This monograph identifies areas where the U.S. Army and other services can potentially benefit from examining the United Kingdom’s comparable program of reserve reform. Key areas where aspects of this reform have been entirely counterproductive are identified, as well as specific and expensive recent British mistakes which are essential for the U.S. military to avoid. The aim of this monograph is to highlight the lessons learned by the U.K. Reserve Forces, both in terms of successes and challenges, as well as to explore the feasibility of achieving the proposals set out by Future Reserves 2020. This may be useful for the United States moving forward, as the need to cut defense spending further is likely, and the U.K. may serve as a good model for operating with a smaller budget.
This text includes case studies, and will appeal to military strategists, policy analysts, organization behavior analysts, U.S. policymakers, and military leaders. The Reserve commands of the U.S. armed forces will also be interested in this text because it provides useful views of prior experience in organizing and integrating reserve forces, and presents a valuable addition on how to plan the future shape of the U.S. Army. Students taking military science and management classes, especially relating to the deployment of personnel, may find this lessons learned monograph helpful.
