The Reserve Forces in the 1990's. Volume 1. Executive Report
Abstract
The Study Group was to suggest techniques to achieve Guard/Reserve mission objectives in the decade of the '90s; to identify the material resources and funding which would be needed by the Guard/Reserve to enable them to achieve and maintain required readiness levels and to perform their assigned roles and complete designated missions during the period of interest; and to weigh the ability of the Guard/Reserve to obtain, retain and train the numbers and types of personnel dictated by their assigned roles and mission in the '90s. The study design was initiated with an examination of general technological and demographic trends likely to impact on the military. The Study of the Reserve Forces in the 1990's discusses several key variables that are viewed as likely to result in increasing stress on the Active Forces. One category is equipment- related such as technological introductions, acquisition cycles, system complexity, life cycle costs, maintenance, reliability and affordable force levels. Another is personnel-associated and is concerned with the number and attributes of the manpower pool, changing attitudes, and the likely dynamics of the job market.
