Individual Ready Reserve Infantrymen During Desert Shield/Storm Mobilization: Active Service and Demobilization Experiences

Abstract

This report presents a descriptive summary of the Infantry Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) soldier during the mobilization for Operation Desert Storm. Since mobilization is an historically rare event, the leadership of Fort Benning asked the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences Fort Benning Field Unit to assist in capturing valuable information to provide insights that can be used to improve future mobilization(s) and mobilization planning. The statistically descriptive profile shown in this report is based on the results of a survey of 2,641 Infantry IRR soldiers, direct observation, and supplementary performance data. Information is provided on soldier performance, backgrounds, attitudes, concerns, and responses to the various events occurring early in the mobilization process....
