Army Force Structure: Need to Determine Changed Threat's Impact on Reserve Training Divisions

Abstract

The Army has 12 reserve training divisions, comprising about 35,000soldiers, whose mission is to train new recruits should it become necessary to expand forces under a full mobilization. These divisions were created at a time when the greatest threat to U.S. national security interests was posed by the former Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact. Because the dissolution of the Soviet Union and the demise of the Warsaw Pact have changed the type of military threats the United States is expecting to face in the future, we sought to determine the impact of these changes on the justification for the reserve training divisions.
