The Total Force Army of today is made up of both Active and Reserve Component forces. This concept was developed in the early 1970's by then-Army Chief of Staff Abrams. His plan was to integrate the Reserve Components into the Active Army force structure. Fully integrating the Reserve Components into the force structure was done for two reasons: First, it was the only way we could build a force that would present a credible counter to the Warsaw Pact; and second, it would ensure the country never again went to war without the Reserves. Out of this grew the roundout concept where Reserve Component forces, specifically the National Guard, rounded out the force structure of active duty units. This system worked well until the Gulf War, when these roundout units did not deploy with their parent active duty unit. Rather, they went to the National Training Center for postmobilization training and did not go to the Gulf. Since that time there has been an on-going debate on the role of the Reserve Components in the Total Army. Now, with budget considerations, domestic priorities, and a changing world situation forcing a Department of Defense-wide review of roles and missions, this debate is even more timely. This study looks at the history of the Total Force and argues that a thorough, unemotional review of the Total Force of the future is needed. It further argues that both Components have key roles to play in this Force. But the size of that role must be based on readiness and capability; and not on force structure, politics, or service parochialism.

The author, a life member of the Reserve Officer Association and USAR AGR officer, takes a look at how outside organizations with significant influence can be of help to the Total Army. This paper lays out the roles of the Reserve Officer Association, National Guard Association of the United States, and the Association of the United States Army. The three associations have considerable influence in shaping public opinion regarding the integration of the three components of the Total Army. Recommendations are made in areas where the three associations can help deal effectively with a number of the important policy questions confronting the Total Army.

"Forging a Total Force traces the evolution of the Guard and reserve from the Revolutionary War-era militias to today's operational reserve, an integral part of the nation's total force. In the early republic, the ideal of a citizen-solider, capable of taking the field with little or no training, predominated. The realities of modern combat slowly made it clear that a more professional force was required, but policy changes failed to keep up with that changing necessity. The nation struggled to provide adequate training and equipment to the reserve component throughout the Cold War until the idea of a Total Force, which integrated regular and reserve components, emerged and was achieved. It wasn't until the defense buildup of the 1980s that the ideal of a combat-ready reserve became reality. The core of this book focuses on what came next, from 1990 to 2011, with particular emphasis on the decade after 9/11. The Persian Gulf War demonstrated both the effectiveness of the reserve and the challenges it continued to face. The post-Cold War drawdown during the 1990s made the smaller active component more dependent on the reserves than it had been since the nation's founding. The reserve component proved itself yet again in the wars following 9/11, but also became strained as it became clear just how much the nation depended on its Guard and reserve. Finally, the authors detail the policy changes made midstream in an attempt to address issues with the overextended force, such as balancing training and deployment with civilian lives and careers, providing health care to reservists, and integrating the active and reserve components. The authors conclude by detailing the issues policymakers will face as they forge ahead with citizen-soldiers serving as an operational force."--Provided by publisher.
