Annual Report of the Reserve Forces Policy Board Fiscal Year 1986.
Abstract
The Reserve Forces Policy Board is by statute the principal policy adviser to the Secretary of Defense on matters relating to the reserve components. The report details contributions of the reserve components to the Total Force and addresses matters pertaining to manning, equipping, training, and ensuring that the National Guard and Reserve are ready to mobilize. Medical issues and facilities support are also reviewed in the report. The reserve components are essential elements of the Total Force and as such must be prepared to mobilize immediately for the successful accomplishment of any significant military operation. Personnel and units must be equipped, trained, and physically fit-to-fight at all times. Physical fitness is a primary determinant of success on the battlefield and must become a life-style for Guard and Reserve members. Mobilization day can occur at any time and is too late to begin readiness preparations.
