Abstract:

The Department is transforming the Guard and Reserve from a purely strategic force to a sustainable Reserve force with both operational and strategic roles captured in DoD Directive DoDD 1200.17, Managing the Reserve Components as an Operational Force. Effective management of the Guard and Reserve as an operational force required changes in numerous policies, including mobilization, force structure rebalancing, personnel management, training, readiness, equipping, and family and employer support. These changes have been critical to RC success during what is now the largest mobilization of the Guard and Reserve since the Korean War, in a war that has lasted longer than World War II. It is important to note that in addition to these expanded operational capabilities, the RC still provided strategic depth to meet U. S. defense requirements across the full spectrum of conflict.
