Towards an Operational Force: Health Readiness in the Army Reserve

Abstract

This research will critically review current health readiness practices within the Army Reserve and recommend sourcing and systems changes to position it for transformation from a strategic to an operational reserve. This will be accomplished in accordance with the provisions of DoDD 1200.17 "Managing the Reserve Components as an Operational Force." Recommendations will support selected changes in Army Reserve culture, legislative initiatives, full-time manning, force structure, and the role and responsibilities of the command surgeon.
