Book excerpt: Ongoing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have required the deployment of large numbers of Army National Guard and Army Reserve personnel. The Department of Defense (DOD) faces the unprecedented challenge of sustaining large-scale, long-duration operations with an all-volunteer military force. In addition, DOD's homeland defense missions have taken on higher priority, and National Guard forces have state responsibilities for homeland security activities as well as their traditional roles in responding to natural disasters. Over the past few years, GAO has examined the effects of ongoing military operations and domestic missions on the Army National Guard and Army Reserve. This statement, which draws on prior GAO work, focuses on (1) challenges in sustaining Army reserve component equipment and personnel readiness while supporting ongoing operations and (2) the extent to which the Army's planned transformation initiatives will alleviate equipment and personnel shortages and enhance readiness. The Army National Guard and Army Reserve have made significant contributions to ongoing military operations, but equipment shortages and personnel challenges have increased and, if left unattended, may hamper the reserves' preparedness for future overseas and domestic missions. To provide deployable units, the Army National Guard and the Army Reserve have transferred large quantities of personnel and equipment to deploying units, an approach that has resulted in growing shortages in nondeployed units. Also, reserve units have left significant quantities of equipment overseas and DOD has not yet developed plans to replace it. The Army National Guard reports that its units have less than one-third of their required equipment, and the Army Reserve reports that its units have about half of the modern equipment they need to deploy. These shortages could also adversely affect reserve units' ability to perform homeland defense missions and provide support to civil authorities in the event of natural disasters or terrorist attacks. The Army also faces shortages of personnel trained in some high-demand skills. These readiness challenges have occurred because the Army reserve components' role has shifted from a strategic reserve force to an operational force that is being used on an ongoing basis. However, DOD has not fully reassessed its equipment, personnel, and training needs and developed a new model for the reserves appropriate to the new strategic environment. GAO has made recommendations that DOD conduct a comprehensive reassessment of equipment, personnel, training, and funding requirements given the reserve components' shift to an operational role, but DOD's progress to date in addressing them has been limited. Without a comprehensive reassessment of equipment and personnel policies, the Army's reserve components may not be well prepared to deal with future events at home or abroad. The Army has begun two transformational initiatives intended to enhance reserve units' ability to conduct 21st century operations and plans to spend over $24 billion for equipment over the next 5 years. These initiatives are significant, but the extent to which they will alleviate equipment and personnel challenges is unclear. The Army faces challenges in managing both

This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army reserve components need a 'transformation' strategy. 'Army Transformation' is underway, focused on sustaining the Legacy Force during transformation, building an Interim Force, and ultimate conversion to an Objective Force. While the 'Army Transformation' strategy incorporates the reserve components generally, there is little specific focus on reserve transformation. The Army National Guard currently has 55% of the Army's combat forces, and together with the Army Reserve, 63% of the Army's combat support units and 68% of its combat service support units. To ensure that 'Army Transformation' contributes a land component to the 'Total Force' that is relevant, responsive, dominant, and capable of helping meet our national security needs in the volatile and uncertain environment of the 21st Century, an Army 'Reserve Components Transformation' must proceed apace with 'Army Transformation'. A 'Reserve Components Transformation' strategy should include initiatives to update, revise and realign the roles and missions of the Guard and Reserve, and to ensure technological and doctrinal advances, and other imperatives necessary for citizen-soldiers to remain a vital asset of 'The Army' and America's joint forces.

This book was released on 2014-11-01 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report is the rst step in a comprehensive reevaluation of the reserve components of the U.S. military in which the legislature and general public soon should join. In reviewing the past several decades of heavy use of the reserve components, most notably as an integral part of recent operations in Iraq, in Afghanistan, and in the homeland, the Commission has found indisputable and overwhelming evidence of the need for change. Policymakers and the military must break with outdated policies and processes and implement fundamental, thorough reforms. Many of today's profound challenges to the National Guard and Reserves will persist, notwithstanding force reductions in Iraq and Afghanistan. The need for major reforms is urgent regardless of the outcome of current con icts or the political turmoil surrounding them. The Commission believes the nation must look past the immediate and compelling challenges raised by these con icts and focus on the long-term future of the National Guard and Reserves and on the United States' enduring national security interests. In our nal report, the Commission rst assesses the necessity, feasibility, and sustainability of the so-called operational reserve, which is signi cantly different from the strategic reserve of the Cold War. We assess the unplanned evolution to an operational reserve. We then evaluate the factors that should in uence the decision whether to create a truly operational reserve force, including the threats to our nation in the current and emerging security environment; the military capabilities, both operational and strategic, necessary to keep America secure in this environment; the urgent scal challenges caused by the spiraling costs of mandatory entitlement programs and ever-increasing cost of military personnel; and the cost and value to the nation of the National Guard and Reserves. And we consider the challenges the nation faces in funding, personnel policy, recruiting, equipment shortages, and other obstacles to creating a sustainable operational reserve force. Second, we assess the Department of Defense's role in the homeland and whether it is clearly de ned and suf cient to protect the nation; the role that the reserve components, as part of DOD, and other interagency partners should play in preparing for and responding to domestic emergencies; the role and direction of U.S. Northern Command, the joint command in charge of federal homeland defense and civil support activities; the role that states and their governors should play in homeland response; the need to rebalance forces to better address homeland response needs; and the implications of these assessments for the readiness of the reserve components. Third, we examine what changes need to occur to enable DOD to better manage its most precious resource-its people. We consider what attributes of a modern personnel management strategy would create a true continuum of service; how reserve component personnel should be evaluated, promoted, and compensated; what educational and work opportunities they should be given to maximize the return to the nation from their service; how DOD should track the civilian skills of reserve component members; whether the active and reserve personnel management systems should be integrated; why the prompt establishment of an integrated pay and personnel system is urgent; how many duty statuses there should be; and what changes need to be made to the active and reserve retirement systems to ensure that both serve force management objectives and are sustainable. Fourth, we explore what changes need to be made to develop an operational reserve that is ready for its array of overseas and homeland missions.

Book excerpt: This book is an overview of the assessment of the reserve component of the U.S. military and its recommended changes to ensure that the National Guard and other reserve components are organised, trained, equipped, compensated and supported to best meet the needs of U.S. national security. The Commission on the National Guard and Reserves was established by the Ronald Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005. Through its enabling statute, Congress tasked this Commission to report on the roles and missions of the reserve components, on how their capabilities may be best used to achieve national security objectives, including homeland defence, on their compensation and benefits and on the effects of possible changes in these areas on military careers, readiness, recruitment, and retention, on traditional and alternative career paths, on their policies and funding for training and readiness, including medical and personal readiness, on the adequacy of funding for their equipment and personnel and on their organisation, structure, and overall funding. Congress has asked this Commission to provide it a road map to a strong, capable, sustainable reserve component. This book consists of public documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mission and role of the Reserve Component particularly the U.S. Army National Guard has dramatically changed over the last decade. While the typical RC soldier fully accepts his or her responsibility as a warrior on the battlefield during a declared armed conflict the ambiguity surrounding the increased number of peacekeeping missions operations supporting the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT) and the mission of the RC in Homeland Security post September 11th 2001 have generated the need to examine and define the role of the Army National Guard (ARNG). The purpose of this paper is to address the historic role of the ARNG and to discuss the recent shift in policy surrounding the use of the RC and ARNG in last decade for international Peacekeeping Operations. It will examine the changing role of the ARNG as it relates to Homeland Security (HLS). Furthermore it will discuss current and future ARNG force structure and make recommendations that will assist in defining the future part the ARNG will play in the National Military Strategy and in as we enter the 21st century.

Book excerpt: This paper examines the Army and Army Reserve future force plans, senior leader vision, Army Reserve history, structure, transformation, modernization, deployment and employment, and funding. It attempts to make some judgments on relevant policies and strategies and make actionable recommendations on the future of the Army Reserve. Culminating the first 100 years of its unique history, the Army Reserve has experienced an unprecedented and profound mobilization, operational tempo (OPTEMPO), and transformation while supporting the Army in the Global War on Terror (GWOT). Over six years of continuous deployments and sustained combat operations have severely stretched and stressed the nation's ground forces, including the Army Reserve. When the 2008 election ends, the political landscape will change again of course, and the Army Reserve, while now in the midst of transforming itself to an operational force, will undoubtedly find itself existing and functioning within the context of altered, if not new, policy and strategies that will affect how the Army continues to prosecute "the long war" - and perhaps with a severely constrained budget. Moreover, after military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan eventually end and military forces are subsequently withdrawn, the Army Reserve will need putting back together along with the rest of the Army. However, will we place the Army Reserve back on the proverbial shelf to become a strategic reserve of last resort again or continue using it as a valued and effective operational force for the next hundred years?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis I examine the role of the National Guard in supporting current National Security and National Military Strategy. I argue that the global security environment has changed drastically since the end of the Cold War making "Homeland Security" a primary mission for the military, specifically the National Guard. Concurrently, the unprecedented number of overseas deployments to perform peacekeeping missions has severely affected the active Army's combat capability. I argue that the US Army has not embraced the requirements for "Homeland Security," focusing instead on maintaining its 10 active division force structure. To meet the needs of National Military Strategy, the active Army has instead relied on the reserve components to perform overseas peacekeeping missions. I argue that the National Guard has also looked to performing these missions as a method of institutional survival. Together, both components have undermined the Constitutional underpinnings of the Reserve Component as a strategic reserve, to be mobilized in cases of "war or national emergency." I argue that making "Homeland Security" a primary federal mission of the National Guard, along with restructuring current combat, combat support, and combat service support ratios will allow the National Guard to support National Military Strategy and "Homeland Security."

This book was released on 2012-09-19 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Guard is an integral part of the military's operational force deployed around the world, and a first responder in case of a catastrophic disaster in the United States. The use of the Army National Guard has been evolving over the last decade, but for many of those years it has lacked modern equipment to conduct its federal and domestic missions. The September 11, 2001 attacks initiated the transformation of the Army National Guard for the 21st century. Over 255,000 National Guardsmen have deployed to either Iraq or Afghanistan as part of the Operational Force in support of the Regular Army. The multiple deployments for each contingency have depleted and worn out the Army National Guard, especially its equipment. The shortage of equipment throughout the Army National Guard has impacted its abilities to respond to domestic missions. While the Army National Guard augments the Regular Army, nondeployed units continue to execute their domestic missions in Homeland Defense, Homeland Security, and Civil Support. The response to Hurricane Katrina sparked renewed debate over the National Guard's domestic and federal missions and its equipment shortages. Hurricane Katrina made it evident the past several years that the Army National Guard's response to domestic missions has been hampered by the lack of proper equipment and the condition of equipment it has on hand. This paper explores the complexity of defining the National Guard's domestic and federal missions. Furthermore, it provides the background of equipment shortages found throughout the National Guard. The research reveals how the Army Force Generation model provides predictability for guardsmen about their potential deployment schedule; however, the model does not take into account the Army National Guard's domestic mission. The way forward for the Army National Guard to improve its execution of federal and domestic mission is the integration of dual-use equipment. This addition of dual-use equipment sets would increase the readiness posture of the Army National Guard. Finally, this paper provides recommendations on the future readiness of the Army National Guard to execute its dual missions. The National Guard's dual missions need to be refined clearly to articulate roles and responsibilities because there are several interpretations as what an Operational Force should be and how it should be resourced. In addition, the difficulty for the Army National Guard to delineate between Homeland Defense, Homeland Security, and support to Civil Authorities missions is complicated. Therefore, resourcing the Army National Guard to execute these missions will strengthen our nation's defenses at home and abroad.

Book excerpt: The Army National Guard (ARNG) and the United States Army Reserve (USAR) are an integral element of the total force and employed as an Operational force since Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), while resourced as a Strategic reserve. The current level of foreign and domestic operational demands exceed the available supply of Active Component forces and these demands will not decrease in the foreseeable future. In order to sufficiently meet the current and future operational demands, the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of the Army (DA) must transform the ARNG and USAR from a Strategic reserve to an Operational Reserve. This transformation requires fundamental reforms in Reserve Components (RC) homeland defense/homeland security roles and missions; personnel management systems, equipping and training policies, family and employer support policies, the organizations and structures used to manage the RC, and funding. The Department of the Army, the ARNG, and the USAR all fundamentally agree on the general definition of an Operational Reserve. However, there is not a consensus on the detailed objectives and metrics necessary to achieve the desired end state. This is one of several issues currently impeding progress in achieving this objective. The Department of the Army, the ARNG, and the USAR collectively must clearly define the specific attributes of an Operational Reserve to include the appropriate employment, support policies and resources. This paper will examine the work that DA has completed thus far. It will identify the strengths and weaknesses of the work as well as outline some detailed measurable attributes of an Operational Reserve. It will conclude with some specific changes DA must implement to the process and process oversight structure to achieve these objectives.
