Transforming Health Service Capabilities in the Army Reserve
Abstract
The Chief of the Army Reserves LTG James R. Helmly in September 2003 provided a plan that addresses the Army Reserve Bridge to Transformation and it is officially called the Federal Reserve Restructuring Initiative. The Federal Reserve Restructuring Initiative is synchronized with the Army's Transformation Campaign Plan and addresses people readiness and transformation. LTG Helmly identified six imperatives he wants embedded in the transformation of the Reserve Component. The reserve medical community can utilize these six imperatives as a lens to examine transformation. The Six Reserve Component Imperatives are: 1. Reengineer the mobilization process; 2. Transform command and control; 3. Restructure units into a flexible and adaptable force; 4. Improve human resources staff; 5. Build a rotational-based force; and 6. Improve individual support to combatant commanders. The purpose of this strategic research project is to focus on the current transformation guidance review current transformation initiatives and consider the implications of these imperatives on the health service capabilities in the Army Reserve.
