Problems in Alerting and Preparing Army Reservists for Mobilization.

Abstract

The Army's system for alerting members of National Guard and Reserve units in the event of mobilization needs improvements. The primary document the Army will use to notify reservists--the unit alert roster--is inadequate for locating many reservists quickly. Approximately 22 percent of Army Guard and Reserve personnel with early mobilization schedules may not be notified and assembled promptly because of missing or incorrect phone numbers and addresses. In addition some reservists may not be prepared because they have not received information needed to help put their personal affairs in order. GAO recommends specific improvements the Army should make to correct these problems. The Army has agreed and is taking positive steps to address our concerns. (Author)
