An Operational Army Reserve: The Way Ahead

Abstract

In a fiscally constrained environment, an Operational Army Reserve must be established to complement the Total Force in countering complex and fluid threats of the 21st century. In order to man the force and provide predictability, fully implementing management processes such as the Army Force Generation Model (ARFORGEN) and "continuum of service" (COS) will make a transition to an Operational Army Reserve a reality. In order to retain the experiences and capabilities formed from the past decade, the Army must institutionalize the Operational Army Reserve. When employed as an operational force, the Army-Reserve offers both strategic agility and depth and is a cost~effective solution in a budget constrained environment.
