Examining Transformation of the Army Reserve and Army National Guard for the 21st Century

Abstract

In response to the September 11 terrorist attacks, new organizations such as the U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) and the proposed Department of Homeland Security are emerging to focus on protecting U.S. territory and population, and large numbers of the U.S. Military's Reserve Components (RC) have been mobilized to perform domestic security missions. Meanwhile, over the past decade numerous overseas national security demands also have greatly increased deployments of the RC. The combined impact of these new organizations and simultaneous domestic and international demands raise potential issues which should be examined regarding future RC roles, responsibilities, structures, and activities as the Army prepares and executes its proposed transformation to an Objective Force.
