The Reserve Forces Impact on Theater Security Cooperation

Abstract

Reserve Components have a greater affect on Theater Security Cooperation (TSC) than Active Duty Components. The entire Diplomatic, Information, Military, Economic (DIME) on Political, Military, Economic, Social, Infrastructure, Information (PMESII) construct with respect to TSC, is directly affected more by Department of Defense (DoD) Reserve programs than by Active Duty efforts. Upcoming reductions in money, people, equipment, and training applied to Reserve TSC agendas will directly weaken international partnerships and therefore, may exacerbate instability and insecurity in combatant theaters worldwide. In the approaching years resource cuts will characterize and define the U.S. defense system. Global security may be disproportionately threatened by DoD cuts to reserve TSC programs.
