WHERE THE ARMY RESERVE IS HEADING

• A Complementary Force vs. a Supplementary Force
  no longer a force in reserve
• Inactive Duty to Active Duty to Inactive Duty
• Mission Capable not mobilization capable
• Reduced structure with same end strengthfully
  manned units with modernized equipment
• TTHS Account to account for non-ready soldiers
• Practiced, Institutionalized, Leader Development
  and Growth through PME and Developmental
  Assignments
• PME outside the unit while in a training status

CS/CSS TRANSFORMATION OBJECTIVES

• Reduce strategic lift requirements
• Reduce logistics footprint in area of operations
  with the commonality in equipment platforms
• Reduce inventories through management of like
  type equipment requirements
• Reduce costs through reduced inventories and
  force structure
• Reduce OS costs and training time
• Reduction in requisitioning, shipping and
  receiving errors

Modern Equipment

ARMY RESERVE CSS TRANSFORMATION

• Optimize force structure through the Army RESET
  
• process (personnel equipment)
• Maintain readiness posture
• Single Theater CS/CSS (Theater Support Command)
• Forward presence

ARMY RESERVE EQUIPPING SOURCES

• New Procurement
• Projected in Procurement-1R submission (require
  a minimum of 400M per year)
• Funded through Other Procurement, Army
  appropriation
• The Redistribution or Cascading of Equipment
  from the Active Component
• The Army Reserve has 42 of the Armys combat
  service support structure
• As such, little combat service support
  equipment is cascaded from the Active Component
  to the Army
• Reserve
• Likewise, little or no funding accompanies the
  equipment that is cascaded to restore it to the
  appropriate
• standards
• Recapitalization of Old (Legacy) Equipment
• The rebuild and selected upgrade of currently
  fielded systems to a zero mile/zero time system
• Limited benefit from Army Recap program for
  the Army Reserve
• Congressional Adds
• Funding earmarked for specific equipment

UNIT/DEPOT LEVEL MAINTENANCE ISSUES

• Unit Readiness Reporting only reports
  approximately 9 of total equipment.
• Operational Readiness rates for non-reportable
  equipment is a challenge for the Army Reserve
  because of the age of the non-reportable TWV
  fleet......limited visibility.
• Additional maintenance and rebuild funds are
  needed to support aging Army Reserve tactical
  wheeled vehicles and the increase in OPTEMPO due
  to OIF requirements.

14
SUMMARY

• Lack of adequate funding stream to purchase or
  upgrade TWV fleet
• Reduced or decremented system quantities and
  delayed fieldings impacts the ability to meet
  Transformation goals
• Aging equipment is expensive and
  labor-intensive to maintain and sustainment
  funding must be increased
• Substitute or in-lieu-of items perpetuate
  incompatibility and interoperability issues.
  These incompatibility issues create impediments
  to supporting the digitized force and OIF
  requirements
• Limited benefit from Army Recap program for the
  Army Reserve
• BOTTOMLINE
• Shortage of new equipment procurement (P-1R)
  makes funding provided through NGREA,
  Congressional Add and support of Depot
  Maintenance Programs vital to the readiness of
  the Army Reserve TWV fleet

• First is the Soldier. Our Soldiers are
  paramount. They will remain the centerpiece of
  our thinking, our systems, and our combat
  formations. We must always remember, Humans are
  more important than hardware.
• We must always remember that Soldiers ARE the
  Army.
