Active Component (AC) and Reserve Components (RC) Force Integration is critical in today's Total Army. The Army of soldiers, Active and Reserve, exists to play a key role in deterring aggression, and if that fails, to fight and win on the battlefield. This study starts with a look at the initiation of the Total Force policy and then on to the CAPSTONE program of today. The study then discusses statutes governing command and control issues. The essence of the study is a detailed analysis of a Reserve COSCOM comprising 247 subordinate units equally divided among the three Components. These units are located in 37 states, commanded by 15 state governors and 5 CONUSAs. The study focuses on the question, is the force structure conducive to training as the Army intends to fight. The conclusions are varied and among them are: wartime commanders are not assuming responsibility for their CAPSTONE units, peacetime requirements are distracting from wartime mission, and there are numerous unresolved training challenges. The study closes by recommending new peacetime command and control arrangements, increasing the involvement of the wartime chain of command, and the introduction of a new training initiative.

The Department of Defense (DoD) is at risk of being unable to meet its operational requirements. Ongoing budget and manpower reductions, combined with equipment recapitalization and increasing operational demands, present a situation that may become untenable to match finite resources against ballooning requirements. Fortunately, with the problem identified, many have begun seeking new and innovative ideas to overcome operational shortfalls. However, not many DoD leaders have considered utilizing the Reserve Component (RC) to support federal operations while in a training status. Historical precedence and legal restrictions have, until recently, kept RC training separate from operational missions. The laws and policies now allow and advocate utilizing the RC to augment operations while in a training status, but DoD must consolidate and codify guidance to institutionalize the RC Training/Operations Program. The program will help meet DoD operational requirements in a declining budget environment, alleviate stress on the active force, and, provide an as of yet unconsidered opportunity to hone and maintain RC wartime skills. Implementing the program inside the Defense Intelligence Community (IC) could net an additional 1,800 man-years of operational capacity per fiscal year. Once instituted, gaining access to RC at rest capacity will reap significant benefits across DoD. Turning this at rest capacity into effective strength gains is very inexpensive and easily within the department s grasp.

With the pending drawdown of United States military forces, the reliance placed on the Reserve Components of the Army has never been greater. The ability to rapidly mobilize to meet any future contingency will be paramount to the success or failure of the Army to project itself, and in doing so fulfill its role in achieving the national security objectives of the United States government. Mobilization is an extremely complex process which will be made more difficult by the fact that future mobilizations may occur very rapidly. We must continue to improve the process of centralized planning and decentralized execution of detailed, accurate, and well rehearsed mobilization plans for the Reserve Components if we in fact are going to insure that it is the KEY TO SUCCESS.

The planned reduction in force and restructuring of the Army active component (AC) will substantially affect the manning of the Army reserve components (RC). Historically, about 40 percent of the Army National Guard (ARNG) and 60 percent of the United States Army Reserve (USAR) soldiers have served an active-duty tour of service (Buddin and Grissmer, forthcoming). These prior-service soldiers provide the RC with a critical source of experienced, trained soldiers who can immediately enhance the readiness of the Selected Reserve at minimal cost. while the ultimate size and structure of the RC is uncertain, the planned changes in the AC will substantially alter the flow of trained personnel into the RC. In the short term, AC force reductions will increase the potential supply of those with prior service to the reserves. However, these 'laid off' soldiers might be reluctant to affiliate with a reserve unit because active service was unexpectedly cut short. In addition, most senior personnel departing from the AC are unlikely to join the RC because historically the reserves have had few unfilled positions in the senior ranks. Finally, the recent Desert Storm experience could make reserve service less attractive for personnel who may foresee the potential for future call-ups that might adversely affect their civilian employment or family situation.

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.

This report outlines plans for tests of the graphite stack during lay up in the pile structures. Measurements are planned upon completion of layers 20, 60, and 102, which will require not more than 16 hours each. The test method will require restriction of Construction personnel from the areas immediately adjacent to the pile. Precise boundaries will be set up in collaboration with H I Division personnel prior to the test.

This study accomplishes three things. First, it captures in a formal manner the experiences of the Army's first tri-component battalion, the 52nd Engineer Battalion. This ensures that the lessons learned, successes, challenges and overall results at the unit level for the period from tri-component reorganization in October 1999 to the present are recorded and available to planners, analysts, and leaders. Second, the study assesses the multi-component (MC) concept by extrapolating from the experience of the 52nd Engineer Battalion. The assessment is done in three approaches; against the stated goals of the MC concept, against a model for effective change within organizations, and finally using the Doctrine-Training-Leader development-Organization- Material-Soldier (DTLOMS) model for force management. The case study and the assessment form the basis for the third goal, a set of recommendations for the MC program, both in terms of the 52nd Engineer Battalion and the overall MC program. These study goals serve to show that the MC concept has tremendous potential to truly address some of the significant issues that have challenged AC/RC interaction for many years.
