Reconstitution: Panacea or Palliative for Mobilization
Abstract
The definition of Reconstitution was significantly expanded by President Bush in August 1990 from a purely tactical term to one of strategic importance. Reconstitution was subsequently established as one of the four pillars of the National Security Strategy and addressed our ability to build forces above the Base Force to counter the reemergence of a global threat. This paper defines Reconstitution, in its strategic context, and provides some of the more significant interpretations of how it should be implemented. Additionally, the paper determines if Reconstitution represents a new approach to preparing for conflict or is merely another name for the existing mobilization system.
