Download or read book Reserve Component Joint Officer Qualification Requirements written by Robert Langol and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986 (GNA) requires active component (AC) military officers to achieve joint qualification prior to promotion to general or flag officer rank. The statute does not extend this requirement to the reserve components (RC). Instead, the GNA requires the Secretary of Defense to establish personnel policies emphasizing joint education and experience for RC officers. These policies are to be as similar as practicable to those established for AC officers by Congress. Two decades after passage of the GNA, the Commission on the National Guard and Reserves (CNGR) recommended Congress require RC officers to achieve joint qualification prior to nomination for general or flag officer rank. While neither the Secretary of Defense nor the U.S. Congress have acted on this recommendation, the concept continues to garner attention among RC leaders. Before seeking statutory change, DOD should confirm and quantify requirements for RC officers with joint education and experience. Establishing new requirements incrementally, through policy rather than legislation, could enhance the joint experience and education of RC officers while mitigating risk and providing additional time to measure the effects on the RC officer corps.
Download or read book Framing a Strategic Approach for Reserve Component Joint Officer Management written by Harry Thie and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2006 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research frames a strategic approach to reserve joint officer management that addresses the requirements for, and the supply of, joint officers in the reserve component, and also accounts for the unique constraints and challenges involved in joint officer management for reserve active-status list officers. Because the work required of many reservists is becoming increasingly joint, the need for a systematic examination of how reserve active-status list officers are trained and developed in joint matters is becoming more and more urgent-especially given the dramatic increase in the use of the reserve forces. A strategic approach to joint officer management for reserve active-status list officers must assess the need for officers with prior joint knowledge, experience, and acculturation in certain positions as well as their availability. The authors estimate the supply of joint reserve officers and make several recommendations to help implement a strategic approach to reserve component joint officer management.
Download or read book Reserve Joint Officer Qualification System written by Kenneth Olivo and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986 created a statutory scheme that directed the four services to develop a cadre of officers, on the active duty list, that were proficient in joint matters. The goal was to develop, within the armed forces, a capability to operate on a joint, integrated basis. Military successes over the past several years testify to the effectiveness of the mandates of the Act. In recent years, however, the requirements levied on the Department of Defense to maintain a high operational tempo in support of the current operations, has placed a greater demand on the services to supply an even greater number of officers with joint qualifications. Reserve officers have been filling this need in greater numbers over the years. However, there is no mandatory legislation, effective regulations, or policies that govern reserve joint officer management, education and reserve joint officer qualification. A mandatory comprehensive approach to reserve joint officer management is needed at the strategic level. The reserve components must effectively evolve and be properly educated and managed to allow the Department of Defense to effectively utilize those reserve component assets as the United States faces the new national security challenges today and in the foreseeable future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DoD) management processes for active component joint duty assignments, education, and training were built around the solid foundation provided by the Goldwater-Nichols Act (GNA) of 1986. However, it is being increasingly recognized that the current approach to joint matters needs to evolve from its current static format to a more dynamic approach that broadens the definitions of "joint matters" and "joint qualifications" and allows for multiple paths to growing the number of joint officers. An important extension of the current strategic plan is a more explicit and strategic consideration of reserve component joint officer management. The need for a systematic examination of how reserve component joint officers are trained and developed is becoming increasingly urgent, given the dramatic increase in the use of the reserve forces. Building on work done earlier for the active component with respect to joint officer management, this research focuses on framing a strategic approach to reserve joint officer management that does the following: (1) addresses the requirements for and the supply of joint officers for the reserve component, and (2) accounts for the unique constraints of and challenges to reserve joint officer management. A strategic approach for reserve component joint officer management must deliberately determine which jobs require joint experience or which provide it. In particular, given the current strategic intent of the DoD with respect to jointness ("push it to its lowest appropriate level"), the need for joint experience should be measurable in a much larger number of billets, in particular in billets internal to the service. Moreover, valid joint experience might now be provided by service in billets internal to the services, particularly those associated with Joint Task Forces (JTFs), with service component commands, and with joint planning and operations.
Download or read book JPME for Reserve Component Officers written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current Reserve Component officer management and education programs have failed to provide the Combatant Commanders with the RC officers they need. These programs will continue to fail unless the Department of Defense (DOD) addresses specific issues. This paper provides a broad overview of the existing Joint Professional Military Education (JPME), outlines the Combatant Commanders requirement for RC joint officers and reviews the efforts that have been made to establish a RC joint developmental program. Additionally, this paper considers how these efforts have come up short to date and related issues that could compound the problem. Finally, it presents recommendations, along with associated counter arguments, necessary to provide the Combatant Commanders with the trained RC officers they need.

Conley and published by RAND Corporation. This book was released on 2008 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Today's active-duty military has become progressively more joint. But in recent years, U.S. joint military activities have also seen higher participation rates by reserve component general and flag officers, senior civilians, and senior noncommissioned officers. This report examines the preparation of reserve component general and flag officers, senior civilians, and senior noncommissioned officers for participation in joint military activities. The authors interviewed a select group of senior people who had served at the highest executive levels of DoD and a number of senior members who had been identified as being exemplars with respect to participating in joint activities. They then used this information to develop their recommendations and worked with the appropriate OSD staffs to link them to possible initiatives." -- publisher's website.
Download or read book Victory On The Potomac written by James R. Locher and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 552 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: War is waged not only on battlefields. In the mid-1980s a high-stakes political struggle to redesign the relationships among the president, secretary of defense, Joint Chiefs of Staff, chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and warfighting commanders in the field resulted in the Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986. Author James R. Locher III played a key role in the congressional effort to repair a dysfunctional military whose interservice squabbling had cost American taxpayers billions of dollars and put the lives of thousands of servicemen and women at risk. Victory on this front helped make possible the military successes the United States has enjoyed since the passage of the bill and to prepare it for the challenges it must still face.Victory on the Potomac provides the first detailed history of how Congress unified the Pentagon and does so with the benefit of an insider's view. In a fast-paced account that reads like a novel, Locher follows the bill through congressional committee to final passage, making clear that the process is neither abstract nor automatic. His vivid descriptions bring to life the amazing cast of this real-life drama, from the straight-shooting chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Barry Goldwater, to the peevishly stubborn secretary of defense, Caspear Weinberger.Locher's analysis of political maneuvering and bureaucratic infighting will fascinate anyone who has an interest in how government works, and his understanding of the stakes in military reorganization will make clear why this legislative victory meant so much to American military capability. James R. Locher III, a graduate of West Point and Harvard Business School began his career in Washington as an executive trainee in the Office of the Secretary of Defense. He has worked in the White House, the Pentagon, and the Senate. During the period covered by this book, he was a staff member for the Senate Committee on Armed Services. Since then, he has served as an assistant secretary of defense in the first Bush and the early Clinton administrations. Currently, he works as a consultant and lecturer on defense matters.
