The Army Reserves Strategy to Support the DOD in 2025

Abstract

As our nation and the leadership in the Department of Defense transitions from continuous wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to re-setting the force, perspective must be given to the future manning, equipping, and missions of the Army Reserve Forces. For the past ten years the reserve forces transitioned from a ready reserve, prepared to augment the active component in a war in Europe, to an operational force, one that deploys, fights alongside the active duty, and carries a significant portion of the nation's requirement in the Global War on Terrorism. Many of the current army reserve Soldiers know no other world than train, deploy, re-set, and then redeploy. Is this the cycle for the next ten years, and if not, then what will the DOD demand of its reserve forces?
