Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: The 30-year-old "Total Forces Policy" was designed to meet Cold War requirements; 10 years ago a total force policy remained important, but proved inadequate to meet the need for increased use of the reserve components (RC) in response to challenges posed by a smaller military, more diverse missions, and more frequent deployments. Since the mid-1990s, AC/RC integration programs and initiatives have successfully addressed many of the barriers to timely and effective mobilization and employment of a trained and ready reserve component. The current Army transformation, changing missions, and fiscal constraints will further redefine the role of the RC and the level of integration necessary to perform that role. The recommendations in this monograph suggest ways that the Army can ensure success in its future integration efforts, based on the transformation campaign plan; the evolution of the Army's vision of AC/RC integration; past and current efforts to achieve integration; accomplishments and failures of integration programs; and future integration issues for the transforming Army. These recommendations for supporting AC/RC integration during the transformation process and after the objective force is fielded follow four lines: (1) support and expand the most effective current programs while creating new programs; (2) avoid choosing roles and missions that segregate the force; (3) change the mobilization process to fit the transformed force; and (4) conduct periodic analyses to determine how the force is changing and the effects of that change on AC/RC integration. The most important of the specific recommendations are to (1) support the AC/RC Association Program and related activities, especially the Training Support XXI Program; (2) transform RC units, when possible, at the same time as their affiliated AC units are transformed; (3) support that portion of the Multivii component Units Program that research shows has an optimal chance of success and contributes to effective mission performance; (4) expand the Integrated Division Program; (5) in the context of mission specialization, avoid making any mission exclusively RC or AC when detrimental to the prestige or funding of a single component; (6) support Army Forces Command's changes to maximize the flexibility of the mobilization process; and (7) monitor the transformation process constantly for its impact on AC/RC integration and adjust as necessary to continue supporting an integrated Army.

Book excerpt: The U.S. Army has had a "Total Forces Policy" for over 30 years, with an increased focus for the past decade on what is now called Active Component/Reserve Component (AC/RC) integration. The modern version is distinguished by an increased frequency of inter-component training, the integration of reserve components into plans and operations for all contingencies, and RC participation in routine shaping operations. Recent successes in integration have come during a period of relative weapons platform and doctrinal stability, but the Army is now undergoing transformation, a period characterized by technological, organizational, and doctrinal turmoil, all of which threatens to undo AC/RC integration's many accomplishments. In the following monograph, Lieutenant Colonel Dallas Owens analyzes current integration programs and initiatives and evaluates them for their potential to resist transformation's possible threat to AC/RC integration.

The concept of "Total Forces Policy" is widely attributed to Defense Secretary Melvin Laird, who in 1970 directed that a Total Force be considered when planning, programming, manning, and equipping Defense Department forces. It was designed to meet Cold War requirements to fight a European war between huge mechanized militaries. Ten years ago a total force policy remained important, but proved inadequate to meet the need for increased use of the reserve components (RC) in response to challenges posed by a smaller military, more diverse missions, and more frequent deployments. Since the mid-i 990s, active component/reserve component (AC/RC) integration programs and initiatives have successfully addressed many of the barriers to timely and effective access to a trained and ready reserve component. Army transformation, changing missions, and fiscal constraints will further redefine the role of the RC and the level of integration necessary to perform that role.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thesis is that Army reserve component (RC) ground combat forces should be deployed for the next major regional contingency. These units must be combat ready. They can be through better integration of the active components (AC) and the RC. The author tracks the creation of the Total Force concept and issues raised by the Army's roundout units during Desert Storm. He briefly reviews the preparation and readiness of combat units from the other services. He also reviews timelines stating how long it takes to get RC combat units ready and the capability of strategic mobility to deploy them. The proposed solution is to integrate AC and RC by assigning them to the same units during peacetime. Earlier deployers would be mainly AC; later deployers would be mainly RC ...

Book excerpt: As cyberspace continues to play an important role in projection of military power, in an environment where the mission of tomorrow is ill defined and budgets are becoming constrained, there is an increasing need for a Total Force (AC/RC) concept. The existing and emerging requirements for Army Cyber Mission Forces (CMF) are currently greater than the Army's active component has personnel available or trained to support USCYBERCOM and ARCYBER requirements. The Army's RC is uniquely postured to fill current, midterm and longer-term cyber gap requirements, but it requires planning and investment now in training, development, and integrations of the RC CMF. Although moving cautiously, some of the distinct advantages many Reserve Component (USAR and ARNG) Soldiers have are their ties to the communities, full-time employment in the civilian information technology, and their dispersion across the country. Unlike centrally consolidated Title-10 (AC and USAR) organizations, with Homeland Defense and Defense Support to Civil Authorities requirements with limited authorities under the Posse Comitatus Act, the ARNG units can further assist local and state governmental agencies nationwide to defend critical infrastructure networks. These aspects further make the RC uniquely postured to fill current, midterm and longer-term cyber requirements, but it requires planning and investment now in training, development, and integrations of the RC CMF. This analysis accomplishes this through inspection of policy, current requirements, constructs, mission areas and initiatives for RC forces to determine the benefits or drawbacks to successful generation of a Total Force (AC/RC) CMF.This compilation includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.

Book excerpt: As the United States enters the twenty-first century, the National Security Strategy depends more on the Reserve Components than it ever has in the past. Friction between the Active Army and Reserve Components, particularly the Army National Guard, has reached its peak and is now showing evidence of healing. However, the process is far from being released from intensive care and becoming the cohesive team that the nation will need in the future. Combat readiness of both Army and Army National Guard units has been the theme of countless debates and professional opinions. How to measure that readiness draws further discussion and criticism from military professionals and elected officials alike. Readiness, force structure, allocation of resources and their equitable balance between the Active and Reserve components are critical elements in meeting guidance of the Army's Chief of Staff in becoming "The Army". However, the most difficult bridge to cross is the one that spans the cultural gap between these organizations and their leadership. This paper will examine the cultural division and its perceived causes as it relates to the four major measured areas of readiness. The focused areas will be those used in the current Army readiness reporting as in accordance with Army Regulations 220-1. It will also consider current missions and operational tempo rates assigned to both the Active and Reserve components and explore possible reassignments of these missions and roles.

This book was released on 2020-07-07 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While all U.S. military services have strived to achieve greater total force integration and a stronger total force culture across their active and reserve components, significant impediments limit the achievement of these objectives. Thus, the issue continues to capture the attention of policymakers who seek ways to overcome these impediments and facilitate greater integration. This priority has been addressed most recently by national commissions addressing the future of both the Army and the Air Force. While each of these sets of proposals provides ideas for enhancing integration and providing a greater total force culture, the proposals are neither complete nor fully reflective of all potentially relevant policies and practices. Further, the policy prescriptions are service specific and do not reflect broader insights that cut across services. Last, none of these efforts clearly define the desired purpose and end state for integration against which integration initiatives can be evaluated. For these reasons, a more comprehensive analysis is needed of policies and practices that can contribute to the ultimate objective of improving total force integration and achieving a total force culture. The objective of this study is to provide insights on policies that can foster cross-component integration and incentives for cross-component service that contribute to the most effective total force possible and benefit individual service members, as well as both the active and reserve components. The focus of this report is on factors that can increase cross-component knowledge and awareness, which contribute to achieving the larger goal of cross-component integration.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A 2002 Department of Defense (DoD) report stated that the military services developed or adopted many innovative approaches to unit structures and organization as force size changed and operational tempo increased. The report suggested that organizational concepts leading to a more flexible, capable force must be implemented more broadly to better capitalize on the capabilities and strengths of the reserve components. In particular, such organizational concepts include blending active component (AC) and reserve component (RC) workforces in military units. We define blending as any arrangement or event that brings active and reserve manpower together within organizations for a common purpose. At the organizational level where mission work is actually done, there is interest in workforce integration between the components.
