Download or read book The Need to Ensure Training Readiness in the Total Force written by Rex Hall and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 75 pages. 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

Download or read book National Defense written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addressing the need for competent management of the Department of Defense (DOD) work force, GAO found that each service has developed its own manpower systems and policies; consequently, the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) has not issued a clearly defined total force policy. This report assesses DOD ability to manage in the most cost-effective way all available manpower resources, which include active and reserve military, civilian, and contractor personnel. GAO made this review because the importance of effective manpower management cannot be overstated in view of rising personnel costs. A well-defined total force policy implementing total force management could help Defense managers achieve maximum force readiness at minimum cost. The Air Force is the only service with a total force management system; the Army and Navy have only recently started to develop a total force management system. OSD could more effectively monitor and evaluate the total force if accurate and standard information were available. OSD presently depends on the services for its access to military and civilian information, but this information is often inaccurate and incomplete.

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.

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.

Download or read book Total Force: Improving Reserve Component Readiness written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a significant reduction in defense spending into the foreseeable future, the size of the active component armed services is going to shrink and the composition of the force is going to change. Out of necessity, the reserve component is going to assume a larger role in national security. The reserve component received mixed reviews for its performance during Desert Shield and Desert Storm and has an undistinguished history in the early stages of previous conflicts. This paper looks at ways to improve operational readiness of the reserve component in order to be better prepared for the next war. The paper focuses on the Army reserve component because it is the largest reserve component, the most diverse and the most controversial.
Book Synopsis The Total Force Policy and Effective Force by : Chris R. Downey
Download or read book The Total Force Policy and Effective Force written by Chris R. Downey and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This strategy research project concludes that current Department of Defense guidance for rebalancing will reverse the Total Force Policy in terms of its essential contributions to the effectiveness of US armed forces. An inductive analysis grounded in historical precedent indicates that the Total Force Policy supports the overall readiness and decisive use of military force. The Total Force Policy is not a Cold War or post-Vietnam anachronism but an essential ingredient to the successful application of military force. The goal of conducting rapid response operations without any reserve call-up or mobilization prior to commencement of operations will obviate the use of reserve forces within the construct of the typical joint campaign. This will cause a departure from the Total Force Policy's outcome of complementary active and reserve forces and reinstate the vision of redundant roles for reserves forces that predated intervention in Vietnam. Perceived shortfalls in the Total Force Policy come from failure to invest adequately in the readiness of reserve forces not from any intrinsic inability of reserves to support military operations. Instead of altering component roles the Army should focus on achieving a reserve component readiness posture that is on par with active component forces.

Download or read book Leveraging Advanced Technology in Army and Air Force Readiness and Sustainment Training written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Operational readiness and sustainment training allow military forces to be prepared for various types of contingency operations and provide for the primary means of protection and defense of United States national security interests. Readiness and sustainment training have suffered do to increased OPTEMPO and PERSTEMPO due to the rigors of missions and everyday operations, and complications brought on by budget, environmental and infrastructure constraints. This paper advocates the utilization of advanced distributed learning and distance learning in readiness and sustainment training. Advanced technology provides for a more learner-centric approach to training and can accelerate skills proficiency and retention of critical skills. This paper also examines DoD, Army and Air Force training doctrine, traditional vs non- traditional training, human resource and work place factors, cost effectiveness and benefits, and provides recommendations for capitalizing on alternative delivery platforms. The 1 March 2002 Strategic Plan for Transforming DoD Training touts the necessity of the Services, joint community, and OSD to exploit advanced technology in Total Force training. The increased use of alternative delivery training platforms will enable Army and Air Force personnel to become more effective and efficient in their job performance.

Book excerpt: This paper examines the force distribution and employment concepts of the United States Army Total Force. It lends a critical eye to the Minuteman paradigm and proposed changes in the way the United States Army augments the active forces with reserve components and reconstitutes in the event of mobilization. A framework is set that accounts for the changing environment of future military operations. Regional contingencies which require rapid response, vice the global war and graduated response, provides a new and essential role for the reserve component. Specifically, the Individual Ready Reserve and the National Guard assets are explored and alternatives are examined which speed the process of integrating reserve component forces into a theater, while providing highly trained and motivated forces to the CINC.

Download or read book Total Force Concept Requires 'Doers'--Not Advisors written by William J. Moran and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem was to determine the role that Active Army advisors to the Army National Guard (ARNG) should play in the Total Force Concept. Data was obtained by extensive research of literature, documents, and several interviews. The recent reorganization of the Army, was, in part, recognition that the Advisor program, by itself, was not capable of providing the degree of assistance required by the ARNG to meet its readiness requirements under the Total Force Concept. Research reveals a lack of experience in the ARNG Officer Corps to be the single most critical obstacle in the ARNG's efforts to assume missions previously assigned to Active units.
