Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) Call-Up: Attitudes, Motivation, and Concerns

Abstract

This paper presents the findings of the ARI Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) Training Task Force with respect to IRR attitudes, motivation, and concerns upon call-up for the Persian Gulf war. The responses to a questionnaire developed by the task force and data from three existing data bases were used to identify problems that occurred during the call-up process and assess the impact of the call-up on the IRR. The results indicated that many of the IRR soldiers were not happy about being called up, had serious concerns about their treatment at in-processing, and/or were seriously concerned about the call-up's disruption of their lives. The report summarizes their concerns and provides recommendations for improving the call-up process.
