DOTMLPF Implications for an Operational Army National Guard

Abstract

This research paper examines the impacts on DOTMLPF (Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership and education, Personnel, and Facilities) of the Army National Guard (ARNG) developing more operational capabilities. Although the ARNG is currently postured with some operational capacity while also serving as a strategic reserve - the scope of this research is focused on those impacts and changes inherent in becoming more operational. The rebalancing of national instruments of power to the Pacific Theater and recent updates to Army Doctrine Publication (ADP) 3.0 Unified Land Operations are also considered. This paper addresses only the Army Guard while acknowledging the relevance to the other Reserve Components. The process of developing operational capabilities for the reserve components is on-going with the implications not yet completely understood.
