(2018 National Defense Strategy) I. Introduction Today’s complex security environment is defined by rapid technological change, fiscal uncertainty, and challenges from adversaries in every operating domain. Near-peer threats have expanded the competitive space and closed gaps in both capability and capacity. In this contemporary operating environment, the Reserve Components (RC) provide an operational force that combatant commanders rely on during all phases of conflict. As the Department of Defense (DoD) prepares to meet the challenge of this changing security environment, there is no question that an operational reserve will continue to play a significant role in future missions. In order to meet these demands, certain Reserve and National Guard units must be ready to deploy with little or no notice and quickly and seamlessly assimilate with active units. When supporting combatant commanders, RCs will require advanced technology hardware in order to ensure the same level of compatibility, survivability, lethality, mobility, and network connectivity as the Joint Force they are fighting alongside. Unfortunately, there are significant systemic challenges with the current process for funding and procurement of new technology that impede the implementation of modernization Rapidly evolving strategies—particularly for the RCs which make up 40 technologies and an percent of the total force. Rapidly evolving technologies and equipping model that relies an equipping model that relies upon cascading older, legacy upon cascading older, equipment to the RCs, risks outpacing the concept of a Total legacy equipment to the Force. Because the pace of competition is increasing, DoD RCs, risks outpacing the will achieve and maintain a technological edge only by concept of a Total Force.
