"Transforming the Reserve Component: Four Essays" contains four
essays on various aspects of the Reserve Component. We publish it
at a time when Reserves are serving overseas at historically high
rates and when new missions like homeland security demand their
attention. In these essays, the authors explore ways in which the
Reserve Component might be transformed to face these challenges.
The first essay calls for a fundamental restructuring of the
Reserve Component in light of the largest mobilization since the
Korean War, which has been fraught with problems in terms of combat
readiness as well as pay, morale, and retention. Hans Binnendijk
and Gina Cordero argue that a high-level national commission may be
needed to design and gain support for that restructuring. In the
second essay, Stephen M. Duncan calls for a complete re-thinking of
U.S. security requirements and the related force structure, with an
emphasis on the homeland security mission. In the new security
environment, the American homeland needs to be considered as part
of the battlespace. Duncan explores which conventional and homeland
security missions should be assigned to Active Force Units and
which to Reservists. Raymond E. Bell, Jr. argues in the third essay
that one of the challenges facing Army transformation is the lack
of a shared culture between the Active and Reserve Components. Bell
examines how these separate cultures have negatively affected the
Army's effectiveness as an organization and offers recommendations
that move towards cultural change. Civil Affairs units are a
central element to stabilization and reconstruction operations that
require an integrated military and civilian response. The final
essay by Michael J. Baranick, Christopher Holshek, and Larry Wentz
proposes several ways to improve the overall effectiveness of Civil
Affairs units.
