The Defense Education Forum (DEF) of the Reserve Officers Association invites you to attend the following event:
Reserve Component Challenges and Opportunities
The Reserve Components of the military have made key
contributions to our national security over the past quarter century and their
role continues to evolve. Major
studies such as that made by the Commission on the National Guard and Reserves
(CNGR) in 2008; the Comprehensive Review on Utilization of the Future Role of
the Reserve Component in 2011 and the recent Cost Elements report of the Reserve
Forces Policy Board (RFPB) have laid out many specific issues, missions and recommendations to prepare and utilize the Reserve Components of the
future. In addition, the Army just
released its new Total Force Policy which also has substantial impact on the
Army Reserve components. This event
will review the above initiatives, take into consideration the current fiscal
environment and look into the future as to opportunities that may be created.
