Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was initially undertaken to determine a new organizational structure for the reserve components of the Army to promote more effective, standardized training. Research was conducted by consulting recent (1970-1980) sources such as congressional testimony, U.S. defense policy, current Army programs, official studies and reports, and the conclusions and recommendations of experienced military analysts. Preliminary review of the findings showed that such a restructuring cannot be performed in isolation, due to the Total Force Policy, but must rather be based on an analysis of the mission and organization of the Total Army. Additional research was then undertaken to determine the present legal basis for organizing both the Army and the Militia as referred to in the U.S. Constitution. A significant finding is that the U.S. Army is legally composed of one active and two reserve components--the Regular Army, the Army National Guard in the Service of the United States (ARNGUS) and the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR)--and the Militia consisting of the Army National Guard in the service of individual states (ARNG) and the Unorganized Militia consisting of every able-bodied male citizen between the ages of 17 and 45. Based on the research findings, the paper proposed a total force structural model which will integrate and standardize the organization, training and administration of the Total Army. (Author).

Book excerpt: "Forging a Total Force traces the evolution of the Guard and reserve from the Revolutionary War-era militias to today's operational reserve, an integral part of the nation's total force. In the early republic, the ideal of a citizen-solider, capable of taking the field with little or no training, predominated. The realities of modern combat slowly made it clear that a more professional force was required, but policy changes failed to keep up with that changing necessity. The nation struggled to provide adequate training and equipment to the reserve component throughout the Cold War until the idea of a Total Force, which integrated regular and reserve components, emerged and was achieved. It wasn't until the defense buildup of the 1980s that the ideal of a combat-ready reserve became reality. The core of this book focuses on what came next, from 1990 to 2011, with particular emphasis on the decade after 9/11. The Persian Gulf War demonstrated both the effectiveness of the reserve and the challenges it continued to face. The post-Cold War drawdown during the 1990s made the smaller active component more dependent on the reserves than it had been since the nation's founding. The reserve component proved itself yet again in the wars following 9/11, but also became strained as it became clear just how much the nation depended on its Guard and reserve. Finally, the authors detail the policy changes made midstream in an attempt to address issues with the overextended force, such as balancing training and deployment with civilian lives and careers, providing health care to reservists, and integrating the active and reserve components. The authors conclude by detailing the issues policymakers will face as they forge ahead with citizen-soldiers serving as an operational force."--Provided by publisher.

Book Synopsis The Reserve Component Role in the Total Force by : Jon S. Laurich
Download or read book The Reserve Component Role in the Total Force written by Jon S. Laurich and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Total Force Army of today is made up of both Active and Reserve Component forces. This concept was developed in the early 1970's by then-Army Chief of Staff Abrams. His plan was to integrate the Reserve Components into the Active Army force structure. Fully integrating the Reserve Components into the force structure was done for two reasons: First, it was the only way we could build a force that would present a credible counter to the Warsaw Pact; and second, it would ensure the country never again went to war without the Reserves. Out of this grew the roundout concept where Reserve Component forces, specifically the National Guard, rounded out the force structure of active duty units. This system worked well until the Gulf War, when these roundout units did not deploy with their parent active duty unit. Rather, they went to the National Training Center for postmobilization training and did not go to the Gulf. Since that time there has been an on-going debate on the role of the Reserve Components in the Total Army. Now, with budget considerations, domestic priorities, and a changing world situation forcing a Department of Defense-wide review of roles and missions, this debate is even more timely. This study looks at the history of the Total Force and argues that a thorough, unemotional review of the Total Force of the future is needed. It further argues that both Components have key roles to play in this Force. But the size of that role must be based on readiness and capability; and not on force structure, politics, or service parochialism.

This book was released on 2014-09-13 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is fighting a war in Afghanistan that has lasted longer than any war in its history. In this war, the United States military has relied heavily on the contributions of its reserve component because the active force is not large enough to handle the burden alone. The last time the draft provided augmentation to the active force was in 1973. Since then, the active force has become increasingly dependent upon the reserve components for augmentation. The evolution to a fully-integrated reserve component has been painful at times. From the Spanish-American War though the war in Vietnam, the United States relied partly on the draft to generate manpower for the forces that would go to war. After Vietnam, the U.S. adopted an all-volunteer force. The Total Force Policy relied on the reserve components to provide additional capability to the active forces for national emergencies. After the Persian Gulf War, the military had to make significant changes to laws and policies to ensure successful integration of the reserves for future conflicts, including the current war in Afghanistan. In every conflict of U.S. history, the performance of the reserve forces was proportional to their level of training readiness. Those conflicts where the reserve components did not perform as well as expected indicated poor training preparation of the reserves. The reserve leadership was not properly trained; the reserve units were not equipped to train properly; or the reserves were not utilized in a manner for which they were trained. Following each conflict, the perceived performance of the reserve components brought about changes to law and policies to address future issues. Laws and policies evolved to provide the framework for total force integration that we utilize as a nation, today. This book argues that the individual Services must systematically test the reserve components to ensure training readiness for the Total Force. Training readiness establishes the foundation for a solid relationship between the active and reserve forces of a Service thus ensuring our nation is prepared for future conflicts. Chapter One traces the roots of current policies affecting the reserve components developed from the Spanish-American War through the ending of the draft and the war in Vietnam. Chapter Two reviews the post-draft era and describes the further evolution of policies and legislation affecting the reserve components through the Persian Gulf War. Chapter Three explains the importance of sustaining training readiness of the reserves both for the current conflicts and in the future. Chapter Four concludes with recommendations for all Services to facilitate maintaining training readiness in the reserve components for future conflicts.
Book Synopsis The Future of the Citizen-Soldier Force by : Jeffrey Jacobs
Download or read book The Future of the Citizen-Soldier Force written by Jeffrey Jacobs and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 2021-11-21 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most significant post-Cold War issues is the future of the U.S. Army's reserve components. Although National Guard and Army Reserve units fought well in the first Persian Gulf war, Jeffrey Jacobs warns that Americans should not be sanguine about their ability to perform effectively in future conflicts. Having served in the active Army as well as both the Guard and the Reserve, Jacobs offers a unique perspective on the current missions, structure, and policies of the Army and the impact of the reserve system on its readiness for combat. From both active and reserve points of view, Jacobs describes the current limitations and deficiencies inherent in the separate structures of the Army's three disparate components. He finds the roots of many of the reserves' problems in their strong ties to traditions and politics. The solutions he proposes focus on integrating the three components into a true Total Army—in fact as well as in rhetoric. Such reforms will affect several sacred cows, including state control of the National Guard, the weekend drill system, and the geography-based reserve system. Much has been written about the reserves, but few recent writers have proposed such far-reaching reforms. Jacobs's controversial proposals will interest those who make, influence, and study military policy. Here is a stimulating and thought-provoking consideration of a vital aspect of America's defense posture.
Download or read book Total Force written by Charles E. Heller and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Never before in peacetime has the United States placed so much emphasis and reliance on the Armed Forces' Reserve Components. Since the Total Force Policy was introduced by Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird in 1970, this dependency has grown even more. The 1990 mobilization for OPERATION DESERT SHIELD and the follow-on offensive OPERATION DESERT STORM in 1991 validated the use of the Reserve Components for contingency operations and guaranteed the policy's extension for the foreseeable future. Yet, even with the renewed emphasis on the Reserve Components' roles, their legal basis, mission, mobilization, training, force structure, and relationship to their respective Active Component remain relatively little understood. There are relatively few, if any, single source references pertaining to these Reserve Component areas. This report responds to the growing strategic importance of the Armed Forces Reserve Components. Declining defense budgets leading to small Active Component forces, coupled with inherent dangers facing the world community in a multipolar world, makes the use of Reserve forces on a recurring basis a necessity. This is especially true for Reserve Combat Support and Combat Service Support Forces not readily available in the Active Components. In essence, because of the relatively short time in which contingency operations unfold, the Reserve Components have become the Nation's strategic reserve insurance policy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Vaisnava-sahajiya cult that arose in Bengal in the sixteenth century was an intensely emotional attempt to reconcile the sensual and the ascetic. Exploring the history and doctrine of this cult, Edward C. Dimock, Jr., examines the works of numerous poets who are the source of knowledge about this sect. Dimock examines the life of the saint Caitanya, the mad Baul singers, the doctrines of Tantrism, the origins of the figure of Radha, and the worship of Krishna. His study will appeal to students of the history of religion as well as of Indian culture. This edition includes a new Foreword by Wendy Doniger. "This is a magnificent book—painstakingly researched and gracefully written. . . . Professor Dimock's book is one of the most rewarding and stimulating studies to appear in recent years."—G. Richard Weldon, Journal of Asian Studies

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Total Force is at a zenith in active and reserve component integration. While the U.S. military faces budgetary cuts, the Services must place a high priority on systematically testing reserve component training to ensure readiness for the Total Force. This paper will review the development of laws and policies governing the use of reserve component forces as part of the all-volunteer force. Following the development of laws and policies is a historical analysis of the readiness and performance of reserve component combat forces during the Persian Gulf War. The paper argues that the individual Services should systematically test the reserve component forces to ensure training readiness for the Total Force. Testing training readiness during peacetime will ensure the Services have matched mission with capabilities and that forces trained are the right size for the training time that is available. The testing of the reserve components will ensure combat-ready reserve component forces, thus ensuring readiness for the Total Force."--Abstract
Book Synopsis Twenty-first Century Force by : Charles E. Heller
Download or read book Twenty-first Century Force written by Charles E. Heller and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report has one primary objective -- to retain and perhaps increase the Active Army's combat maneuver elements despite declining appropriations and end strength. The author builds a case for his alternative force structure by using the cyclical nature of the Army's history in the 20th century and the lessons learned in Operation Desert Shield/Storm. His analysis leads to a new force generation model of a two, not three, component 21st century Total Force - a Federal Army and a militia (the National Guard). The Federal Army is structured to perform forward presence, contingency operations and support base missions. It relies heavily on an integration of U.S. Army Reserve units and individuals in primarily support roles with additional domestic infrastructure missions. The National Guard maintains its combat maneuver structure, but has a reinforcing and reconstitution mission thus allowing it time to conduct post-mobilization training and concentrate on its state missions in peacetime."--Foreword
