Book excerpt: "Forging a Total Force traces the evolution of the Guard and reserve from the Revolutionary War-era militias to today's operational reserve, an integral part of the nation's total force. In the early republic, the ideal of a citizen-solider, capable of taking the field with little or no training, predominated. The realities of modern combat slowly made it clear that a more professional force was required, but policy changes failed to keep up with that changing necessity. The nation struggled to provide adequate training and equipment to the reserve component throughout the Cold War until the idea of a Total Force, which integrated regular and reserve components, emerged and was achieved. It wasn't until the defense buildup of the 1980s that the ideal of a combat-ready reserve became reality. The core of this book focuses on what came next, from 1990 to 2011, with particular emphasis on the decade after 9/11. The Persian Gulf War demonstrated both the effectiveness of the reserve and the challenges it continued to face. The post-Cold War drawdown during the 1990s made the smaller active component more dependent on the reserves than it had been since the nation's founding. The reserve component proved itself yet again in the wars following 9/11, but also became strained as it became clear just how much the nation depended on its Guard and reserve. Finally, the authors detail the policy changes made midstream in an attempt to address issues with the overextended force, such as balancing training and deployment with civilian lives and careers, providing health care to reservists, and integrating the active and reserve components. The authors conclude by detailing the issues policymakers will face as they forge ahead with citizen-soldiers serving as an operational force."--Provided by publisher.

Book excerpt: This paper examines the force distribution and employment concepts of the United States Army Total Force. It lends a critical eye to the Minuteman paradigm and proposed changes in the way the United States Army augments the active forces with reserve components and reconstitutes in the event of mobilization. A framework is set that accounts for the changing environment of future military operations. Regional contingencies which require rapid response, vice the global war and graduated response, provides a new and essential role for the reserve component. Specifically, the Individual Ready Reserve and the National Guard assets are explored and alternatives are examined which speed the process of integrating reserve component forces into a theater, while providing highly trained and motivated forces to the CINC.

Book excerpt: Since the Department of Defense adopted the Total Force Policy in the early 1970s, the military, especially the Army, has come to place unprecedented reliance on the National Guard and the Reserve. The policy mandated that the active and reserve forces become a single fighting force, a 'force in being', able to deploy rapidly and operate side by side whether in training or in combat. The balance between active and reserve components, the mix of units in the two components, the nature of the missions each was given, and the equipment and training needed to assure readiness--have been significant considerations for almost two decades. Recently, as a consequence of Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, the Total Force Policy has undergone its first real test. To assist researchers in gaining a better understanding of the Total Force Policy and its implementation within the Defense establishment, the United States Army War College Library presents Total Force: A Selected Bibliography. This listing was tailored to include only those references for materials readily available in our library and, with the exception of a few items of historical importance, consists of materials published during the last five years.

Download or read book Supporting the Future Total Force written by Kristin F. Lynch and published by Rand Corporation. This book was released on 2007 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Air Force faces manpower end-strength reductions of approximately 40,000 active duty personnel, it becomes more difficult to support the air and space expeditionary force (AEF) construct using current force employment practices. These manpower reductions could leave the active component without sufficient end-strength personnel authorizations to support current operational requirements. The Air National Guard (ANG), on the other hand, will not undergo significant manpower reductions, but it will be affected by the Air Force structure planning under way in support of the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) and Base Realignments and Closure (BRAC) that calls for the retirement of a significant number of legacy aircraft. This could potentially leave the ANG with a large number of highly trained, highly experienced personnel with no aircraft to operate and support.
