This thesis is a study of the training variable of the combat readiness equation as it concerns Reserve Component (RC) maneuver battalions. The total Force policy places an extraordinary responsibility on the RC to be combat ready with little or no post-mobilization training. This requirement is unprecedented in our nation's history.

This thesis is a study of the training variable of the combat readiness equation as it concerns Reserve Component (RC) maneuver battalions. The total Force policy places an extraordinary responsibility on the RC to be combat ready with little or no post-mobilization training. This requirement is unprecedented in our nation's history. The data for this thesis were gleaned from numerous military and civilian sources that have been published in the last 10 years. Also consulted were primary sources from the Army's Command and General Staff College and Headquarters, Forces Command. The study concludes that readiness determination is hampered by the lack of a well-defined, measurable definition of readiness. This fact coupled with the lack of available training time and the need for a more comprehensive training effort results in Reserve Component units ill-prepared for their commitments. To solve this dilemma the national military and civilian leadership must follow through with the concept of the Total Force policy and provide guidance and resources to ensure combat readiness of early-deploying combat units.
