Graphics: Future US Army Divisions (WayPoint 2028)
As part of research for a future video series, I made graphics depicting the proposed division organizations for the U.S. Army as part of WayPoint 2028. This is part of the Army's effort to refocus on division-centric large scale combat operations. The division types are the Joint Forcible Entry Division (Airborne and Air Assault), Light Division, Heavy Division, and Pene tration Division.

Along with reorganizing to become a division centric force, the Army is also looking into reorganizing its infantry squads to account for all the technology they’ll receive. Do you have any word on the Army infantry squad changing?
I do not right now, but someone in the know says they'll send me the new force structure supplementals that should have stuff on it whenever those get released.
I'm confused, the Airborne, Air Assault, and Light Infantry all have three circles at the bottom. Are they all going to be motorized or was that a technical error?
They are intended to be motorized with the Infantry Squad Vehicle, which is paradroppable and can be sling-loaded by UH-60s and CH-47s or internally loaded within the CH-47. They want 11 IBCTs equipped with them by 2025.
So what is going to happen with the Stryker Brigades? They are being upgraded starting this year with 30mm auto cannons and coax M240s, or a CROWS-J that will have a .50 cal and a Javelin. Yet no mention of them
They're listed in the Heavy Division.
