Strategic:

Develop, Plan, Program, & Resource Army Reserve 2025 as a versatile mix of

technical & tactical capabilities in service to the Total Force.

Develop National Leaders by leveraging military & civilian skills, training &

experiences from the private & public sectors.

Sustain the Army Reserve as an All-Volunteer Force comprised of resilient

Soldiers, Civilians & Families supported by engaged employers & caring

communities.

Ensure Army Reserve Soldiers & Civilians are Committed to the Army & the

Profession of Arms - Tell the Army’s story, be a “Soldier for Life.”

Use the “Plan, Prepare, Provide” & “Private Public Partnership” initiatives of

the Army Reserve to generate Individual, Leader & Unit readiness; Know & use

Army Reserve Ambassadors

Maximize the Army Reserve’s Unique Global Command Capabilities.

Priorities


Operational:

Lead & Grow Leaders to Serve the Army –

• Instill trust & confidence.

• Use training events as your basic model for growing leaders.

Man & Care for Our Force –

• Everyone has the responsibility to recruit & retain.

• Reach out to those who are hurting; we can prevent suicides.

Train to Standard –

• Training is a command team responsibility.

• Make sure your battle assemblies are NOT administrative Assemblies.

Use Resources Responsibly

• Do less with less, but whatever you do, do it better than anyone else

• Create a culture of cost management & audit readiness;

Generate Readiness in All that You Do

• The Unit Status Report is your report card for readiness

• Don’t do things that do not generate readiness

Live the Army Values, Enforce Accountability & Discipline

• We have no place in our Army for sexual assault or harassment of any kind

• Don’t tolerate anyone who fails to meet these non-negotiable values

Reserve Components support the Joint Force in all Phases

The Army Reserve provides relevant capabilities across all phases of Joint Operations.


The Army’s Operational Reserve at Risk

Without the right policy, authorities, and resources, Reserve Components

become less operational and place Service and Joint Force missions at risk.

Risk Factors:

The Services & the Joint Force Need an Operational Reserve for

Today's Complex, Uncertain World

Total Force Policy & Authorities (e.g. 12304b) are Not Enough by

Themselves

Adequate Resourcing (e.g. Training, Manning, Modernization) is

also Required

Lack of Resourcing may Relegate much of the Reserve Components

to Revert to a Strategic Reserve Role


Benefits:

Mitigates Risk for a Smaller Active Force

Supports the All-Volunteer Force

Informs Resourcing Decisions for Reduced Costs

Provides Predictability to Combatant Commands, Services, Service

Members, Units, Families, & Employers

Benefits of Sustaining an Operational Reserve

The RC should be used in both strategic & operational roles to meet Total Force requirements.


Sustaining an Operational Reserve:

Fully Implement Total Force Policy & Continuum of Service

Plan, Program, & Budget Consistent with Total Force Policy

Invest in Leader Development (e.g., One Army School System)

Enhance Full Time Support – Title 11

Plan, Program, & Utilize 12304b*

Plan, Prepare, & Provide Readiness Model

Enhance Readiness Through P3

Modernize Equipment

Sustaining an Operational Reserve

We cannot afford to regress to a one-dimensional strategic force under tiered readiness.

Without the right policy, authorities, and resources, Reserve Components

become less operational and place Service and Joint Force missions at risk.

*Title 10 Section 12304b expands the

Army’s ability to meet combatant command

preplanned mission requirements.


USAR Recommendations for the National

Commission on the Future of the Army

• Maintain Three Army Components and Affirm Their Roles and Missions– Operational Imperative: Maintain the “dual-hatted” role of Chief of Army Reserve and Commanding

General, U. S. Army Reserve Command

• Sustain the Operational Reserve– Operational Imperative: Fully implement DoDD 1200.17 Managing the Reserve Components as an

Operational Force and expand the definition of 12304b to include not only preplanned missions but also exercises and training events

• Fully Implement Army Total Force Policy– Operational Imperative: Expedite Army Total Force Policy (ATFP) implementation for the One Army

School System (OASS) and other Total Army training integration initiatives

– Operational Imperative: Fully Integrate Continuum of Service Activities Across the Army.

• Improve Total Army Readiness with Enhanced Full-Time Support– Operational Imperative: Maintain Full Time Support (FTS) Resourcing at Current Levels, and

Reinitiate and Resource the Title 11 Program

• Anticipate Army Reserve Use in the Homeland

• Expand Army Reserve Core Competencies to Include Special Forces (SF)

• Endorse the Aviation Restructure Initiative


Future Force (1 of 2)

Prevent conflict, shape the security environment, and win wars.

The Army Operating Concept (AOC)

• Provides the conceptual foundation for developing the future Army

• Regional Engagement, Global Response, Sustained Security

AOC Central Ideas

• Protect the homeland and engage regionally

• Create options for responding to and resolving crises

• Assure access through engagement & joint forcible entry

operations

• Conduct joint combined arms maneuver from multiple locations

and across domains

• Preserve joint force freedom of movement and action

• Exercise mission command


Future Force (2 of 2)

Delivering landpower capabilities as a strategic instrument of the future joint force – Sec Army.

Force 2025 & Beyond

• Multi-year strategy to transition today’s Army to the Army of the future

o Adapt the current force

o Evolve the mid-term force for a leaner, more expeditionary, more

capable Army

o Innovate: set the conditions for fundamental change by 2030-

2040

The Future Force is prepared to fight and win in a complex world

Future Force and the AR

Ready and integrated Total Force of the future

Force 2025 & Beyond requires collaborative Total Force

solutions. The USAR is fully engaged in F2025 activities to

achieve:

• A more integrated and ready Total Force

• Optimized AC/RC mix: maximizing the strengths while

minimizing the limitations of each component

• A relevant Operational Reserve

• The AR remains the Army’s premier Title 10 reserve life-saving

and life-sustaining Citizen-Soldier force for the Nation.
