Title:
A Throughput-Based Analysis of Army Active Component/Reserve Component Mix for Major Contingency Surge Operations
Report Date:
2019-01-01
Abstract:
Because the needs of the United States and the threats it faces are continuously evolving, the balance between the active and reserve components of the U.S. armed forces is a perennial challenge for the U.S. Department of Defense. Aspects include how rapidly and in what quantity reserve component units can be made ready to deploy to meet the demands of a sudden, large overseas conflict, such as an Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm-like event or a possible conflict on the Korean peninsula. The Office of the Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs asked RAND to explore these questions for Army units and to examine what can be done to maximize the number of ready forces from the Army's reserve components available to support such a conflict. This study focuses on the initial deployment speed of Army Reserve units, taking training requirements as an input, and assuming that trained and mobilized units will be ready to perform assigned roles once deployed.
