Maximizing Pre-Mobilization Training at Home Station
Abstract
The current mobilization policy directs deploying reserve component units to serve at least 365 days on active duty. This policy requires much of the training the mobilized unit previously completed at the mobilization station and after they were mobilized now must be completed prior to their mobilization date to allow maximum use of the mobilized unit's deployment. This paper examines what steps were taken to facilitate this new method of training and how the army can improve these processes to maximize boots on the ground time for each deployment. It will research the advantages of pre-mobilization training conducted at home station. Finally, this paper will examine the responsibility given to each component for pre-mobilization training and recommend how each component can become more efficient in the 21st century.
