The Impact of Deployments of the Army National Guard and United States Army Reserve on Employer Relationships

Abstract

The increased reliance on the United States Army Reserve and the Army National Guard calls for unprecedented sacrifice by civilian employers. These employers' sacrifices will take place without a backdrop of a World War II looming on the horizon or a raging Cold War. Never in the history of United States has the Guard and Reserve played such a vital role in our National Military Strategy. This paper focuses mainly on the United States Army Reserve and the Army National Guard. It addresses the significant role of the Employer Support of the Guard Reserve in assisting military personnel and employers. It discusses methods to improve relationships between military personnel and their civilian employers; it also addresses key provisions of the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) and employees concerns with USERRA; and it outlines some of the civilian employers' experiences with Guard and Reserve employees. Finally, it provides recommendations for improving relationships between employees and employers.
