March 2012Providing Indispensable Capabilities to The Total ForceNever before in the history of our nation has the United States Army Reserve been more indispensableto the Army than it is today. Forged through 10 years of persistent conflict across the globe, theArmy Reserve has out of necessity evolved into an indispensable part of the operational force. Steadydemands for Army Reserve enabler capabilities introduced a new paradigm of interdependence withinthe Total Force that changed the structure of our defense strategy, ushering in an era of reliance on anoperational Reserve as part of our national security architecture.The Army Reserve is a foundational element providing operational andstrategic depth to our military. As a key component of the Total Force,the Army Reserve provides key enabler capabilities to the Army;including 100 percent of the Army’s Theater Engineer and Civil AffairsCommands, Training Divisions, Biological Detection Companies,Railway Units and Replacement Companies. Our professional men andwomen support Army needs in many other fields such astransportation, logistics, supply chain management, law enforcementand public safety, health care, telecommunications, informationtechnology, finance, legal services and human resources.Continued investment in the Army Reserve as an enduringoperational force places it on a solid path to support combat operationsand theater security cooperation missions worldwide. As operationsdraw down in Iraq and Afghanistan, it is essential that we maintain theright mix of forces and professional personnel with operationalexperience and relevant skill sets. The Army Reserve forces providecritical enablers to the active component as a complementary andessential capability—not a redundant force—allowing the AC structureto focus around more complex formations.In years past, we allowed our most seasoned and best-trainedSoldiers to leave the Army during post-conflict drawdowns. In the4iicurrent security environment this is not an option. One of our keyinitiatives this year is to work with Army to create a Continuum ofService program to retain this pool of experienced, talented Soldiersthrough continued service in the reserve components. Our goal is toinspire Soldiers to a lifetime of military service, which includes seamlesstransitions between active and Reserve statuses, as well as betweenreserve categories and civilian service, providing variable and flexibleservice options and levels of participation consistent with Departmentof Defense manpower requirements.Everything we do within the operational and institutionalArmy Reserve supports the Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN)model. We progressed from a demand-based, theater-requestdependent, reactive ARFORGEN, to a five-year supply-basedARFORGEN, providing much needed predictability to our Soldiers,their Families and their employers. Today, every Soldier knows hisunit’s available force pool date and has the expectation that they will beused to support ongoing operations or theater security cooperationmissions worldwide.Our biggest challenge is manning. We need Congress’ support forour FY 2013 budget request for recruitment and retention incentives,and transition incentives for Soldiers leaving the active componentUNITED STATES ARMY RESERVE An Enduring Operational Army Reserve: Providing Indispensable Capabilities to the Total Force
during the drawdown, to allow us to shape the force with less relianceon cross-leveling to offset our mid-grade strength imbalances. Ourcurrent Full Time Support model remains a strategic reserve legacy.We need the support of Congress for key policy modifications tochange personnel support processes. We are currently working withthe Army to create additional Full Time Support capability to providemuch needed continuity in operational units and generatingforce units. These policy modifications will allow eligibility forenlistment and reenlistment bonuses, education loan repayment,and other incentives.One area where our focus will remain steadfast is our supportprograms for Soldiers and Family members, especially in remotelocations without access to installation-based support. The past decadehas taught us a lot about the physical and emotional needs of Soldiersand Families, and we have taken steps to reduce stress on the force.We’ve implemented a Comprehensive Soldier Fitness program to trainour Soldiers, Civilians and Family members to both maximize theirpotential, and prepare them for the physical and psychologicalchallenges of sustained operations. We have taken a holistic approachto suicide prevention Army-wide, integrating educating the force withefforts to reduce the stigma of seeking behavioral healthcare.We are also reaching out and providing resources to geographicallydispersed Soldiers and Family members and involving Familymembers in suicide prevention training. Not only have we establishedthe Fort Family 24-7 hotline for Soldiers and Family members to accessservices at remote locations, we continue to establish Army StrongCommunity Centers (ASCC) in remote locations to allow Soldiers,Family members, retirees and veterans access to installation-likesupport at remote locations.Working together, with the continued support of Congress, we canmeet the challenges we face in implementing a Continuum of Serviceand “Soldier for Life” concept, a sustainable ARFORGEN cycle for theArmy Reserve, and demonstrate the positive investment that ournation makes in its Army Reserve. A relatively small investment in theArmy Reserve provides security to the homeland and supports the fullrange of military operations at home and abroad. The value added ofthe Army Reserve and its critical enabler capabilities is that the nationpays the full cost for a reserve component Soldier only when he/sheis mobilized.As we look to the future, our commitment is steadfast and thefocus is clear: the Army Reserve is an essential part of the Total Force,and we will do all we can to ensure this combat seasoned, highly skilledforce of Warrior-Citizens remains ready to support a full range ofmilitary operations well into the future. We provide a solid, experiencedfoundation for expansibility. The strategic decisions and directionchosen now will set the framework for the next decade. With your helpand the help of those who support America’s operational ArmyReserve, we will put this organization on a solid path to success for ourSoldiers, civilians, and Family members; our future leaders; and ournational security.Lieutenant General Jack C.

ACHIEVEMENTSHUMAN CAPITALPersonnel: A new Automated SeniorEnlisted Promotion Board Process that usesstandardized criteria ensures the bestqualified Soldiers are selected for MasterSergeant, First Sergeant, and SergeantMajor positions. Implementation of theArmy Reserve Theater IndividualReplacement Operations policy andprocedures more effectively achieves theArmy Reserve goal for individualreplacements to report to theater within60 days of the initial request. Army ForceGeneration (ARFORGEN) Manning Strategyfocuses on “unit” rather than individualmanning, thereby allowing a unit to trainand proceed through the ARFORGEN cycleas a cohesive unit. This shift in strategyallows commanders and noncommissionedofficers to focus on leading and developingtheir organizations without the distractionof constant cross-leveling. Since forcestructure defines the needs of individualunits, this approach brings personnel andforce structure closer to one another.Surgeon: The Medical Management Activityin 2011 reviewed over 6,000 medicalprofiles, of which 50 percent were amendedand 20 percent were sent for anadministrative retention board, allowingthese Soldiers to remain in the ArmyReserve. Since the establishment of thereserve component Medical Support Centerin 2011, the Army Reserve now has bettervisibility of Soldiers progressing throughthe Medical Evaluation Board process, withover 540 packets submitted for review andadjudication.Chaplain: The Army Reserve Strong Bondsprogram continues to be a success story as12,500 individuals participated in over 300events. The curricula expanded to providemore skills training to Soldiers, theirspouses and their children. The programprovides the tools to enable Families to notjust survive but thrive in the currentenvironment of high operations tempo andmultiple deployments.6ivEmployer Partnership of the ArmedForces program: Launched a state-ofthe-art Career Portal in November2010. The portal grew from zero tonearly 30,000 registered users and thenumber of Employer Partners more thandoubled to 2,500 through September.The Army Reserve has also launched apartnered Soldier training programwith GE Healthcare.Family Programs: Opened a fourth ArmyStrong Community Center pilot site inconjunction with Clackamas CommunityCollege in Oregon City, Ore. The Fort FamilySupport & Outreach Center responded tomultiple crisis and disaster situations whilemaintaining contact with the Families ofdeployed Army Reserve Soldiers. DuringFY11, Fort Family had 28,340 successfulcontacts with Soldiers and Families,providing information and assistance formany issues, including TRICARE, legalmatters, retirement, the GI Bill, and childand youth programs.MATERIELNew Equipment Fielding Facilities enabledthe Army Reserve to issue over 3,800trucks/trailers and 63,700 support items,allowing the Army Reserve to have 91percent of equipment on hand, with 67percent modernized, putting us on par withthe active component. In support ofequipping missions, the Army Reserve hasexecuted over 19,500 commercialmovements of over 340,000 pieces ofequipment. The Army Reserve combinedits Fleet Management System and itsLogistics Information Systems SupportContract into one product, therebyreducing costs from 18.4 million to 14.4million—a 22 percent savings. Additionalsavings were achieved by relocating thetactical computers system for newequipment fielding in a leased facility fromHopewell, Va., to Gaithersburg, Md., in agovernment owned facility—realizing anadditional savings of 288K a year.In addition, we equipped the first unit inthe Army with the new Palletized LoadSystem and the new M915A5 Line HaulTractors and executed Operation CleanSweep to improve the inventory ofequipment through the Army Reserve,re-establishing property book control of 105M of equipment.READINESSThe Army Reserve has transitioned to anOperational Force within the Army byimplementing a Supply Based Army ForceGeneration process in order to provideneeded capabilities to the Army’s MissionForce each year, while providingpredictability to Soldiers, Families andemployers. The result is an integrated,rotational force that achieves cyclic unitreadiness for all Army Reserve rotationalunits over a defined, predictableplanning horizon.A wide array of missions in the unit’savailable year can include deploymentsin support of named operations, theatersecurity cooperation (TSC) missions,humanitarian assistance, or domesticresponse missions. The Army Reservecontinues to provide approximately19,000 Soldiers annually in organizedunits to the Army for worldwide namedoperations as well as contingencies.Many of these units satisfy joint capabilityrequirements for types of organizationsonly found in the Army Reserve. Onesuch unit is an aviation task forceestablished in October of 2011 fromthe 11th Theater Aviation Command toprovide the medium lift, heavy lift andMEDEVAC capability required to supportNORTHCOM in the Defense CBRNResponse Force mission.The Army Reserve continues to standready to provide forces on an as-requiredbasis in support of the nation. As wecontinue to sharpen our focus on providingthe proper force, appropriately trained, atthe right time and place throughout theUNITED STATES ARMY RESERVE An Enduring Operational Army Reserve: Providing Indispensable Capabilities to the Total Forceworld, we will move ever closer to ourstrategic vision—the Army Reserve as a costeffective, trained, ready and relevantenabling security force for the nation.SERVICES AND INFRASTRUCTUREServices and Infrastructure Core Enterprise(SICE) is the Core Enterprise that underpinsall of the platforms and provides the supportservices that enable an operationalizedArmy Reserve. The FY11 focus centered onthe completion of all assigned 2005 BaseRealignment and Closure (BRAC) tasks toconstruct 125 facilities and close andconsolidate 176. Through this significanteffort, the Army Reserve facilities portfolioachieved a 17 percent improvement infacility age, modernization and operationalcapability that directly supports training,equipping and manning strategies in supportof ARFORGEN.To achieve efficiencies in Army Reservefunded training installations (Fort McCoy,Fort Hunter Liggett, Fort Buchanan, ArmySupport Activity—Dix) the Army Reserveconsolidated Director of Logistics activitiesunder Army Materiel Command, as well asthe consolidating and transferringInformation Management activitiesunder NETCOM.All challenges to our infrastructure(Army Reserve Centers, Installations, andCommunications Networks) to includetornadoes, hurricanes and flooding weremet with a determination that restoredfacilities and communications quickly andensured mission accomplishment. As aparticipating partner at the Departmentlevel, the Army Reserve is very close toachieving a developed and synchronizedFacility Investment Strategy and is a leaderin environmental conservation and energysustainability. The Army Reserve continuesto maintain Military Technician strength atlevels mandated by law and is activelyworking toward transforming the civilianworkforce to support the OperationalArmy Reserve.

THE POSTURE OF THE ARMY RESERVE:TODAY’S READINESS AND STRATEGIC AGENDAThe Army Reserve is a trained, experienced, resilient force ofWarrior Citizens supported by strong Families and employerpartnerships. Forged through the persistent conflicts across Iraqand Afghanistan, the Army Reserve is an indispensable providerof essential enabler capabilities to the Total Force. The ArmyReserve is prepared to provide the nation with both versatilesupport to the Joint Fight and flexible response options tocontingencies at home and abroad. The operational Reserveis essential for building expansibility within the Total Force.The Army Reserve’s 205K citizen Soldiers across the nationform the Army’s best connection to hometown America. TheseWarrior-Citizens are the best ambassadors for the Army intheir communities across this great country.Having reconfigured organizationally and functionally to adapt to thedemands of sustained operational deployment, the Army Reserve must nowfocus on sustaining its operational capacity to meet diverse and unpredictablethreats—while operating in an era of fiscal austerity. Together, the Army and theArmy Reserve will leverage the tremendous benefits of the multi-componentTotal Force and make the most of all available opportunities to preserve theinvestment in trained and ready Soldiers and units. The Army cannot accomplishits mission without the reserve component. Much of the support capability andcritical specialties reside predominantly or exclusively in the Army Reserve. Suchunits include civil affairs, medical, transportation, engineer and military information support operations. These are indispensable capabilities to the Total Force.The operational Reserve is essential to providing both versatile support to theJoint Fight and flexible response options to contingencies at home and abroad.4Strategic AgendaThe Army Reserve Strategic Agenda reflects the most essential objectives theArmy Reserve must achieve based on both Army and Army Reserve Leadershipguidance and direction. Nested within the Army Reserve 2020: Vision &Strategy, the Army Reserve Strategic Agenda identifies specific priorities toUNITED STATES ARMY RESERVE An Enduring Operational Army Reserve: Providing Indispensable Capabilities to the Total Force
optimize the application of collective effort and fiscalresources. The fiscal year 2012 Strategic Agenda focuses onkey components of an operational force.AccessThe Total Army Force relies on critical enabler capabilitiesprovided by trained and equipped Army Reserve Soldiersand units that are ready to respond to global and domesticrequirements. An ongoing collaborative effort across theDepartment of Defense has resulted in the addition ofexpanded access to the reserve components. New authorities contained within the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act allow for access to the reserve component formissions other than war, with the proper planning,programming and budgeting. With access, Army Reservepersonnel can mobilize in support of specified missions,such as Theater Security Cooperation. This allows theTotal Force to leverage the unique cost benefits of usinga seasoned, exceptional Reserve force in a sustainedoperational role.Funding for Operational ReserveAs military forces withdraw from Iraq and Afghanistan,and Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) funding issignificantly reduced, continued use of the Army Reserve inan operational role is contingent upon adequate andassured funding in the base budget. With adequate andassured funding, the Army Reserve will continue to providethe required enabler capabilities to support the Army’sARFORGEN readiness cycle. Funding in the Base Budgetis crucial for the required training events and supportingcosts necessary for use of the Army Reserve operationalcapabilities. Without assured funding in the base budget,Army Reserve forces cannot be a full participant inARFORGEN—thus degrading readiness levels. Over time,the hard-won operational expertise of Army ReserveSoldiers will be lost. The Army Reserve will not be ready forplanned or contingency operations at home or abroad. As aresult, critical Army Reserve enabler availability as part ofthe Total Army Force will be limited to use as a strategicReserve. In today’s security environment, the Army and thenation cannot afford anything less than an operationalforce. Therefore, the Army Reserve will continue to workwith the Army to ensure adequate and assured funding inthe Army base budget and Program Objective Memorandafor planned use of Army Reserve operational capabilities.Continuum of ServiceContinuum of Service (CoS) is an integrated HumanCapital management strategy for the total Army. The futureof retaining the extraordinary capabilities and experience ofour Soldiers now resides in how well we can implementchange in the way we manage our Soldiers in the face ofconstrained resources. Creating a management strategythat facilitates and supports the transparent movement ofindividuals between the active component, the reservecomponents, and civilian careers is essential to preserving acost effective, expansible foundation of talent and experience for the future.The intent of a continuum of service is to not justallow but to encourage and incentivize Soldiers to continueserving the Army while preserving the Army’s investment.We must offer and manage varying levels of participationfrom the active component to the traditional Reserve or tothe Individual Ready Reserve. It is a paradigm shift toattempt the management of one force across the total Army.This will require considerable transformation to thecurrent, rather inflexible, human capital managementsystem in each component. However, this shift will poise usto best meet the impact of anticipated fiscal constraints.CoS provides an efficient and cost-effective solution toretaining the investment and experience of our bestArmy Reserve training events are critical to maintaining the Army’s readiness levels.As a force multiplier, the Army Reserve’s unique abilities are integral to the Total Force.2012 POSTURE STATEMENT5
Army Reserve Soldiers zero their weapons duringpre-deployment training at Fort Dix, N.J. Army ForceGeneration (ARFORGEN) focuses training, training supportand other resources for units in a timely, predictable manneras they prepare for operational deployment.Soldiers, building the foundation of expansibility andreversibility into our force in the future.There are many aspects to this initiative and itwill require perseverance to change each institutionalprocess that creates barriers or separation. This rangesfrom the creation of an Individual Ready Reserve(IRR) Affiliation Program and Army TransitionProcess transformation. These forward-thinking institutional policy changes will provide an underpinning tothe best, most efficient practices in humancapital management.Institutionalize ARFORGENArmy Force Generation (ARFORGEN) is a cyclic processthe Army uses to man, equip, and train all units to meetcombatant commander requirements. ARFORGEN isdesigned to focus training, training support and otherlimited resources for units in a timely, predictable manneras they prepare for operational employment using acommon set of standards. Approximately half of Armycapabilities are in the reserve component. This includesthe Combat Support and Combat Service Support unitsof the Army Reserve. The Total Army Force relies uponthese Army Reserve enablers to be ready and fullyintegrated as part of an expeditionary force within thetime frame when they are needed. To the Army Reserve,ARFORGEN goes beyond process and policy adaptation,it includes cultural change both within the Army andthe Army Reserve.Full Time Support (FTS)Full Time Support is an essential element of the ArmyReserve’s ability to conduct training, personnel andadministrative functions and leading Army Reserve unitsin the operational force. Historically, the Army Reserve hasbeen under resourced in Full Time Support. This has beenmitigated by the use of Overseas Contingency Operationfunding and leveraging the use of volunteers to bringoperating units to required readiness levels. Despite the wartime demands placed on our Nation’s ground forcesthroughout the last decade, Full Time Support manninglevels in the Army Reserve have remained, on a percentagebasis, the lowest among the service branches. To increasereadiness of operational units in the future, assets andpersonnel policy will be shifted to direct support to theoperational Army Reserve. Note: Full-time support wascompared by totaling all AGR, Military Technicians andother civilian positions.PROVIDING INDISPENSABLE CAPABILITIES:Civil Affairs Officer Enjoys the Flexibility of the Army ReserveAs an officer in the 425th Civil Affairs Battalion, 2nd Lt. Ingrid Alvarez knows what it meansto help reshape another country’s environment to make it safer. “Civil Affairs isn’t justabout building schools and wells. It also includes separating populations from a deadlyinsurgency, to create a safer environment for our troops and the local populace.” As acustomer service representative for a major computer manufacturer, she sees somecomparisons with her civil affairs assignment. “My civilian job and my military job both haveto do with the public, as well as taking care of the organization’s interests.” 2nd Lt. Alvarez’favorite part of the Army Reserve is its flexibility. “I decided to go into the Army Reserve rather than activeduty because I wanted to live at home and stay with my friends and family. You get the same quality trainingand opportunities but it’s a little more flexible.”6UNITED STATES ARMY RESERVE An Enduring Operational Army Reserve: Providing Indispensable Capabilities to the Total Force
