Full-Time Personnel -- When do we need them and what should they Yield? A Model to Assist the Commander in making his Choice.
Abstract
The full-time support program for the U.S. Army Reserve enhance unit readiness and deployability by putting full-time soldiers in USAR units and activities. Full-time support is basically used for the purpose of organizing, administering, recruiting, and training the Army Reserve. With the regulatory revisions in 1985, the full-time support program now emerges as one of the most significant manpower programs in the Total Army. The full-time program assists drilling Reservists by carrying out required day-to-day operations thus enabling unit members to concentrate their limited available time on training and mobilization readiness. Unit commanders determine what their full-time needs are, following the models developed by the National Guard Bureau; Office, Chief Army Reserve;, U.S. Army Forces Command; and Headquarters, Department of the Army. However, the unit commander requires flexibility in determining which unit positions he may want to fill with a full-time soldier. While making this determination the unit commander must consider what type position should be full-time, how many full-time personnel will be required, what must these full-time positions yield to improving his unit readiness, and the outside influences that may increase his need for full-time personnel. The model developed in this essay will assist the unit commander in making these decisions. (Author)
