The Evolution between Active Duty and Reserve Forces in Combat

Abstract

Since the beginning of the United States Anny June 14th 1775, it has always carried the concept of One Army, One Team, and One Fight. For the most part this is true, however during the past 234 years we the Army as a whole have lost the concept that the Active Duty was built on the foundation of the State Militia. In my 26 years, four activations, and two training tours, I have witnessed the division between Active Duty and the Reserve Component soldiers.

The following Personal Experience Paper is the evolution that I have witnessed.
