  • America's Military Reserve in the All-Volunteer Era: from Strategic To
    America’s Military Reserve in the All-Volunteer Era: From Strategic to Operational Adapted from remarks by Maj. Gen. Jeffrey E. Phillips, U.S. Army (Ret.), at the March 28 All- Volunteer Force Forum Conference 2019, Angelo State University, San Angelo, Texas Good afternoon and thank you for the invitation to once again be in my adopted Lone Star State, whose beloved name, as all who have lived here know, is spelled without an “A” – Tex-Iss. My friend Maj. Gen. Denny Laich [who had spoken earlier in the conference] has occupied a leading role in the All-Volunteer Force reality show; his work on the topic defines the argument that the AVF is inadequate for the nation’s future – and that now is the time to seriously explore what we should do about the situation. We owe him our thanks for his dedication to the continued security of our nation and the well- being of those who serve in our military. The Pentagon, in its November 2018 end-of-year report on recruiting and retention, disclosed some deficiencies that reinforce any perception that the all-volunteer force is in trouble. The U.S. Army’s accessions were nearly 7,000 under its already reduced annual goal. Neither the Army National Guard nor the Army Reserve made their recruiting goal – the Army Reserve missing by nearly 30 percent. None of the three made their number. The Air National Guard and the Navy Reserve also failed to make their recruiting goals. DoD officials on a budget conference call earlier this month explained that increased enlistment bonuses, more and better advertising, better coordination of marketing, and more and better recruiting would make the difference.

Downes An abstract of a dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Political Science in the Graduate School of Duke University 2007 Copyright by Lindsay P. Cohn 2007 Abstract Contemporary militaries depend on volunteer soldiers capable of dealing with advanced technology and complex missions. An important factor in the successful recruiting, retention, and employment of quality personnel is the set of personnel policies which a military has in place. It might be assumed that military policies on personnel derive solely from the functional necessities of the organization’s mission, given that the stakes of military effectiveness are generally very high. Unless the survival of the state is in jeopardy, however, it will seek to limit defense costs, which may entail cutting into effectiveness. How a state chooses to make the tradeoffs between effectiveness and economy will be subject to influences other than military necessity.

  • Guidance Concerning Selecting Duty Positions for SY 2020-21
    Guidance Concerning Selecting Duty Positions for SY 2020-21 - We are starting the leadership selection process in preparation for next school year. The paragraphs below outline how students will inform the instructors of the duty positions in which they are interested for School Year 2020-21. - All returning cadets will complete the Cadet Leadership Application Form. The form is due to your primary Instructor electronically NLT 17 April (Friday). - Cadets who are interested in the most senior positions in the battalion will also complete the Senior Leadership Position Application and sign up for a Leadership Board time. The senior leader packets will be sent to COL Kardos by 24 April. Leadership boards will be held during 30 Apr- May 5. - Review what positions fall into each category on the third page of this document. - The Battalion Command Group and Primary Staff Officers will be selected and announced following the senior leader boards. We will tentatively fill other positions and finalize those in the fall. Most will not be announced until then. - Due to the lockdown, we will not be able to give volunteers the opportunity to serve as assistants in the staff sections before the end of the school year. However, we may be able to get cadets experience in this work during the summer, if the lockdown is lifted by then. Therefore, cadets should indicate if they are interested in helping on the staff by circling those positions on their application form. This could give you a better chance of getting one of those positions and moving up in rank.
