		Starting in 2008, USASOC plans to add 742 soldiers to the Operational Detachment Alphas (A Teams), 550 to the five active-duty special forces groups and 192 to the two Army National Guard groups.
		In the short term, before adding any additional soldiers, USASOC plans to shift its forces so that A Teams are available for operations rather than assisting in command and control, as is the case now.
		USASOC officials said the UAVs would be distributed primarily at the A Team level, though not all A Teams would get one.

		The center, which became a provisional organization on January 1, is a vehicle for Lieutenant General Phillip R. Kensinger Jr., commander, USASOC, to lead change, according to Vavra.
		The impetus for managing change comes from the very top in the Army, as Vavra refers to a quote from the Army’s top general—“You can’t manage change; it must be led,” said by General Peter J. Schoomaker, U.S. Army chief of staff.
