摘要

This study comprises two parts. Part I develops alternative approaches toorganizing the active component of the Army and Marine Corps in the face of anticipated budget cuts. Part II develops alternative ways of organizing, manning, and training reserve component combat forces. Part I: One way to improve training readiness in active component units is to change Army and Marine Corps policies and keep people together in units longer. The Unit Stability Program is designed to achieve that goal. Ready Standby Organization provides a way for the Army and Marine Corps to preserve active component force structure and training readiness in the face of budget cuts.
