Description of Spouses of Officers and Enlisted Personnel in the U.S. Selected Reserve: 1986. A Report Based on the 1986 Reserve Components Survey
Abstract
This volume presents an overview of the background, current activities, knowledge and views of the spouses of military personnel in the National Guard and Reserve components based on the 1986 Reserve Components Survey of Selected Reserve Spouses, one portion of the 1986 Reserve Components Surveys. An overview of the two military portions of the 1986 Reserve Components Surveys - the 1986 Reserve Components Survey: Selected Reserve Officer and Enlisted Personnel and the 1986 Reserve Components Survey: Full-Time Support Officer and Enlisted Personnel - is presented in a companion volume. These surveys were conducted for the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Reserve Affairs) (OASD (RA)) and the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Force Management and Personnel) (OASD (FM&P)) by the Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC). Over 12,000 officers and about 52,000 enlisted personnel in all seven reserve components, representing the approximately 1,012,000 trained personnel in the Selected Reserve, and over 33,000 spouses, representing the approximately 640,000 spouses married to reserve components military personnel, responded to detailed questionnaires sent to them in the spring of 1986. The questionnaire sent to spouses asked about their civilian employment and economic status, perceptions of family and employer attitudes toward reserve participation, and their attitudes and orientations toward and satisfaction with reserve service of their spouses.
