Leveraging the Army Reserve for Security Force Assistance
Abstract
Globalization and the associated economic and security interdependence will continue to bring nations together as partners in maintaining the peace and stability to support our common interests. Building Partner Capability (BPC) of U.S. allies and security partners through Security Force Assistance (SFA) is one way to develop the integrated security networks that are integral to our National Security Strategy (NSS). The U.S. Army Reserve brings a unique capability that can be leveraged as a means to conduct SFA as part of BPC in support our national interests. It is the Army Reserve's intent to provide operational depth and capability to the Geographic Combatant Commanders (GCC) by matching their capabilities to theater security requirements, while maintaining strategic depth for our Army and nation. The military success of the past decade has been a total force effort. We must institutionalize the "one team one fight mentality" and continue to leverage capability across components and services to support our national security priorities. As a new operational force, the Army Reserve is transformed, trained, and ready, with a wide breadth and depth of SFA capabilities, to continue supporting GCCs, national leaders, and national interests around the world.
