The current U.S. Army Transformation process has experienced
several changes due to operational commitments in the Global War on
Terror (GWOT) and different perceptions about required military
capabilities among political and military authorities. Nonetheless,
the change from a division-centric Army to a brigade-centric one
has remained an essential tenet of the Future Force. This change is
being implemented amidst ongoing operations in the GWOT. The
Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT), derived from the initial
concept of an Interim Force, has been employed both as a stop-gap
measure to fill immediate operational needs, and as a prototype to
test the design of the Future Force's brigade. An analysis of the
evolution and implementation of both, the brigade-centric
construct, and the SBCT's organization and capabilities, yields
valuable lessons learned from these parallel processes. The Spanish
Armed Forces are also involved in a transformational process, which
includes conversion of its brigades as an essential milestone.
Consequently, insights derived from U.S. Army experiences may prove
valuable for the ongoing Spanish Army transformation--as well as
for other armies attempting to implement similar changes. This
study presents several conclusions from the U.S. transformational
experience to a brigade-centric army, and lessons learned from the
evolution and operational commitments of the SBCT, presented in a
warfighting functions approach. The final result is ten
recommendations, derived from an analysis of the concepts and
practical experiences of the U.S. Army that might be applicable for
the Spanish Army transformation.
