WHEREAS, under the Total Force Policy the Armed Forces have become increasingly reliant on the Reserve components to fulfill their missions of ensuring an adequate national security, and students in the commissioned officer training schools form a significant portion of the active duty officer personnel;
WHEREAS, these same officers have the potential for becoming a significant part of the future Reserve components, yet receive only one to seven hours of specific instruction regarding the importance of the Reserve and National Guard duties in officer training school curricula; and
WHEREAS, this limited amount of military, naval and aerospace instruction fails to make these students significantly aware of the possibility of continuing their military careers as members of the Selected or Ready Reserve at the end of their required active duty tours, thus retaining the services of trained officers;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Reserve Officers Association of the United States, chartered by Congress, urge the Department of Defense to develop, through its Regular and Reserve components service chiefs, an expanded and more specific curriculum that outlines the importance and benefits of entering a Reserve component, and that this information be placed in teaching materials for instruction at all commissioned officer training schools.
