The Citizen-Soldier in the 1970s.
Abstract
This essay reviews the organization, readiness, and future expected role of the U. S. Army Reserve in the light of anticipated reductions in the active army. Historical development and major legislation affecting the current status of the U. S. Army Reserve are noted. The essay concludes that the Citizen-Soldier concept has served the nation well from its early days, that the mix of regular and reserve forces have been advantageous to the nation, and that the needs and welfare of the nation in the future not only insure a place for the 'Minuteman' but demand his recognition in all of the contingency planning of the active forces.
