The Use of Automated Data Processing for the Enhancement of Mobilization of the Reserve Components,
Abstract
Mobilization readiness and rapid assimilation of reserve component units into the active force is ever more important today with greater reliance upon the use of the reserves as part of the Total Force. In armed confrontation, reaction time must be significantly reduced. This study discusses the issues relating to the use of Automated Data Processing in the transition to wartime conditions. These issues have been derived from other Army studies and reports of mobilization exercises. Suggested alternatives for these issues and additional data was obtained through interviews with DA staff and MACOM staff officers. This study finds that although the use of ADP may enhance rapid mobilization, there are inadequate communications, ADP equipment, and ADP systems to support this task. Provision of standard ADP tools in accordance with centralized systems management will aid in the solution of these problems. (Author)
