Global Reserve Cooperation

Abstract

During the past decade, the United States, its allies, and partner nations have greatly increased their reliance on Reserve Component forces. This global transformation provides a timely opportunity for the U.S. to join in building an international Reserve community that can collectively set and accomplish common security goals for the future. The U.S. National Guard is well positioned to lead this engagement effort due to its depth of transformation experience, unique domestic operations expertise, and long and respected history of international partnerships. This paper: (1) suggests a possible framework for further advancing the Reserve capabilities of partner nations in the Asia-Pacific region, and (2) discusses important change management concepts, informed by U.S. lessons learned, for countries that are modernizing strategic-based Reserve systems.
