Reserve Component Training Installation/Facility Yearly Requirements Study (RCTIFYRS)
Abstract
RCTIFYRS developed and demonstrated a methodology for identifying and selecting training locations for use by the Army National Guard and Army Reserve on the basis of economic, environmental, and readiness issues. The study considered all federally and state-owned installations and all Fiscal Year 95 Reserve Component (RC) units located in the continental United States. The approach-called for identifying the training needs of the RC units and then cataloging the training resources available at each of the installations evaluated. Units were then allocated to the closest facility which met their training needs. The RCTIFYRS methodology provides a better tool for justifying the retention of training installations than it does for identifying facilities for closure. RCTIFYRS can be used to spotlight individual training sites and assess them in terms of the units they can support for annual and individual duty training and the alternative training facilities that these units would be forced to use should the site be closed. RCTIFYRS does not consider any mitigating factors (e.g., training resources unique to a given facility) which may argue against a site's closure, nor does it attempt to evaluate the quality of the training at one site as opposed to another.
