Title:
NATIONAL GUARD: Peacetime Training Did Not Adequately Prepare Combat Brigades for Gulf War
Report Date:
1991-09-24
Abstract:
Since 1973 the Army has increasingly relied on its reserve forces to complement its active forces. In fact, the Army has structured some of itsdivisions with both active Army brigades and National Guard round out brigades. During Operations Desert Shield and Desert Stormthousands of Army reservists and National Guard members were sent to the Persian Gulf area to perform both combat and support missions.However, none of the three National Guard round out maneuver (armor and infantry) brigades that were activated for the crisis were deployed.Instead of deploying these brigades with their assigned divisions, the Army substituted other active Army brigades.
