Description
Summary:"In The New Guard and Reserve, a diverse group of contributors presents research and analysis on the evolving operational role for the reserve components--the first such research conducted in this context. Topics addressed in this volume include the increased use of the reserves and subsequent stress on the force; the effect of longer and more frequent mobilization on reserve recruiting and retention; the impact of activation--on finances, families, and employers; and potential changes to compensation and benefits. Collectively, this broad set of perspectives and analyses offers a strong foundation for developing policies and practices to more effectively manage, utilize, and sustain the reserves today, and into the future."--P.
