    FOREWARD Your Air Force Reserve is a combat- ready force, composed of more than 70,000 proud reservists, stationed locally throughout the United States, serving globally for every Combatant Command around the world. We provide our Nation with operational capability, strategic depth and surge capacity whenever America needs us. We are an integrated Total Force partner in every Air Force core mission: Air and Space Superiority, Global Strike, Rapid Global Mobility, Intelligence, Surveillance, James F. Jackson, and Reconnaissance, and Command Lt Gen, USAF and Control. In an increasingly limited fiscal environment, reservists remain efficient and cost-effective solutions to our nation’s challenges. The majority of our Citizen Airmen serve part time, making us a highly efficient force, averaging about a third of the cost of active duty Airmen. Perhaps our greatest strength is we retain ‘Airmen for life,’ preserving the considerable investments and expertise of our Airmen beyond their Cameron B. Kirksey, active duty service. In times of crisis, we Command CMSgt can call upon our strategic depth of an additional 785,000 Airmen from the Individual Ready Reserve, Standby Reserve, Retired Reserve and Retired Active Duty. To meet future challenges, the Air Force Reserve works as a member of the “Total Force”, alongside active duty and Air National Guardsmen. This strong, three-component team is ready for combat or humanitarian relief operations worldwide. Since 2012, the Air Force Reserve can also be mobilized to respond to domestic requirements here at home. 01 Dual-use capabilities such as airlift, aeromedical evacuation and personnel recovery are equally valuable, both in-theater and for homeland support.

    United States General Accounting Office Report to the Chairman, Committee on GAO National Security, House of Representatives August 1996 MILITARY READINESS Data and Trends for April 1995 to March 1996 GOA years 1921 - 1996 GAO/NSIAD-96-194 United States General Accounting Office GAO Washington, D.C. 20548 National Security and International Affairs Division B-272379 August 2, 1996 The Honorable Floyd Spence Chairman, Committee on National Security House of Representatives Dear Mr. Chairman: As you requested, we have updated our Military Readiness report 1 through March 31, 1996, to determine if the data show significant changes. Also, we reviewed readiness data for selected units participating in the Bosnia operation to see whether the operation has affected readiness. This report provides unclassified readiness information on the four military services. Specifically, it (1) assesses readiness trends of selected units from each service from April 1, 1995, to March 31, 1996, with particular emphasis on units that reported degraded readiness during the prior period and (2) assesses readiness trends (for the period Oct.1, 1995, to Mar. 31, 1996) for selected units that participated in the Bosnia operation. On June 26, 1996, we provided a classified briefing to the staff of the Subcommittee on Military Readiness, House Committee on National Security, on the results of our work. This letter summarizes the unclassified information presented in that briefing. Background The Status of Resources and Training System (SORTS) is the Department of Defense’s (DOD) automated reporting system that identifies the current level of selected resources and training status of a unit—that is, its ability to undertake its wartime mission.
