National Guard and Reserve Attrition Following Extended Annual Training Exercises: A Volume of Cross-Tabulations

Abstract

In an attempt to identify reasons for attrition, 45 Army Reserve and Army National Guard units were surveyed during the summer and fall of 1987. These units had attended either the National Training Center, Blazing trails, REFORGER, or normal Annual training exercises between 1983 and 1986. One supervisor and one peer of each attritee were asked to identify the important reasons why that soldier left the unit. In addition, supervisors and peers were asked to rate the value of the exercise for units retention and unit readiness. This report contains only the first level of findings and is intended only to be descriptive of the data set and methodology. Keywords: Army reserve attrition, National Guard attrition, National training center, Attrition, Blazing trails, REFORGER, Military, Extended annual, Training, Exercises.
