National Guard and Reserve Equipment Report for FY2015
NATIONAL GUARD AND RESERVE EQUIPMENT REPORT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2015 (NGRER FY 2015) (In Accordance with Section 10541, Title 10, United States Code) March 2014 Prepared by Department of Defense Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense (Materiel and Facilities) COL Denise L. Loring, Editor Washington, DC 20301-1500 The estimated cost of this report for the Department of Defense is approximately $292,000 in Fiscal Years 2013–2014. Generated on 2014Feb28 RefID: 0-43F5A8A OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF DEFENSE 1500 DEFENSE PENTAGON WASHINGTON, DC 20301-1500 FOREWORD The Reserve Component (RC) allows for expanded capacity and capability as a cost-effective part of the Total Force with global reach and flexibility. Since 2001, the RC has supported more than 875,000 mobilizations worldwide. Budgetary pressures will continue to require astute management of reduced resources to mitigate their effects. The RC provides capability and capacity at a reduced cost in a time of funding reductions across all components. The RC, when integrated as part of the operational force during armed conflict and peacetime, provides for a cost-effective force mix at acceptable levels of risk to support the defense strategy. The RC equipment levels are at some of the highest levels in history; however this era of postwar fiscal reductions will bring significant equipping challenges over the next several years. The Department has made strides in enhancing equipment transparency and accountability, but has not yet attained transparency into the Services procurement and distribution processes and outcomes. The Department must explore other options, such as separating the RC procurement funding, to meet the intent of the Commission on the National Guard and Reserve initiatives on equipping inadequacies between Active Component (AC) and RC. -

Joint and Combined Warfare in the Twenty-First Century
Joint and Combined Warfare in the Twenty-first Century Williamson Murray Introduction It is indeed a great honor to present a paper on the future of Joint and Combined operations in the twenty-first century before such a distinguished audience. To do so, this paper will begin with an examination of the historical antecedents of these two forms of warfare up to the present; and end with thoughts about the role of joint and combined operations in the twenty-first century. To do so, we will begin by discussing the fundamental, unchanging nature of war to indicate why a purely technological, mechanistic conception of war would destroy the very joint capabilities on which military forces from the First World must depend in the coming century. Let me begin then with some thoughts on the political nature of war. As the Greek historian Thucydides, the greatest of all strategic and military historians, commented at the end of the fifth century B.C.: “It will be enough for me, however, if these words of mine are judged useful by those who want to understand clearly the events which happened in the past and which (human nature being what it is) will, at some time or other and in much the same ways, be repeated in the future.”1 Men have fought wars for enumerable reasons, but states fight wars for political reaso 276ns.2 Or as Clausewitz put it so simply: “it is clear, consequently, that war is not a mere act of policy, but a true political instrument, a continuation of political activity by other means.”3 “War 1 Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War, translated by Rex Warner (New York, reprinted 1986), p. -

JP 0-2, "Unified Action Armed Forces (UNAAF)"
Joint Publication 0-2 Unified Action Armed Forces (UNAAF) 10 July 2001 The enduring theme, “joint warfare is team warfare,” is an attitude based on the foundation of joint doctrine that is universally understood and practiced. This team approach ensures the most effective employment of US forces for joint warfare. If we are to continue to improve the structure of US forces for joint warfare, everyone must be involved. Capstone publications Joint Warfare of the Armed Forces of the United States and this publication, Unified Action Armed Forces (UNAAF), provide the foundation for all the joint publications. Unified Action Armed Forces (UNAAF) provides the basic doctrine and policy governing the unified direction of forces and discusses the functions of the Department of Defense and its major components. This revision represents the evolution in US warfighting guidance since the last edition, serves as the policy document for all command relationships and other authorities directed by law, and clarifies these relationships. This publication also sets forth the concepts, relationships, and processes necessary for unified action of joint, interagency, and multinational operations and specifies fundamental principles and concepts for joint operations. The nature of modern warfare demands that we fight as a team. Unified action resulting from clear command relationships and unity of effort is crucial to making this possible. Commanders must ensure the widest distribution and application of this and other supporting joint publications in order to enable success in joint force employment. HENRY H. SHELTON Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff PREFACE 1. Scope publication to restrict the authority of the JFC from organizing the force and executing the The principles set forth in this publication mission in a manner the JFC deems most will be applied to accomplish congressional appropriate to ensure unity of effort in the intent expressed in the National Security Act accomplishment of the overall mission. -
