Total Force Component: A Transformed Army Reserve for the 21st Century Security Environment.

摘要

The Army Reserve as a component of the Total Force provides combat support and combat service support capabilities to meet the challenges of the 21st century. The current operating and security environment, and the many lessons learned from the recent years reveal that the Army Reserve must transform to remain a responsive and effective component. The Army Reserve is transforming with the Army changing more than it has changed in the last 50 years. The Federal Reserve Restructuring Initiative (FRRI) serves as the transformational bridge that will ensure a ready and relevant Total Force component for the 21st century security environment. The research addresses the origins of the Total Force concept and its enduring effects on the Army Reserve structure, the FRRI with its associated imperatives, the effects of restructuring command and control, and the establishment of rotational capabilities based force to support the needs of the Army.
