The Changing of the 'Guard' from Light to Heavy Instant MOS requalification Required

Abstract

Army force planning and development is the process that produces a force structure and mix that will achieve the United States national and military objectives. This process has programmed a ground force that will change the Army National Guard to a predominantly heavy configuration by 1995. This study project focuses on the impact force structure changes will have on training and readiness in National Guard units that will be reorganized through training year 1995. In particular, MOS requalification for converting units will pose significant issues for training and readiness that will have to be planned for. A case study of the MOS requalification program conducted by the state of Pennsylvania for an infantry battalion converting to armor is the substance of this study project. The intent of the author is to provide a reference base for senior leaders and planners who will face similar reorganizations. The project addresses the planning, resourcing, execution, and evaluation of the Pennsylvania MOS reclassification program with recommendations for improvement.
