<p>Drawdowns in Army funding and in the overall numbers of Soldiers have called attention to the "right sizing" of the "three Armies"-the Active Component, the Army Reserve, and the Army National Guard. As senior leaders of all three components weigh the various options and discuss the merits of an Operational Reserve, it is important that they and civilian policymakers consider the necessary reforms that might have impact on implementing the Army Total Force Policy directed by the Secretary of the Army. The authors examine the tenets of the Army Total Force Policy, the details of what exactly the term "Operational Reserve" means, and the potential obstacles that are currently in place to disrupt successful reform. The monograph includes questions for senior leader policy considerations, examples of potential concerns, and recommendations to help mitigate obstacles in achieving a suitable and workable Total Army end state.</p>

A derailing event, usually before the age of seven, and the resulting false conclusions can subconsciously dominate a person's choices for a lifetime. The concept of 3-4-3 is simple. Three behaviours (perform, rebel or withdraw) that can be different in four lives (public, private, spiritual and sex). The behaviours are driven by three fuels (anger, fear or sadness). Most people develop a consistent behaviour in each of their lives, driven by a dominant emotion. Until they reverse the conclusion they are unlovable, the patterns control their lives.

Exceeds maximum length of 2000 characters; This text opens with a narrative exchange between an Army General and the Active Component (AC) and Reserve Component leaders to showcase the disconnect between what "Operational" Reserve forces can and cannot accomplish and how they can be used by Active Component forces. The monograph looks in-depth at the requirements of both the DoD's directive to manage the Reserve Component as an operational force and the Army's Total Force Policy (ATFP). A number of potential problems with ATFP are examined, and suggestions made to mitigate those problems. An examination of the Army's Force Generation (ARFORGEN) model is also included, with recommendations on how to make the model more useful for planning Reserve Component operations and training. Finally, the authors examine the almighty budget issue and its implications for the future of the Reserve Component.Throughout the monograph there is a discussion of the various mindsets and organizational cultures that permeate the AC, Army National Guard (ARNG), and Army Reserve (USAR). These mindsets and cultures have a tremendous impact on the components' ability to interact, and will play a pivotal role in determining the success of the Army's Total Force efforts.As the Army Reserve Components-the Army Reserve and the Army National Guard-assume an "operational" mission as the force drawdowns in overseas contingency operations occur, the Army senior military and civilian leadership should consider the ramifications and realities of such a mission in what is expected to be a relatively peaceful time. This monograph explores some of these considerations regarding the implementation of the Army Total Force Policy, identifies potential obstacles, and makes recommendations to better engage the "three Armies" in a successful and meaningful reform effort. Throughout, the authors call for significant cultural shifts in thinking about how the Reserve Components are used and integrated into a
