New Active Guard/Reserve (AGR) Manning Requirements for the National Guard
Abstract
With the tremendous growth in the National Guard and the modernization and reorganizations taking place, a heavy responsibility has been placed on the leadership for full-time support. With the current trend of active force end strength reduction and more missions being given to the National Guard, it is imperative to have the proper mix of AGR full-time manning and M- day soldiers. New and sophisticated equipment is being placed in the hands of the Guard and Reserves with increased emphasis on maintenance, training, and readiness. The AGR full-time support system has grown immensely since it's inception in 1979; From an initial 2, 000 billets to the now 39,054 spaces authorized by Congress in th 1988 Omnibus Continuing Resolution Bill. Even with this growth it is difficult to determine the proper mix of AGR and M-day soldiers required in the new high technology organizations of today. High priority missions, new Force Activity Designators (FAD), higher Department of the Army Master Priority List (DAMPL), and Time Phased Deployment Listings (TPFDL), all have great impact on the required full-time manning. This paper will highlight those important aspects required in determining the proper full- time manning. It also points out shortcomings of the present system and will assist in establishment of guidelines for determining the proper mix.
