Ac/Rc Integration: Today's Success And Transformation's Challenge

The U.S. Army has had a "Total Forces Policy" for over 30 years, with an increased focus for the past decade on what is now called Active Component/Reserve Component (AC/RC) integration. The modern version is distinguished by an increased frequency of inter-component training, the integration of reserve components into plans and operations for all contingencies, and RC participation in routine shaping operations. Recent successes in integration have come during a period of relative weapons platform and doctrinal stability, but the Army is now undergoing transformation, a period characterized by technological, organizational, and doctrinal turmoil, all of which threatens to undo AC/RC integration's many accomplishments. In the following monograph, Lieutenant Colonel Dallas Owens analyzes current integration programs and initiatives and evaluates them for their potential to resist transformation's possible threat to AC/RC integration. 9781312376205 1312376201 70 Education NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=uyzWoQEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
