AUSTRALIAN ARMY

2009-06-20T07:40:00.000-07:00

The rapid improvements in the ability of soldiers, units and headquarters to share information in the last decade has challenged our traditional approaches to command and control. The approaches of the 1970s and 1980s are no longer appropriate in an age of blackberries and weblogs. The duplication of functions at different headquarters, the multiple layers of headquarters, has often slowed the passage of information within Army and affected our capacity to adapt and respond to changes in the security environment.

At the same time, the tremendous developments in the ADF's joint command and control have necessitated a re-examination of how Army conducts its force generation and preparation for operations and contingencies.

To address these issues, Army will commence an initiative called Adaptive Army. Under this initiative, the Australian Army will restructure its higher command and control arrangements. The principal aims of this restructuring are for Army to better array its force elements to deal with the ADF's evolved command and control structures, more efficiently conduct force generation and preparation and, simultaneously, to master the different learning loops that enhance our adaptive capacity. Adaptive Army contains several key measures that will improve Army's ability to achieve these goals.

The restructuring of Army will be a phased activity and will be executed concurrently with our force preparation of force elements for operational commitments and contingencies.

The restructuring in Army is planned to take place 2009-2010. There will much to achieve in that time. However, this evolution of Army's Functional Commands better position the Army to conduct our responsibilities for force generation and preparation while ensuring the most effective and transparent utilisation of resources. The changes described here will ensure that Army is better able to adapt and respond to the challenges of generating and preparing land forces for 21st century operations.

THE PENTAGON

2009-06-20T07:12:00.000-07:00

Overview

Headquarters of the Department of Defense, the Pentagon is one of the world's largest office buildings. It is twice the size of the Merchandise Mart in Chicago, and has three times the floor space of the Empire State Building in New York. The National Capitol could fit into any one of the five wedge-shaped sections. There are very few people throughout the United States who do not have some knowledge of the Pentagon. Many have followed news stories emanating from the defense establishment housed in this building. However, relatively few people have had the opportunity to visit with us.

The Pentagon is virtually a city in itself. Approximately 23,000 employees, both military and civilian, contribute to the planning and execution of the defense of our country. These people arrive daily from Washington, D.C. and its suburbs over approximately 30 miles of access highways, including express bus lanes and one of the newest subway systems in our country. They ride past 200 acres of lawn to park approximately 8,770 cars in 16 parking lots; climb 131 stairways or ride 19 escalators to reach offices that occupy 3,705,793 square feet. While in the building, they tell time by 4,200 clocks, drink from 691 water fountains, utilize 284 rest rooms, consume 4,500 cups of coffee, 1,700 pints of milk and 6,800 soft drinks prepared or served by a restaurant staff of 230 persons and dispensed in 1 dining room, 2 cafeterias, 6 snack bars, and an outdoor snack bar. The restaurant service is a privately run civilian operation under contract to the Pentagon.

Over 200,000 telephone calls are made daily through phones connected by 100,000 miles of telephone cable. The Defense Post Office handles about 1,200,000 pieces of mail monthly. Various libraries support our personnel in research and completion of their work. The Army Library alone provides 300,000 publications and 1,700 periodicals in various languages.

Stripped of its occupants, furniture and various decorations, the building alone is an extraordinary structure. Built during the early years of World War II, it is still thought of as one of the most efficient office buildings in the world. Despite 17.5 miles of corridors it takes only seven minutes to walk between any two points in the building.

The original site was nothing more than wasteland, swamps and dumps. 5.5 million cubic yards of earth, and 41,492 concrete piles contributed to the foundation of the building. Additionally, 680,000 tons of sand and gravel, dredged from the nearby Potomac River, were processed into 435,000 cubic yards of concrete and molded into the Pentagon form. The building was constructed in the remarkably short time of 16 months and completed on January 15, 1943 at an approximate cost of $83 million. It consolidated 17 buildings of the War Department and returned its investment within seven years.

We hope this information will serve to eliminate some of the myths surrounding the Pentagon and give an appreciation of the size of the building.
