Leadership: The Missing Link in Army Reserve Recruiting

Abstract

This paper will examine the Army organizational recruiting structures of the Army National Guard and the United States Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) to include a review of the decision criteria used to consolidate the USAR mission within USAREC. The United States Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) has missed the United States Army Reserve (USAR) recruiting objective for four years in a row. Based on this trend, Congress has directed the Secretary of the Army conduct a review of the manner, process, and organization used by the Army to recruit new members for the Army Reserve. This analysis used against the backdrop of today's recruiting environment and existing organizational structures will provide the basis for determining USAREC's inability to meet mission. The focus of comparing organizational structure and Command and Control (C2) efficiencies and inefficiencies are used in order to determine the organizational approach that might best suit the United States Army Reserve (USAR). Additionally, this paper will identify organizational options/measures, that the Secretary of the Army can use to eliminate this negative trend.
