Regionally Aligned Forces
In the United States Army, Regionally Aligned Forces (RAF) support Combatant Commands (CCMDs), which include the six Geographic Combatant Commands (GCCs) as well as the three functional combatant commands. RAFs provide tailored, trained and consistently available Army forces, responsive to all requirements, including operational missions, bilateral and multilateral military exercises and theater security cooperation activities.〔()〕 Army regional alignment is an organizing principle that improves the Army’s ability to provide units and capabilities. Regional alignment provides focus and direction for unit training and preparation. RAFs are drawn from the Army Total Force, which includes active United States Army, the Army National Guard and the United States Army Reserve.〔 Corps and divisions are aligned to ensure Joint Task Force capability to every GCC.〔(FM 3-22 Army Support To Security Cooperation )〕 Through regional alignment, the Army maintains its war-fighting skills and complements these skills with language, regional expertise and cultural awareness training.〔
== Overview ==
The 2010 U.S. National Security Strategy calls for strong security partnerships with allies and partners. The defense strategic guidance directs the U.S. military services to strengthen allied and partner relationships and to pursue new partnerships.〔(Sustaining Global Leadership: Priorities for 21st Century Defense )〕 The DOD asserts that regionally aligned, mission-tailored forces play an essential role in the defense strategic guidance, which rebalances forces towards the Asia-Pacific region while maintaining Army commitment to partners in and around the Middle East. Believing that partnerships are fundamental to regional and global security, and to ensure better and faster Army responsiveness to GCC security cooperation and operational requirements, the Chief of Staff of the Army, General Raymond T. Odierno, directed the Army to improve its ability to engage regionally with partners while remaining globally responsive.〔
The Army plans to remain capable of fighting and winning America's wars, by ensuring that it “… shall be organized, trained and equipped primarily for prompt and sustained combat incident to operations on land.” To better accomplish this Congressional directive within a global area of responsibility, DOD claims that regional alignment allows Army Forces to more efficiently organize themselves in strength and composition to best support each Geographic Combatant Commander, and to quickly deploy and sustain operations in support of Combatant Command requirements.〔 Importantly, DOD expected Army regional alignment to improve the Army’s ability to provide soldiers and capabilities to the GCCs, to help support the United States Department of State efforts to promote greater security and stability in regions and countries whose interests share a common vision of freedom and prosperity.〔〔〔(Security Sector Reform )〕 Following Department of State direction, and at GCC request for training and mentoring capabilities, Army Forces committed to devote resources to helping improve partner capacity to provide security to their populations; to serve as part of United Nation or coalition efforts; and to build stronger military institutions that are accountable to civilian authority and that respect the rule of law.〔〔
The regionally aligned force concept was to work within U.S. legal authorities established by the United States Congress, the Department of State, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense.〔
