Life-Cycle Management of the Active Reserve Field Grade Officer Population

Abstract

The intent of this Strategic Research Project (SRP) is to answer the strategic question, "As the Army Reserve transforms from a strategic force to an operational force will the life-cycle management of the Active Guard Reserve (AGR) field grade officer population meet the emerging challenges of senior leadership in an operational Army Reserve"? This SRP will examine the beginnings of the AGR force and outline the purpose of the AGR program when the Army Reserve was a strategic force. It will define four competencies that are needed for a Colonel in an operational Army Reserve environment. The immediate question is whether these competencies exist in the current population of Colonel's in the strategic Army Reserve or do existing requirements not support the training of Colonels on these four competencies. I will address this question with research from Human Research Command (HRC) and Office Chief Army Reserve (OCAR) on the life-cycle management and whether these new emerging operational requirements of the current Colonel AGR population will meet the four operational competencies needed of the operational Army Reserve.
