Reorganizing the Generating Force

Abstract

This paper will argue that the current Generating Force definition is too broad in scope and the Generating Force itself should be restructured. In addition to the current terms of Operational Army (OA) and Generating Force (GF), the Army should create a category for Supporting Force (SF) and establish the Trainees Transient Holdees Students (TTHS) account as a separate category. The TTHS category should also be utilized by the entire RC, to include the Army National Guard (ARNG). By creating these additional categories the Army will improve clarity of the Army's organizational structure, assist with resourcing prioritization of the Operational Army, increase TTHS visibility across all components, and potentially decrease resource costs through greater visibility across all components. Regardless of the current functions of law which segregate AC and RC, these changes should be implemented in anticipation of further and continued funding constraints.
