.589 the things that general Evans was 28:19.589 --> 28:21.770 talking about that were purposely 28:21.780 --> 28:23.836 unplugging from the grid to test our 28:23.836 --> 28:25.947 various backup systems uh to see what 28:25.947 --> 28:28.169 happens with control systems and things 28:28.169 --> 28:30.391 like that . Hey folks , this has been a 28:30.391 --> 28:32.391 great words corner . I just want to 28:32.391 --> 28:34.558 leave you with the message on the last 28:34.558 --> 28:36.502 slide . Three items , installation 28:36.502 --> 28:38.850 operations are critical to Army success . 28:38.850 --> 28:40.906 I hope hopefully that's come through 28:40.906 --> 28:43.540 clearly installations without a doubt 28:43.540 --> 28:45.762 have to modernize to support the army's 28:45.762 --> 28:48.030 mission and you know , we also need to 28:48.030 --> 28:50.252 rely on our communities and in industry 28:50.252 --> 28:52.308 to , uh , partner with us . So thank 28:52.308 --> 28:54.363 you very much . I'd like to thank my 28:54.363 --> 28:56.530 three , uh , panelists , uh , for this 28:56.530 --> 28:58.641 great session , and thank you for the 28:58.641 --> 28:58.050 crowd . Thank you .
