Decreasing Non-Deployables: A Critical Task

Abstract

The Army has experienced a significant number of non-deployables over the last nine years. The largest category is medical non-deployables. In an effort to reduce the number of non-deployables, the Army should review policies, procedures, and regulations to manage non-deployables while sustaining personnel readiness. Without changes to legislation and culture at the senior military and civilian leadership level, an opportunity to decrease non-deployables may be missed. This strategic research paper defines non-deployables and reviews the Army's current goals and solutions. It describes the friction between taking care of Soldiers and managing our non-deployable numbers and reviews recent Army initiatives to reduce nondeployables. It concludes with recommendations to increase available deployable personnel.
