This book was released on 1992 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report documents RAND research into the time it takes Reserve Component (RC) Support units (e.g., transportation personnel, engineers, military police, artillery personnel) to mobilize and prepare for deployment. The analyses are based on empirical data from 606 units that were called to duty during the Persian Gulf War in Operation Desert Shield (ODS). They provide a systematic method for estimating the post-mobilization preparation times of diverse types of support units. The analysis shows that the times depend on the unit's branch, size (weight of equipment), and mode of transportation (air or sea). Units deploying by air can be ready very quickly (8 to 25 days from call-up to the point when they are ready to load equipment for overseas shipment). Units deploying by sea take longer to prepare (typically 30 days, but up to 10 days more for heavy artillery units), but have more flexibility because they can continue some training while their equipment is in transit to the theater. The report illustrates how the results can make large differences in Active Reserve allocation decisions. The methodology, which was applied here to a notional Southwest Asia scenario, will allow defense planners to determine whether particular types of RC units can be available in time to respond to future contingencies. Section 2 provides an overview of ODS from the perspective of this study and describes the mobilization process followed by a typical RC unit in preparing for that operation. Section 3 describes the database used to support the quantitative analysis of the preparation times. Section 4 presents that analysis for units deploying by air and sea. Section 5 offers an example illustrating how the approach used here can help determine the division of support units between the Active and Reserve Components. The final section offers conclusions. (10 tables, 6 figures, 5 refs.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States has responded to recent changes in the international political scene by beginning to reduce military forces. As forces are reduced, questions arise about their structure, particularly the balance between reserve and active forces. Active Component (AC) forces can respond on short notice but are expensive; reserve forces are more economical but tend to be less ready and would take more time to deploy. Vigorous debate has ensued about the share of the future Army force structure that should be accorded to each type of force. That debate frequently centers on the responsiveness of the reserve forces and on the time required to train reserve combat elements before deployment. This report estimates how long it takes Reserve Component (RC) combat forces to prepare for deployment to a wartime theater. It draws on four main sources of information: (1) Information on the train-up process of the three National Guard round-out brigades that were activated for service in Operation Desert Shield/Storm; (2) Analyses and projections of RC training times made by the Department of the Army Inspector General; (3) Training plans followed by AC units during peacetime to sustain readiness; and (4) An extensive series of interviews with both AC and RC personnel and observations of the 1992 summer Annual Training cycle for National Guard brigades. The analysis first defines 12 post-mobilization activities that RC combat units must complete following mobilization. It then estimates the time needed for the 12 activities under three scenarios (optimistic, intermediate, and pessimistic) that vary in assumptions about future RC peacetime training proficiency. The report finds that the optimistic case will require 79 days, the intermediate case 104 days, and the pessimistic case 128 days. These estimates assume that leadership can complete its training in parallel with troop training and that adequate training support from the AC will be available. (11 tables, 17 refs.).

Book excerpt: The Army's strategy for training its reserve component (RC) calls for units to conduct training on the primary missions for which they were organized and designed as well as the missions units are assigned in support of ongoing operations. The training is to be conducted over a 5-year cycle with a focus on primary missions during the early years and assigned missions during the later years. This report assessed the extent to which: (1) the Army is able to execute its strategy for training RC forces for their primary and assigned missions; (2) mobilization and deployment laws, reg¿s., and policies impact the Army's ability to train and employ these forces; and (3) access to mil. schools and skill training facilities and ranges affects the preparation of RC forces.

The training is to be conducted over a 5-year cycle with a focus on primary missions during the early years and assigned missions during the later years. In response to mandates, GAO assessed the extent to which (1) the Army is able to execute its strategy for training reserve component forces for their primary and assigned missions; (2) mobilization and deployment laws, regulations, goals, and policies impact the Army's ability to train and employ these forces; and (3) access to military schools and skill training facilities and ranges affects the preparation of reserve component forces. To address these objectives, GAO analyzed relevant training strategies and policies, laws, and data and surveyed 22 Army reserve component units returning from deployments in the past 12 months. To help assure that the Army maximizes the efficiency and effectiveness of its training, GAO recommends that DOD and the Army evaluate and adjust its training strategy and mobilization policy, and determine the range of resources and support necessary to fully implement the training strategy.

Book excerpt: The Army Reserve Component (RC) has a major role in America's Global War on Terror (GWOT). Over the past decade and a half, the Army National Guard (ARNG) and the United States Army Reserve (USAR) have mobilized hundreds of thousands of Soldiers in support of contingency operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as to numerous other missions worldwide and throughout the Continental United States (CONUS). They have proven their capabilities and exceeded operational expectations, successfully transitioning from the strategic reserve force of the Cold War era to a well-trained and experienced operational reserve force of the GWOT era. The problem facing the Department of Defense (DOD), is determining the future utilization of RC forces, specifically their operational role, their implementation, and the development of a suitable mobilization authority that will support a broad spectrum of future operational requirements. This monograph presents two primary arguments. First, the Army RC should continue its role as an operational reserve in support of future operational requirements. Second, continuing the use of the Army RC as an operational reserve requires the implementation of a new mobilization authority, one that will be more lasting, functional, and suitable for the current operating environment. This monograph presents two key proposals including the sustainment of the RC as an operational reserve, and a comprehensive plan for the implementation of a new mobilization authority. The action plan for these proposals includes a recommended framework and guidelines for a new mobilization authority that will achieve the goals of maintaining the use of RC forces as an operational reserve while modernizing the mobilization process to meet the demands of the current operating environment. A new and improved mobilization authority will allow Army RC forces to remain ready, reliable and relevant, capable of supporting future operational requirements of the 21st century. This monograph presents two primary arguments. First, the Army RC should continue its role as an operational reserve in support of future operational requirements. Second, continuing the use of the Army RC as an operational reserve requires the implementation of a new mobilization authority, one that will be more lasting, functional, and suitable for the current operating environment. There are five principal factors supporting the continued use of the Army RC as an operational reserve. First, over three quarters of a million Army RC Soldiers representing a large scale of ARNG and USAR units have mobilized since September 11, 2001 (9/11) in support of OEF, OIF, OND, and ONE, demonstrating the proven capabilities and very significant operational role of the Army RC in America's GWOT. 2 Second, as the Regular Army (RA) decreases its end strength, projected to fall to as low as 440,000 to 450,000 Soldiers by 2019, the RC can expect ongoing mobilizations and a substantial operational role. Third, current force structure allocations include a large volume of the Army's critical support units in the RC, including sustainment units and those historically categorized as combat support (i.e., chemical, engineer, military police, and signal units), as well as civil affairs and medical units. Maintaining such a large volume of the Army's support force structure in the RC increases the likelihood of their operational use for future operational requirements.

Book excerpt: This report describes RAND observations of the initial call-up of Army reserve units for Operation Desert Shield (ODS), the U.S. force buildup during the Persian Gulf war. It identifies problems and issues raised by ODS that could effect the Army's use of reserve forces in future contingencies and summarizes research issues that deserve further analysis as the Army is reconfigured for the post-Cold War environment. Operation Desert Shield (ODS) occasioned the first call-up of U.S. reserve forces in more than twenty years. Soon after Iraq invaded Kuwait on August 2, 1990, the United States deployed Army active component (AC) units and began to call Army reserve components (RC) units to duty. During the initial phase of ODS (August through October 1990), the Army called more than 22,000 RC personnel, representing 221 units that were either deployed overseas or used to fill Continental United States (CONUS) requirements to include critical slots vacated by deploying AC units. The types of RC units mobilized were those devoted to support functions needed early in the deployment, such as military police, chemical, transportation, linguistic, medical, ordnance, and quartermaster units. In some cases the appropriate unit types existed only in the RC.
