Train, Certify, Alert, Deploy- Implications of a New Mobilization Model for the Army National Guard

Abstract

The Army National Guard (ARNG) is transitioning from a "train alert, mobilize, train, certify, deploy" mobilization model to a new "train, certify, alert, deploy" model. This paper defines each model, highlights inefficiencies in the old model, and offers suggestions on what strategies should be pursued to achieve the level of readiness required to meet the time lines of the new model. The focus is on training and personnel readiness in units with discussion of family and employer readiness. Further, this paper explores the potential impact force rebalancing and other Department of Defense initiatives might have on the ability of the ARNG to sustain required readiness levels.
