Force development considerations

• Collective security requirement
• Retain military capabilities justified by the
  level of ambition.
• Operations in Allied (International) Coalition
  expeditionary forces.
• Modular, multifunctional, flexible units.
• Increase number of deployable combat elements.
• Enhance combat support and combat service support
  capabilities.
• Focus on Alliance shortfalls (bridging, MP, water
  purification).
• Focus on Niche capabilities (medical, CIMIC,
  NBC, SOF).
• Replace old, obsolete WP equipment with NATO
  compatible systems.
• Corps level support artillery, EW, AIFVs
  eliminated, MBTs downsized.
• Transformation, modernization, transition to
  voluntary based, fully professional armed forces.

7
Level of ambition(as a result of Defense Review)
NATO Article 5, EU operations, deployment with
all CS and CSS elements
Operations abroad
Four Gripens for Air-to-Ground tasks
Four transport helos
Two battalion size forces, max 1600 persons,
A-B-C rotation
Air policing
Specialization
One shot no rotation
Niche capabilities (Med, CIMIC, CBNR, SOF,
HUMINT, PSYOPS)

The long term approach of the HDF transformation
2004-2013
Cost-balanced 10-year Plan
PHASE I 2004 - 2006
PHASE II 2007 - 2010
PHASE III 2011 - 2013
9
Characteristics of phases

• THE FIRST PHASE2004-2006
• VOLUNTARY BASED, PROFESSIONAL FORCE
• To establish a new structure, and new
  dislocation
• To decrease the number of the garrisons and
  facilities
• To establish the framework of the manning ratios
• To start to equip NATO command and assigned units
  with state of arts military hardware in order to
  reach their full operational capability
• To withdraw the obsolete, surplus assets from
  service,
• To improve the working and living conditions.

10
Characteristics of phases
THE SECOND PHASE 2007-2010

• Training and preparedness
• To fully equip NATO command and assigned units
  with state of arts military hardware in order to
  reach their full operational capability.
• The military units meet the Allied and National
  requirements in accordance with their readiness
  category.
• The goal of achievements
• To stabilize manning level and the ratio within
  it.
• To reach average level of the Alliance in fields
  of operational capability, preparedness, and
  military hardware.

THE THIRD PHASE 2008-2013
11
Achievements in 2004

• Structural changes downsizing the force
• The number of personnel has been reduced (32 000
  in peacetime)
• Quality of training has been improved NCOs,
  contracted soldiers
• Acquisitions
• CIS assets, NBC protection assets, water
  purification equipment
• Vehicle program
• Disposal/withdrawal of surplus military hardware
• Infrastructural investments
• Garrison reconstructions
• Housing improvements of personnel
• NATINEADS facilities
• The last conscript soldier left the military
  service on November 03, 04!

12
New Budgetary conditions

• 42 Billion HUF defense budget cut in 2004
• Defense Review budgetary forecast for 2005 1.76
  ,
• for 2006 and onwards 1.81 GDP share
• (Governmental resolution, communicated to the
  Alliance)
• New (2004) forecast for 2005 1.27, for 2006
  1,24
• ... 2009 and onwards 1,41 GDP share
• Shortfall is approx 1.17 Billion HUF (4.8
  Million )
• for ten years, an average 24.7

Reasons increasing national budget deficit,
inflation decreasing efforts
Consequence new plan with new priorities
Note Billion HUF at 2004 prices level
13
Managing the problem

• Consequences
• Impact on the Level of Ambition
• Impact on capabilities, force structure
• Impact on NATO declared forces (FGs)
• Drastic saving policy is needed
• Conclusion Need to review the Level of Ambition,
  Scenarios, Concurrency, Capabilities to achieve,
  Force Proposals (Force Goals), Prague Capability
  Commitment
• (Done, DPQ correction prepared for
  Governmental approval)
• Priorities
• NATO/EU declared forces, (NRF/EU Battle Group),
  PSOs, modernization
