From at least 1995 until 2001 the Army Reserve Troop Program Unit (TPU) shortage of Army Promotion List (APL) company grade officers has increased. It will continue to increase under the existing status quo. Several factors contribute to this shortage. Among the most significant of these include accessioning too few lieutenants in recent years, creating some adverse impacts that increased attrition while implementing the Reserve Officer Personnel Management Act (ROPMA), and having to rely on a much smaller manpower pool for potential TPU assignments.

The Army Reserve can no longer rely on the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) to meet its lieuten
