The Army Reserve Components: Full Partners in National Defense

Abstract

Within the past two years, many thousands of words have been written and spoken about the Army reserve components, both publicly and privately, officially and unofficially. If a truly objective analysis could be made of all these utterances, I feel sure that two common denominators would become obvious: first, the reserve components are dynamic by nature and have always existed in a state of progressive evolution; second, the importance of the Army Reserve and National Guard as parts of a well-balanced defense force is greater than ever before. In this century alone, more than a dozen formal actions have come out of the Congress affecting in some way the mission or structure of the reserve components. Numerous other changes have been made under existing laws and regulations.
