	GAO-07-93, Military Personnel: Reserve Components Need Guidance to Accurately and Consistently Account for Volunteers ...
		The reserve components found that there were no substantial increases or decreases in their fiscal year 2006 numbers that required changes in their estimated maximum levels for fiscal year 2007.
		Reserve Components Are Not Identifying Numbers of Active Duty Reservists for Operational Support Consistently across Components: The reserve components have not been consistently identifying the number of reservists serving in an operational support capacity since this requirement was adopted in fiscal year 2005.
		Until DOD and all of the reserve components update their implementing guidance in a uniform manner, inconsistencies and errors in the reporting of the number may continue and DOD will be unable to ensure that reported numbers are accurate and that maximum levels are not being exceeded.

	Statement of James Blaker, Former Defense Official
		It accepts, and promotes, a bifurcated force, in which the reserves act as the repository for today's strength and serve increasingly as the primary military means through which the nation pursues its policy of peaceful engagement, while the active force is freed to allow it to change.
		Rather than striving to be clones of active forces, the reserve components would remain the repository for today's American military prowess while portions of the active force move more expeditiously and faster into the future.
		Reserve components would, under this concept, assume a greater portion of the active Army's mission in Europe.

	Statement by General Peter Schoomaker, Chief of Staff United States Army, before the Commission on National Guard and ...
		However, requiring the reserve components to become part of the operational force, on top of their traditional role as the strategic reserve, requires us to change the way the Army National Guard and the Army Reserve are organized, resourced, trained, and mobilized.
		Further, because almost all reserve component units have already been either partially or completely mobilized in support of the Global War on Terrorism, current mobilization policies and practices require the Army to rely on individual volunteers from the reserve components.
		Current policies restrict our ability to remobilize reserve component units, and, in my view, the current policies are more restrictive than need be under the law and hamper our ability to remobilize the best trained, best led, and best equipped units.

	Is A Reserve Study Required?
		Whether or not a reserve study is required, board members and property managers have a fiduciary responsibility to perform due diligence in the budgeting process so that their associations properly maintain their property.
		By the time the reserve specialist does the first on-site physical inspection and reserve analysis in the third year of its existence, the association's reserves are already underfunded.
		The DRE-623 reserve component measurements and totals of items such as exterior light fixtures, paved surfaces, painting surface areas can be inaccurate because some of these items are difficult to tally when viewing the as-built plans.

	Pressures on the Guard and Reserve--November 1998
		The result is that the reserve components now make up about one-third of the Total Force, compared with a quarter 10 years ago and 12 percent in the 1960s.
		Reserve members now share the stress of optempo with their active duty counterparts and must cope with the problems of frequent deployments and prolonged separations from their families.
		USAF has said that the reserve components' participation would be a vital part of the EAF approach, the idea being to levy requirements on the Guard and AFRC to be filled at their discretion.

	DOD Reserve Components: Issues Pertaining to Readiness (Testimony, 03/21/96, GAO/T-NSIAD-96-130).
		Our work suggests that at least one reserve component has not sufficiently adapted to the new challenges and therefore may not be prepared to carry out its assigned missions.
		For example, the Guard and Reserve are projected to comprise slightly over 50 percent of the total Army for fiscal years 1996 and 2001, but the Reserves are projected to comprise less than 20 percent of the Naval and Marine Corps total forces for the same years.
		According to a study by the Institute for Defense Analyses for DOD's Commission on Roles and Missions, many reserve component combat and support units that were deployed for the war demonstrated their ability to perform to standard with little postmobilization training.\1 However, the experience among the services was mixed, according to the study.

		In last year's Report of the Chairman, we discussed the Reserve component vision -- an integrated total force in which the Reserve components are active participants in facing the full spectrum of new challenges to national security and are capable, accessible, affordable, and relevant.
		The Reserve components have demonstrated their value to the nation's national security through their accessibility and readiness, as evidenced by a high degree of volunteerism and recent Presidential Selected Reserve Call-ups.
		The Reserve components are moving beyond the issue of accessibility and availability to becoming an integral part of the planning and decision making process regarding total integration.

	DMDC Report No 97-033
		Reserve units have had to adopt the overall military posture of flexible response to both foreign and domestic events such as educating foreign populaces in democratic principles, acting as peacekeepers in the midst of warring parties, and responding to domestic natural disasters like earthquakes and floods.
		The seven Reserve Components represented were the Army National Guard (ARNG), the Army Reserve (USAR), the U.S. Naval Reserve (USNR), the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve (USMCR), the Air National Guard (ANG), the U.S. Air Force Reserve (USAFR), and the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve (USCGR).
		Third, weights were poststratified to adjust sample estimates to conform to the known total number of Reserve members and an estimate of the number of spouses and couples in the Reserve population as a whole.

	Testimony on Readiness Improvements for the Army Reserve Components
		As of the beginning of fiscal year 1978 the Army reserve components were short 49,000 personnel, or 3 percent of their authorized strength for selected reservists.
		Given the reserves' readiness problems and such constraints as limited time to train, it may be that most reserve units would not be effective in assisting active-duty forces early, even with readiness improvements.
		Under this third role for the Army reserve components, readiness improvements would have a low payoff, since the reserves would have time after mobilization to build up their ability to fight.

	Executive Summary
		Among enlisted members, 48 percent of those on active duty and in the Reserve Components were married as of the end of FY 2002.

		Reserve planning is something that every homeowner association, regardless of size, should do because the HOA is entrusted with very expensive assets that affect member home values.
		The "reserve study" breaks down common elements into components and analyzes their current cost of repair or replacement and predicts when that event should take place.
		Ideally, the HOA should fund reserves at a high enough level so that all reserve components are repaired or replaced when due.

		Ultimately, the long-term success of the reserve components depends on managing them in a way that meets troops’ and their families’ expectations and needs, as well as operational requirements, he said.
		The independent Commission on the National Guard and Reserves was established under the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 to recommend any needed changes in law and policy to ensure that the Guard and Reserves are organized, trained, equipped, compensated and supported to meet U.S. national security requirements.
		Current Army policy, for example, is that mobilized reserve component troops will spend up to 12 months in theater, in addition to active duty time spent to train up, ship out and demobilize at the end of their tours.

	PARAMETERS, US Army War College Quarterly - Spring 1999
		Embedded mistrust among the three components, for example, is likely to resurface and impede future initiatives as Army budgets decline.[2] Nevertheless, the wisdom for transitioning into the 21st century as an integrated team is self-evident, making it imperative to find sensible ways to achieve that.
		In reality, the distinctions, particularly between the Reserve Components, are deeply complicated and, to a surprising extent, poorly understood by leaders from all three components.
		By the time of the Vietnam War, Reserve Components were once again purposely left out of the early stages of the war by the Johnson Administration, and only after much pressure from the AC leadership were they called into action.
