Cultural Change: Participation of Traditional Reservists in the Nuclear Weapon Personnel Reliability Program (PRP).

Abstract

Within the Air Force Reserve, Traditional Reservists, specifically Individual Mobilization Augmentees (IMAs), have been restricted/excluded by Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) policy and guidance issued in DoDD 5210.42, Nuclear Weapon Personnel Reliability Program (PRP), from participating in nuclear-related mission activities. PRP program inclusion for Traditional Reservists is number 16 on the top 20 high interest items of the Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS). The CJCS has tasked the Assistant to the Joint Chief for Reserve Affairs (ACJCS/RM) to investigate and present workable solutions to resolve what appears to be a barrier to Total Force participation in nuclear missions. Through review of the current literature, historical precedence, and personal interviews, the research will show that PRP must be enlarged to include IMAs.
