History

Military

Rand Publishing

Legislation passed by Congress in 1993 to address Army reserve component (RC) readiness problems directed the Army to provide active component support to RC units. Since that time, the Army has also taken additional steps to ensure the readiness of RC units. Based on analysis of this history and the Army’s plans for RC training requirements and training support, this report recommends further changes to support future RC training plans.

Because of the widespread use of the Global Positioning System (GPS) for positioning, navigation, and timing (PNT), concerns have been expressed that a disruption of GPS might require a national investment in backup capabilities. The authors assess the costs associated with realistic threats to domestic, nonmilitary uses of GPS, and review possible additions to the PNT ecosystem in light of those costs.

The authors examine how changes in training requirements affect soldiers' interest in staying in the U.S. Army Reserve (USAR) and how their civilian employment and family situations influence that decision. The authors use administrative data and a survey to investigate both the likely impacts of changing unit-level USAR training requirements on retention outcomes and the overall preferences of USAR soldiers with respect to training load.
