The Army National Guard Division Headquarters in the Army of 2020

Abstract

The United States Army is in a period of change. Lessons learned over the past decade of conflict and the reality of fiscal constraint will ultimately lead to a new narrative. As the Army writes a new narrative, the Army National Guard must as well. While the term operational reserve is now in the Army lexicon, the question remains: operational for what? This monograph looks at the evolution of the Army National Guard division headquarters from earliest militia tradition through the present, with an eye towards the future. The future represents an opportunity for the division headquarters to write a new narrative based on an approach of building relationships. In the end, the Army National Guard division headquarters remain a relevant force for domestic and overseas missions to fulfill operational missions and support combatant commanders' objectives........Unites States Army National Guard; Division level organizations; Force development; Operational reserve
