Review of Army Total Force Policy Implementation

Abstract

This document reports the results of a research project entitled "Review of Army Total Force Policy Implementation." The purpose of the project was to review the implementation of the Army Total Force Policy and to provide recommendations for sustaining and/or modifying its objectives to more effectively achieve a more integrated operational force. In this report, we review the Army's progress in implementing the Army Total Force Policy across the domains of doctrine, organization, collective training, mobilization, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, and facilities. Our assessment is based on objective indicators as well as interviews with stakeholders in the Regular Army, Army National Guard, and U.S. Army Reserve. We also discuss related recommendations made by the National Commission on the Future of the Army, obstacles to integration, and additional steps the Army could take to move toward the goal of total force integration.
