18. IBCT CPR
(Assessment and Recommendations)
IBCT Strengths
 Strategic Mobility
 Operations in Restrictive Terrain
 Low Sustainment Requirement
 Forcible Entry Operations
 Joint/Multinational Interoperability
IBCT Weaknesses

 Mobile Protected Firepower Dev.
 Mission Command
 Nett Warrior / Network Enhancements
 Sustainment and Protection
 Small Unit Power Sust. Initiatives
 Sustainment Capacity in Austere Environments
 Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems Strategy
Integrated DOTMLPF initiatives will improve IBCT combat effectiveness

19. IBCT Mission and Operational Context
BCT Mission:
Disrupt or destroy enemy forces, control land areas including populations
and resources and conduct combat operations to protect US national
interests.
(SRC 77300R400)
IBCTs:
• Operate as part of a joint force
• Conduct Unified Land Operations under mission cmd of Div and Corps
• Depend on joint and Echelons Above Brigade assets
(Joint Operational Access Concept; AOC; Mvmt & Mnvr Functional Concept)
