In the nearly two decades since the Nixon administration decided to
withdraw U.S. armed forces from Vietnam and to end their dependence
on conscription, America's military institution has undergone
substantial changes. One of the most pronounced has been the
increased reliance on Army reserve components, which today shoulder
unprecedented responsibilities for protecting the nations security.
Of special importance have been the growing expectations about the
capabilities and readiness of the Army National Guard and the Army
Reserve. Reserve components would now be among the first to be used
in a range of possible conflicts--from limited contingencies
involving rapid deployment forces to a major confrontation in
Central Europe between NATO and the Warsaw Pact. This shift has
been instituted with little public fanfare or debate yet the
consequences could be dramatic and far-reaching. It raises the
central question Binkin and Kaufmann address: How has greater
reliance on Army reserves affected the nation's ability to protect
its security?
