Army Reserve Transformation

Abstract

Transformation of our the Reserve Component from a strategic force to a more operational force is required to meet the needs of the Army as it continues to become a smaller force, lighter, faster, and the global threat becomes more lethal. The annals of history can attest to the Army Reserve proving itself vital to the military and protection of the nation. The citizen-soldier is a critical part of Americas Defense team meeting today's challenges. The United States Army has relied on citizen augmentation, during times of conflict, throughout her history. Now, more than ever the Reserve Component continues to distinguish itself through the actions of its Soldiers. Transformation of the active Army must also lead to transformation of the Army Reserve.
