Campaign Plan 2011-2013

COMMAND TEAM MESSAGE
Tradition, Training, Transformation

This campaign plan describes my vision as Commanding General, United States Army Training Center and Fort Jackson to train Soldiers and other personnel in support of full spectrum operations and provide the highest possible Quality of Life for our Soldiers and their Families. This plan uses three Lines of Effort: Training, Quality of Life and Support and Sustainability. We will track progress along these Lines of Effort by using campaign objectives, major objectives, support tasks and key metrics.

The Fort Jackson campaign plan is nested with the Deputy Commanding General, Initial Military Training (DCG -IMT) campaign plan, and focuses on our primary output -Soldiers who are able to function effectively in their first unit of assignment. It also demonstrates Fort Jackson's commitment to the continuous improvement of all services and programs that support our Soldiers, Families and Partners in Excellence. This plan spans a three year period (2011-2013) and will be updated annually due to the rapid pace of change. It is applicable to the Army Training Center and all of our Partners in Excellence assigned to Fort Jackson.

I encourage each and every member of Fort Jackson to understand the ideas in our campaign plan, so you can contribute to improving Fort Jackson and our Army. You have my most sincere gratitude for your selfless service and all that you do to make Fort Jackson the Preeminent Training Center in TRADOC and an Army Community of Excellence award winner.

VICTORY STARTS HERE!

CAMPAIGN PLAN OPERATIONAL DESIGN
To better support an Army at war now and in the future, we will develop a laser focus on executing Initial Military Training, our core competency. To accomplish this we must embrace change by fostering a culture of innovation. As part of the Generating Force, we must emphasize our core sub-functions as the heart of what Fort Jackson delivers to the Army. We will accomplish our mission by building and sustaining our core sub-functions. The Fort Jackson Campaign Plan identifies leads for each Campaign and Major Objective nested within our three Lines of Effort.

LINES OF EFFORT
The Lines of Effort for our Campaign Plan describe similar, closely related core sub-functions, with actions and activities that link objectives in time and purpose. The Lines of Effort were developed to focus responsibility for, and cooperation among, like activities. Each Line of Effort has a dedicated champion (DCO, CoS and Garrison Commander) and a staff facilitator for achieving desired outcomes, establishing standards, and developing metrics.

ENDS, WAYS AND MEANS
This framework focuses thinking and provides direction. Adopting the Ends, Ways and Means framework allows Fort Jackson to express its strategy in a succinct, coherent and simple manner.

The ends of Fort Jackson's strategy: Fort Jackson's strategic vision consists of three overarching and interrelated strategies, or ends. The ends are to support ARFORGEN by focusing on IMT, our core competency; provide the highest quality of life possible for those who live and work here; and to improve, synchronize and integrate our support and sustainability operating systems supporting the IMT and Quality of Life ends. These explain what Fort Jackson does to support the TRADOC and DCG-IMT Campaign Plans.

The ways of Fort Jackson's strategy: The ways of our strategy are methods which achieve our ends. The ways are expressed as Campaign Objec-tives with associated Major Objectives and supporting tasks.

The means of Fort Jackson's strategy: The means of our strategy are the recourses and initiatives that enable us to achieve our ends. The means of Fort Jackson's strategy are our Chain of Command, Effective Strategic Communications and Knowledge Management.
