FOREWORD 

The Reserve Component (RC) allows for expanded capacity and capability as a cost-effective 

part of the Total Force with global reach and flexibility. Since 2001, the RC has supported more 

than 875,000 mobilizations worldwide. 

Budgetary pressures will continue to require astute management of reduced resources to mitigate 

their effects. The RC provides capability and capacity at a reduced cost in a time of funding 

reductions across all components. The RC, when integrated as part of the operational force 

during armed conflict and peacetime, provides for a cost-effective force mix at acceptable levels 

of risk to support the defense strategy. 

The RC equipment levels are at some of the highest levels in history; however this era of postwar 

fiscal reductions will bring significant equipping challenges over the next several years. The 

Department has made strides in enhancing equipment transparency and accountability, but has 

not yet attained transparency into the Services procurement and distribution processes and 

outcomes. The Department must explore other options, such as separating the RC procurement 

funding, to meet the intent of the Commission on the National Guard and Reserve initiatives on 

equipping inadequacies between Active Component (AC) and RC. Unless the RC continues to 

be considered an indispensable part of the Total Force and resourced appropriately, equipment 

levels are likely to wane with potentially dire consequences. 

Since 1982, Congress has funded the National Guard and Reserve Equipment Appropriation 

(NGREA) for procurement of aircraft, missiles, tracked combat vehicles, ammunition, weapons, 

and other procurement for the RC. We are extremely grateful to Congress for this supplement, 

but the Department needs to be cautious that the supplement does not become the primary means 

of equipping the RC. We will continue to emphasize increased communication with Congress to 

garner a common understanding concerning RC equipment on-hand and modernization levels. 

Going forward, we will continue to strive to find an appropriate balance between the AC and a 

well-equipped and well-trained RC ready to assume full mission responsibility when called. 

Sincerely, 

Richard O. Wightman, Jr.

Chapter 1 Overview 

I. Strategic Context 

A mission-ready Reserve Component (RC) is critical to our National Security Strategy. To 

maintain mission readiness in today’s fiscal environment, a Total Force policy supporting 

employment of the RC in both operational and strategic roles is essential for ensuring a relevant 

well-equipped and well-trained RC. Future force planning initiatives will focus Military 

Departments on best Total Force mix determination through organizational assessment based on 

capability, capacity, cost and readiness. 

Current budget reductions will also impact future Total Force mix determination. These 

reductions will drive careful consideration of appropriate Active Component (AC)/RC structure 

based on resource optimization. A merging of military capabilities, across the AC/RC, increases 

the overall capability and capacity with ready-trained forces at a more efficient cost. In a postAfghanistan environment, using RC forces as a rotational presence, rather than maintaining a 

forward-based force facilitates an AC/RC partnership geared to support combatant commander 

requirements. A strategic AC/RC mix based on operation plans also promotes an enduring 

relationship between units. Maintaining manning levels, training programs, and equipment 

availability will ensure an operationally ready RC. 

II. Scope of the Report 

The National Guard and Reserve Equipment Report (NGRER), mandated in section 10541 of 

title 10, United States Code, is a statutory requirement that reflects Congressional interest in 

ensuring a well-equipped and robust RC capability within the armed forces. The NGRER 

identifies major items of equipment in the RC inventories that are important to the Services, 

DoD, and Congress, and also outlines how that equipment is being acquired and disposed of by 

the Reserves for the budget year and the two succeeding years. Data on equipment included in 

the report consist of high-value, mission-essential equipment requirements, critical equipment 

shortages, Service procurements, supplemental funding for the RC, and items procured with 

National Guard and Reserve Equipment Appropriation (NGREA) funding. 

The FY 2008 National Defense Authorization Act directed new equipment reporting 

requirements for the National Guard’s capability to perform its Federal responsibilities (e.g., 

suppress insurrections, provide assistance in cases of weapons of mass destruction or terrorist 

attacks, or execute the laws of the United States) in response to an emergency or major disaster. 

This guidance is highlighted in its entirety in Appendix A, and the National Guard Bureau 

responds to the requirements in Appendix B. 

The three charts in this chapter present a broad overview of previous major items reported in the 

NGRER, major item shortages in terms of dollar amounts, and the recent tracking through the 

current budget year of procurement funding for the RC. These introductory charts are summary 

and historical in nature and do not indicate the comprehensive dollar requirement that would be 

needed to fully fund Reserve capabilities. Detail on potential costs, such as modernization of 

existing systems is contained, where appropriate, in the chapters on the respective individual RC. 
1-2 

RC inventories include thousands of different types of equipment. The FY 2015 NGRER 

highlights 913 major equipment types whose total dollar value comprises approximately 

85 percent of the value of all RC equipment. This report presents the results of analysis of RC 

inventories based primarily on the dollar value of the equipment, which allows the aggregation, 

comparison, and summary of diverse types of equipment. The procurement costs are from the 

Services’ official data and are either the latest procurement cost adjusted for inflation or the 

current replacement cost. 

Chart 1-1 shows the number of types of equipment included in previous NGRERs to Congress. 

These numbers are provided for perspective and comparison with previous reports and do not 

represent the entire inventory of RC major items.

III. Equipment Shortages 

Chart 1-2 shows the dollar value of the current total major equipment requirements and inventories 

for each RC. The information this chart displays indicates the requirement for new procurement for 

the RC; however, it does not indicate capabilities, shortfalls, or compatibility mismatch with the 

AC due to modernization requirements. 

The Army National Guard (ARNG) and Army Reserve (AR) equipment shortages are not included 

in Chart 1-2. The Army Chart 1-2 shortage data submitted was not transparent enough to determine 

shortfalls for the purpose of this chart. The Army data as submitted requires further analysis and 

calls into question the definition of modernized equipment. The FY 2014 NGRER displayed an 

Army RC aggregate shortage of $38.6B. 

The Air National Guard (ANG) indicates a 5.5% shortage of its major items as of the beginning of 

FY 2014. However, the ANG has indicated an additional $8.26B of needs for modernization and 

recapitalization of the ANG aircraft fleet and associated equipment in its 2013 Weapons Systems 

Modernization Priorities book. 

The Marine Corps Reserve (USMCR) reflects a 13.3 percent shortage of its major items; however, 

the USMCR is equipped to a home station training allowance only. More information on the 
1-3 

Marine Corps equipping strategy and the USMCR's use of a training allowance can be found in the 

Service's chapter.

V. The Reserve Components’ Equipping Concerns 

This segment briefly summarizes the principal equipping concerns of each RC. The components’ 

individual chapters treat these subjects in more detail. 

A. The Army National Guard (ARNG) 

The past decade of conflict has forged the ARNG into an operational force capable of rapid and 

effective employment at home or abroad. The ARNG of 2013 is the best-equipped force in its long 

history. ARNG equipment on-hand levels have increased from 77 percent just four years ago to 

91 percent today. 

The ARNG’s top equipping focus areas are:

2014
1-5 

1. Modernize the ARNG helicopter fleet: The aviation modernization effort is 

generally on track. The modernization of the ARNG UH-60 Blackhawk fleet is of 

concern, being the oldest in the Army. The H-60 series modernization is delayed by 

budget reductions and slowing cascades from the AC. CH-47D conversion to CH-47F 

is fully funded. The ARNG AH-64D fleet will be Block II-pure in FY 2017. 

2. Modernize the ARNG tactical wheeled vehicle fleet: Tactical wheeled vehicles 

(TWV) have seen dramatic increases to modernized equipment on-hand levels since 

2001, with 82 percent of the TWV fleet considered modern in 2013. 

3. Procure engineer equipment to fill shortfalls in modernization equipment:

Equipment shortfalls due to modernization levels of legacy equipment include general 

engineering equipment consisting of firefighting, support, and construction 

equipment.

4. Maintain the ARNG to no less than 80 percent of Critical Dual Use equipment 

on-hand: Critical Dual Use (CDU) equipment items are those Army items 

determined critical to the support of homeland defense and Defense Support of Civil 

Authorities missions. Current CDU equipment on-hand levels are at 92 percent, an 

increase from 65 percent at the time of the 2005 Hurricane Katrina response. 

5. Improve the ARNG command and control capability by focusing on fielding 

Army mission command systems to ARNG brigade combat teams: Joint 

Capabilities Release–Blue Force Tracker (JCR-BFT) is a key situational awareness 

and command and control system. Currently, the JCR-BFT vehicular system is only 

being field to deploying units at reduced authorizations.

6. Build essential field-level maintenance facilities to effectively repair, service, and 

maintain ARNG equipment: Many ARNG shop facilities are more than 50 years 

old and are neither designed nor equipped to provide a safe, environmentally-friendly 

workplace, capable of meeting the demands of the Army’s two-level maintenance 

doctrine to support and maintain a modern and complex, up-armored vehicle fleet.

B. The Army Reserve (AR) 

The Army Reserve provides a critical portion of the Army’s contingency response force as an 

operationally adaptive capability focused on combat support and combat service support. The 

Army Reserve is leaning forward to play a vital role in support of homeland defense and Defense 

Support of Civil Authorities missions. 

The Army Reserves’ top equipping focus areas are: 

1. Obtain affordable and cost-effective equipping solutions: Over the past several years, 

the Army has greatly improved the compatibility and modernization of Army Reserve 

equipment. However, some units will continue to have legacy equipment. While the 

Army Reserve has explored initiatives to mitigate these compatibility differences for 

deploying units through internal cross-leveling during pre-mobilization preparations, 
1-6 

redistributing equipment is not an affordable or cost-effective solution since it 

consistently consumes limited financial resources.

2. Resource and sustain critical equipment and support infrastructure to maintain the 

Army Reserve as part of an operational force: For the Army Reserve to remain a ready 

and operational force, it must be funded and equipped appropriately. A lack of adequate 

resources risks the Army Reserve’s ability to conduct effective, timely, sustained 

operations.

3. Refine equipping strategy to support homeland defense (HD) and Defense Support 

of Civil Authorities (DSCA): The quality and quantity of Army Reserve equipment 

received enhances interoperability with joint, interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational partners, in support of global operations. In addition, efforts to improve and 

sustain modernization of CDU equipment enables the Army Reserve to employ unique 

capabilities required to execute HD missions and serve as a lifesaving and life sustaining 

force for the Nation in response to DSCA missions.

4. Reestablish Light Tactical Vehicle (LTV) recapitalization program: A significant 

modernization shortfall is developing within the Army Reserve LTV fleet, including 

armor-capable and ambulance high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles 

(HMMWVs). The Army Reserve is projected to maintain the HMMWV within the LTV 

fleet through FY 2045. The absence of a recapitalization program to modernize the LTV 

fleet will generate a significant increase in sustainment costs and degrade readiness.

C. The United States Marine Corps (USMCR) 

The Marine Corps Reserve is an integral element of the Marine Corps total force providing 

support to operations in Afghanistan, while concurrently sourcing combatant commander 

requirements for a variety of missions, easily transitioning from a strategic force to an 

operational force at the peak of readiness. 

The Marine Corps Reserve’s top equipping challenges are: 

1. Transition to the KC-130J Super Hercules: Compatibility differences between the 

KC-130J and KC-130T are creating significant challenges in training, manning, and 

logistical support of the KC-130T. Accelerating the RC transition to the KC-130J is a 

priority for the Marine Corps Reserve. 

2. Procurement of the RQ-21A Blackjack Small Tactical Unmanned Aircraft System 

(STUAS): The RQ-21A will provide the Marine expeditionary force a dedicated 

intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance system capable of delivering intelligence 

products directly to the tactical commander in real time. This program is still in low rate 

initial production with AC procurement beginning in FY 2014. The RC is scheduled to 

receive the RQ-21A at the end of the current fielding plan but falls outside of the Future 

Years Defense Plan. Lack of these systems creates a significant capability gap between 

RC and AC forces.

D. The United States Navy Reserve (USNR) 

The Navy has established a seamless and fully integrated Total Force. The Navy Reserve is a 

force multiplier that can be used periodically and predictably, providing operational support 

when and where it is needed at a cost-savings to the Navy. Within the Navy, senior leadership 

identifies RC requirements and priorities for new equipment as part of the Navy’s resource 

allocation process. This equipment is used to generate and sustain fleet readiness during at-home 

training and deployed operations and is ready to surge forward in response to a request for forces 

from the Navy. 

The Navy Reserve’s top equipping challenges continue to be: 

1. Aircraft procurement (C-40A, E/A-18G, P-8A, and F/A-18E): Replacing aging 

aircraft and upgrading current platforms are critical for the Navy Reserve to continue 

operational support as a highly-valued part of the Navy total force.

2. Expeditionary equipment procurement (Coastal Riverine Force (CRF), Naval 

Construction Force (NCF), and Navy Expeditionary Logistics Support Group 

[NAVELSG]): Achieving equipment compatibility with the AC is one of the Navy 

Reserve’s top priorities. Procurement and upgrade programs, as well as Congressional 

funding additions, have improved RC equipment capability and compatibility. For the 

NCF, NAVELSG, and especially CRF units, the ability to fully fund equipment 

requirements remains a challenge. The most critical needs for Navy Reserve CRF 

continue to be acquisition of MK VI Patrol Boats and Riverine Command Boats for its 

squadrons.

E. The Air National Guard (ANG) 

Presently, the ANG provides almost half of the Air Force’s tactical airlift support, combat 

communications functions, aeromedical evacuations, and aerial refueling. The ANG’s aging 

aircraft fleet faces significant sustainment and support costs. Modernizing, maintaining, and 

sustaining capabilities are among the current and future challenges the ANG faces. 

The ANG’s top equipping challenges are: 

1. Adequate funding for weapon system modernization efforts: With the need to fully 

fund ongoing operations and continued pressure on defense budgets, obtaining adequate 

funding for both procuring new equipment and modernizing existing equipment 

continues to be a challenge. In its “Air National Guard 2013 Weapons Systems 

Modernization Priorities” book, ANG has identified $8.26B of capability shortfall needs 

for modernization and recapitalization of the ANG aircraft fleet and associated 

equipment.

2. Sustaining legacy weapon systems: The ANG operates and maintains the oldest aircraft 

in the Air Force. Overall, the average age of aircraft within the ANG is 25 years. The 

ANG’s Weapon Systems Sustainment Working Group has identified maintenance needs 

that include procurement of new advanced support equipment to replace the obsolete 

equipment built with 1970s and 1980s technology, modern leak detection equipment, 
1-8 

satellite communications radio support capability, and new C-130 Isochronal Inspection 

Stands meeting Air Force safety standards.

3. Adequate funding for dual-use capabilities to support DSCA and state missions:

ANG is concerned with its ability to satisfy requests to support DSCA and state missions 

with its dual-use equipment. Changes to unit missions, coupled with organizational changes 

to classic associations, have created a decrease in authorizations for ANG equipment, which 

decreases the ability to respond to requests to perform DSCA and state missions. 

F. The Air Force Reserve (AFR) 

The Air Force Reserve is fully engaged across the full spectrum of operations, providing the 

strategic capacity to respond to national crises and the day-to-day operational capability to 

maintain ongoing missions. In 2003, the AFR surged, with 23 percent of its force activated in 

response to 9/11 and support for Operation Iraqi Freedom, and again in 2010, with 12 percent of 

its Airmen activated to support Operation Enduring Freedom. 

The AFR’s top equipping challenges are: 

1. Defensive systems: Aircraft upgrades are in the process now to fully integrate all 

defensive systems. The AFR’s top priority unfunded shortfall is additional C-130 Large 

Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) to provide increased protection against 

advanced and emerging infrared missile threats. 

2. Data link and secure communications: The AFR’s list of modernization shortfalls 

stresses aircraft defense, safety, and data link communications. The AFR will continue to 

equip C-130s in FY 2014 with the Real Time Information in the Cockpit (RTIC) data link 

system. These are upgrades with ARC-210 and Situational Awareness Data Link (SADL) 

radios to provide crews with advanced secure line-of-sight (SLOS) and beyond line-ofsight (BLOS) communications situational awareness and the ability to be dynamically 

mission re-tasked.

G. The United States Coast Guard Reserve (USCGR) 

The Coast Guard also performs global missions in support of DoD combatant command operational 

plans. The Coast Guard’s primary expeditionary resources are the eight Coast Guard Port Security 

Units (PSUs) that operate under the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command and are often embedded 

within the Navy’s Coastal Riverine Force. These Coast Guard PSUs are unique because they are 

principally Reserve-staffed units, consisting of only six AC personnel within a 150 total complement. 

The Coast Guard Reserve’s top equipping concern is the recapitalization and sustainment of Port 

Security Unit (PSU) weapons and communications: 

1. PSU weapon standardization – alignment with DoD and NATO: Reserve program 

staff and capability managers are working towards a major weapons transition for PSUs. 

PSUs are currently issued the M16A2 rifle, which is no longer used or supported by DoD 

and provides severe logistical challenges while deployed in support of joint DoD and host 

nation operations. Similarly, PSUs must transition to the 9mm pistol to meet North 
1-9 

Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) weapons requirements and align with DoD 

components while deployed overseas.

2. PSU communications equipment – compatibility with DoD forces: Modernization and 

upgrades to communications equipment will ensure interoperability with DoD. Secure 

and non-secure data in the field is a required capability in modern military operations, 

and PSUs require the organic capability to transmit, receive, and process both 

unclassified and classified data.

Chapter 2

United States Army Reserve Components 

I. Army Overview 

A. Army Planning Guidance 

As the Nation’s senior Military Service, the United States Army has always been indispensable 

to the security of the United States. The Army is the only Military Service that is charged with 

and capable of conducting prompt and sustained combat operations on land. The deployment of 

U.S. Soldiers is an unambiguous symbol of national resolve and commitment. As the Army 

emerges from over a decade of war, it is aggressively adjusting to meet future security threats to 

the Nation. 

Prevent, Shape, and Win frames the Army’s role as part of the Joint Force. The Army prevents

conflict and destabilizing activities through its credibility as a modern, combat-ready, globallydeployable force. The Army also shapes security conditions favorable to U.S. and allied 

interests. If prevention fails and shaping is insufficient, the Army remains ready to decisively 

defeat the enemy and win a campaign as part of the joint force. 

The Army operates in the human domain. Soldiers seize, retain, and exploit the initiative to gain 

and maintain a position of relative advantage through simultaneous offensive, defensive, and 

stability operations. The two core competencies of Army forces are combined arms maneuver

and wide area security. 

Over the next several years, the Army will move to become a regionally-aligned force, with units 

assigned and allocated to combatant commands. Once complete, Soldiers will be even more 

responsive to theater security cooperation and contingency response requirements, deploying 

from the squad to joint task force level. 

The year 2013 marks the 40th anniversary of the Total Force Policy. The Army will continue to 

seamlessly integrate the Active, Guard, Reserve, and Civilian components. Over the past decade, 

the Army National Guard (ARNG) and United States Army Reserve (USAR) transformed from a 

strategic reserve to an operational reserve. The Army remains committed to ensuring the Total 

Force is manned, trained, organized, sustained, equipped, and employed to support combatant 

command requirements. 

(Adapted from Army Strategic Planning Guidance 2013 and Army Doctrine Publication 3-0, 

Unified Land Operations). 

B. Army Equipping Policy 

The Army Equipping Guidance describes the strategic environment through 2016 and how it 

relates to equipping the force. The guidance explains how it is synchronized and nested with the 

Army Equipment Modernization Strategy and the Army Equipment Modernization Plan to 

achieve an Army that is versatile, tailorable, and affordable. It also tells how the Army will equip 

during the transition from the current Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN) model to the future 

force generation model, including the policy and goals for equipping the operational force, the 
2-2 

generating force, and the Reserve Components. It describes how the Army can redistribute 

equipment to achieve Equipment On-hand (EOH) equilibrium across the force and the means to 

get the most from every budget dollar. The underlying foundation of the guidance is to identify 

and minimize equipping risks and costs as the Army transitions from Afghanistan, through 

sequestration, toward regionally-aligned and mission-tailored forces. 

The scope of the guidance includes the Total Army: the Active Component (AC) and the 

Reserve Components (RCs). It is a dynamic and flexible document that identifies the equipping 

challenges the Army faces and provides ideas and solutions for meeting those challenges. The 

guidance encompasses three lines of effort: equipping units for their missions, increasing 

readiness by redistributing equipment, and saving money.

1. Equipping Units for Their Missions 

Equipping units for their missions is the main effort. Since 2006, the Army has used the 

ARFORGEN model (structured progression of readiness over time) to produce trained, ready, 

and cohesive units. It was, and for the immediate future will remain, the primary method for 

equipping rotational AC and RC units for deployment and contingency missions. The Army is 

developing a future force generation model that, in accordance with the Army Strategic Planning 

Guidance 2013, will sustain the Army’s ability to provide a manned, trained, and equipped Total 

Force to meet the full range of current and emerging combatant commander requirements. It will 

enable the Army to better tailor a versatile mix of AC and RC capabilities and deploy them 

rapidly for unified land operations of various durations. 

The guidance provides units increasing levels of equipment at critical equipping points based on 

their ARFORGEN phase or future force generation pool. It focuses on placing equipment into 

the hands of units. It also equips non-rotational units, such as the generating forces that train 

Soldiers, and it ensures that the RCs have equipment to support homeland defense (HD) and 

Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) responsibilities. 

In accordance with Department of Defense Directive (DoDD) 1200.17, Managing the Reserve 

Components as an Operational Force, this line of effort equips the RCs with the operational 

capabilities and strategic depth required of an operational force. It ensures they will be 

“consistently and predictably equipped” and that the “priority for the distribution of new and 

combat serviceable equipment, with associated support and test equipment, shall be given to 

units scheduled for mission deployment or employment first, regardless of component.” 

2. Increasing Readiness by Redistributing Equipment 

This supporting effort’s focus is to move equipment we already own or will procure in the nearterm to increase overall unit readiness. While the Army has just less than 90 percent of its 

Modified Table of Organization and Equipment (MTOE) equipment on-hand, at the individual 

unit level they either have too much or not enough. As the Army draws down in Afghanistan, it 

has to transition away from a theater-provided equipment model to a pre-positioned and training 

activity set. 
2-3 

Shortages must be filled at the lowest level, within units and installations when possible. Theater 

excess equipment can be given to redeploying units that serve as conduits for getting the 

equipment from theater to installations where it is needed. 

The guidance also ensures continuing equipment paybacks to the RCs in accordance with 

Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 1225.06, Equipping the Reserve Forces. To date, the 

Army has reconciled approximately 78,200 pieces of equipment of the 85,000 transferred out of 

the RCs since 2003. 

3. Saving Money 

Our processes and policies must take into account the significant reduction in funding under 

which we must operate. Every dollar not spent wisely directly diminishes the opportunity to 

reduce risk elsewhere. Sequestration, higher than expected war costs in Afghanistan, and 

potential reductions in 2014 and beyond will reduce both the Operation and Maintenance and 

Procurement funding needed to keep our formations ready for their assigned missions. 

The Army will focus on preserving as much of the budget as possible for force modernization 

and to achieve and sustain future capabilities. This means it must reduce second destination 

transportation costs, divest expensive older systems and identify which niche capabilities to 

preserve and which can be divested, and reduce excess, whose costs can dramatically impact 

readiness. We must get equipment distribution and redistribution right and at the lowest levels. 

Fixing shortages through internal redistribution is a priority. In all cases, decisions must be based 

on accurate knowledge of EOH. 

Transparency is key. Accountability of equipment must be established and maintained through 

accurately and rapidly documenting inventories to enable 100 percent visibility. The challenge is 

to be able to trace procurement-funded equipment from the President’s Budget request to 

delivery at the unit level. During Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi 

Freedom/New Dawn, the Army lost the ability to track equipment deliveries to the RCs. 

Equipment could not be traced to a particular sourcing document. The Army has made 

significant headway in achieving transparency through a collaborative automated collection tool. 

The Army currently tracks 129 programs from FY 2009 to FY 2013 Reserve Component 

equipment procurements, provides RC funding and procurement data for annual budget exhibits, 

and submits semiannual equipment transparency reports to the Office of the Assistant Secretary 

of Defense, Reserve Affairs (OASD/RA). 

C. Plan to Fill Mobilization Shortages in the RC 

After more than 10 years of war, the Army finds itself in reasonably good condition, equipmentwise. As stated above, it has almost 90 percent of its MTOE authorizations. In 2013, the AC had 

approximately 91 percent of authorized equipment on-hand, the ARNG had approximately 

91 percent, and the Army Reserve had approximately 86 percent. These percentages should 

improve as equipment is returned from theater, reset/repaired, and redistributed to units. 

In conjunction with ARFORGEN and the future force generation model, and in compliance with 

DoDD 1200.17 and DoDI 1225.06, the Army continues to comparably equip the AC and RCs to 

meet mission requirements. The Army equips all forces based on their priority within the 
2-4 

Dynamic Army Resourcing Priorities List (DARPL). In addition, it ensures the RCs always have 

at least 80 percent of their Critical Dual Use (CDU) items. These are MTOE-authorized items 

determined critical to the support of HD and DCSA missions. This allows units to meet their HD 

and DCSA requirements when not deployed. 

When ARNG units deploy, they take their MTOE equipment with them. This can create a 

shortage of CDU equipment within the state. To compensate, states have enacted emergency 

management assistance compacts (EMACs) with each other. In EMACs, states agree to support 

each other in the event of a natural or manmade catastrophe. 

The Army ensures all units are equipped to accomplish their missions. When there are shortages, 

the Army implements innovative methods to ensure commanders have the right amount and 

types of equipment for training and use when deployed. A common method leverages Predeployment Training Equipment (PDTE) sets and Theater Provided Equipment (TPE). 

The PDTE sets are maintained by the AC and pre-positioned at key Mobilization Force 

Generation Installations (MFGIs) in support of individual and collective training requirements 

prior to any AC or RC unit deployment. The PDTE sets consist of mostly theater-specific and 

very low density items that are otherwise not available to units. These sets remain at the MFGIs 

when the units deploy to ensure availability for the next training rotation and to reduce 

transportation cost. 

When the units arrive in theater, they are issued TPE unique items. Maintaining TPE in theater 

minimizes the cost and friction of deploying the equipment back and forth with returning and 

deploying units and ensures that theater-required equipment is where it needs to be. 

D. Initiatives Affecting RC Equipment 

1. Current Operations 

The Army’s operational tempo in support of overseas contingency operations (OCO) has 

lessened, but it still places a strain on the force, particularly with the ARNG and USAR. As the 

operating tempo slows, the Army moves to a Boots-on-the-Ground:Dwell ratio of 1:2 for the AC 

and a Mobilization:Demobilization ratio of 1:4 for the ARNG and USAR. The strain on 

personnel will be reduced. Counterintuitively, however, the strain and wear on equipping will 

increase, due to increased need and use of equipment caused by longer Train/Ready phases. 

The Nation’s uncertain fiscal situation, combined with anticipated future reduction in wartime 

demand, is prompting calls for decreased defense spending. DoD leadership has heeded these 

calls, directing the departments to make hard choices and reduce spending. The next 10 years 

will be a dynamic environment of changing operational demands coupled with reduced defense 

spending. The Army’s goal is to have an affordable and versatile mix of tailorable and networked 

units operating on a rotational cycle and capable of full spectrum operations. 

Regardless of the Mobilization:Demobilization ratios, the Army is committed to ensuring that 

ARNG and USAR units are equipped to execute their HD and DSCA missions as well as their 

other operational requirements. To this end, Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA), 

ARNG, and USAR define, validate, and update the CDU equipment list annually, identifying 

those MTOE items necessary for the accomplishment of the ARNG and USAR Federal missions 
2-5 

and, in the case of the ARNG, state missions. The minimum acceptable level of CDU equipping 

is 80 percent on-hand. This provides a sufficient pool of equipment that, within the constraints of 

overall Army equipping levels, meets the goal of ensuring that the ARNG and USAR always 

have the equipment necessary to meet domestic operational requirements. 

The Army identifies the CDU equipment necessary for Army units and personnel to assist civil 

authorities in responses to natural disasters, acts of terrorism, and other manmade disasters as 

identified in national planning scenarios and gives recommendation to HQDA on what 

equipment should be in the Army CDU equipment list. 

The following five topics describe the Army efforts to bring the ARNG and USAR capabilities 

in line with future demands: Operationalizing the Reserves, Transparency, Homeland Defense 

and Defense Support of Civil Authorities, Reset Phase, and What We Bring to the Fight. 

2. Operationalizing the Reserves 

Today’s Army was built as a Total Force (AC, ARNG, and USAR), and demands for U.S. 

ground forces have required almost continuous operational use of the ARNG and USAR to meet 

requirements. As part of our overall efforts to build the Army of the 21st century, it is important 

that we take a critical look at how the Army plans to use the ARNG and USAR in the future and 

what policies governing this use will require modification to achieve more efficient mobilization 

and effective employment of ARNG and USAR forces. The Army has made significant progress 

in transforming the ARNG and USAR from strategic reserves into operational forces that are 

fully integrated into the ARFORGEN model. In parallel with a Secretary of Defense-directed 

review, the Secretary and Chief of Staff of the Army commissioned an independent panel to 

review the policies and assumptions governing use of the ARNG and USAR to ensure that we 

can deliver a sustained flow of trained and ready land forces to meet the challenges of the 21st 

century. The panel reported that operationalizing was the correct approach, and that the Total 

Force concept needs to be institutionalized to increase the talent pool available for operations. It 

reported that “while there are issues to address with an operational reserve, the benefits far 

outweigh the challenges and represent the best path forward.” 

3. Transparency 

In 2008, the Secretary of Defense directed the Military Services to provide increased 

transparency of equipping the RC. Specifically, the Military Services were charged with 

providing increased visibility and accountability of National Guard and Reserve equipment in the 

formulation of the annual budget, and for tracking ARNG and USAR equipment through the 

acquisition process from procurement to delivery. 

To implement these directives, two important steps were taken by all Military Services. First, 

component-level funding and procurement quantities were included on key Congressional budget 

exhibits, such as the Budget Item Justification Sheet (the “P-40” form) and the Production 

Schedule (the “P-21” form). Providing this data gives both Congress and the RCs greater 

confidence that the equipment requirements developed in the budget formulation are both 

accounted for and clearly visible in the President’s Budget submission. Consistent with DoD’s 

intent, it also provided stakeholders with component-level funding data that could be linked to 

the acquisition process. 
2-6 

The second step taken was to track the delivery of funded equipment. The format for this 

tracking effort was standardized for all of the Military Services and is called the Equipment 

Transparency Report (ETR). In close coordination with the ARNG and USAR, HQDA prepares 

the ETR semiannually and then provides the report to OASD/RA. Collecting the data is largely a 

manual process for the Army because the databases currently in use were not designed to link a 

piece of equipment delivered to a unit with the funding that resourced the procurement. As an 

example, a new truck may be funded by the FY 2012 appropriation and, ultimately, delivered to 

an ARNG unit, but there is no automated linkage between the truck and the FY 2012 

appropriation used to fund the procurement. 

The task of providing increased transparency has given the Army an opportunity to closely 

examine many of its systems and processes. Several working groups have been focused on 

improving programming, finance, contracting, and logistics automation systems. Although 

implementing permanent solutions will take time, immediate steps have been taken to increase 

transparency. A secure, online collaborative tool is now in use that provides HQDA, as well as 

the ARNG and USAR, the ability to see and manipulate programming and budgeting data realtime as budget exhibits are created. The same collaborative system also allows Army 

programmers, budget analysts, and acquisition specialists to build the ETR online while 

maintaining full visibility for the ARNG and USAR. 

Oversight of the transparency effort is maintained by a multi-component General Officer 

Steering Committee (GOSC) that meets quarterly and reviews programming, budgeting, 

procurement, and delivery data. Supporting the GOSC are Integrated Product Teams (IPTs) that 

ensure budget and procurement documentation are accurate and consistent. The IPTs also 

supervise the on-line data collection effort and prepare the ETR for GOSC review and approval. 

IPT leadership maintains close working relationships with both OASD/RA and other DoD staff 

agencies. 

The Army fully supports DoD’s efforts to increase transparency for the RC and is in full 

compliance with all directives. The Army also continues its efforts to automate the data 

collection process and has made significant progress in that area. Along with supporting DoD’s 

transparency efforts, the AC, ARNG, and USAR are also keeping Congress apprised of progress 

in this area and have provided numerous updates to both Senate and House professional staff 

members since the transparency effort began in 2008. 

4. Homeland Defense and Defense Support of Civil Authorities 

The Army is playing an increasing role in HD and DSCA missions. In accordance with direction 

from the Secretary of Defense, the Army will provide the bulk of the Defense Chemical, 

Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Response Force for FY 2014 and beyond. The Army 

provides specific capabilities for DSCA in the event of an attack against the United States, or in 

the event of a manmade or natural disaster. These capabilities come from all Army components 

in support of United States Northern Command’s (USNORTHCOM’s) DSCA mission in the 

event of a disaster. 

The equipment used by the ARNG and USAR to conduct DSCA missions and, in the case of the 

ARNG state missions are dual-use equipment that comes primarily through Army base budget 
2-7 

procurement and commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) equipment procurement by the ARNG and 

USAR. It also includes equipment that has been cascaded from the AC to the ARNG and USAR. 

Like AC units, as ARNG and USAR units progress through the reset and Train/Ready phases, 

they will be equipped at less than 100 percent. This represents risk in the ability to respond to 

HD and DSCA missions. Placing emphasis on procurement and management of CDU items will 

help ensure that the necessary equipment is available for mission execution. 

5. Reset 

Reset refers to the Army’s imperative to restore balance to re-deployed units in the areas of 

family, Soldiers, equipment, training, and facilities as units return from operational deployments. 

The AC and RCs conduct the reset process for 180-days and 365-days, respectively, within the 

Army’s current ARFORGEN model. Units complete reset better prepared and equipped to 

engage in training for future operations. 

Equipment reset is a task within the larger scope of the reset phase. When battle-stressed 

equipment returns from an overseas contingency operational deployment, it is repaired and 

refurbished at either the unit-level (field-level) or depot-level (sustainment-level) maintenance 

facilities. In the case of equipment classified as a non-recoverable battle loss, equipment is 

replaced via new procurement activities. The Army prioritizes equipment reset activities to ensure 

that units slated as next to deploy are equipped to meet their operational readiness requirements. 

The Army’s operational readiness requirements ultimately drive equipment reset priorities. 

As with the Active Component, RC equipment reset priorities are currently evolving as the Army 

simultaneously conducts a withdrawal of forces from Operation Enduring Freedom, restructures 

the force, and modifies the ARFORGEN model. Within the RC, ARNG units continue to support 

HD and DSCA missions, and the USAR is adapting to its newly specified role as an operating 

force and expanded Title 10 responsibilities to support DSCA and HD missions. With 

consideration given to the fiscally-constrained operating environment, the Army will continue to 

balance its equipment reset priorities concerning CDU items within MTOE units. 

6. What We Bring to the Fight 

The ARNG and USAR are full partners with the AC in national defense, meeting the challenges 

not only of today, but of the future. To meet the future requirements, the Army has significantly 

accelerated the tempo of transformation and continues to adapt the resourcing processes to 

become more flexible, dynamic, transparent, and responsive. 

The ARNG and USAR have undergone tremendous change in the past eleven years. They have 

been transformed from strategic reserves to an operational force. They have seen equipping change 

from a Cold-War paradigm of tiered-readiness, where the RCs were often equipped with obsolete 

equipment and had significant shortages, to the ARFORGEN structured progression of readiness 

over time, to produce fully modernized and equipped, trained, ready, and cohesive units. The 

ARNG and USAR play an essential role in the National Defense Strategy. The ARNG and the 

USAR served alongside AC units in Iraq and they continue to serve along with AC units in 

Afghanistan. They serve in the Sinai and in the Balkans. The ARNG and USAR provide combat 
2-8 

units, combat service support forces, special operations Soldiers, and unique capabilities critical to 

the Army’s success. 

E. Plan to Achieve Full Compatibility between AC and RC 

The ARNG and USAR are operational components and they can continue to expect to serve 

together with AC units in any theater. The Army equips all ARFORGEN units with the most 

modern and most capable equipment available, based on the units’ mission. Because of this, the 

ARNG and USAR units receive the same equipment as their AC counterparts when assigned 

similar missions. 

The Army is also committed to fulfilling its DoDI 1225.06 requirements to replace ARNG and 

USAR equipment transferred to the AC. At the time of this publication, the Army had reduced 

the number of items it owes the ARNG and USAR from over 85,000 to approximately 6,800 

pieces of equipment. To ensure transparency, any new requirements must be accompanied with a 

memorandum of agreement signed by both the AC and ARNG or USAR and approved by the 

Secretary of Defense. Repayments are tracked item by item. Supplementary instructions 

providing Army procedures for implementing the changes are described in DoDI 1225.06. 
2-9 

II. Army National Guard Overview 

A. Current Status of the Army National Guard 

1. General Overview 

The Army National Guard (ARNG) supported 

overseas contingency operations (OCO) and 

domestic missions in FY 2013. ARNG state 

support included flood and hurricane response, 

winter storm and wildfire response, and search 

and rescue. Additionally, the ARNG provided 

support to the Department of Homeland Security, 

the Presidential Inauguration, and Customs and 

Border Patrol along the U.S. Southwest border.

ARNG support to OCO included 13,602 Soldiers 

for Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, 

5,584 Soldiers in Southwest Asia, 290 Soldiers in 

Kosovo, 499 Soldiers in Cuba (Guantánamo 

Bay), 611 Soldiers in Djibouti (Horn of Africa), 

and 546 Soldiers in Egypt. 

Congress’s continued support of Army 

procurement and the Army’s continued utilization 

of the ARNG as an operational force have 

resulted in significant improvements to the ARNG equipment posture and increased equipment 

on-hand (EOH), Critical Dual Use (CDU) equipment, and the overall modernization levels. 

ARNG EOH was at 77 percent just four years ago. Today, the ARNG is at 91 percent. Overall, 

the current CDU EOH is 92 percent, an increase from 65 percent at the time of the Hurricane 

Katrina response in 2005. Additionally, efforts by Congress to modernize the total Army has 

resulted in dramatic increases to modernized EOH in the ARNG. Tactical Wheeled Vehicles 

(TWVs) and armored vehicles in particular have seen the most striking increases, with 

48.2 percent of the TWV fleet and 47.1 percent of the armored vehicle fleet considered modern 

in 2001 compared to 82 percent and 99.8 percent modern (respectively) in 2013. In June 2013, 

adjustments made to the modernization “cut” levels of several equipment items resulted in the 

ARNG’s overall EOH modernization percentage increasing from 70 to 85 percent in the current 

report. 

By capitalizing on past investments, the ARNG is one of the best options available for our 

Nation to preserve military capability, capacity, and depth concurrently, while helping to 

decrease overall defense expenditures. The fiscal realities that we face afford the Congress and 

Department of Defense an opportunity to review what the ARNG has contributed over the past 

decade, but more importantly, where the ARNG will be ten years from now. Resources remain 

the principal reason the ARNG is an operational force, and will determine whether it stays that 

way. The ARNG has been able to achieve individual and unit proficiency with advance training 

in live and constructive exercises at the Army’s premier training centers. In addition, designated 

resources have elevated the ARNG to a higher level of modernized equipment on-hand than at 

any time in its history. 

Top ARNG Focus Areas 

 Modernize the ARNG helicopter fleet 

 Modernize the ARNG tactical wheeled 

vehicle fleet 

 Procure engineer equipment to fill 

shortfalls in modernization equipment 

 Maintain the ARNG to no less than 

80 percent of Critical Dual Use 

equipment on-hand 

 Improve the ARNG command and 

control capability by focusing on fielding 

Army mission command systems to 

ARNG brigade combat teams 

 Build essential field-level maintenance 

facilities to effectively repair, service, 

and maintain ARNG equipment 
2-10 

a. Status of the ARNG as an Operational Force 

The past decade of conflict has forged the ARNG into an operational force capable of rapid and 

effective employment at home or abroad. The ARNG of 2013 is the best-manned, best-trained, 

best-equipped, best-led, and most experienced force in its long history. This is a direct result of 

the resourcing and legal authorities that Congress has dedicated to this purpose over the past 

decade-plus of conflict. The ARNG has used those resources wisely, and is an operational force 

that provides capabilities and strategic depth to meet national defense requirements and state 

needs. The ARNG complements the Active Component, ensuring the Total Force remains 

capable of providing trained and ready forces in support of the Nation’s security strategy. As an 

operational force, the ARNG is resourced, trained, ready, and utilized on a continual basis, 

conducting the full spectrum of military operations in all environments as part of the Total Force. 

The ARNG today provides the Army strategic depth and an operational reserve with specialized 

expertise and civilian skills. More important, it provides experienced forces to satisfy the 

Nation’s needs across the full range of military operations. The ARNG is currently structured for 

success. Preserving these options will require the combined efforts of the ARNG, the Army, and 

the Department of Defense to address the challenges of institutionalizing Total Force Policy and 

to determine the appropriate strategies and policies to ensure long-term viability of the 

operational ARNG. 

The investment to maintain an operational force when compared to the strategic reserve the 

Nation had prior to 9/11 is quite modest. However, that investment has more than paid for itself 

in added responsiveness, flexibility, and readiness resident in a Reserve Component (RC) where 

84 percent of the personnel serve in a traditional part-time status. The remaining personnel are 

either Active Guard and Reserve (AGR) or Technicians. The training and equipment used to 

ready the ARNG for overseas service paid dividends here in the United States. Preparation and 

training for war has made the ARNG extremely effective in responding to domestic emergencies. 

As an operational force, the ARNG will continue to be poised to support OCO, DoD and state 

missions in the United States, and the State Partnership Program in numerous countries around 

the world. 

b. Operational ARNG—Defense Support of Civil Authorities and State Missions 

In 2013, the ARNG performed state missions in response to significant wildfires in Colorado, 

Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, Minnesota, Idaho, New Mexico, South Dakota, and Tennessee that 

resulted from below-normal rainfall. During FY 2013 (as of June 2013), the ARNG performed state 

missions in response to more than 179 disasters, including Hurricane Sandy. Table 2-1 below 

provides further detail.

i. Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) Enterprise 

The ARNG comprises 66 percent of the entire DoD CBRN Response Enterprise (CRE) 

(approximately 12,402 ARNG Soldiers and 1,558 Airmen). Based on the recommendation of the 

2010 Quadrennial Defense Review, DoD stood up ten National Guard Homeland Response 

Forces (HRFs). HRFs are joint task forces composed of both ARNG and Air National Guard 

(ANG) personnel. Each HRF consists of a mission command element, CBRN Task Forces, and 

Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and High-yield Explosive [CBRNE] Assistance 

Support Elements, totaling 577 Soldiers. The HRFs are regionally aligned by Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA) Region with one in each region to provide a fast, nationallycoordinated CBRN response capability. Two HRFs were operational at the end of FY 2011 and 

the remaining eight conducted validation in FY 2012. HRFs provide life-saving capability within 

a 6–12 hour response time and mission command for other CRE elements in their area of 

operations. The HRF is designed to provide mission command for three National Guard CBRNE 

Enhanced Response Force Packages (CERFPs). The CERFP is the primary life-saving capability 

of the National Guard elements of the CBRN Response Enterprise. Each HRF has an embedded 

CERFP capability called a CBRN Task Force. Currently, there are 57 Civil Support Teams, 17 

CERFPs, and 10 HRFs within the ARNG. 

The ARNG sources the Command and Control CBRN Response Element Bravo (C2CRE-B). 

C2CRE-B consists of 2,029 highly trained Soldiers. When directed by USNORTHCOM, 

C2CRE-B conducts CBRN operations to provide lifesaving, command and control (C2), and 

logistics capabilities for follow-on forces within the USNORTHCOM area of responsibility to 

execute DSCA missions in response to CBRN incidents to save lives and minimize human 

suffering. 

ii. ARNG Division Headquarters, Domestic All-Hazards Response Team (DART), 

Coordination Cell (DCC) 

The USNORTHCOM Concept Plan requires the establishment of DCCs. ARNG Division 

Headquarters facilitates the states’ ARNG domestic all-hazards response, beginning at the lowest 

state echelon. This requires identifying the “Essential 10” capabilities and aligning them with the 

existing state all-hazards plan to fill capability-based gap requirements. The Divisions provide 
2-12 

unity of command and effort that can support a state with individual and staff augmentation up to 

the full breadth of an Army Division and a two-star general Dual Status Commander. 

The DART mission is split up into DART East and DART West regions of the United States. 

Each region has a primary and reinforcing DART DCC with 20 Full Time Manning (FTM) for 

the primary and 10 FTMs for the reinforcing, which are housed within the Division 

Headquarters. The DCC consists of an officer-in-charge and a team of planners and operations 

personnel to mirror that of a Division G5 section. The DART Coordination Cells are vital to the 

DART concept by providing the adjutants general with joint operational flexibility for 

augmenting their existing forces with modular, scalable, and affordable force packaging 

capabilities. The DCCs utilize the DoD reporting systems as operational planning tools to 

generate state National Guard force packages to aid in mitigating identified state capability gaps 

during crisis action planning. The DCCs have continued to meet expectations within the Chief, 

National Guard Bureau (CNGB) and Director, Army National Guard guidance as they 

demonstrate their value in annual National Level Exercises and pre-planned National Special 

Security Events. Most notably, DCCs facilitated response preparation and coordination between 

affected states and the National Guard Coordination Center during natural disasters to include 

hurricanes Irene, Isaac, and Sandy. 

c. Operational ARNG—Support to Security Cooperation and Building Partner Capacity 

In 2013, the Army National Guard provided approximately 12,278 Soldiers to support 63 

military exercises in 73 countries. The ARNG’s unique dual mission capability combined with 

Soldiers that possess a range of valuable professional skills and expertise acquired as civilians 

promotes a well-rounded Soldier with a larger set of skills to solve complex problems. The 

National Guard Bureau’s State Partnership Program (SPP) includes 65 partnerships with a total 

of 71 partner countries. Twenty-seven SPP partner countries have deployed alongside Guard 

Soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. This program is a vital element of the Army’s security 

cooperation strategy as it promotes security cooperation activities for military-to-military 

training, disaster response, border and port security, medical, and peace enforcement operations. 

2. Status of Equipment 

The ARNG continues to manage available resources effectively to support both DoD and state 

missions. Total EOH is currently 91 percent, with 84 percent of Modified Table of 

Organizational Equipment (MTOE) equipment available to the governors due to mobilizations 

and deployments. This EOH percentage does not include Table of Distribution and Allowances 

(TDA) requirements that are critical to military occupational specialty producing schools, Civil 

Support Teams (CSTs), pre-mobilization training, states’ Joint Force Headquarters, and other 

ARNG missions. Additionally, some TDA equipment is critical in performing HD and DSCA 

missions. TDA EOH percentage is currently 64 percent. 

Beginning in FY 2006, the Army significantly increased its investment in ARNG equipment to 

meet overseas contingency requirements, convert to a modular force, and fulfill its CDU 

equipment commitment. As a result, ARNG EOH (MTOE only) increased from 69 percent to 

91 percent in FY 2013. The ARNG CDU EOH, a subset of MTOE equipment, increased from 

65 percent to 92 percent during this same period. This continued improvement in ARNG EOH is 

essential to ensuring the ARNG is capable of fulfilling its missions. As in the past, ARNG EOH 
2-13 

percentages will continue to be affected by changing MTOEs and the modernization of 

equipment; however, the net result will be a more ready and modern reserve force prepared for 

utilization as an operational force. 

a. Equipment On-hand 

The ARNG aligned itself to continue supporting the Army’s full-spectrum Army Force 

Generation (ARFORGEN) based Equipping Strategy by focusing on modernization, improving 

equipment interoperability, and emphasizing CDU equipment. As a result of these focused 

efforts and Congress’s continued support of Army procurement, the ARNG is more capable than 

ever to support the Army and our Nation in OCO, HD, DSCA missions. Over the past year, the 

ARNG has received over 74,000 new items of equipment. 

i. Table of Distribution and Allowances Unit Equipment 

ARNG TDA units contribute to domestic response missions. Such units include state Joint Force 

Headquarters, which consist of the adjutant generals and their staffs who provide command and 

control support for state missions. CSTs are also TDA units, and there are currently 57 CSTs 

throughout the United States. CSTs are required to deploy to provide assistance to local firstresponders in determining the nature of an attack and to provide expert response advice. 

Although TDA units generally do not deploy, there are exceptions. TDA units require equipment 

to train other units, which contributes to the readiness and availability of ARNG units. TDA 

units are usually lower priority and may inherently have older generation equipment and more 

shortages as they compete with deploying units for resources. 

ii. Equipment Cross-leveling 

The cross-leveling of equipment that is not excess presents a challenge to the ARNG and results 

in lower EOH levels of MTOE equipment available to the “donor” unit and possibly the state and 

territory. The ARNG uses the ARFORGEN cycle to lessen the effects of last-minute 

requirements placed on units to move equipment to other states and territories in support of 

operational needs. However, increased quantities of EOH over the past few years have 

correspondingly decreased the need to cross-level equipment to mobilizing units to meet 

deployment requirements. This is supported by the reduction in the number of equipment items 

cross-leveled for mobilization from 2,917 in 2012 to 387 in 2013. 

iii. DoD Instruction 1225.06—Equipment Transfers to Contingency Operations 

The ARNG continues to track the equipment transferred over the past decade from units redeploying out of theater to units deploying to theater to support various urgent war fighter needs. 

As HQDA staff identifies equipment requirements, ARNG will continue to coordinate with 

HQDA staff to best meet the needs of the combatant commanders and the Army. DoDI 1225.06, 

Equipping the Reserve Forces (signed May 16, 2012), provides greater transparency and 

traceability controls over RC equipment transfers. This includes transfers from one component to 

another, transfers within a component, as well as equipment inducted into maintenance facilities. 

Additionally, the instruction provides enhanced reporting requirements to provide enhanced 

transparency and accountability of ARNG equipment. The Army has also published additional 

supplementary instructions that clearly outline and define the Army internal processes and 

procedures that will be used to transfer ARNG and Army Reserve (AR) equipment in accordance 
2-14 

with DoDI 1225.06. The ARNG continues to monitor replacement requirements established 

since 2003 and approved by the Secretary of Defense. Through regularly scheduled Integrated 

Product Team meetings, consisting of members from HQDA, Army Materiel Command, ARNG, 

and Army Reserve, all theater equipment transfers and replacement plans are properly annotated 

and tracked. The ARNG continues to work closely with HQDA to ensure equipment is returned 

and future transfers are properly executed. 

b. Average Age of Major Items of Equipment 

The average age of ARNG equipment at the beginning of FY 2014 is provided in Table 2. An 

increase in manufacture and recapitalization programs through FY 2013 alleviated the historical 

issue associated with aging equipment. In the past, the ARNG received much of its equipment 

through the cascading actions of the AC, and the equipment transferred was often already at or 

near the end of its planned service life. Programmed replacements and rebuilding efforts for the 

ARNG equipment could not keep up with the needs of the ARNG. If the current levels of both 

new procurement and recapitalization efforts continue, the average age of equipment should be 

substantially reduced in the future as more new and modernized equipment is moved into the 

ARNG inventory. 

c. Maintenance Issues 

i. Field-Level Maintenance 

Many ARNG shop facilities are more than 50 years old and are neither designed nor equipped to

provide a safe, environmentally-friendly workplace, capable of meeting the demands of the 

Army’s two-level maintenance doctrine to support and maintain a modern and complex, uparmored vehicle fleet. The Military Construction funding required for modernizing ARNG 

surface equipment maintenance facilities is conservatively estimated at $2.24B according to the 

ARNG Installation Division Planning Resource for Infrastructure Development and Evaluation 

database. Field-level maintenance is critical to ARNG equipment readiness in the ARFORGEN 

model and for HD, DSCA, and emergency operation missions. It is essential that the ARNG has 

modern maintenance shop facilities meeting current construction criteria to effectively repair, 

service, and maintain our operational force’s equipment. 

ii. National-Level Maintenance 

Continued funding of the ARNG Surface Depot Maintenance Program is key to maintaining the 

readiness of the ARNG fleet. As an integral part of ARNG’s sustainment activities, the depot 

overhaul and rebuild programs sustain ARNG EOH and extend the service life of its fleet. 

ARNG sustainment activities thereby decrease operational tempo spending. The current ARNG 

Depot Maintenance Program funding level is $233.1M. This is 59.2 percent of the ARNG critical 

requirement of $394M in FY 2014. Planned reductions in the Depot Maintenance program in 

FY 2014 and across the FY 2015–FY 2019 budget will significantly affect the program. 

iii. Home Station Reset 

Under the Home Station Reset program in FY 2013, the ARNG continued to restore equipment 

returning from Kuwait and Afghanistan to Technical Manual 10/20 standards within 365 days of 

the unit’s return to home station. In FY 2013, the ARNG Home Station Field Level Reset 

Program (subset of Home Station Reset) completed the reset of 136,340 pieces of equipment. 
2-15 

iv. Automatic Reset Induction (ARI) 

Units redeploying from theater are required per HQDA to induct 100 percent of identified ARI 

equipment items into Sustainment Maintenance prior to redeployment to the continental United 

States (CONUS). The return of the equipment inducted into ARI is critical for the National 

Guard to keep a high state of readiness and accomplish the National Guard’s state missions. 

d. Overall Equipment Readiness 

Army readiness metrics were updated in 2011 to more accurately reflect the readiness status of 

the ARNG. This was necessary due to the reset of units returning from deployments and units 

transforming under modularity. Due to the large amounts of equipment received in recent years 

and the anticipation of equipment returning from theater operations, the ARNG continues to 

manage readiness by prioritizing limited resources using the ARFORGEN cycle in support of the 

National Military Strategy. Additionally, extensive EOH data analyses and the launching of new, 

long-term equipping management initiatives allow the ARNG to better monitor equipment 

readiness and continually identify opportunities to improve EOH readiness. 

e. Other Equipment Specific Issues 

Congress and the Army have made great strides in equipping the ARNG to the levels needed to 

be successful in its role as an operational force. Unfortunately, full-time surface maintenance 

technician manning levels have not kept up with the increased levels of equipment and operating 

tempo. Funding for FY 2013 has filled only 75 percent of the ARNG’s established surface 

maintenance technician requirements and 70 percent of air maintenance technicians. 

B. Changes since the Last NGRER 

1. Preserving the Operational Army National Guard 

The Army Strategic Planning Guidance states the Army’s determination to advance the 

capabilities gained over the last 11 years and leverage capacity and capabilities of the Total 

Force—Active, Guard, Reserve, and Civilian—ensuring that both the operational and generating 

forces are optimized and aligned to support DoD and Army strategic priorities. To that end, the 

Director, ARNG indicated his determination to maintain the ARNG as an operational force 

through the Army National Guard Strategic Imperatives, September 2012. These essential goals 

will shape the ARNG over the next several years as we enter a period of constrained resources. 

These imperatives will help to ensure the ability to provide ready forces to meet the needs of the 

Nation and our governors. 

A key component of maintaining an operational reserve is forecasting regular use of the force 

through a progressive readiness model, such as ARFORGEN, which prepares Soldiers and units 

for deployment every five years. This gives Soldiers, their families, and civilian employers the 

predictability they need to plan their civilian lives and careers while developing critical military 

skills exercised through tough, realistic training, and operational employment. Additionally, the 

ARNG must continue to field, sustain, and train on modernized equipment. Future procurement 

and sustainment programs must ensure that units are trained, ready, and modernized concurrent 

with the AC. Equipping and modernizing the ARNG on par with the AC will ensure readiness, 

support an operational force, and promote interoperability. 
2-16 

The Total Army adheres to one standard. Whether a unit is in AC, ARNG, or Army Reserve, the 

Army priority for equipping is to units scheduled for mission deployment or employment first, 

regardless of component. If not identified as a next to deploy or employ force, the challenge for 

RC units within a 5-year force generation cycle is sufficiency of resources to fully realize 

progressive readiness. These units are consistently and predictably equipped but less frequently 

than the AC, based upon the lower priority behind critical and essential mission requirements. If 

the Army is to preserve options for the future and provide the capabilities needed for future 

challenges, the operational ARNG must see continuous use in ongoing operations requiring 

rotational support, contingency, or security cooperation, and must be equipped and modernized 

on par with the AC. 

2. Transparency 

The Army continues process improvement to provide transparency as it relates to the 

component-level visibility, traceability, and tracking of equipment funding, production, delivery, 

and fielding. A key component of the Army’s effort will be to establish an automated 

transparency process. The Army expects the development and implementation of Item Unique 

Identification (IUID) coding and system implementation to provide the automated means 

necessary to trace delivery of equipment to the funding year and appropriation from which it was 

resourced. Once fully operational, IUID will be the final piece necessary to enable information 

sharing between various systems in the acquisition process. The IUID system is currently 

scheduled to become fully operational by 2017. 

3. Significant Major Item Shortages 

Table 1 and Table 8 provide equipment inventories, shortfalls, and modernization requirements 

for the ARNG at the end of FY 2017. The item shortages of highest priority are not necessarily 

driven by shortfall costs, but rather our ability as a force to maximize readiness across all of the 

varied missions mentioned above. 

Supporting the ARNG’s dual Federal and domestic roles, UH-60 Blackhawk modernization, 

general engineering equipment, chemical/biological protective shelters (CBPS), semitrailers, and 

high mobility multipurpose vehicle (HMMWV) ambulance shortages are high priorities. 

C. Future Years Program (FY 2015–FY 2017) 

The cumulative effect of sequestration and the current fiscal environment will challenge the 

Army to consistently and predictably provide equipment to the RC. Army procurement funding 

is expected to trend downward across the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP). Currently, the 

ARNG is programmed to receive approximately $5.2B in FY 2015–FY 2017 in future years base 

funding; these figures include $1.56B in FY 2015, $2.0B in FY 2016, and $1.65B in FY 2017. 

These figures are inclusive of the Army equipment procurement appropriation accounts and do 

not include pay and allowances or research and development and are subject to change with the 

FY 2015 President’s Budget submission. 

1. Equipment Requirements 

Table 1 provides projected FY 2015–FY 2017 major equipment inventories and requirements. 
2-17 

2. Anticipated New Equipment Procurements 

a. Base Budget 

Table 3, Service Procurement Program–Reserve (P-1R), provides the list of programmed ARNG 

equipment procurements in fiscal years 2015–2017. 

b. NGREA Procurements 

National Guard and Reserve Equipment Appropriation (NGREA) funding has been used to 

successfully mitigate key ARNG shortfalls in equipment and modernization efforts. FY 2013 

ARNG NGREA funding has allowed the investment of more than $58M in aviation, engineering, 

and logistics systems. In addition, $79M of NGREA funding was used to procure systems that 

enhance HD and DSCA missions. The ARNG also has invested $182M of NGREA funding for 

the procurement of simulators and training systems that support both individual and collective 

training. Although these purchases do not include all of the procurements that were made 

possible by FY 2013 NGREA funding, it does reflect the ARNG’s focal funding areas. 

3. Anticipated Transfers from AC to RC 

Table 5 provides a list of equipment the AC projects to cascade to the ARNG. The AC has 

received a large influx of newly procured equipment, especially for AC units rotating overseas. 

In addition, as forces are reduced, equipment requirements will also be reduced. It is anticipated 

that as force structure changes are implemented, new as well as excess AC equipment will allow 

the AC to transfer a portion of their older equipment to the ARNG to fill shortages and replace 

equipment that has been categorized as obsolete. The Army anticipates that it will cascade 

drawdown equipment to the ARNG through FY 2016. 

4. Funding for New and Displaced Equipment Training 

New Equipment Training (NET)/Displaced Equipment Training (DET) funding is dependent on 

the quantity of new equipment scheduled for fielding to the ARNG. In FY 2013, the ARNG 

received $67.7M in funding for NET/DET events and activities. This amount was sufficient to 

provide pay and allowances for soldiers required to attend NET/DET events and activities. The 

ARNG will be fielding the Global Combat Support System-Army (GCSS-A) in fiscal years 

2015–2017. Any significant decrement to ARNG NET funding levels will significantly increase 

risk in the ARNG’s ability to support required NET and the ability to fund GCSS-A. The ARNG 

must complete fielding of GCSS-A by FY 2017 to meet the 2008 National Defense 

Authorization Act (NDAA) requirement for CNGB to validate delivery of new equipment. 

5. ARNG Equipping Strategy 

The ARNG’s goal is to ensure that Soldiers and units always have the required equipment to 

execute assigned missions whether they are progressing through ARFORGEN force pools, nonrotational units, in the Generating Force, or conducting HD and DSCA missions. The Army 

Guard will continue to equip units in accordance with ARFORGEN Aim Points (APs) based 

upon the resourcing priorities and the DARPL. APs are targeted equipment levels based upon the 

ARFORGEN cycle. The APs reflect Army priorities and enhance the ability of leadership, 

resource managers, and force providers to make accurate and timely decisions to mitigate risk on 
2-18 

manning, equipping, and sourcing of units. Success is measured by the ability of the ARNG to 

meet equipping goals of units based on each unit’s mission and priority. 

The AC, ARNG, and AR attempt to ensure all units are consistently and predictably equipped; 

however, none of the components have enough equipment to fill all requirements all the time. 

Factors, such as slow production rates, reset issues, funding limitations, requirements approved 

in advance of resourcing, or deliberate Army decisions to procure less than the Army Acquisition 

Objective, can result in shortages. These shortages may, in turn, result in units not achieving 

required equipment readiness levels until they are close to deployment. The ARNG will attempt 

to mitigate these shortages prior to mobilization through redistribution or cross-leveling of 

equipment. This allows the ARNG to leverage distribution of selected items to manage shortages 

better and maximize capabilities in an affordable manner. The ARNG will strive to meet the 

ARFORGEN APs for all equipment, but there will be circumstances when tailored equipping 

solutions will be implemented (e.g., emergency response units, ensuring availability of CDU 

equipment items). 

6. Equipment Shortages and Modernization Shortfalls 

While modernization levels overall are good, and within one percent of AC levels, there are 

nevertheless areas of concern. Modernization concerns include the Army National Guard’s 

UH-60 Blackhawk fleet, which is the oldest in the Army. Equipment shortfalls include the CBPS 

and general engineering equipment consisting of firefighting, support, and construction 

equipment. 

The equipment item listings in each of the following Budget Operating System (BOS) areas are 

not an all-inclusive ARNG equipment shortage list but are groupings of those shortages most 

critical to the ARNG for FY 2015. Such systems fulfill the Army’s combat, combat support, and 

combat service support missions. BOS narratives are provided below. The narratives with BOS 

tables contain select items of equipment with fill percentages below 90 percent. 

a. Maneuver Budget Operating System 

The Maneuver BOS is comprised of a variety of combat systems. Abrams Tanks, Bradley 

Fighting Vehicles, Stryker Vehicles, and Long Range Advanced Scout Surveillance Systems 

(LRAS3) are among the highlighted systems in this BOS. The projected status at the end of 

FY 2014 shows the Abrams Tank at 100 percent EOH fill with two Armor Brigade Combat 

Teams (ABCTs) upgraded to the System Enhanced Package variant, and five ABCTs and three 

Tactical Combat Formation Combined Arms Battalions upgraded to the Abrams Integrated 

Management Situational Awareness variant. The Bradley Fighting Vehicles are at 96 percent fill, 

with five of seven ABCTs programmed for upgrade to the Operation Desert Storm – Situational 

Awareness variant, and two additional ABCTs programmed for upgrade to the A3 variant; the 

Stryker Vehicles are at 88 percent fill; and LRAS3 are 100 percent fielded to the ARNG. 

b. Soldier Budget Operating System 

The Soldier BOS is comprised of night vision, thermal weapon sights, small arms, and weapon 

support items. This portfolio enables Soldiers in our formations to gain and maintain overmatch 

against current and potential adversaries. All systems in this BOS are fully funded in the current 

budget. The ARNG has 100 percent of authorized night vision and Javelin in the Block 0 and 
2-19 

Block 1 capability configurations. The ARNG has 99.1 percent of required thermal weapons 

sights on-hand, and Improved Target Acquisition Systems are filled to 91 percent. 

c. Air and Missile Defense Budget Operating System 

Air and Missile Defense (AMD) remains an Army core function, vital to the Army’s core 

competencies of combined arms maneuver and wide area security. More significantly, the Army 

is the only Military Service designated to conduct both air and missile defense in support of joint 

campaigns (see Table 2-2).

Today, ARNG AMD units support the National Capital Region’s Integrated Air Defense System 

that protects our Nation’s capital and also provide manning for Ground-based Midcourse Defense 

systems deployed in Alaska, Colorado, and California to deter and defeat ICBM attacks on our 

Nation. Both AC and ARNG AMD units regularly protect designated special security events 

such as Olympic Games or political and international summits hosted in the United States. 

Acquisition of new tactical systems and modernization of currently fielded assets continues to 

improve and integrate AMD systems into the Ballistic Missile Defense System architecture. 

d. Aviation Budget Operating System 

The Aviation BOS consists of all ARNG rotary-wing, fixed-wing, and unmanned aircraft 

systems. The BOS modernization effort generally is on track with the exception of the H-60 

series; budget funding reductions will decrease H-60L cascades from the AC (see Table 2-3). 

The ARNG operated 438 H-60A, 304 H-60L, and 81 H-60M in FY 2013, with scheduled H-60A 

divestment in FY 2026 and H-60M buyout forecasted for FY 2027. The ARNG AH-64D fleet 

will be Block II-pure in FY 2017. CH-47D conversion to CH-47F is fully funded. All C-23 

aircraft will be divested from the ARNG inventory in 1st quarter FY 2014. Initiatives such as 

bulk procurement of Common Tool Kits fill long standing shortages and illustrate aviation 

ground support equipment (AGSE) modernization.

e. Fire Support Budget Operating System 

The Fire Support BOS consists of all fire support and related systems. The ARNG is fully funded 

for “shoot” systems (cannons, howitzers, and rockets). Rocket systems are fully funded for 

improved armor cab, enhanced fire control capability, and enhanced long range communications. 

Towed cannons are fully funded for digitization (to M119A3) and additional M777A2s 

Howitzers are being fielded as Army brigade combat teams (BCTs) undergo reorganization to 

the BCT 2020 construct. The M1200 Armored Knight and Lightweight Laser Designator 

Rangefinder (LLDR) will complete fielding by FY 2015 with LLDR modernization beginning in 

FY 2016. The Q-53 Firefinder Radar and Q-50 Lightweight Counter-mortar Radar (LCMR) 

represent the key challenges to full readiness for this portfolio. Legacy radars (Q-36 and Q-37) 

are fielded to 85 percent of authorization; fielding of the Q-53 is not expected to begin until 

FY 2015 due to Full Materiel Release challenges. The Q-50 has entered full-rate production, but 

recent budget reductions have delayed the likely full-fielding date until early in the next decade. 

f. Mission Command Budget Operating System 

The Mission Command BOS consists of the Army digital C2, communication, computer, and 

intelligence systems including fixed, semi-fixed, and mobile networks that are designed for 

interoperability. Joint Capabilities Release–Blue Force Tracker (JCR-BFT) is the key situational 

awareness and C2 system, which links communication devices, sensors, vehicles, rotary-wing 

aircraft, and weapons platforms in a seamless digital network to provide a clear, continuous, and 

common picture of the battlefield. ARNG is fielding the JCR-BFT Tactical Operations Center 

system and a vehicular mounted system. Currently, JCR-BFT vehicular system is only being 

fielded to deploying units at reduced authorizations in accordance with a Force Feasibility 

Review known as the Key Leader Option. This number is significantly lower than MTOE 

authorizations (see Table 2-4).

h. Intelligence and Electronic Warfare (IEW) Budget Operating System 

The IEW BOS consists of a variety of systems, including the Prophet. The Prophet system 

includes one control vehicle and two or three sensors depending on the unit type. The Prophet 

equipment shortfall is due to unapproved funding for Prophet fielding teams, delayed Prophet 

sensor production and retrofit schedule, and delayed CONUS fielding schedule due to theater 

priorities (see Table 2-6). Prophet system production is fully funded with fielding complete in 

FY 2016. These systems are critical for maintaining and developing the highly-perishable signals 

intelligence (SIGINT) skills associated with SIGINT Analyst and Crypto logic Linguist 

occupational specialties.

i. Mobility Budget Operating System 

FY 2014 EOH quantities comprise a mixed fleet of new-build and legacy engineer systems. 

Family of Boats and Motors is currently under contract with fielding taking place in FY 2014–

FY 2016. The Water Well Drill Rig has been fielded with two systems being sent to the 

Afghanistan and African theaters in support of combatant commander operational needs. The 

ARNG contains 100 percent of the force structure for the Water Well Drill Rig and is currently 

working through either a payback plan from HQDA or possible retrograde from theater. Mobility 

systems include countermine and bridging systems. Shortfalls exist due to modernization of 

equipment, not shortages of EOH. The ARNG currently contains approximately 40 percent of all 

engineering force structure, much of which can directly support civil support and disaster relief 

missions. The Mobility BOS utilizes a mix of programmed funds and NGREA (see Table 2-7).

j. Combat Service Support (CSS) Sustainment Budget Operating System 

The CSS Sustainment BOS consists of medical, fuel, water, maintenance, and food systems. 

Recent utilization of FY 2012 and FY 2013 NGREA funding improved the on-hand posture of 

these vital capabilities; however, the ARNG EOH is below 80 percent for Multi-Temperature 

Refrigerated Container Systems (MTRCS), Assault Kitchens, and 2K Water Tank-Racks 

(HIPPOs) (see Table 2-8). These sustainment systems add vital capabilities to ARNG units 

conducting both combat and domestic operations.

k. CSS Transportation Budget Operating System 

The CSS Transportation BOS consists of Light Tactical Vehicles (LTVs), Medium Tactical 

Vehicles (MTVs), Heavy Tactical Vehicles (HTVs), and Tactical Trailers. The ARNG anticipates 

a requirement to recapitalize our 34-ton and 25-ton semitrailers. The ARNG also has a requirement 

to recapitalize Palletized Load Systems (PLS) to meet the Army standard of 50 percent 

modernization level by FY 2018. The ARNG PLS modernization level is currently 2 percent. 

HMMWVs are critical command and control and transportation assets during domestic 

operations. The ARNG is excess of the FY 2018 HMMWV requirement (see Table 2-9). The 

HMMWV fleet consists of 40 percent up-armored HMMWVs and 31 percent of the HMMWVs 

that have been recapitalized for an additional 20 years of service. The ongoing Army Tactical 

Wheeled Vehicle (TWV) Reduction Study V will reduce the ARNG’s overall HMMWV 
2-23 

requirements. The ARNG is purchasing 500 HMMWV Ground Ambulances with FY 2010 

NGREA funding. The ambulances are projected to be fully fielded by June 2015. The ARNG 

MTV fleet is projected to be 95 percent Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV), with only 

five percent substitutes by FY 2014, and 55 percent of the fleet will be the most modern uparmored models. The next critical Army Decision Point in FY 2014 will be to determine a 

recapitalization or replacement strategy for the first generation FMTVs that are approaching 15 

years of service life. PLS shortfalls exist due to modernization of equipment, not shortages of 

EOH.

D. Summary 

Today, the ARNG faces a historic opportunity. The convergence of combat operations 

drawdown in Afghanistan, current defense strategy, and new defense-wide budgetary reductions 

are challenging our decision makers. They must consider difficult spending options that are 

required to be sustainable while keeping America safe and secure. The ARNG’s integration into 

over 2,600 communities, across the United States and its territories, allows the Nation to 

maintain a robust military capability at the least possible cost to the taxpayer. 

The ARNG provides a cost effective solution given our country’s current fiscal constraints. It has 

repeatedly ensured our Nation’s security and reaffirmed its value to the Army and the Nation 

through times of conflict, natural disaster and civil emergencies. Although EOH is at historically 

high levels, we must continue to equip and modernize the ARNG to keep it on par and on pace 

with the AC. This will ensure readiness, operational capacity, and promote interoperability. We 

must preserve the conditions that maintain the ARNG as an operational force.

NOTE: This table identifies the dollar value of planned equipment procurements with the National Guard and 

Reserve Equipment Appropriation (NGREA). These funds are available for a three-year period from the year of 

appropriation. Deliveries of procured equipment normally take one to two years from date of procurement before 

they arrive in the inventory; e.g., items procured in FY 2014 would be expected to arrive in RC inventories in FY 

2015 or FY 2016. All values are costs in dollars.

decommissioning (-). Transferred equipment is commonly called "cascaded equipment," or equipment that is

provided to the RC once the AC receives more modern equipment. Although this table highlights a three-year

period, many Services will not know exact quantities of transfers or withdrawals until year of execution, due to

the uncertainty of the procurement/delivery cycle of new equipment.

The ARNG is short both 34-ton and 25-ton semitrailers. 

Both fleets also consist of 20 year old systems. The ARNG 

will require a recapitalization effort to sustain the existing 34-

The ARNG used FY 2010 NGREA funding to purchase the 

500 ambulance shortfall. By June 2015, the ARNG will have 

100% of its ambulance requirements. However, a majority 

of the ARNG fleet is over 20 years old and requires 

recapitalization to extend its service life. The Army does not 

have a long term strategy to replace or modernize the 

ambulance fleet, which degrades the ARNG's readiness to 

support domestic operations. Recapitalizing 345 

ambulances will improve the ARNG's preparedness to have 

fully mission capable ambulances to support civilian 

authorities during domestics operations.

III. Army Reserve Overview 

A. Current Status of the Army Reserve 

1. General Operational Overview 

The operational Army Reserve is a critical 

component in our Nation’s defense. Enhanced 

by civilian skill sets that serve as a force 

multiplier, the Army Reserve delivers vital 

military capabilities essential to the Total 

Force. Under Title 10 of the United States 

Code, the Army Reserve mission is to provide 

trained, equipped, and ready Soldiers and 

cohesive units to meet the global requirements 

across the full spectrum of operations. As 

such, equipping the Army Reserve to 

continuously support the Army and joint force 

missions at home and abroad is paramount. 

a. Status of Forces as an Operational Reserve 

The Army Reserve has transitioned from a strategic reserve to an operational reserve while 

providing continuous support to homeland defense (HD), Defense Support of Civil Authorities 

(DSCA), and overseas contingency operations (OCO). This paradigm shift requires sustained 

equipping investments to preserve the Army Reserve as an operational force essential to national 

defense. A substantial reduction in funding will reduce the Army Reserve’s ability to effectively 

meet Army requirements. As such, equipment modernization must continue to ensure seamless 

support for joint, interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational missions, as well as 

maintaining capabilities to support contingency operations paramount to supporting the Army’s 

2020 Vision. 

Modernization efforts continue to advance the Army Reserve’s ability to perform its mission 

within all operational environments. As of FY 2013, the Army Reserve EOH percentage is 

86 percent and 66 percent modernized, but the Army Reserve must continue to focus on 

improving critical capabilities across every equipment category. Modernization and EOH 

challenges persist for key enabler capabilities, such as engineer equipment, field logistics 

systems, force protection equipment, medical equipment, mission command systems, and 

transport systems. Continuous modernization investment is needed to ensure the Army Reserve 

remains a relevant operational force. 

As equipping budgets continue to decrease, the Army Reserve is emphasizing the recapitalization 

of legacy systems to sustain adequate capability levels. While considerable amounts of equipment 

are expected to be cascaded to the Army Reserve in future years, aging fleets will drive increases 

in sustainment costs. Funding ceased for Light Tactical Vehicle (LTV) recapitalization in 2010 and 

will cease for Medium Tactical Vehicle (MTV) recapitalization at the end of FY 2013. Without 

sustained fleet modernization, the Army Reserve’s LTV fleet will deteriorate, increasing 

sustainment costs while reducing the Army Reserve’s ability to respond to contingency operations. 

Reestablishing an LTV recapitalization program is necessary to sustain the Army Reserves ability 

Top Army Reserve Focus Areas 

 Obtain affordable and cost effective 

equipping solutions 

 Resource and sustain critical equipment and 

support infrastructure to maintain the Army 

Reserve as part of an operational force 

 Refine equipping strategy to support 

homeland defense (HD) and Defense Support 

of Civil Authorities (DSCA) 

 Reestablish Light Tactical Vehicle (LTV) 

recapitalization program 

 Increase Critical Dual Use level to 80 percent 

equipment on-hand (EOH) 
2-25 

to support HD and DSCA as well as accomplishing the Army Reserve’s mission of providing the 

Army’s operational reserve. 

The Army Reserve is required to provide 24,000 Soldiers annually in support of Army Force 

Generation (ARFORGEN) planning requirements. The Active Component (AC) requires 

90 percent of Army Reserve Soldiers to deploy within the first 45 days of contingency 

operations. Army Reserve Soldiers are required to support combatant command needs and 

provide critical enabler capabilities to theater operations. For the Army Reserve to remain a 

ready and operational force, it must be funded and equipped appropriately. A lack of adequate 

resources risks the Army Reserve’s ability to conduct effective, timely, sustained operations. 

b. Homeland Defense and Defense Support of Civil Authorities 

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) 2012 authorizes access to Army Reserve 

capabilities to provide DSCA support in response to domestic emergencies and major disaster 

operations. The Army Reserve is among the Nation’s first Title 10 responders for DSCA 

missions, with a presence in communities in every state and territory. The Army Reserve is a 

valuable asset to respond to international incidents in support of the United States Agency for 

International Development as the lead agency from the Department of State conducting foreign 

consequence management operations. Additionally, the Army Reserve is engaged in the DoD 

planning process for complex catastrophes. All of these missions require modern equipment to 

save lives, reduce suffering, and mitigate significant property damage. This important mission 

requires the unique enabler capabilities resident in the Army Reserve. 

The Army Reserve possesses a wide range of unique capabilities available for use in support of 

HD and DSCA operations (see Table 2-10). The Army Reserve has relevant and capable units 

for leveraging and resourcing equipment and Soldiers to provide critical capabilities needed to 

sustain governmental operations in relief of human suffering and minimizing property damage. 

Army Reserve units are decentralized, providing geographical dispersion that is not bound by 

state boundaries, increasing the chance of having a unit with the right capability to respond to a 

domestic major disaster or emergency nearby. 

Table 2-10. Army Reserve Capabilities to Support HD and DSCA 

Type of Unit Number of Units Percentage of Total Army 

Mortuary Affairs 6 75% 

Civil Affairs 46 70% 

Quartermaster 144 64%

Transportation 300 44% 

Chemical 50 43% 

Engineer 288 31% 

Military Police 113 24% 

Signal 20 17% 

Aviation 29 5% 

 
2-26 

The Army Reserve provides a significant portion of the Army’s contingency response force. As 

such, those designated units rely on Critical Dual Use (CDU) equipment to accomplish a wide 

array of missions and are a priority for equipment distribution and maintenance readiness. 

Subsets of these capabilities reside in units that are vital to the execution of HD and DSCA 

missions. CDU equipment comprises those items that support operational requirements and 

enable the Army to assist civil authorities in responses to natural disasters, acts of terrorism, and 

other manmade disasters identified in planning scenarios. 

The Army Reserve contributes a range of capabilities to the chemical, biological, radiological, 

and nuclear (CBRN) response enterprise. The Army Reserve provides the capability to respond 

to multiple catastrophic events involving the use of weapons of mass destruction or a terrorist 

event. These capabilities include a Theater Aviation Command, medical brigades and hospitals, 

consequence management units, movement control detachments, firefighting units with 

specialized search and extraction capability, quartermaster units, engineer units, transportation 

units, and chemical/biological detection units. These units provide DSCA support to a lead 

Federal agency in the event of a CBRN attack on our Nation. 

2. Status of Equipment 

a. Equipment On-hand 

Over the last decade, modernization efforts have improved the Army Reserve’s equipping 

posture and ability to perform its mission within all operational environments. This is evident in 

the increase of Army Reserve EOH from less than 78 percent in FY 2006 to 86 percent in 

FY 2013. To meet readiness requirements, the Army Reserve internally cross-levels equipment 

to ensure units meet aim points associated with the ready and available pools of the ARFORGEN 

process. The Army Reserve also mitigates EOH shortages and enhances modernization with 

cascaded equipment and by filling programmed procurement gaps with NGREA funding. Fiscal 

constraints hinder efforts to increase EOH and improve modernization levels, which are 

necessary to control sustainment costs of legacy equipment. Equipment shortfalls and 

modernization challenges present unresourced requirements, which adversely impact readiness, 

as demonstrated by a developing LTV capability gap. The majority of the LTV fleet has 

surpassed its economic useful life. Without an ongoing recapitalization program to extend 

service life, the cost of maintaining this fleet will dramatically increase with time. Equipment 

and modernization funding levels will need to be restored to support operational requirements in 

order to prevent jeopardizing the Army Reserve as an enduring operational force. Table 2-11

highlights the Army Reserve’s top capability modernization shortages.

2-27 

b. Average Age of Major Items of Equipment 

The implementation of the budget control act imposed additional fiscal constraints resulting in 

the utilization of equipment beyond its intended life cycle. Substantially declining budgets and 

rapidly developing technologies continuously increase modernization gaps that were deferred 

during a decade at war. Efforts to maintain aging fleets beyond the intended life cycle generates 

cascading effects reflected in higher sustainment costs and deferred upgrades to repair facilities. 

Mitigating strategies to reduce the average age of equipment include recapitalization programs to 

modernize equipment and the Army Reserves’ rebuild program designed to extend the service 

life of combat support (CS) and combat service support (CSS) enabling systems by rebuilding 

equipment to like-new conditions. Resourcing recapitalization and rebuild programs remains 

essential for incrementally replacing legacy systems and decreasing the average age of Army 

Reserve equipment. Table 2-11 highlights the average age of major items of the Army Reserve 

fleet. The Army Reserve continues to purge its fleet of aging and obsolete equipment to reduce 

the average age and sustainment cost. Table 2-12 provides a list of the Army Reserve top five 

legacy equipment items. 

Table 2-12. Army Reserve Top Five Legacy Equipment

Water Purification System W47225 29 

Truck Ambulance – HMMWV T3884 25 

Truck Tractor – M915 T61103 21 

c. Compatibility of Current Equipment with the Active Component 

The Army prioritizes equipment resourcing based on first deployers, regardless of component. 

Over the past several years, the Army has greatly improved the compatibility and modernization 

of Army Reserve equipment. However, some units will continue to have legacy equipment. 

While the Army Reserve has explored initiatives to mitigate these compatibility differences for 

deploying units through internal cross-leveling during pre-mobilization preparations, 

redistributing equipment is not an affordable or cost-effective solution since it consistently 

consumes limited financial resources. The invaluable support the Army Reserve has received 

through National Guard and Reserve Equipment Appropriation (NGREA) funding has enabled 

us to focus selected procurements on filling modernization gaps and equipment shortages. 

d. Maintenance Issues 

The Army Reserve’s depot maintenance programs rebuild equipment to like-new conditions with 

zero miles and zero hours. A consistent yearly decrease in depot maintenance spending prevents 

aging fleets, including large amounts of CDU equipment, from being rebuilt. The depot 

maintenance budget was reduced from $247M in FY 2012, to $162M in FY 2013 and is projected 

to be $59M in FY 2014. This reduction in funding will hinder Army Reserve fleet modernization 

efforts. Equipment operation and sustainment cost increases are commensurate with the reduction 

in rebuild efforts as legacy equipment becomes more challenging and costly to maintain, thus 
2-28 

decreasing readiness levels. As a result, readiness rates will suffer and safety concerns will 

increase. Increasing the emphasis on depot maintenance ensures equipment is available and ready 

for all missions. 

The following initiatives are examples of Army Reserve collaboration with industry to design 

and implement total rebuild and refurbishment programs for CDU equipment (see Table 2-13).

e. Modernizing the Tactical Wheeled Vehicle Fleet 

The Army is taking strides to improve the modernization of major end items, including TWVs 

that are being fielded new or recapitalized through national level maintenance programs. 

Modernization efforts have proven successful in improving the MTV and Heavy Tactical 

Vehicle (HTV) fleets. Despite accomplishments in modernizing MTV and HTV fleets, the Army 

Reserve requires $2.2B to fill LTV modernization shortages to 100 percent of the authorized 

19,990 vehicles. The recapitalization program for modernizing the HMMWV fleet ceased in 

FY 2010. A significant modernization shortfall is developing within the LTV fleet, including 

armor-capable and ambulance HMMWVs. The Army Reserve anticipates fielding the Joint Light 

Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) in FY 2022 at a ratio of one JLTV for every three HMMWVs. As a 

result, the Army Reserve is projected to maintain the HMMWV within the LTV fleet through 

FY 2045. The absence of a recapitalization program to modernize the LTV fleet will generate a 

significant increase in sustainment costs and degrade readiness. Efforts to improve the HTV fleet 

increased the heavy expanded mobile tactical truck (HEMTT) modernization level to 50 percent 

and the M915 line haul tractor to 40 percent modernized. 

B. Changes since the Last NGRER 

1. Budget 

The Army Reserve’s procurement funding allocation decreased by 31% between the FY 2013 

and FY 2014 President’s Budgets (from $660M to $454M). This reduction is part of a larger 

trend as the Army Reserve’s procurement funding decreased by 73% between the FY 2011 and 

FY 2014 President’s Budget (from $1,686M to $454M). Through FY 2017, base budget 

allocations are projected to improve slightly, but remain well below levels required to maintain 

an enduring operational Army Reserve. 
2-29 

2. Rebalancing of Army Reserve Capabilities 

Changes in aviation, engineering, and chemical force structure have triggered unit conversions, 

thus changing equipment requirements. For example, Army Reserve aviation capabilities are 

converting Attack and Reconnaissance Aviation to Assault and Medical Evacuation 

(MEDEVAC) resulting in equipment conversions and modifications to fulfill new mission 

requirements. 

3. Army Reserve Equipping Strategy 

The Army Reserve’s Equipping Strategy is concurrent with the Army’s Equipping and 

Modernization Strategy. The Army’s Equipping and Modernization Strategy directs that Army 

components receive the right equipment, delivered to the right units, at the right location, at the 

lowest cost. The Army Reserve will achieve equipping and modernization standards through 

three lines of effort, which include equipping units for assigned missions, increasing readiness by 

cascading equipment from the AC, and, where possible, exploring cost-effective and affordable 

equipping solutions. 

The Army Reserve will continue to rely on cascaded equipment to fill equipment shortages. 

Rebuilding cascaded equipment through national-level maintenance and recapitalization 

programs prior to delivery and receipt by the Army Reserve remains vital to maintaining 

readiness levels and reducing operation and maintenance costs. 

The Army Reserve will continue to support the Army’s Equipping and Modernization Strategy 

by exploring cost effective and affordable equipping and modernization solutions to fill 

shortages and close modernization gaps. This will ensure the Army Reserve remains an 

operational force that is versatile in supporting the Army’s role in the national defense strategy. 

These lines of effort will augment current initiatives to increase CDU capabilities concurrent 

with stated goals of ensuring Army Reserve units possess the right equipment, at the right place 

and time, for delivering unique capabilities globally in support of the full spectrum of Army 

operations. 

4. Equipping Successes 

In FY 2013, the Army Reserve received equipment valued in excess of $1.67B to fill equipment 

shortages and modernization requirements, while simultaneously purging $386M of obsolete and 

legacy equipment from the inventory. Congressional support via NGREA provided funding for 

logistics, mobility and medical capabilities, to include the purchase of $15M in container 

handling equipment, $14M in tactical generators and $130M in recapitalization for the HTV 

fleet. The Army Reserve also rebuilt 70 percent of its MTV fleet and 83 percent of its semitrailer tankers. The quality and quantity of equipment received enhances interoperability with 

joint, interagency, intergovernmental, and multi-national partners, in support of global 

operations. In addition, efforts to improve and sustain modernization of CDU equipment enables 

the Army Reserve to employ unique capabilities required to serve as a life saving and life 

sustaining force for the Nation, in response to DSCA requests and HD missions. 
2-30 

C. Future Years Program (FY 2015–FY 2017) 

1. New Equipment Procurements 

a. Base Budget 

Based on FY 2014 President’s Budget request, the Army Reserve procurement funding is 

projected to receive a 60 percent budget reduction between FY 2015 ($739M) and FY 2018 

($293M). Continued budget decrements will hasten EOH and modernization shortcomings 

across every Army Reserve equipping category, risking momentum achieved in transforming the 

Army Reserve to an operational force and readiness gains realized during a decade of war. 

b. National Guard Reserve Equipment Appropriation 

The Army Reserve has used NGREA funding to increase modernization and EOH. NGREA has 

enabled the Army Reserve to procure the most modernized combat support and combat service 

support equipment to fill those critical equipment shortages not scheduled for procurement. Over 

the last three years (FY 2012–FY 2014), the Army Reserve has received $560M in NGREA, 

enhancing modernization by filling gaps in the base budget. Additionally, NGREA funding has 

supported efforts to improve equipment modernization in CDU items, enabling the Army 

Reserve to serve as one of the first Title 10 responders in support of HD and DSCA. 

2. Anticipated Transfers from Active Component to Reserve Component 

Table 5 reflects equipment transfers from AC to the Army Reserve from FY 2015–FY 2017. 

3. Anticipated Withdrawals from Army Reserve Inventory 

The Army Reserve does not anticipate any equipment withdrawals of major end items. The 

Army continues to ensure any withdrawals are paid back as quickly as possible. 

4. Simulators 

The Army Reserve continues to pursue Live, Virtual, Constructive, and Gaming (LVC/G) 

simulation technologies as an interim and affordable solution to mitigate equipment 

modernization shortfalls. This enables the Army Reserve to sustain proficiency levels obtained 

during a decade of combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, while ensuring the Army Reserve 

maintains an interoperable capability to support future combat operations and increases 

responsiveness to HD and DSCA missions. Using simulations to close training gaps formed due 

to equipment and modernization shortages mitigates risk in producing unique capabilities. 

Examples of simulators used to close modernization gaps in the Army Reserve mission 

command and medical capabilities include 

 Multiple Amputee Training Simulator (MATS): This simulator is essential in providing 

realistic home station events-based training to the Army Reserve’s 20,000 emergency 

medical technicians and combat medics. The MATS afford medical personnel a capability to 

maintain individual certifications, sustain stand-alone Soldier skills proficiency, and support 

collective lane training events. 

 Home-station Instrumentation Training System (HITS): Designed to introduce 

instrumentation into local live training events, HITS consists of an interim range, vehicle 
2-31 

radio, Soldier radio, field after-action-review kit, and exercise control and operator 

workstation. HITS is a crucial training system that will enhance and improve the collective 

maneuver training for platoon through battalion units. 

5. Equipment Shortages and Modernization Shortfalls 

The following sections highlight Army Reserve equipment shortages and modernization 

shortfalls for each of the eleven Army Reserve Equipment Capability Categories. See Annex A 

at the end of this chapter narrative for an explanation of the embedded tables in these sections. 

a. Aviation 

Army Reserve aviation represents 5 percent of the total Army’s aviation force with a current 

requirement of 205 fixed-wing and rotary-wing airframes. In FY 2013, the Army Reserve 

possessed 97 percent of its required airframes, and the current inventory is sufficient to meet 

mission requirements. 

The 2012 NDAA allows the Army Reserve to leverage aviation capabilities to perform 

lifesaving, property protection, and damage mitigation in support of HD and DSCA missions. 

The Army Reserve’s CDU list provides the Army and DoD with Army Reserve aviation 

capabilities to respond to HD and DSCA mission requirements. In FY 2017, 100 percent of the 

Army Reserve’s aviation capabilities will be CDU capable and will continue to play a vital role 

in supporting HD and DSCA missions. 

The conversion of Army Reserve aviation from Attack and Reconnaissance to Assault and 

MEDEVAC is scheduled to be completed by the end of FY 2017. Through the conversion, Army 

Reserve aviation will receive 48 Blackhawk utility helicopters (UH-60s), thus rebalancing and 

modernizing Army Reserve aviation capabilities to remain an operational force available to 

support all missions, including combat operations. Ongoing initiatives that directly impact the 

Army Reserve aviation capabilities include the following: 

 The HH-60 (Blackhawk) MEDEVAC units’ authorizations will increase from 12 to 

15 aircraft in FY 2016. 

 The FY 2013 President’s Budget will modernize an aging CH-47D fleet. Modernization 

efforts will replace all Army Reserve CH-47D models with the latest CH-47F model. Army 

Reserve’s CH-47 fleet is projected to be 100 percent modernized by the end of FY 2017. 

 The fixed-wing fleet is currently short four C-12 aircraft. Efforts to implement affordable 

solutions are awaiting HQDA rebalancing decisions. The legacy UC-35 fleet remains 

100 percent on-hand. 

b. Mission Command 

Network Transport and Mission Command Systems: This portfolio consists of transport, 

applications, enabler, and integration capabilities designed to facilitate digital planning, 

information sharing, and provide immediate connectivity of all echelons on the battlefield. The 

Army Reserve has made significant strides in critical network transport systems, fielding 
2-32 

100 percent of Warfighter Information Network–Tactical (WIN-T) requirements, and is on pace 

to complete fielding of Secure Mobile Anti-Jam Reliable Tactical Terminal, Global Broadcast 

Service, and Phoenix systems in FY 2014. However, budget decrements will delay fielding for 

other key network applications and enablers, such as Command Post of the Future, Blue Force 

Tracker, Battle Command Sustainment Support System, Distributed Common Ground System–

Army, and Global Combat Support System–Army to FY 2017 or beyond. 

c. Field Logistics Systems 

The Army Reserve provides over 50 percent of the logistical capabilities for the Army, including 

supply and services, field and sustainment maintenance, transportation, health services, mortuary 

affairs, and aviation lift support. The Army Reserve field logistics capabilities are CDU items 

essential for providing emergency assistance when requested by state governors and the 

President of the United States. 

 Quartermaster: As an operational force, the Army Reserve provides 66 percent of the total 

quartermaster deployable capability for the Army in support of combat operations, HD, and 

DSCA missions. Equipping efforts have increased on-hand quantities and modernization of 

critical quartermaster systems. Despite improvements, critical shortages in modernized 

quartermaster equipment remain. Critical unresourced modernization and equipment 

shortages exist through FY 2019, thus impacting the Army Reserve’s ability to provide 

logistical support and services for OCO, HD, and DSCA. Significant modernization 

requirements and equipping shortages include Load Handling System Compatible Water 

Tank Rack (HIPPO), Forward Area Water Point Supply System (FAWPSS), material 

handling equipment, and Petroleum Quality Analysis System–Enhanced (PQAS-E) (see 

Table 2-14). Resources required to fulfill modernization and equipment shortages exceed 

$205M.

Material Handling Equipment 4,634 4,291 3,907 727 $98.6M 

 

 Medical and Dental: The Army Reserve provides 59 percent of the Army’s medical and 

dental capabilities. Army Reserve medical and dental units are equipped and modernized to 

80 percent, with the exception of the combat support hospitals. One quarter of the combat 

support hospitals are fully equipped and modernized. Due to the rapid evolution of medical 

technology and costs associated with storage, maintenance, and procurement, it is more 

affordable to maintain current equipping levels for this capability. To ensure medical 

proficiency levels are maintained to support combat operations, HD, and DSCA missions, 30 

Triage Training sets are required. The mitigating strategy to offset equipment modernization 

shortages includes utilizing the Medical Regional Training Sites to provide the equipment 

necessary to provide rapid response to HD and DSCA missions. Efforts to support disaster 

relief and humanitarian assistance within the combatant commands include establishing fly 
2-33 

away packages equipped to provide surgical, pharmaceutical, and other medical capabilities 

including a 44-bed capacity. 

d. Transportation 

The Army Tactical Wheeled Vehicle (TWV) 2025 Strategy serves as a plan to achieve and 

sustain the capabilities the Army will need for the next 30 years. The Army Reserve lacks the 

quantity of armor-capable TWV required to meet the 50 percent armored and operational 

requirements. Critical investments in new procurement and recapitalization programs have been 

instrumental in modernizing the Army Reserve’s TWV fleet. The following three fleets comprise 

the Army Reserve’s TWVs: light, medium, and heavy. 

 Light Tactical Vehicle (LTV): The HMMWV recapitalization program ceased in FY 2010, 

and there is no Army program to modernize the fleet at this time. Including substitutes, the 

Army Reserve has 100 percent of its HMMWV requirement. However, only 19 percent of 

the fleet is armor-capable. The Army is in the process of redistributing armor-capable 

vehicles to the Army Reserve to replace legacy equipment and serve as a bridging strategy 

until the JLTV is developed and fielded. Army Reserve JLTV fielding is scheduled to begin 

in FY 2022. Ultimately, the JLTV will replace one-third of the HMMWV fleet. Currently, no 

program exists to recapitalize the residual HMMWV fleet, though many of these vehicles are 

projected to remain in the inventory through 2045. The remaining LTV fleet comprises unarmored and legacy vehicles which are limited to HD and DSCA operations that do not 

require armor-capable equipment. Of specific concern is the legacy ambulance fleet, which 

remains below 68 percent fill and surpasses its economic useful life. 

 Medium Tactical Vehicle (MTV): The MTV fleet is projected to be at 100 percent fill and 

90 percent modernized by the end of FY 2016. Anticipated Army TWV fleet reductions and 

cross-leveling is projected to increase the MTV modernization levels and divest most M900-

series vehicles from the fleet by FY 2016. 

 Heavy Tactical Vehicle (HTV): The Army Reserve is projected to have 100 percent of its 

HTV requirement on-hand by the end of FY 2016. However, this includes non-armor capable 

legacy systems that are not globally deployable. This is a concern as the bulk of the HTV 

assets reside within the Army Reserve. The HEMTT family is projected to be at 100 percent 

on-hand by FY 2016. The on-hand percentage will continue to increase through the 

reallocation of vehicles redeploying from theater. Resourcing vehicle recapitalization must 

continue to achieve the modernization requirements defined in the Army’s Equipment 

Modernization Strategy. The HEMTT wrecker fleet, a critical asset for recovery operations, 

and the PLS fleet are projected to be at 60 percent modernized, and the HEMTT Light 

Equipment Transport is projected to be at 72 percent modernized, all by FY 2015. 

e. Watercraft 

The unique capabilities of Army Reserve watercraft provide support to combat operations and to 

HD and DSCA missions (see Table 2-15). Aging watercraft fleets continue to increase 

maintenance and operational costs. Motorized watercraft requires on-condition cyclic 

maintenance (OCCM) every three years and every four years for barges. Service cost ranges up 

to $10M per maintenance cycle, totaling $15M–$22M annually. Near term service life extension 
2-34 

programs (SLEPs) and OCCM execution continue to extend and enhance the Army Reserve’s 

capabilities. The SLEPs and OCCM enable the Army Reserve to maintain an aging fleet while 

awaiting modernization or new equipment procurement. 

 Landing Craft Utility (LCU) 2000: LCU was designed for 25 years of service. The average 

age of the current fleet is 24 years. Modernization efforts have been delayed due to 

reallocation of funding from FY 2016 to FY 2017 and FY 2019. Army Reserve LCU 

modernization will remain at 50 percent through FY 2022. On average, it takes 24 months to 

complete modernization of one LCU. 

 Large Tug 128 Foot: The Army Reserve has a requirement for three Large Tugs with a 

projected shortage of one at the end of FY 2016. Due to fiscal constraints, the Army has 

decided to delay procurement until the operations tempo requires this capability. 

 Barge Derrick Crane 115 Ton: The Army Reserve has a requirement for three Barge 

Derricks, of which two are on-hand (66 percent). The Army Reserve is mitigating the 

training impact by sharing equipment between the AC and RC. 

 Landing Craft Mechanized (LCM) 8: The LCM 8 fleet was fielded in 1967 and is well 

beyond its life cycle. Extensive time required to complete dry docking repairs significantly 

increases cost required to maintain the fleet.

f. Engineering and Combat Mobility 

Engineering and combat mobility consists mainly of bridging, countermine, horizontal 

construction, mine detection, and route clearance equipment. The Army Reserve retains 

30 percent of the engineer capabilities for the total force to include 24 percent of the Army’s 

Multi-role Bridge capability. The Vehicle Mounted Mine Detection System, known as “Husky,” 

and the Mine Protected Clearance Vehicle, known as “Buffalo,” are scheduled for delivery to the 

Army Reserve’s route clearance units through FY 2017. Additionally, modernization of 

bulldozers and motorized graders are programmed. Equipment and modernization shortfalls exist 

in employing combat mobility capabilities necessary for safeguarding maneuver and movement 

of supported forces. Total resources required to completely fill engineering and combat mobility 

shortfalls exceed $300M (see Table 2-16).

g. Force Protection

Force protection includes CBRN, obscurants, base defense, and collective and individual 

protection, of which the Army Reserve provides 43 percent of the capability for the Army. Of the 

60 systems comprising force protection, the most significant is the Nuclear–Biological-Chemical 

Reconnaissance Vehicle (NBCRV), a Stryker-based platform incorporating multiple detection 

systems. The Army Reserve is projected to be 61 percent modernized in this system by FY 2017. 

The NBCRV is an essential CDU item, in support of the Army Reserve’s increased HD/DSCA 

role and the Defense CBRN Response Force. 

h. Civil Affairs (CA) and Military Information Support Operations (MISO) 

Equipment shortfalls continue to exist due to the realignment of CA and MISO from the United 

States Army Special Operations Command to the Army Reserve (see Table 2-17). HQDA 

continues to provide oversight of current and future equipping actions that will improve the 

readiness of CA and MISO unique equipment. Systems, including the special operations forces 

(SOF) Deployable Node-Lite and the Product Distribution System-Lite, are forecasted to be 

below 80 percent equipment on-hand through FY 2016.

D. Summary 

The Army Reserve’s goal is to ensure that units and Soldiers have the most modern equipment 

for supporting contingency operations, HD, and DSCA missions. Over the past decade, the Army 

Reserve equipping posture significantly improved as reflected by achieving 86 percent EOH and 

66 percent modernization. Despite these improvements, critical equipping and modernization 

shortages remain one of the Army Reserve’s greatest challenges. Declining budgets coupled with 

anticipated delays in production and modernization will significantly increase the sustainment 

costs associated with maintaining an aging fleet. Congressional support is essential in achieving 

the means necessary to address unfunded requirements in equipment and modernization 
2-36 

shortfalls. Investing in the Army Reserve today as an enduring operational force is a cost 

effective and affordable solution for expanding and preserving the Army Reserve’s unique 

capabilities for enabling a strong national defense and protecting national interest at home and 

abroad.

NOTE: This table compares planned Service procurements and transfers to the RC in FY 2011 with actual 

procurements and transfers. FY 2011 is selected as these are the most recent funds to expire. Because the 

procurement cycle is normally one to two years from funding to delivery, this table identifies only deliveries 

through the end of FY 2013. Procurement and NGREA columns reflect cost values in dollars.

Chapter 3

United States Marine Corps Reserve 

I. Marine Corps Overview 

“Our nation has long recognized the need for a ready expeditionary force, one able to deter those 

who would do us harm, swiftly intervene when they act to do so, and fight to win where the 

security interests of our nation are threatened.”1

No matter where they serve or what the mission, 

the Marine Corps continues to be the Nation’s Expeditionary Force in Readiness. Since the 

founding of our corps, Marines have been guided by corps values, honor, courage, and 

commitment. They continue to hold true to professional ethos deeply rooted in discipline, 

fidelity, and sacrifice. More than a decade of sustained combat operations has forged a force of 

courageous, compassionate leaders and warriors who understand that hard training and a 

willingness to sacrifice are what make our Corps one of the most capable fighting forces the 

world has ever known. 

This past year, Marines have been actively engaged in every corner of the global security 

environment. The Marine Corps continued to meet operational commitments in 

Afghanistan, while simultaneously working with more than 90 allies and partners to train, 

to learn, and to build effective security institutions. In addition to forces committed to 

Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), our Marine Expeditionary Units (MEUs), in 

partnership with Navy Amphibious Ready Groups (ARGs), continued to patrol regions of 

likely crisis. Other task-organized Marine Air Ground Task Forces (MAGTFs), operating 

from expeditionary locations, supported U.S. national security objectives through forward 

presence, deterrence, multinational theater security cooperation exercises, and building 

partner capacity. Marines have been active in every geographical combatant command, 

serving as a key component of the joint force. Even under fiscal restraint, we will continue 

to support these strategically important activities to the greatest extent possible.2

As Marine Corps commitments in Afghanistan decrease through 2014, routine participation in 

forward presence and crisis response missions will again become the primary focus of the 

Marine Corps Reserve. 

First and foremost, Marine forces are amphibious in character and at their best when operating in 

close partnership with the United States Navy. To maximize flexibility, strategic agility, and 

responsiveness, the Marine Corps is optimized for rapid deployment, versatile employment, and 

self-sustainment via a MAGTF that consists of four core elements: a command element, a 

ground combat element, an aviation combat element, and a logistics combat element. MAGTFs 

are a potent and capable middleweight fighter filling the seam between the Nation’s heavy 

conventional force and its special operations force. Each MAGTF includes a Reserve capability 

that is designed to seamlessly integrate with the Active Component (AC) forces when needed. 

MAGTFs are light enough to arrive rapidly at the scene of a crisis yet heavy enough to carry the 

day and sustain themselves upon arrival. 

 

1 The Posture of the United States Marine Corps, April 2013, pg. 2. 2 The Posture of the United States Marine Corps, April 2013, pg. 4. 
3-2 

“Operating in partnership with the Navy, MAGTFs create the strategic asymmetries that make 

the joint force so effective on the modern battlefield. Amphibious and expeditionary capabilities 

contribute to each of the ten mission areas of the joint force, and are directly responsive to the 

security demands articulated in the President’s Defense Strategic Guidance for the 21st

Century.”3

A. Marine Corps Planning Guidance 

1. Strategic Concept of the Marine Corps 

We are committed to optimizing our force structure for crisis response and forward presence. 

As we move into FY 2014 and beyond, our budget submission balances our force 

structure, our readiness, and our capability to meet national security commitments. A 

critical measure of the effectiveness of our Marine Corps is its readiness. Our readiness is 

preserved through a careful balance of high quality people, well-trained units, 

modernized equipment, well-maintained installations, and a force level sufficient to 

accomplish our many missions. Failure in any one of these pillars of readiness begins to 

set the conditions for an eventual hollowing of the force.4

We also understand the importance of tailoring our limited resources to our structure and, where 

necessary, “living with what is good enough.”

2. Marine Corps Total Force Concept 

Within the Marine Corps, the AC and Reserve Component (RC) are integrated as a total force. 

Reserve component units are similar to their Active Component counterparts in structure, 

capability, and equipment and they maintain the same fundamental individual and unit 

training standards. This enables them to conduct assigned missions in a manner 

commensurate to their active counterparts after appropriate pre-deployment training. The 

Reserve Component serves to augment and reinforce Active Component Marine Air 

Ground Task Forces (MAGTFs), but also maintains the capability to task-organize into 

MAGTFs composed entirely of Reserve units.5

The RC is purpose-built and able to provide the strategic depth and operational augmentation 

that make it a critical “shock absorber” for America’s Expeditionary Force in Readiness. 

B. Marine Corps Equipping Policy 

The Marine Corps develops a Total Force Approved Acquisition Objective (AAO) for each new 

item of equipment using an integrated system of dynamic processes. These processes capitalize 

on operational experience to identify, define, and meet the emerging needs of Marine forces in 

support of combatant commander (CCDR) requirements. The Marine Corps also uses a pushfulfillment process to sustain major end items. This materiel management approach ensures that 

equipment is sourced and aligned with the Commandant of the Marine Corps’ equipping 

 

3 The Posture of the United States Marine Corps, April 2013, pg. 3. 4 The Posture of the United States Marine Corps, April 2013, pg. 14. 5 Guidance for Integration of the Total Force, November 2013, pg. 1, 2. 
3-3 

strategies. It also reduces latency in distribution and improves visibility and transparency of the 

materiel distribution process. 

C. Plan to Fill Mobilization Shortages in the RC

Reserve units maintain equipment based upon the unit’s Training Allowance (T/A), which is a 

portion of the warfighting equipment requirement set forth in the unit’s Table of Organization 

and Equipment (TO&E). Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) procures 

equipment for the RC, with all equipment above the T/A maintained “in-stores” at Marine Corps 

Logistics Bases. In-theater assets, in conjunction with pre-positioned equipment, can be used to 

satisfy the resourcing of the delta of TO&E minus T/A for activated units. This methodology for 

“global sourcing” has been used effectively to satisfy both AC and RC unit equipment shortfalls. 

D. Initiatives Affecting RC Equipment 

Due to sequestration and budget cuts, the Marine Corps will be forced to reduce or cancel 

modernization programs and infrastructure investments while maintaining readiness for both AC 

and RC Marines. “Money that should be available for procuring new equipment will be rerouted 

to maintenance and spares for legacy equipment, including a 42-year-old Nixon-era amphibious 

assault vehicle.”6

 Though some funding will be rerouted to maintenance and spares for legacy 

equipment, maintaining this equipment over time will become more costly. These budget cuts 

will have a significant effect on the RC’s ability to maintain its legacy equipment which in turn 

will have a negative effect on its training and overall readiness. 

E. Plan to Achieve Full Compatibility between AC and RC 

Concurrent horizontal fielding of new equipment to the AC and RC by MARCORSYSCOM 

maintains common and interchangeable capability sets within the Total Force. This fielding 

policy complements the “mirror–imaging” and push-fulfillment sustainment policies, both of 

which significantly contribute to optimizing equipment supportability and associated unit 

operational readiness.

Management Review”, September 18, 2013.

II. Marine Corps Reserve Overview 

A. Current Status of the Marine Corps Reserve 

1. General Overview 

The RC is an integral element of the Marine Corps 

Total Force. The RC shares the deployment and 

expeditionary culture that has dominated the Marine 

Corps ethos for more than two centuries. 

Accordingly, Reserve units are organized, trained, and equipped in the same manner as their AC 

counterparts and are operationally interchangeable with them. All Marines stand ready to answer 

their Nation’s call to arms. 

Marine Reserve Forces continue to serve as a strong force multiplier of the total force, 

and are a high-payoff investment in capability. Since September 11, 2001, more than 

60,000 Marine Reservists, from all across the United States, have participated in over 

80,000 activations or mobilizations. Our Reserve Marines are uniquely well-positioned to 

seamlessly integrate with the AC, to reinforce our service priorities, and to provide a 

reservoir of capacity for future national emergencies. Our Reserve Marines are wellequipped and highly trained professionals, providing an essential shock absorber for the 

active component in the uncertain global environment.7

Marine Forces Reserve (MARFORRES) is capable of simultaneously fulfilling its role as both an 

operational and a strategic force. In the operational role, MARFORRES sources preplanned, 

rotational, and routine CCDR and Service requirements across the spectrum of military 

operations. In addition to supporting operations in Afghanistan, MARFORRES concurrently 

sources CCDR requirements, such as the Special Purpose–MAGTF Africa in support of United 

States Africa Command, the Black Sea Rotational Force in support of United States European 

Command, the Unit Deployment Program in support of United States Pacific Command, and the 

Southern Partnership Station in support of United States Southern Command. Additionally, 

MARFORRES continues to perform its strategic role with CCDR exercise involvement and 

focused readiness that coherently enables a rapid transition to operational roles in support of 

major contingency operations. 

As the RC continues to implement Force Structure Review Group (FSRG) decisions, the transfer 

and maintenance of affected equipment remains an equipping and maintenance challenge for the 

force. Similarly, as additional capabilities are developed within the RC, the requirement to 

sustain the associated equipment also increases. FSRG transitions will take several more years to 

complete and will require continued attention to ensure the most efficient fielding, sustainment, 

and transfer of equipment. 

The KC-130J has already been fielded to the AC Marine Corps, while the KC-130T will remain 

in service in the RC until beyond the year 2020, with the first RC KC-130J scheduled for 

delivery in 2014. These two aircraft are very different airframes, each having completely 

different logistical, maintenance, and aircrew requirements. The longer we maintain both 

airframes, the longer we have to invest in twice the logistics, maintenance training, and aircrew

Aircraft System (STUAS)

training. The total cost to purchase all 28 RC KC-130J aircraft is more than $2B. Currently, only 

five of the 28 airframes are programmed across the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP). 

The RQ-21A will provide the Marine Expeditionary Force and subordinate commands (divisions and 

regiments) a dedicated intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance system capable of delivering 

intelligence products directly to the tactical commander in real time. This program is still in low rate 

initial production with AC procurement beginning in FY 2014. The RC is scheduled to receive the 

RQ-21A at the end of the current fielding plan but, falls outside of the FYDP. Lack of these systems 

creates a significant capability gap between RC and AC forces. 

2. Status of Equipment 

Reserve equipment inventory levels have increased over the past three years. This increase is 

primarily due to the fielding of new equipment to meet newly established unit capabilities. As 

the capability sets in the RC adapt to fulfill new roles in support of FSRG initiatives, so must the 

equipment. With the unique geographic dispersion of our Reserve units and their limited storage 

capacity, proper accountability of equipment and validation of the T/A is essential while 

maintaining overall readiness. MARFORRES will continue to meet the Commandant’s first 

priority to provide the best trained and equipped Marine units while protecting the enduring 

health of the operational reserve. The RC has been able to ensure units augmenting and 

reinforcing the AC are as proficient as their AC counterparts. NGREA has been a vital resource 

in these efforts. 

a. Equipment On-hand 

The Marine Corps has maintained the RC’s ability to train through its use of a T/A that is not 

routinely utilized to source operational requirements. The equipment on-hand, outlined in 

Table 1, reflects the items possessed by MARFORRES units beginning in FY 2015. This onhand quantity does not reflect the (additional) equipment available to fill the delta between 

TO&E and the T/A through global sourcing to meet full wartime requirements. The majority of 

the $893M (TO&E vs. T/A) delta is not a deficiency resulting from a lack of procurement 

funding; rather, it reflects T/A utilization and prioritization of fielding to meet operational 

requirements. Therefore, the items listed in Table 8 reflect the programs that will directly 

enhance the RC’s current training allowance. 

b. Average Age of Major Items of Equipment 

Table 2 provides the average age of selected major equipment items. The average age of RC 

equipment is consistent with the age of equipment in the AC. The majority of ground combat 

systems that are at the end of their life cycle have new equipment fielding already planned or 

have programs that will extend the life cycle of that equipment through upgrades and 

modifications. 

c. Compatibility of Current Equipment with Active Component 

Although complete compatibility is difficult to achieve due to high equipment demand for force 

generation, training support, and the application of funds against higher priority requirements, 

equipment compatibility between the AC and RC is closer than ever. Most existing cases where 

compatibility is lacking are the result of fiscal constraints that have delayed the RC fielding of 
3-6 

new equipment programs. The Marine Corps continues to use NGREA funding to accelerate the 

RC fielding of new equipment programs. The positive impact of NGREA on improving Total 

Force compatibility cannot be overstated. 

d. Maintenance Issues 

With minimal full-time active duty support and limited time to train reserve maintenance 

personnel, sustainment of the RC equipment sets has been accomplished through the use of 

Contracted Logistics Support (CLS) teams. The Logistics Mobile Maintenance Team, the Small 

Arms Repair Teams, and the Corrosion Prevention and Control Team have become an integral part 

to the sustainment of RC equipment during deployment. Costs associated with these teams were 

primarily funded through the use of supplemental funding associated with the repair of RC predeployment training equipment and weapons that were deployed in support of overseas 

contingency operations. As the force transitions back to its organic maintenance requirements, 

units must be able to perform required maintenance and operate within the limits of their Operation 

and Maintenance (O&M) funding. With supplemental funding and plus-ups coming to an end in 

FY 2014 and a reduction of funding across the DoD, funding for CLS will no longer be available. 

This may cause a downgrade in equipment readiness until maintenance facilities adjust schedules 

back to their pre-deployment levels. 

e. Modernization Programs and Shortfalls 

The Marine Corps modernization programs are designed to keep pace with the changing 

character of current and future operations. The RC uses various funding sources to execute these 

programs and fill equipment shortfalls. 

 Training and Simulators: Marine Forces Reserve strives to incorporate the latest 

technological innovations to create cost-effective training and education opportunities for 

Reserve Marines, increasing their ability to perform at the same level as their AC 

counterparts. Utilizing FY 2011 through FY 2013 NGREA funding, the RC has been able 

to (or is programmed to) procure nearly $102M worth of aircraft Flight Training Devices 

(FTDs). The addition of these FTDs and their linkage via the Aviation Virtual Training 

Environment will allow aircrews to conduct more sorties via the simulator/training device 

and train with other units and aircrews as a way to reduce costs in a resource-constrained 

environment. The Marine Corps continues to evaluate new training and simulation 

technologies to identify cost-effective training options. 

 Combat Equipment Modernization: The Marine Corps’ various combat equipment 

modernization programs are providing the RC with the latest generation of warfighting 

capabilities. These programs include: the Generation IV Abrams Ammo Racks and Tank 

Suspension upgrades, and the development of survivability upgrades to the Light 

Armored Vehicle (LAV). NGREA funding accounted for nearly $20M in tank upgrades 

and nearly $18M in LAV upgrades. The majority of the Marine Corps’ combat 

equipment modernization programs are already in the fielding phase or within the final 

phase of acquisition. 

 Aviation Modernization: The RC is also included in the Marine Corps Aviation Plan. 

During the current FYDP, Reserve squadrons will begin the transition from the KC-130T 
3-7 

to the KC-130J, from the CH-46E to the MV-22B, and from the UH-1N to the UH-1Y, 

subject to available resources. The RC has historically utilized NGREA funding to 

procure aircraft and provide upgraded capabilities to existing aircraft where applicable. 

 Command and Control (C2) Modernization: C2 modernization remains a top priority for 

the Marine Corps Reserve. Continued investment in current and emergent command, 

control, communications, and computer systems (C4) related programs and infrastructure 

will enable the Marine Corps Reserve to sustain its high level of operational readiness in 

support of global mission requirements. Additional funding applied to programs, such as 

the Expeditionary Command and Control Suite and the Data Distribution System 

Module, will accelerate the fielding of these critical tactical communications systems. 

Furthermore, the procurement and integration of information technology upgrades will 

further complement and enhance the Marine Corps' Next Generation Enterprise Network 

architecture and infrastructure, enabling greater garrison C2 through improved network 

performance and data reliability. 

f. Overall Equipment Readiness 

Equipment readiness of RC units remains consistent with AC reporting levels. The RC continues 

to effectively maintain its T/A in a high state of operational readiness. 

B. Changes since the Last NGRER 

The impact of Sequestration on both ground and aviation equipment presents additional 

challenges for the RC. Budget cuts will adversely affect the RC’s ability to perform preventive 

maintenance and limited technical inspections. Due to geographic dispersion of units, lack of 

maintenance funding has the potential to downgrade overall force readiness. 

C. Future Years Program (FY 2015–FY 2017) 

1. FY 2017 Equipment Requirements 

The Marine Corps develops a Total Force AAO for the Service that is planned and programmed. 

In most cases, the decision of where to distribute purchased equipment (for both the AC and RC) 

does not occur until after the equipment is procured. This allows the Marine Corps flexibility in 

determining fielding priorities that impact training and combat operations. The RC competes 

equally with the AC for fielding decisions. 

2. Anticipated New Equipment Procurements 

a. MV-22B Osprey 

The MV-22 is a multipurpose, tilt-rotor, vertical and/or short takeoff and landing aircraft 

developed to replace the current fleet of CH-46E helicopters. This aircraft has the capability to 

participate in amphibious and land assault operations, provide medium cargo lift, and perform 

aircraft and personnel recovery. The MV-22 is capable of carrying 24 combat-equipped Marines 

or a 10,000 pound internal load and has a 2,100 nautical mile range with a single aerial refueling. 

Under the current Marine Corps Aviation Plan, the RC began its transition to the MV-22 in 

FY 2013 with a completion date slated for the fourth quarter of FY 2018. Marine Medium 

Helicopter Squadron 764 (HMM-764) began its transition in the third quarter of FY 2013 with 
3-8 

HMM-774 scheduled to begin its transition in the third quarter of FY 2016. The RC MV-22B 

transition schedule is an important goal for the Marine Corps. 

b. KC-130J Super Hercules 

The KC-130J is a multi-role, multi-mission tactical tanker/transport aircraft developed to replace 

the KC-130F/R/T models. The KC-130J has increased range and speed, lower cost per flight 

hour, better fuel efficiency, improved reliability, and better maintainability. The AC completed 

the KC-130J transition in FY 2009, leaving 28 RC KC-130T aircraft yet to begin transition to the 

KC-130J. Current policies prohibit the employment of the legacy aircraft in Operation Enduring 

Freedom. Budget challenges, resulting from competing Aviation Procurement Navy 

appropriation priorities within the Navy and Marine Corps, have resulted in a delay of five years 

in the fielding of the KC-130J to the RC. Fielding is scheduled to begin with five aircraft being 

delivered to the RC starting in FY 2014. Five aircraft are programmed in the current FYDP and 

13 total aircraft between now and 2020. Compatibility differences between the KC-130J and 

KC-130T are creating significant challenges in training, manning, and logistical support of the 

KC-130T. Accelerating the RC transition to the KC-130J is a priority for the Marine Corps 

Reserve. It is also the most expensive Reserve equipment shortfall, costing $2B. 

c. UH-1Y Venom 

The UH-1Y is a multi-role, multi-mission, utility helicopter developed to replace the UH-1N. 

The UH-1Y utility helicopter is fully capable of shipboard operations worldwide, including takeoff, landing, refueling and rearming. Its mission capabilities include airborne command and 

control, aeromedical evacuation, troop transport, and search and rescue. Marine Light Attack 

Helicopter Squadron 773 will receive its first UH-1Y aircraft in the third quarter of FY 2014 and 

will complete its transition in the second quarter of FY 2015. 

d. RQ-21A Blackjack 

The RQ-21A Blackjack is a multi-role, multi-mission, unmanned aircraft system (UAS) that is 

employed primarily as an intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and target acquisition asset. 

Each system consists of five air vehicles, two ground control stations, one launcher, one recovery 

system, and associated support equipment. The expeditionary nature of the RQ-21A makes it 

possible to deploy a multi-intelligence capable UAS with minimal footprint, ideal for 

amphibious, humanitarian and/or combat operations. 

3. Anticipated New Equipment Requirements 

a. Ground/Air Radar Systems 

A highly mobile multi-mission radar system designed to fully support worldwide expeditionary 

requirements is needed to replace legacy radar systems. An advanced radar system is required to 

provide a multi-faceted detection and tracking capability to enable engagements of a wide range 

of hostile threats. Currently in the engineering and development phase, AN/TPS-80 Ground/Air 

Task Oriented Radar (G/ATOR) system offers a robust air traffic control capability to ensure the 

safety of Marines worldwide. Operational capabilities enhanced by proven Active Electronically 

Scanned Array radar technology give the AN/TPS-80 G/ATOR system the ability to perform 

multi-mission tasks at significantly lower O&M costs compared to existing radar systems. In 

addition to providing a broad range of optimized radar capabilities, AN/TPS-80 G/ATOR 
3-9 

provides automatic adaptability via scalable open system architecture. G/ATOR's multi-network 

capability ensures compatibility with additional DoD command and control systems. 

b. Multi-mission, Medium-altitude, Long-endurance Unmanned Aircraft System 

The Marine Corps Tactical UAS (MCTUAS) requirements are currently being supported by the 

RQ-7B Shadow. In accordance with the Commandant's Aviation Plan, the RQ-7B is scheduled 

for replacement at some point beyond the FYDP. The future MCTUAS platform will incorporate 

increased cruise time, wide-range sensors, multi-mode communications suite, and precision 

weapons. Acquisition and fielding of a large group UAS will further enable the Marine Corps to 

accomplish the following missions in support of the MAGTF: intelligence, surveillance, 

reconnaissance, electronic warfare, close air support, combat search and rescue, precision strike, 

buddy-laser, convoy/raid overwatch, route clearance, target development, and terminal air 

guidance. 

c. Amphibious Combat Vehicle 

The Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) is a program providing advanced generation fully 

amphibious, armored lift capability to the Marine Air Ground Task Force. ACV supports ship-toobjective maneuvers by providing the capability to self-deploy from amphibious ships. A 

seamless transition between sea and land enables the seizure of beach landing zones where 

conditions preclude other types of entry, and facilitates rapid build-up of combat power ashore 

before an enemy can react. The Marine Corps needs the ACV to achieve an over-the-horizon, 

joint forcible-entry capability that aligns with future amphibious concepts of operation. The 

ACV acquisition strategy is in development and subject to Marine Corps decision regarding 

required capabilities. 

4. Anticipated Transfers from AC to RC 

One KC-130J aircraft is scheduled to be transferred from the AC to the RC in FY 2014 and two 

in FY 2015 to initiate the transition plan from the KC-130T. Eight MV-22B aircraft are 

scheduled to be transferred from the AC to the RC in FY 2014, four in FY 2015 and 12 in 

FY 2016 to initiate the transition plan from the CH-46E. Four AH-1W aircraft are scheduled to 

be transferred from the AC to the RC in FY 2014 and two in FY 2015 to backfill previous 

foreign military sales and preapproved OEF support requirements. 

5. Anticipated Withdrawals from RC Inventory 

Three AH-1W aircraft were removed from the RC inventory for foreign military sales in 

FY 2012. These aircraft will be replaced starting in FY 2014, in synchronization with the AC 

AH-1Z fielding. 

6. Equipment Shortages and Modernization Shortfalls at the End of FY 2017 

The RC wartime requirements are addressed in Table 1, which delineates the major item 

shortfalls that are anticipated to exist at the end of FY 2017. Table 8 presents the RC’s highest 

priority unfunded equipment and modernization shortfalls affecting Reserve unit training 

allowances. 
3-10 

D. Summary 

The Marine Corps is improving its Total Force integration and expeditionary capability. The RC 

is an operationally effective force, capable of augmenting, reinforcing, and sustaining the AC. 

While there are challenges before us, such as modernizing the RC with KC-130Js, quickly 

fielding new ground combat equipment, and developing technologies that allow better 

communication and logistics support, the Marine Corps Total Force stands ready to protect and 

defend our Nation. The successful completion of our force structure review, concurrent with the 

above activities, will enable the RC to possess the assets to accomplish its mission to augment 

and reinforce the AC. The Marine Corps’ Total Force fielding concept provides the latest 

generation of combat equipment at the same rate provided to the AC and takes care of our 

greatest asset—the outstanding men and women who wear the Marine Corps uniform.

Note: The above table reflects estimated on-hand quantities against the full wartime requirement. USMC equipping strategy is that the RC maintains on-hand a Training 

Allowance only. The Training Allowance is the portion of the wartime requirement necessary to conduct home station training. USMC operating concepts rely on global 

sourcing and pre-positioned assets for combat. When activated, the USMC plans on RC units falling in on either pre-positioned equipment or assets already in theater from 

previous rotations.

decommissioning (-). Transferred equipment is commonly called "cascaded equipment," or equipment that is

provided to the RC once the AC receives more modern equipment. Although this table highlights a three-year

period, many Services will not know exact quantities of transfers or withdrawals until year of execution, due to

the uncertainty of the procurement/delivery cycle of new equipment.

Chapter 4

United States Navy Reserve 

I. Navy Overview 

A. Navy Planning Guidance 

All Navy Reserve plans and policies are fully aligned with the Chief of Naval Operations’ 

(CNO’s) strategic priorities. The CNO’s intent to continue to operate forward with ready forces 

is directed and informed by the national Defense Strategic Guidance: 

Our first responsibility is to ensure Navy is able to deliver the overseas presence and 

capabilities required by our Defense Strategic Guidance (DSG) Sustaining U.S. Global 

Leadership: Priorities for 21st Century Defense, as manifested in the GFMAP [Global 

Force Management Allocation Plan]. Our mandate per the DSG is to be present overseas 

where it matters, and to be ready when it matters. A central element of the DSG to Navy 

is to field a ready force, with the right capabilities, postured in each region. The DSG 

concludes that a prompt, credible response by forward U.S. forces can demonstrate 

American resolve and can blunt the initial actions of an aggressor. This can in turn deter, 

assure, and—if necessary—control escalation, contain the conflict, and prevent it from 

growing into a larger war. Our fundamental approach to making decisions and 

implementing the DSG is unchanged since I assumed the office of the Chief of Naval 

Operations. We organize, man, train, and equip the Navy by viewing our decisions 

through three lenses, or tenets. They are: Warfighting First, Operate Forward, and Be 

Ready. Regardless of the size of our budget or our fleet, these tenets are the key 

considerations we apply to each decision.1

The Navy Reserve, in turn, aligns its equipping plans and policies with CNO’s tenets. Whether 

purchasing equipment for combat and combat support (“Warfighting First”), deployed operations 

(“Operate Forward”), or mobilization training (“Be Ready”), our priorities are aligned with the 

Total Force concept. Being aligned as one Navy allows for maximum purchasing efficiency and 

reduced redundancy. 

The CNO’s Navigation Plan 2014–2018 guides and informs both Active Component (AC) and 

Reserve Component (RC) budget submissions. The Navigation Plan states that “Future 

reductions to Navy’s budget will impact our ability to maintain the overall size of our fleet, but 

we will ensure the force we deploy is proficient and ready.” 

As part of the budget process, the AC/RC force structure ratio is continuously analyzed to 

maintain the force size necessary to meet combatant commander requirements. As part of these 

calculations, Reserve forces are expected to be prepared to deploy in an operational role when 

called upon, and not remain in a purely strategic reserve posture.

 CNO before the Senate Subcommittee on Defense Committee on Appropriations on FY 2014 Department of the 

Navy Posture, April 2013. 
4-2 

The CNO’s Navigation Plan further states “Budget constraints will compel Navy to put a 

premium on readiness; Navy will continue to deploy proficient and ready forces. To reduce 

costs, we will explore options to adjust the readiness of non-deployed forces.” 

A proven, cost-effective way of reducing risk in a period of decreased AC force readiness is to 

maintain a ready, robust RC. By only paying for part-time, focused readiness training for 

Reserve forces, the cost of full-time pay and benefits is avoided. A properly trained and equipped 

Navy Reserve presents national leaders with operational and strategic options. It is a force that 

can be employed in the operational rotation, when required, while also serving as a hedge against 

risk in a strategic role. 

B. Navy Equipping Policy 

DoD Instruction 1225.06, Equipping the Reserve Forces, establishes policy that 

The Reserve Components (RCs) of each Military Department shall be equipped to 

provide the operational capabilities and strategic depth required of an operational force in 

accordance with DoD Directive 1200.17. To fulfill assigned missions, the RCs of each 

Military Department shall be consistently and predictably equipped. The RCs must have 

the right equipment, available in the right quantities, at the right time, and at the right 

place to support a “Train, Mobilize, and Deploy” construct for the Total Force. 

The Navy’s overarching equipping policy is delineated in the Office of the CNO (OPNAV) 

Instruction 4423.3 series, Equipping Reserve Forces. It states Navy Reserve units will be 

equipped to accomplish all assigned missions and have an equipment and distribution program 

that is balanced, responsive to mission requirements, and sustainable. Priorities for distribution 

of equipment should be given to units scheduled to be deployed and/or employed first. 

The Navy has established a seamless and fully integrated Total Force. The RC is a force multiplier 

that can be used periodically and predictably, providing operational support when and where it is 

needed at a cost-savings to the Navy. Within the Navy, senior leadership identifies RC requirements 

and priorities for new equipment as part of the Navy’s resource allocation process. This 

equipment is used to generate and sustain fleet readiness during at-home training and deployed 

operations and is ready to surge forward in response to a request for forces from the Navy. 

C. Plan to Fill Mobilization Shortages in the RC 

The Navy’s Total Force is an operational and organizational reality. Operational Navy missions 

are executed by the AC and its equipment, the RC and its equipment, or a combination of both. 

AC and RC Sailors also provide strategic depth for a variety of missions to ensure the Navy is 

always ready to respond globally to crisis situations while maintaining fiscal efficiency across 

the spectrum of operations. 

Major operational and contingency plans require RC units to deploy as integrated parts of the 

Navy warfighting plan. Navy component commanders identify equipment requirements during 

the resource allocation process, which the CNO then prioritizes. RC activities maintain 

equipment as either training or mobilization assets. In some instances, the RC will deploy with 

AC assets. Mobilization assets are stored at major embarkation locations in the United States as 
4-3 

war reserve materiel stock (WRMS) or pre-positioned overseas/afloat. WRMS and prepositioned equipment are distributed to both AC and RC according to operational requirements. 

D. Initiatives Affecting RC Equipment 

The Navy has initiatives to modernize, improve, or change operational capabilities of the RC. 

 Littoral Combat Ship (LCS): An important Navy RC mission is to maintain assigned 

Selected Reserve (SELRES) personnel and equipment in an optimized state of readiness and 

availability to support LCS mission requirements. The Navy has already made an impressive 

commitment to this strategic initiative through the establishment of 13 units and 400 billets 

dedicated to LCS operations and support, with a goal of 1,000 personnel in 20 units by 

FY 2019. RC LCS units are organized to provide strategic support for warfighting 

requirements as well as operational support during normal and surge operations for the LCS 

squadron staffs, seaframe core crews, and Mission Module crews. 

 C-40A Clipper: The C-40A is the Navy's designated C-9B/C-20G replacement aircraft. 

Fifteen of the 17 aircraft required to meet the Navy's "risk adjusted" inventory objective/redline requirement have been procured. This allowed the Navy to divest of the C-9B in 2014. 

The procurement of the remaining two aircraft will enable the Navy to retire the C-20G 

airframe and meet wartime air logistics obligations. Aircraft are funded through a 

combination of National Guard and Reserve Equipment Appropriation (NGREA), 

Congressional adds, and the President’s Budget request for DoD procurement funding 

depicted in Table 4-1.

 RC support to unmanned aircraft system (UAS) program: The Navy is currently developing 

cost-effective, RC-integrated manpower and equipment solutions to meet requirements 
4-4 

challenges faced by its newest generation of UAS programs, including the MQ-4C Triton 

system and the MQ-8B Fire Scout vertical takeoff and landing tactical unmanned aerial 

vehicle (VTUAV). Specifically, the periodic and predicable nature of the Triton mission is 

particularly well suited for the Navy Reserve. Effectively implemented, RC manpower and 

associated equipment procurement can significantly reduce operating costs through 

innovative solutions, such as strategic placement of Triton mission control element stations 

in high Navy Reserve and SELRES concentration areas. Fire Scout emergent mission 

requirements also lend themselves especially well to the unique advantages of the RC Sailor. 

As the Navy’s requirement for the Fire Scout system increases, Navy Reservists would be an 

ideal fit to augment AC Fleet Replacement Squadron (FRS) instructors as well as provide a 

surge capability to backfill the fleet. At the same time, significant cost-savings can be 

achieved during periods of lower utilization. 

 F/A-18A+ Hornet upgrades: The Tactical Support Wing (TSW) operates 20 F/A-18A+ 

Hornet aircraft, divided between two squadrons that provide over 25 percent of the Navy’s 

advanced adversary support requirements. These squadrons provide adversary support with 

aging aircraft that are capable of simulating most Generation 3 and some Generation 4 threat 

aircraft. As Naval Aviation prepares for the threat posed by predominantly Generation 4 and 5 

aircraft operated by many potential adversaries, Navy Reserve Hornets must be replaced or 

significantly upgraded to provide this vital training. In addition to training fleet naval 

aviators, these two squadrons are tasked to provide a critical strategic reserve capability by 

standing ready to augment deployed AC carrier air wings. Due to the aging airframes and 

parts non-commonality with F/A-18C and E/F models, these two squadrons must be 

recapitalized with F/A-18C, F/A-18E, or F-35C aircraft to provide required adversary 

support and operational relevancy in a deployed role. 

 F-5 Tiger II sustainment/upgrades: TSW also operates 32 F-5 Tiger II aircraft, apportioned 

between two squadrons. These squadrons execute 50 percent of the Navy’s total adversary 

support missions at considerably lower cost than other platforms. While this approach is 

more economical, it limits fleet readiness as these aircraft simulate Generation 3 fighter 

aircraft threats from the 1970s and early 1980s. They are unable to simulate many more 

recent threat capabilities, such as beyond-visual-range missiles, modern radars, and radar 

warning receivers. Mitigating these hardware limitations is the fact that they are primarily 

used to train FRS pilots in the basic flight maneuvering of air-to-air combat, and that they are 

flown by many of the Navy’s most experienced fighter pilots. The modernization of the F-5 

fleet remains critically important, however, since the economical F-5 fleet is expected to be in 

use through at least 2025 and is also used in the later stages of air-to-air training in 

conjunction with more advanced adversary aircraft. A small investment in the F-5’s 

capability will provide substantial training and readiness dividends for years to come. 

 EA-18G Growler: Replacement of the EA-6B Prowler aircraft with the EA-18G Growler is 

required to retain RC fleet electronic attack (EA) capability. RC EA-6Bs were retired in 

2013, coincident with the planned expiration of combatant commander expeditionary 

airborne electronic attack (AEA) requirements. However, recent mandates require an 

extension of the expeditionary AEA mission and directed transition of four EA-6B squadrons 

to the EA-18G platform by Dec 2014. This transition included the Navy Reserve’s single 
4-5 

EA-6B Prowler squadron and serves as the baseline for the Reserve EA-18G recapitalization 

plan. 

 P-3 to P-8 transition: Maritime Patrol and Reconnaissance P-3C aircraft continue to be 

affected by continuing structural fatigue across the inventory. Due to a fleet-wide shortage of 

P-3C aircraft, AC utilization of RC aircraft has become a necessity. Utilization of RC aircraft 

has been fully incorporated into AC training and readiness, forward-deployment, and P-3C 

sustainment/sundown plans. There are no plans to extend the P-3C service life (RC aircraft 

included) or maintain P-3C maintenance support capabilities beyond the P-8A full 

operational capability in FY 2019. Retaining the skills and experience of transitioning 

maritime patrol reconnaissance personnel is a strategic imperative for the Navy to provide 

surge capacity in support of major combat operations. Both RC patrol squadrons (VP) must 

be recapitalized with the P-8A aircraft. 

 C-130T: The Navy Reserve is in the process of acquiring excess Marine Corps Reserve 

C-130 aircraft to fulfill its inventory requirement and reduce aircraft utilization rates to 

extend the useful life of the current inventory. C-130T aircraft are an essential part of Navyunique fleet-essential airlift (NUFEA) requirements. They serve as the key connector 

between strategic airlift points of departure and the carrier-onboard-delivery and verticalonboard-delivery access points to the fleet. The C-130T also specializes in worldwide 

outsized cargo NUFEA airlift. 

 Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC): Baseline, Overseas Contingency 

Operations (OCO), and NGREA funding continue to fill critical equipment gaps in the 

modernization and recapitalization of the Naval Construction Force, Navy Expeditionary 

Logistics Support Group (NAVELSG), and Coastal Riverine Force (CRF). NECC RC units 

require $245M of funding across the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP) for full 

modernization and outfitting. 

E. Plan to Achieve Full Compatibility between AC and RC 

The Navy Total Force plans and programs all equipment inventories to provide the most capable 

systems to meet mission requirements and minimize the effects of equipment shortfalls and 

incompatibility throughout the fleet. The Navy must have interoperability between all elements 

of the Total Force to ensure an effective and capable team. Eliminating capability gaps between 

the RC and AC through equipment acquisition and upgrade programs will continue to remain a 

top priority for the Navy Reserve. 

The Navy reduced RC force structure to the appropriate capability and capacity required to 

sustain the operational reserve. The value and the return on investment our Sailors and 

equipment deliver to the Total Force are continually measured. Critical recapitalization is needed 

now, and budgetary uncertainty make the RC reliant upon Service budget priorities, 

Congressional adds, and NGREA for recapitalizing aging and depreciated assets. 
4-6 

II. Navy Reserve Overview 

A. Current Status of the Navy Reserve 

1. General Overview 

In January 2010, the CNO, the Chief of Naval 

Personnel, and the Chief of Navy Reserve (CNR) 

signed the Navy Total Force Vision for the 21st 

Century (NTF 21). This document clearly 

articulates the Navy’s vision for a Total Force 

and emphasizes that Active Sailors, Reserve 

Sailors, and Navy civilians are the Navy’s most important resource and the critical component to 

meeting the demands of the Maritime Strategy, A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century 

Seapower (CS-21). NTF 21 guides the Navy’s personnel policies and strategies and serves to 

codify the blended forces as an organizational fact of life and a force of choice. 

Operationally, “the Navy Reserve has never been more ready, relevant, or aligned with the 

Navy’s Active component than we are today. Currently, over 4,000 dedicated Reserve Sailors are 

mobilized around the globe in support of overseas contingency operations.”2

The Navy Reserve is fully engaged across the full spectrum of Navy, Marine Corps, and joint 

force operations, from peace to war. In 2013, a majority of Sailors who served as individual 

augmentees were sourced from the RC, to allow AC Sailors to fill critical billets at sea. In 

addition, mobilized or deployed Navy Reserve Sailors are providing approximately half of the 

Navy’s ground forces serving in the United States Central Command (USCENTCOM) area of 

responsibility (AOR) and in other critical roles worldwide. Reserve expeditionary Sailors deploy 

alongside their AC counterparts as complete units and individual augmentees. 

Mobilizations are but one form of duty performed by Navy Reserve Sailors. While executing 

mobilizations in FY 2013, the Navy Reserve continues to bring valued capabilities for urgent 

requirements and ongoing operational support. 

An example that epitomizes the strength and flexibility of the Navy Reserve and 

demonstrates our unique ability to “be ready” to serve the Nation and complement the 

Navy Total Force is the Reserve Component’s response to Super Storm Sandy. Within 

hours of the storm’s landfall, 26 RC Navy Emergency Preparedness Liaison Officers 

(NEPLOs) were deployed to federal, state, and local government agencies throughout the 

Northeast. NEPLOs provide support to Regional Operations Centers and various 

Maritime Operations Centers across the country during natural and man-made disasters, 

certain Presidential events, and regional emergency preparedness exercises. NEPLOs 

were embedded in all the affected states and Navy Regions affected by Sandy. They 

coordinated efforts to provide support to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, 

which requested assets and capabilities resident only in the military. As soon as the storm 

abated, RC aircrew from HM-14 flew four MH-53 helicopters from USS Wasp to ferry 

first responders, vital equipment, and supplies to areas inaccessible by vehicle. In another

mission, Navy Reserve C-9Bs were called to move 110 Seabees and 6,600 lbs. of cargo 

from Port Hueneme, CA to McGuire Air Force Base on short notice. A separate C-9B 

crew transported a P-3 Mobile Operations Control Center from San Diego, CA to Naval 

Air Station Jacksonville in support of U.S. Fleet Forces Command efforts to survey 

coastal damage. Navy Reserve Chaplains assigned to the USCG [United States Coast 

Guard] also participated in the USCG’s response to Sandy. The NEPLO mission is 

exclusive to the Navy Reserve Component and these flexible and responsive operations 

exemplified our Navy Reserve motto: “Ready now. Anytime, Anywhere.”3

Every day, Navy Reserve Sailors provide important operational support to the Navy. 

Approximately one-quarter of these Sailors are on full-time active duty (full-time support [FTS], 

mobilizations, deployments, active duty operational support [ADOS], etc.), while many others 

provide their expertise on a “part-time” basis (inactive duty training [IDT], annual training [AT], 

active duty for training [ADT], etc.). Some examples include SELRES Sailors providing critical 

maintenance support to ships both in the United States and forward deployed; the skilled 

engineers and technicians in the Naval Sea Systems Command executing shipyard projects; the 

FTS and SELRES aviators serving as instructors for 20 percent of the training sorties flown in 

the aviation training command; and the intelligence community providing key global intelligence 

support. Ideally suited to take on periodic and predictable work, this ready and accessible force 

of skilled Sailors provides valued capabilities on an ongoing basis. Furthermore, in the case of 

SELRES Sailors, when their work is done, they return to their civilian careers and leave the 

Navy payroll. Navy Reserve Sailors are both a highly-skilled and cost-effective workforce. 

NGREA is utilized, as available, to meet the needs of the Navy. NGREA has been a high-impact 

capital infusion for the Navy Reserve since its inception in 1981, but has taken on added 

importance in recent years. The appropriation has enabled critical RC equipment recapitalization 

affecting Aviation, Surface, and deploying expeditionary Sailors. 

a. Fleet Air Logistics 

The RC provides 100 percent of the Navy’s organic, global 

airlift capability for fleet and combatant commands 

(COCOMs). The Fleet Logistics Support Wing (FLSW) 

consists of 12 squadrons operating C-40A, C-9B, C-20A/ 

D/G, C-37A/B, and C-130T aircraft. C-9B aircraft average 

35 years in age and require substantial avionics upgrades and 

engine replacement to meet globally-mandated noiseabatement and navigation requirements. Significant airlift recapitalization was initiated in 

FY 1997 when $120M of NGREA funding was provided to procure the first two C-40A aircraft, 

beginning the replacement of the C-9B fleet. Thirteen more C-40As were procured between 

FY 1998 and FY 2013, utilizing funding through NGREA, Congressional adds, and the 

President’s Budget. To date, 12 C-40As have been accepted and are being operated by VR-56 

(Naval Air Station [NAS] Oceana, Virginia), VR-57 (NAS North Island, California), VR-58 

(NAS Jacksonville, Florida), and VR-59 (NAS Joint Reserve Base [JRB], Fort Worth, Texas).

4-8 

VR-61 (NAS Whidbey Island, Washington), the last C-9B squadron, is scheduled to transition to 

the C-40A in FY 2015. 

FLSW C-130T squadrons are eagerly anticipating the transfer of five KC-130T aircraft from the 

Marine Corps Reserve during their transition to the KC-130J. The current FLSW C-130T fleet, 

and potential additions, are compliant past 2014 with Communication, Navigation, Surveillance 

(CNS)/Air Traffic Management (ATM) requirements. However, the aircraft are limited to certain 

flight altitudes due to the lack of a certified Global Positioning System (GPS) and enhanced 

altitude reporting capability, and continue to face financial shortages that threaten future 

compliance. Completing an Avionics Obsolescence Upgrade (AOU) on the current Navy C-130 

fleet will be required to modernize flight instruments. The AOU modification provides full 

compliance with CNS/ATM and safety mandates through an integrated open architecture 

avionics system. Additionally, it replaces several aging avionics systems that are becoming 

obsolete and degrading aircraft readiness. Because of its versatile capability, the C-130T remains 

the most requested airlift asset in the Navy Reserve. Its ability to deliver outsized or special 

handling cargo to nearly any location worldwide remains a critical capability for Fleet and 

COCOMs. 

b. Tactical Aviation 

The TSW provides a strategic reserve for the Navy’s 10 carrier air wings, and also provides 

adversary training and homeland defense operations. The TSW is comprised of five squadrons: 

one E/A-18G, two F/A-18A+, and two F-5 F/N. 

The EA-18G squadron, VAQ-209, flew the EA-6B until FY 2013, 

supporting joint airborne electronic warfare requirements in 

Afghanistan while supplementing Fleet Replacement Squadron 

aircrew training requirements at home. The Navy is currently 

recapitalizing the RC E/A-6B Prowlers with five E/A-18G aircraft in 

conjunction with relocating the squadron from Joint Base Andrews, 

Maryland to NAS Whidbey Island, WA to provide additional 

operational, logistic, and fiscal benefits through collocation with the Navy’s Electronic Attack 

community. The squadron will be designated “Safe for Flight” in early 2014 and “Ready for 

Tasking” in 2015. The transition is needed to mitigate the Navy’s AEA capacity and capability 

gap in the future. Without the RC E/A-18G transition, the Navy will lose a critical operational 

and strategic reserve AEA capability. These aircraft will ensure COCOM requirements are 

supported with the ability to maintain the composition of an air wing with the transformational 

capability for suppression of enemy air defenses, integrated air/ground attack, and OCO 

missions. 

The Navy is seeking to recapitalize the F/A-18A+ RC Hornet squadrons with F/A-18E and F-35C 

Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) aircraft. The F/A-18E and JSF will provide sustainable platforms to 

meet the Navy’s vision of future warfare capabilities as discussed in the Sea Power 21 guiding 

principles. As the Navy tactical aircraft fleet shrinks and ages, there is a significant dependence on 

the remaining RC F/A-18A+ aircraft, which comprise more than 25 percent of the Navy’s total 

adversary capability and 52 percent of the radar-capable adversary sortie requirement.

The RC currently provides eight percent of the Navy’s usable maritime patrol aircraft providing 

antisubmarine warfare (ASW) surge capacity, counter-illicit trafficking operations, humanitarian 

assistance/disaster relief support, increased homeland defense contingency options, and fleet and 

NATO exercise support. The RC operates two P-3C squadrons, composed of six antisurface 

warfare improvement program (AIP) and six block modification upgrade program (BMUP) 

aircraft. The AIP variant augments the AC P-3 inventory shortfall and is capable of intelligence, 

surveillance, and reconnaissance collection. The BMUP variant augments an AC P-3 inventory 

shortfall in ASW. The two RC MPRA squadrons report directly to AC Patrol and 

Reconnaissance Wings under the guidance of Commander, Patrol and Reconnaissance Group. 

RC squadrons support the CNO’s Fleet Response Plan (FRP) by continuously providing six 

combat-ready aircrews for worldwide surge. 

Increased COCOM demand, grounding notifications issued through airframe bulletins, and 

increased readiness requirements have resulted in a fleet-wide shortage of P-3C aircraft and the 

corresponding incorporation of RC aircraft into AC training and readiness, forward-deployment, 

and P-3C sustainment/sundown plans. Twelve AC squadrons began transition to the P-8A in 

FY 2012 with full operational capability to be achieved in FY 2019. In response to a Global 

Force Management reduction associated with the AC P-8A transition, the RC is providing three 

combat aircrews for each of four six-month deployments, thereby ensuring the maritime patrol 

and reconnaissance force maintains its ability to satisfy COCOM requirements. In addition to 

these deployments, the RC is slated to assume the Littoral Surveillance Radar System (LSRS) 

mission, thereby allowing the AC to complete its transition while awaiting full operational 

capability of the P-8A’s LSRS-replacement system. The Navy is currently exploring plans to 

replace the 12 RC P-3Cs with seven P-8As. The recapitalization of both RC VP patrol squadrons 

is necessary if the RC is to retain its ability to recapture maritime patrol and reconnaissance 

experience/investment and provide surge capacity in support of major combat operations. 

d. Rotary-Wing Aviation 

The RC currently provides five helicopter squadrons to the Navy’s rotary-wing fleet that are 

operationally integrated into the AC wings for routine tasking and surge support. The squadrons 

perform a variety of critical missions, including dedicated rotary-wing special operations forces 

(SOF) support, search and rescue, logistics support, ASW, airborne mine countermeasures (AMCM), 

and counter-illicit trafficking operations. HSC-84 and HSC-85 operate the HH-60H, and provide 

the Navy’s only dedicated Naval Special Warfare support. HSL-60 provides dedicated fleet 

support and the only Navy night airborne use of force capability for counter-drug operations. 

HSL-60 will begin its transition from the SH-60B to the 

MH-60R during FY 2015. Additionally, the RC is 

responsible for personnel and equipment (seven MH-53E 

helicopters) in support of two composite AC/RC AMCM 

squadrons (HM-14 and HM-15), which comprise 

37 percent of the Navy’s total AMCM capability. 

Personnel from HSC-84 (NAS Norfolk, Virginia) have been partially mobilized and deployed in 

support of OCO, supporting special operations ground force missions in urban and rural areas, 

psychological operations, and medical and casualty evacuations in the USCENTCOM AOR. 
4-10 

HSC-85 (NAS North Island, California) has participated in several overseas SOF training 

detachments and is deploying to Guam in support of a United States Special Operations 

Command request for forces. Both squadrons provide over 25 percent of the helicopter support 

to special operations, making them vital to the success of the Nation’s SOF. HSL-60 (Naval 

Station Mayport, Florida) is tasked with fleet support and counter-illicit trafficking operations, 

deploying six-months per year in the United States Southern Command (USSOUTHCOM) AOR. 

Additionally, this squadron provided the first Navy Reserve air detachment to deploy with 

MQ-8B Fire Scout VTUAVs onboard the USS Simpson (FFG-56) in support of special 

operations. 

e. Coastal Riverine Force (CRF) 

In FY 2013, mergers of the Riverine Force and the 

Maritime Expeditionary Security Force to form the 

CRF were completed for all squadrons. The 

combined force is organized into three AC squadrons 

of four companies each and four RC squadrons of 

three companies each. The scalable CRF units 

protect critical maritime infrastructure, embark in 

military and strategic sealift vessels, and escort fleet 

units operating in and around foreign ports worldwide. The CRF is composed of 5,093 personnel, 

of which 2,608 are RC. 

The most critical needs for Navy Reserve CRF continue to be acquisition of MK VI Patrol Boats 

and Riverine Command Boats for each squadron. Additional funding is also required for the 

Mobile Ashore Support Terminal (MAST), Radar Sonar Surveillance Center (RSSC), and 

electrical generators. CRF has a projected total shortfall of $200.6M across the FYDP. 

f. Naval Construction Force (NCF) 

NCF provides a wide range of construction capability in support of Navy 

and Joint Forces including building roads, bridges, airfields, operations 

bases, and civic projects for partner nations. 

As a result of force structure reductions to be completed by FY 2015, the 

Navy Reserve component of NCF will consist of three Naval Construction 

Regiments and six Naval Mobile Construction Battalions. The resulting 

force maintains capacity for contingencies and operational-plan 

requirements worldwide as well as preserving critical peacetime and wartime construction skills. 

By 2015, the NCF will consist of 11,526 personnel, including 5,875 Reserve Sailors. 

g. Navy Expeditionary Logistics Support Group (NAVELSG) 

NAVELSG delivers worldwide expeditionary logistics and is manned with AC and RC 

personnel. Missions include port and air terminal cargo handling, fuels distribution, ordnance 

reporting and handling, and customs and postal operations. 

NGREA recently funded a full-size training crane system at Cheatham Annex, Virginia, enabling 

3,000 Navy Reservists to achieve mission readiness in a risk-free environment. To add the same 
4-11 

level of training capability for NAVELSG air cargo company Sailors, an aircraft loading 

simulator for C-5 and C-17 platforms is planned. 

NAVELSG is 90 percent manned by Reserve Sailors, comprising 

one AC and six RC Navy Cargo Handling Battalions. The total 

force is 3,046 personnel, of which 2,754 are Navy Reserve Sailors. 

NAVELSG’s consolidated Table of Allowance (TOA) requires 

additional construction equipment, tactical vehicles and shipping 

containers, totaling $24.7M across the FYDP. 

h. Expeditionary Combat Camera (EXPCOMBATCAM) Atlantic 

EXPCOMBATCAM provides video and still documentation 

teams for combat operations, joint exercises, and contingency 

operations throughout the joint force. EXPCOMBATCAM is 

a Navy Reserve visual information acquisition unit providing 

aerial and surface visual documentation and includes the only 

Navy subsurface documentation capability. 

i. Navy Expeditionary Intelligence Command (NEIC) 

NEIC delivers maritime expeditionary intelligence experts that 

respond to rapidly evolving irregular warfare requirements. 

Functional area capabilities provided by NEIC include tactical 

ground/maritime human intelligence, intelligence exploitation, 

expeditionary intelligence analysis, and tactical electronic 

warfare/information operations. With unique access to areas 

normally inaccessible to more traditional intelligence assets, 

NEIC gives expeditionary forces and joint forces timely, 

actionable intelligence not otherwise available. NEIC is comprised of 258 personnel, of which 77 

are Reserve. 

j. Surface Warfare Enterprise 

The Surface Warfare Enterprise is supported by more than 

2,000 surface Navy Reserve billets across 86 RC units and 

detachments. The RC personnel in these billets support the 

following major surface and amphibious warfare areas: LCS, 

Ballistic Missile Defense, surface readiness detachments, 

naval beach group, assault craft units, beachmaster units, 

amphibious construction battalions, Tactical Air Control, and 

Afloat Culture Workshops. Additionally, RC Sailors provide 

critical operational support to surface deployments in the USCENTCOM, United States Africa 

Command, USSOUTHCOM, and United States Pacific Command AORs. 

The LCS is designed to provide warfighting capabilities and operational flexibility that 

contribute to maritime dominance and provide improved access for the joint force. LCS employs 

manned and unmanned vehicles and other systems to accomplish the primary missions of littoral 
4-12 

antisubmarine warfare, mine countermeasures, and surface warfare. The Navy Reserve LCS 

mission is to maintain assigned SELRES personnel and equipment in an optimized state of 

readiness and availability to support LCS mission requirements. Navy has already made an 

impressive commitment to this strategic initiative through the establishment of 13 units and 

400 billets dedicated to LCS operations and support, with a goal of 1,000 personnel in 20 units by 

FY 2019. RC LCS units are organized to provide strategic support for warfighting requirements 

as well as operational support during normal and surge operations. It is anticipated that the 

20 LCS units will provide 30,000 man-days of support per year, augmenting manpower for the 

LCS squadron staffs, seaframe maintenance, shipboard antiterrorism/force protection watches 

and Mission Module support. Maintenance is the chief focus area of the RC effort, constituting 

approximately 60 percent of the overall RC contribution to the LCS Program. 

In support of the beach group mission, Navy Reserve owns and operates ten Maritime 

Prepositioning Force Utility Boats (MPFUBs) at five Navy operational support centers. Assault 

Craft Unit One and Two Reserve detachments use the MPFUBs to train to conduct assault 

follow-on echelon offload missions, provide necessary relief for AC crews as required, and cover 

homeport requirements for deployed units. 

k. Naval Special Warfare (NSW) 

Naval Special Warfare Group Eleven (NSWG-11) is the immediate superior in command for two 

Reserve sea-air-land (SEAL) teams, with 15 RC operational support units and 15 regional NSW 

detachments, comprising 1,007 AC and RC billets. In addition to its role as NSW RC force 

commander, NSWG-11 functions as the Operational Support Office for the NSW RC force. At 

any given time, one-third of NSW RC personnel are providing seamlessly integrated operational 

support to NSW and joint SOF units around the world. 

The NSW RC is a highly flexible force that provides key strategic capability to the NSW total 

force. In addition, Reserve SEAL, special warfare combatant-craft crewmen (SWCC), and 

combat support personnel have continued to fulfill NSW AC operational requirements at an 

extraordinarily high operational tempo. Nearly every RC SEAL and SWCC has been mobilized, 

and the majority of NSW RC personnel volunteer for additional active duty during their dwell time. 

The globalization of the special operations enterprise has seen increased 

demands on NSW RC personnel and equipment as forces are employed 

worldwide. Additionally, mission sets traditionally residing within the 

AC (e.g., counter narcotics, interagency operations) are increasingly 

being sourced to NSW Reserve units, freeing AC units to meet 

increasing demand for SOF while taking advantage of the unique 

civilian and military skill sets within NSW RC. 

Since the NSW RC force became operational in FY 2008, it has 

relied heavily on NSW AC units to provide equipment for both 

training and deployment. This results in shortages in equipment for 

training and employment. There continues to be increasing demand 

placed upon the NSW RC, leading to manning, training, and 

equipping challenges. NGREA funding has been effective in 
4-13 

mitigating critical shortages in NSW RC equipment requirements, purchasing key items such as 

body armor, weapons, and visual augmentation systems. 

l. Military Sealift Command (MSC) 

MSC is the transportation provider for the Department of Defense with the responsibility of 

providing worldwide strategic sealift and ocean transportation for all military forces. MSC is 

represented by five geographic area commands (Atlantic, Pacific, Europe, Middle East, and Far 

East), which exercise tactical control of all assigned United States Transportation Command 

forces and MSC forces not otherwise assigned to the numbered fleet commanders. 

Nearly 900 Reserve Sailors are assigned to 40 MSC units worldwide. When mobilized, they take 

charge of establishing MSC port offices to assist with sealift operations where and when needed. 

Navy Reserve cargo afloat rig teams, or CARTs, are utilized to augment civil service mariners 

aboard combat logistics force ships, which transfer food, fuel, ammunition, and other critical 

supplies to combatant ships at sea. CARTs are composed of Reserve Sailors highly trained in 

underway replenishment operations for both connected and vertical replenishments. 

The most critical need for MSC Reservists is joint task force expeditionary port opening 

equipment, which has a shortfall of $3.1M. 

m. Submarine Force (Undersea Warfare) 

The Navy Reserve submarine force is supported by more than 2,000 Reserve billets across 

numerous units and detachments. The Submarine Force Reserve Component mission is to 

provide trained, ready, and cost-effective personnel to the submarine force in carrying out the 

maritime strategy. 

The mission of strategic deterrence by ballistic missile submarines is supported by RC personnel 

contributions to the Trident Refit Facility and Naval Submarine Support Units across the fleet. 

Reservists also provide critical operational support to the guided-missile submarine (SSGN) fleet 

with on-site support for SSGN voyage repairs conducted in Diego Garcia and Guam. 

Additionally, Reserve Sailors are assigned to four submarine force protection detachments, 

providing direct in-port support of deployed submarines around the world. 

n. Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR) 

As the Navy’s Information Dominance systems command, SPAWAR develops, delivers, and 

sustains communications and information capabilities for warfighters, keeping them connected 

around the world, on land, at sea, and in flight. With a space support activity, two system centers, 

and through partnerships with three program executive offices, SPAWAR provides the hardware 

and software needed to execute Navy missions. SPAWAR is at the forefront of research, 

engineering, and acquisition to provide and sustain fleet capabilities. 

o. Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED) 

RC Navy Expeditionary Medical Training Institute provides tiered readiness training for 

Expeditionary Medical Facility (EMF) platforms and Marine Forces Reserve to support level 1 

and level 2 dental care in operational and exercise environments. BUMED has identified a need 

to maintain four RC EMF operational platforms. Each of these platforms requires ongoing 
4-14 

training to maintain currency and qualifications for deployment. Dental equipment, x-ray and 

ultrasound systems, and various other items are required with a shortage of $680K across the FYDP. 

p. Navy Reserve Public Affairs Officers 

Public affairs officers and mass communication specialists support the Chief of Navy 

Information (CHINFO) in execution of Department of the Navy (DON) public affairs. The 

CHINFO/DON public affairs mission is to provide strategic counsel, contribute to operational 

planning, and execute communication activities in support of national objectives, joint combat 

operations, and the Navy missions. The Navy Reserve public affairs cadre consists of 

240 officers and 270 enlisted who support Navy, joint, and expeditionary command mobilization 

requirements worldwide. Deployable media kits are required to maximize capability and 

standardize equipment within the public affairs community at a cost of $1.4M across the FYDP. 

2. Status of Equipment 

a. Equipment On-hand 

Table 1 provides projected RC major equipment requirements and on-hand inventories to meet 

assigned missions. 

b. Average Age of Major Equipment Items 

The Navy Reserve maintains and operates equipment requiring replacement and modernization. 

Table 2 provides the average age of major equipment. Of particular concern are P-3C aircraft 

(29 years old). These aircraft all operate at a significantly higher cost, produce lower ready-fortasking rates, and provide lesser capability than their projected replacement platforms. 

c. Compatibility of Current Equipment with the AC 

Achieving equipment compatibility with the AC is one of the Navy Reserve’s top priorities. 

Procurement and upgrade programs, as well as Congressional adds, have improved RC 

equipment capability and compatibility. For the NCF, NAVELSG, and especially CRF units, the 

ability to fully fund equipment requirements remains a challenge. Since 2003, significant funding 

increases from Congressional adds and NGREA have helped these units reduce shortfalls. 

d. Maintenance Issues 

Navy Reserve equipment maintenance is a top priority. Without properly maintained equipment, 

RC hardware units are unable to train and deploy mission-ready Reservists. Accordingly, 

sufficient funds are programmed to sustain the materiel readiness and capability of RC unit 

equipment. As a result of this emphasis on ready assets, RC equipment readiness remains above 

minimum CNO-directed levels. This level of readiness has proven acceptable, as the Navy 

Reserve has been ready and fully integrated into the Navy’s worldwide missions; however, the 

accelerated service-life expenditure of these assets from OCO require increased levels of 

operation and maintenance funding. Additionally, due to sequestration, depot level maintenance 

on a small number of airframes, engines, and modules was deferred from FY 2014 to FY 2015, 

with a potential impact on FY 2015 mission readiness. Modernized replacement assets will 

reduce maintenance issues and produce significant program cost-savings. 
4-15 

e. Modernization Programs and Shortfalls 

The Navy has a list of unfunded equipment replacement and modernization requirements. 

Periodically, the CNO develops an Unfunded Programs List and forwards it to Congress for 

resourcing consideration. The CNO’s highest priority unfunded equipment requirements for the 

Navy Reserve are provided in Table 8.

B. Changes since the Last NGRER 

A recent Navy cost-savings initiative eliminated all funding for the only Navy Reserve E-2C 

squadron. As a result, VAW-77, located at NAS New Orleans, Louisiana, divested its respective 

aircraft, ceased operations, and disestablished in March 2013. The disestablishment of this 

squadron resulted in a decrease of approximately 1,800 flight hours and 180 days of airborne 

surveillance in support of counter-illicit trafficking operations. 

C. Future Years Program (FY 2015–FY 2017) 

1. FY 2017 Equipment Requirements 

Table 1 provides projected FY 2015–FY 2017 major equipment inventories and requirements. 

2. Anticipated New Equipment Procurements 

Since FY 2011, significant funding has been provided to NECC units reducing RC TOA 

shortfalls while increasing materiel and operational readiness. Tables 3 and 4 reflect these 

anticipated new equipment procurements. 

3. Anticipated Withdrawals and Transfers from AC to RC 

Table 5 provides major RC equipment to be decommissioned and anticipated major equipment 

transfers between the AC and RC. 

4. Remaining Equipment Shortages and Modernization Shortfalls at the End of FY 2017 

Tables 1 and 8 provide RC equipment inventories, shortfalls, and modernization requirements. 

D. Summary 

In summary, the Navy continues to integrate its Reserve and Active Components into a cohesive 

Total Force ready to meet all operational requirements. The Navy Reserve’s top equipment 

priorities are aircraft and expeditionary hardware for Costal Riverine Force, Naval Construction 

Force, and Navy Expeditionary Logistics Support Group units. Even after significant Reserve 

reductions in FY 2013, Reserve personnel still comprise almost 50 percent of the Navy’s 

expeditionary forces. 

Procurement of modern equipment across all communities is essential to ensuring compatibility 

and interoperability with the AC. Additionally, as the Navy continues to develop UAS programs 

such as Triton and Fire Scout, the opportunity for Navy Reserve engagement will grow. The 

capacity to participate in these mission sets will enhance the Total Force as we continue to 

progress into the 21st century. 
4-16 

The Navy Reserve will continue to play a vital role in Navy’s Total Force that will deliver 

valued capabilities. As stated in the 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review Report, 

Prevailing in today’s wars requires a Reserve Component that can serve in an operational 

capacity—available, trained, and equipped for predictable routine deployment. 

Preventing and deterring conflict will likely necessitate the continued use of some 

elements of the Reserve Component—especially those that possess high-demand skill 

sets—in an operational capacity well into the future. 

Today’s Navy Reserve provides vital strategic depth and operational capabilities to the Navy and 

Nation. Depending on the mission, the RC mirrors or complements the AC. When required, the RC 

stands ready to provide rotational forces for common missions that are periodic and predictable. 

The RC also complements the AC by providing unique capabilities in other areas, such as intratheater airlift, adversary support, cargo afloat rig teams, and rotary-wing support to joint special 

operations forces. Whether providing strategic depth or unique operational capabilities, NGREA 

has been essential to allowing the Navy Reserve to meet its warfighting commitments.

Chapter 5

United States Air Reserve Components 

I. United States Air Force Overview 

AIR FORCE VISION 

The World’s Greatest Air Force, Powered by Airmen, Fueled by Innovation 

AIR FORCE MISSION 

Fly, Fight, and Win...in Air, Space, and Cyberspace 

A. Air Force Planning Guidance 

The United States Air Force provides Global Vigilance, Global Reach, and Global Power for 

America through the five enduring Air Force core missions of 1) air and space superiority; 

2) intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance; 3) rapid global mobility; 4) global strike; and 

5) command and control. These missions directly support the Air Force’s ability to meet the 

objectives of the January 2012, Sustaining U.S. Leadership: Priorities for 21st Century Defense

(Defense Strategic Guidance). Pursuit of this new defense strategic guidance in an era of 

constrained resources is reflected in acquisition and modernization priorities distributed among 

the Regular Air Force, Air Force Reserve (AFR), and the Air National Guard (ANG). 

In March of 2013, the Secretary of the Air Force and Chief of Staff of the Air Force (CSAF) 

jointly issued The Air Force Fiscal Year 2013 National Defense Authorization Act 

Implementation Plan, which calls for “A strong Total Force for the future.” In this plan, Air 

Force leadership mandates a strategic choice to become smaller to resource a fully ready, 

modernizing Air Force able to defend our interests and project American power across the globe, 

today and in the future. Recognizing the complexity and importance of the synergy between the 

Active and Reserve Components (AC and RC) that power our Air Force, senior leaders of the 

Air Force—Active, Guard, and Reserve—developed a Total Force Proposal that offered an 

integrated set of modifications to the FY 2013 President’s Budget (PB). 

Investments in Air Force capabilities and readiness are essential if the Nation is to maintain an 

agile, flexible, and ready force. To be effective, the Air Force must be deliberately planned for 

and appropriately and consistently funded. Our highly sophisticated and capable Air Force 

cannot be reconstituted overnight if it is allowed to atrophy. A smaller, highly capable Air Force 

is preferable to a larger one of lesser quality. America’s Air Force gives our Nation immensely 

powerful options to advance its long-term interests and protect our way of life. Today’s Air 

Force is an indispensable hedge against the challenges of an uncertain and dangerous future. 

Every Airman and every citizen should take pride in the fact that the United States Air Force will 

always provide Global Vigilance, Global Reach, and Global Power for America. 

B. Air Force Equipping Policy 

The five enduring Air Force core missions shape where we invest the resources we are given. 

Resource decisions are also informed by the Defense Strategic Guidance and the Budget Control 

Act of 2011. In particular, sequestration impacts our ability to plan for future year budget 

actions. The significant reductions the Air Force has had to make in the last few years required 
5-2 

us to make difficult choices with respect to force structure, modernization, and readiness. As a 

result, the Air Force is working hard to make real progress in eliminating unnecessary expenses 

and ensuring more disciplined use of resources. 

Strategic placement of Air Force assets, such as aircraft, is determined through corporate-level 

processes involving both the AC and RC. Modernization of aircraft is addressed through a 

partnership between the requirements of the Core Function Lead Integrator for mission capability 

as well as requirements determined by the RC to meet assigned missions. These efforts ensure a 

mission-ready, mission-capable force to meet the Air Force’s vision, mission, and priorities. 

C. Plan to Fill Modernization Shortages in the RC 

In today’s demanding, complex, and uncertain environment, the Air Force achieves its mission 

and leadership priorities through the efficient incorporation of the RC. Historically, the Air Force 

has led the Department of Defense in maximizing the value of the RC, most notably through 

association of units between the AC and RC. In recent years, the Air Force has institutionalized 

this process in Total Force Integration initiatives and now in the broader view of Total Force 

Enterprise—an analytical framework used to provide insight into the mix of AC and RC. The Air 

Force will continue to address equipment modernization across the Total Force to ensure 

mission-ready, mission-capable forces. 

With the challenging fiscal constraints, the National Guard and Reserve Equipment Appropriation 

(NGREA) funding provided by Congress has played an important role for both the Air National 

Guard and Air Force Reserve in preserving the operational force and strategic reserve that the 

Air Force needs. 

D. Initiatives Affecting RC Equipment 

Air Force senior leadership in The Air Force Fiscal Year 2013 National Defense Authorization 

Act Implementation Plan, March 2013, outlines how the FY 2013 National Defense 

Authorization Act (NDAA) authorized the Air Force to complete actions that had been approved 

in previous years, directed execution of a mix of the force structure actions contained within the 

FY 2013 PB and the Total Force Proposal, and directed specific actions in the remaining areas 

that Congress did not accept from FY 2013 PB. The paper also describes the actions necessary to 

comply with the FY 2013 NDAA and provides a time-phased addendum that captures the major 

force structure changes by location. 

The FY 2013 PB proposed reducing the Total Force fleet by 223 aircraft in FY 2013 and a total 

of 287 aircraft between FY 2013 and FY 2017. Correspondingly, it proposed reducing military 

end strength by 9,900 in FY 2013, with a total reduction of 11,600 by FY 2017. Of that total of 

11,600, 4,200 of those reductions were to come from the AC, 5,500 from the ANG, and 1,900 

from the AFR. The savings projected as a result of these force structure and end strength 

reductions would have added up to $1.4B in FY 2013 and $8.7B across the Future Years Defense 

Program (FYDP). 

After submission of the FY 2013 PB, stakeholders in Congress and the states expressed concerns 

that the Air Force capabilities programmed in the FY 2013 PB would not meet all the Nation’s 

needs. In response to these concerns, the Air Force released an updated Total Force Proposal in 
5-3 

November 2012. The Total Force Proposal retained some of the major elements of the FY 2013 

PB proposal, but adjusted some elements to enhance the Nation’s Air Force and address 

concerns that the FY 2013 PB proposal divested too much from Air Force capabilities, which 

also affected the ANG’s capability to support state governors. The Total Force Proposal made 

the following changes to the FY 2013 PB submission: 

 Reversed the elimination of one ANG and one AFR C‐130H squadron. 

 Reversed the elimination of one ANG KC‐135 squadron. 

 Reversed the elimination of two ANG A‐10 squadrons. 

 Reversed the planned shift of all MC‐12W aircraft to the ANG. 

In addition, the proposal restored some RC missions performed prior to FY 2012 and added new 

missions for some RC units. In sum, these adjustments 

 added two ANG C‐130 squadrons and increased the size of one ANG C‐130 squadron, 

 added one ANG KC‐135 squadron, 

 transferred one AC A‐10 squadron to the AFR, and 

 consolidated 11 RC‐26B aircraft at one ANG location. 

Furthermore, the proposal retained and/or added several intelligence, surveillance, and 

reconnaissance (ISR), command and control (C2), and operational support missions in the ANG. 

Finally, the proposal made the following adjustments to the FY 2012 PB AC force structure: 

 Divested two C‐130H squadrons. 

 Divested four KC‐135 aircraft. 

 Divested one fighter squadron and transferred one fighter squadron to the AFR. 

Most, but not all, of these adjustments take effect in either FY 2013 or FY 2014, with the 

remainder scheduled to occur not later than FY 2017. 

E. Plan to Achieve Full Compatibility between AC and RC 

To maintain adequate force structure, the Air Force must balance the strengths of each of the 

components (Active, Guard, and Reserve) to sustain the capabilities required to meet the 

challenges created by uncertain strategic and fiscal environments and rapidly evolving threats. 

Future capability development and the ability to operate anywhere, anytime, especially in antiaccess area denial environments, require investment and new, innovative ways of thinking. 

The Air Force continues to provide a balanced portfolio of capabilities across the 13 Air Force 

Core Functions by maximizing the use of AC and RC forces. The analytical framework provided 
5-4 

by Total Force Enterprise will provide insight into the right mix of AC and RC, and the tactical 

application of Total Force Integration initiatives will further build synchronicity. 

This integrated approach, combined with lead command and RC requirements driving aircraftrelated spending, will ensure the Air Force is ready to support the Joint Team as it meets the 

challenges of the future.

Top ANG Equipping Challenges

system modernization efforts 

 Sustaining legacy weapon 

systems 

 Adequate funding for dual-use 

capabilities to support civil 

authorities 

II. Air National Guard Overview 

A. Current Status of the Air National Guard 

Presently, the ANG provides almost half of the Air 

Force’s tactical airlift support, combat communications 

functions, aeromedical evacuations, and aerial refueling. 

The ANG’s aging aircraft fleet faces significant 

sustainment and support costs. Modernizing, 

maintaining, and sustaining capabilities are among the 

current and future challenges the ANG mission support 

community faces. Air Force (AF) funding supplemented 

by National Guard and Reserve Equipment 

Appropriation (NGREA) funds were instrumental in executing modernization programs for ANG 

legacy equipment to remain viable for combatant commanders and supporting civil authorities. 

The prolonged high tempo of operations for the ANG supporting combat operations overseas is 

driving the need to simultaneously modernize and recapitalize our aircraft fleets along with the 

support equipment required to maintain them. The Air Force Total Force concept affords the 

ANG access to newer aircraft and equipment, enabling the ANG to remain prepared, relevant, 

and dependable in DoD missions. However, while this concept has proven to be successful for 

the Air Force in supporting DoD missions, it creates equipment availability challenges for the 

ANG’s ability to respond to requests for supporting civil authorities. 

B. Changes since the Last NGRER 

Although the underlying equipping philosophy of the ANG has not changed, significant mission 

and programmatic changes continue. In support of Total Force, the ANG, in concert with the 

AC, continues to establish unit associations of AC and ANG components. As a result, fewer 

facilities, airframes, support personnel, and support equipment are required to ensure the 

readiness, reliability, and responsiveness of these units. We anticipate more associate unit 

relationships with the AC and AFR in the near future. Space operations, cyber warfare, and 

information operations are mission areas growing in importance, and the ANG is responding to 

requests to allocate manpower and change mission sets for ANG units.

1. Equipment On-hand 

a. Current Status 

Presently, the ANG has a support equipment availability rate of 96 percent, as compared to rates 

less than a decade ago of 84 to 88 percent. This rate is comparable to the overall Air Force 

availability rate and is achieved through the ANG and AC partnering to equip the ANG as an 

operational reserve force. However, this rate was preceded by a significant decrease in ANG 

equipment authorizations, either due to mission changes, associations, or introduction of more 

modern equipment often performing the functions of more than one piece of equipment. ANG 

equipment is typically procured in support of Federal missions with authorizations that are 

aligned to Tables of Allowances (TAs), which prescribe the equipment necessary to perform 

Federal missions. The ANG leverages these TAs for both vehicle and support equipment for its 

responsibilities to meet both Federal missions and state responses to requests for supporting civil 

authorities. Although the equipment readiness level is 96 percent of authorized equipment, 
5-6 

shortages do exist. While attempting to fill the 4 percent remaining deficit, the objective is to 

obtain the assets that are most critical for the warfighter and also for providing support to civil 

authorities under the National Response Plan and National Response Framework. In addition, the 

ANG aligned all dual-use equipment and vehicles into the “Essential 10” categories. The 

Essential 10 are the Chief, National Guard Bureau (CNGB) identified 10 core capabilities needed 

to respond to emergencies and major disasters in the United States. These Essential 10 

capabilities are command and control; chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, or highexplosives (CBRNE) consequence management; engineering assets; communications; 

transportation (surface); aviation and airlift; medical; security; logistics; and maintenance. 

b. Average Age of Major Items of Equipment 

The ANG operates and maintains the oldest aircraft in the Air Force. Overall, the average age of 

aircraft within the ANG is 25 years. See Table 2 for the average age of selected aircraft.

2. Maintenance Issues 

The ANG’s concern about sustaining legacy systems has led to establishment of a Weapon 

Systems Sustainment Working Group. The charter of this group is to identify equipment 

sustainment shortfalls, prioritize them, and advocate for mitigation. Maintenance issues 

identified by the group include the following. 

a. Obsolete Support Equipment 

Many support equipment items critical to daily operations are rapidly nearing the end of their 

expected lives and are becoming increasingly difficult to sustain economically. A-10 Fuel 

Quantity Tester, C-130 engine removal and replacement system, and 50/60 stray voltage pre-load 

tester were all systems identified as critical maintenance capabilities requiring immediate 

attention. The A-10 Fuel Quantity Gull tester is in short supply and lacks a source of supply or 

repair; a vehicle-mounted C-130 engine removal and replacement system capable of performing 

all required tasks is needed to ensure maximum daily aircraft availability; and the 50/60 tester 

currently in use and required for deployed fighter sortie generation is obsolete and unsustainable. 

Failure to field replacements for this equipment will reduce fully mission-capable rates and have 

significant potential for grounding fighter aircraft. 

b. Advanced Support Equipment Required 

This equipment is prioritized to enhance routine maintenance efficiency and safety, while 

improving maintenance capabilities and reducing overall operational costs. Current maintenance 

operations depend on equipment built with 1970s and 1980s technology that is now cumbersome 

to use, expensive to operate, and often creates safety concerns. Procurement of new support 

equipment with improved capabilities will lead to improved aircraft availability, diminished 

operating costs, and enhanced capabilities for agile combat support. Advanced support 

equipment priorities include (1) an alternative tow vehicle utilizing new technology to provide 

better maneuverability and visibility during towing operations resulting in better utilization of 

hangar space and aircraft sheltering; (2) MJ-1E electric jammers to improve load crew training 

effectiveness while enhancing safety (noise and pollution abatement) when compared to legacy 

diesel engines in enclosed training facilities; (3) VXI-based mid-life upgrade for the Improved 
5-7 

Avionics Intermediate Shop to update electronics, resolve diminishing manufacturing source 

issues, and extend useful life into 2030. 

c. Multi-platform Leak Detection 

Existing leak detection procedures employ ineffective and time-consuming soap and bubble 

methods. Advanced leak detection equipment uses tracer gas or ultrasonic methods to identify 

leaks in a fraction of the time and with much more accuracy. Compounding problems with 

existing leak detection procedures is the lack of support equipment capable of maintaining 

sufficient pressure in a closed system to identify the leaks. Without the modern leak detection 

equipment, technicians are required to defuel-refuel aircraft to determine the validity of a fuel 

system repair. 

d. Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Radio Support Capability 

Multiple mission-design-series aircraft system program offices began installing SATCOMcapable ARC-210 radio systems in 2009. This was in response to a United States Central 

Command (USCENTCOM) urgent operational need statement for a robust secure line-of-sight 

(SLOS) and beyond line-of-sight (BLOS) communications capability on the battlefield. This 

SATCOM system was fielded, however, without the ability to maintain or sustain the equipment. 

A SATCOM radio test set has been purchased for fighter aircraft applications, but definition of 

technical order requirements is lagging. The ANG has a plan to procure SATCOM radio test sets 

with embedded electronic technical orders. 

e. C-130 Isochronal Inspection Stands 

C-130 isochronal inspection stands no longer meet Air Force Occupational Safety and Health or 

Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards but are critical to accomplishing 

periodic inspection requirements. Aging stands (some exceeding 40 years old) require frequent 

maintenance actions to maintain their serviceability. Current workarounds delay production, 

increase inspection times, and negatively impact aircraft availability. New stands alleviate 

unnecessary risk and allow maintainers to re-focus on aircraft specific tasks. 

f. Flight Line Generator (72kW) 

The 72kW generator can be overhauled to like-new condition at the Hill Air Force Base depot at 

a cost of $54K per generator. In 2012 new 72kW generators were ordered and are scheduled to 

begin delivery midyear FY 2014. To bridge this long lead time, the ANG budgeted $3.1M to 

overhaul some generators in FY 2013 and submitted a budget adjustment of $1.7M for FY 2014 

to ensure generators were overhauled and returned to service as soon as possible. A shortfall of 

about $10M still exists for either refurbished or new generators. 

C. Future Years Program (FY 2015–FY 2017) 

1. Modernization Efforts 

The ANG’s modernization efforts are founded on capability gaps identified by warfighters and 

civil authorities at two separate annual conferences. In the annual Weapons and Tactics 

conference, critical capability shortfalls are identified and vetted in an open and rigorous forum of 

warfighters, who are experts in their respective weapons systems. The results of this forum are 

consolidated and then approved by the Director, ANG. Capability gaps are verified and validated 
5-8 

into specific programs that are based on commercial or government off-the-shelf technologies, and 

require only non-developmental integration into a weapons system. The process includes C2, 

cyber, ISR, training, and simulator systems as well as weapons delivery, airlift, and tanker 

platforms. These capability shortfalls are documented in the annual Weapons Systems 

Modernization Priorities book. For 2013, this process documented an $8.26B shortfall for 

modernization and recapitalization of the ANG aircraft fleet and associated equipment. 

The complement to the ANG Weapons and Tactics conference for domestic operations is the 

ANG Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements (DOERs) conference. This forum identifies 

critical capability shortfalls for supporting civil authorities and is oriented towards emergency 

managers from the states. The DOERs conference took on a joint perspective in 2012, and the 

second annual National Guard Joint Domestic Operations Equipment Requirements (JDOERs) 

conference will be tentatively held in April 2014 and hosted by the CNGB. The objective of the 

conference is to define, validate, document, and prioritize materiel capabilities needed by 

National Guard units to support civil authorities at all levels of government. This process allows 

experts from the field to come together and prioritize capability needs to accomplish state 

missions. The conference is organized by functional areas within the Emergency Support 

Function framework. The ANG and the Army National Guard (ARNG) will use the output from 

this conference to publish the annual JDOERs Book. 

2. Modernization Programs and Shortfalls 

A-10: In 2013, the ANG completed installations of a second ARC-210 radio on its A-10s to fill a 

USCENTCOM urgent operational need. These radios allow simultaneous SLOS and BLOS 

communications capability with C2, ground troops, and other aircraft. The countermeasures 

processor in the ALQ-213 electronic warfare management system was also upgraded with 

NGREA funding. This upgrade enables ongoing software upgrades to the ALQ-213 as threats 

continue to evolve. NGREA will also finish funding the installation of a helmet-mounted 

integrated targeting (HMIT) system to speed target acquisition and increase pilot situational 

awareness, and the Lightweight Airborne Radio System version 12 (LARS v12) to speed 

location of downed Airmen during combat search and rescue missions. These two modernization 

efforts should conclude in FY 2014. 

The ANG A-10 fleet is planned to receive the following upgrades in the next two years if 

sufficient funding is available: 1) a high resolution display to replace current performance 

instruments and utilize the digital imagery capability of new advanced targeting pods; 2) the 

digital radar warning receiver (RWR), which will significantly improve all RWR functions, 

reducing response times to radio frequency threats; 3) a pilot-selectable overt/covert landing 

light, which allows pilots to choose a night vision compatible light when the situation dictates; 4) 

a replacement intercom and three-dimensional audio system to reduce the workload associated 

with interpreting communications from up to four radios simultaneously; 5) a parking brake, 

which will allow pilots to sit alert in their aircraft, or refuel in austere locations without requiring 

ground personnel to place and remove chocks; and 6) an anti-jam Embedded Global Positioning 

System (GPS)/Inertial Navigation System and antenna that will allow the A-10 to navigate and 

use precision guided weapons in a contested environment. 

The Air Force continues to fund Operational Flight Program software updates for the common 

AC and RC fleet. However, the program is not fully supported due to insufficient funding. Also, 
5-9 

the A-10 engine upgrade or replacement has been identified as a critical need for years, but 

presently no program exists to mitigate the deficiency. 

C-5: There are currently 16 C-5s in the ANG inventory. Those C-5s will be replaced with 12 C-17s 

by FY 2015. Modernization efforts for ANG C-5s have been discontinued due to pending 

retirements. 

C-17: Installation of Large Aircraft Infrared Countermeasures (LAIRCM) on the C-17 remains a 

top priority. All 16 ANG C-17 aircraft are funded by supplemental appropriations to receive 

LAIRCM upgrades. Initial installations began in the second quarter of FY 2012 and should be 

complete by the end of 2013 if the impact of sequestration doesn’t affect the program. The 

remaining 16 C-17 aircraft being introduced into the ANG are aircraft transferred from the AC 

that already have the LAIRCM system installed. Maintaining common configurations and 

capabilities between the ANG and AC C-17 fleets is a priority for the Air Force. 

C-130H: The Air Force fully funded LAIRCM with Overseas Contingency Operations funding. 

Presently, the ANG has LAIRCM installed on 104 of 119 aircraft, with completion of the 

balance of the upgrades expected by February 2014. They are also funding improved cockpit 

armor and crashworthy seats for loadmasters. The ANG has used NGREA to accomplish 54 

installations of capability for Real Time Information in the Cockpit (RTIC), which provides 

timely information to aircrews in the present-day network-centric battle space and greatly 

increases survivability in combat operations. This capability improves survivability by 

connecting it to intelligence and other networked sources of data. ANG is pursuing contract 

actions for the remaining aircraft in the C-130H fleet with FY 2013 NGREA. Installation of 

Square Window Doors for improved detection and countering of surface-to-air missiles are 

underway using a combination of Air Force and NGREA funding. Future projects funded by 

NGREA include an In-flight Propeller Balancing System that will improve reliability and save 

fuel by eliminating periodic ground maintenance. Also, the Electronic Propulsion Control 

System (EPCS) which will improve aircraft availability and safety by accelerating propeller 

response time. The Avionics Modernization Program (AMP) was unfunded in the FY 2013 

Presidential Budget due to its cost. However, the FY 2013 NDAA prohibited official termination 

of AMP until a business cost-versus-benefit analysis was completed by the Institute for Defense 

Analyses (IDA). IDA recommended the Air Force develop an alternative to the AMP that 

provides nearly the same capability at significantly lower cost. The official release of the IDA 

study was November 14, 2013, and Congress has ninety days to respond to the study. 

C-130J: Although the C-130J brings major system enhancements to the C-130 fleet, precision 

airdrop capabilities and protection against surface-to-air missiles are necessary. Ongoing C-130J 

modernization efforts include increased firefighting safety to address the landing gear warning 

horn during Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System (MAFFS) operations, and installations will 

begin in April 2014. Current unfunded modernization requirements for the ANG C-130J fleet 

include MAFFS weather situational awareness, LAIRCM, AAR-47 Missile Warning System 

improvement, and Single Pass Precision-guided Airdrop capability. 

EC-130J: NGREA funding is being used in conjunction with funding from Air Force Special 

Operations Command (AFSOC) to support the LAIRCM integration contract, which AFSOC 

couldn’t fund completely from its budget. Additionally, the ANG fully funded SATCOM radio 
5-10 

upgrades and an enhanced situational awareness suite upgrade with NGREA to bridge the gap in 

available capability while awaiting the longer term solution to be provided by AFSOC. The 

AFSOC solution to meet the enhanced situational awareness requirement is referred to as the 

Special Operations Forces Air Mission Suite (SAMS) Enhanced Situational Awareness (ESA). 

This strategy allows the warfighter to receive increased capabilities years before procurement 

through other funding strategies. Minimum capabilities for the EC-130J to stay relevant include 

procurement of LAIRCM “A” and “B” kits, a permanent situational awareness solution, and 

completion of the SATCOM upgrade. The capability required for optimum employment of the 

EC-130J relies greatly on the continued production of a Special Airborne Mission Installation 

and Response (SABIR)/Fly-Away Broadcast System (FABS) solution, which will allow all the 

EC-130J aircraft to be capable of supporting military information operations.

LC-130: A production contract was awarded for a digital EPCS and installation on each of the 

ten LC-130s. October 2014 is the target completion date for this program. Also, the evaluation of 

the NP2000 eight-bladed propeller for the LC-130 is complete and the program is ready to move 

into production and fielding. The NP2000 significantly improves take-off performance in deep 

snow fields and reduces or eliminates use of the jet-assisted take-off rocket motors. The ANG 

has started efforts to update all the technical orders to support the propeller sets already 

purchased under the test program. An additional $16M is still required to equip the remainder of 

the LC-130 fleet. The Crevasse Detection Radar enables the LC-130 to identify and avoid 

crevasses in the deep field locations where they typically land. The program is operational, but 

the ANG is continuing to update the radar and improve operational usability. The ANG is also 

working closely with the National Science Foundation to make it easier for the science 

community to make use of the LC-130 platform for research purposes. Use of innovative 

equipment that has minimal impact on the structure of the aircraft speeds the approval process 

and significantly reduces the engineering required to install science equipment on the aircraft. 

Future LC-130 requirements include Communication Navigation Surveillance/Air Traffic 

Management (CNS/ATM) avionics upgrades to maintain worldwide flight capability. 

HC/MC-130: The Air Force is funding installation of an emergency locator transmitter and 

airborne direction finder, upgraded communication suite, oil cooler augmentation, aircrew flight 

equipment storage racks, and crashworthy seats for loadmasters. The ANG, AFR, and Air 

Combat Command (ACC) have joined efforts to upgrade aircraft defensive systems by providing 

an ALQ-213 to fully integrate all defensive systems. ANG is also fully funding a program to 

integrate heavy equipment airdrop capabilities into the cargo compartment to better support 

dismounted pararescue personnel. The minimum capabilities for the HC/MC-130 to remain 

relevant to the Air Force are completion of the communication and data-link program, upgrading 

the electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor, which will provide mission critical data to the entire 

combat search and rescue and personnel recovery task force, increased engine performance, and 

CNS/ATM avionics upgrades to maintain worldwide flight capability. Recapitalization of ANG 

HC-130s is planned to begin in 2017. 

E-8C Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS): The Air Force is pursuing 

the option to recapitalize the E-8C JSTARS. To be prudent, the ANG is continuing to fund 

modernization of the current JSTARS platform with NGREA funds to address operational 

equipment requirements needed for current operations. NGREA funding has delivered a 

communications suite with an integrated Internet-protocol (IP)-based chat capability, fulfilling a 
5-11 

USCENTCOM urgent operational need; purchased initial spares for the Enhanced Land 

Maritime Mode for the radar; enhanced cooling carts to enable maintenance during the day in the 

heat of the deserts in deployed locations; purchased 8.33 kHz VHF radios for a voice-over-data, 

frequency-spacing capability; and upgraded International Maritime Satellite service from 

Swift64(B) to Swift Broadband (C). The ANG used FY 2012 NGREA to fund the Multi-agency 

Communications Capability, which will provide enhanced interoperability between JSTARS, 

strike assets, and ground elements of special operations and customs and border protection 

assets. The ANG plan to fund an upgraded personnel recovery communications system and add a 

global imagery server with 2013 NGREA was changed to address more pressing problems with 

the primary mission equipment. The Air Force is now planning a fleet upgrade of the primary 

mission equipment (airborne radar signal processors, computers for operator workstations and 

blue force tracking hardware) to resolve issues with diminishing manufacturing sources for parts. 

Additionally, the Air Force is replacing the Joint Tactical Information Distribution System 

terminal with the Multi-functional Information Distribution System Joint Tactical Radio System. 

F-15C: The APG-63(v)3 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar remains the first 

priority for modernizing the F-15C and is the same radar installed on AC F-15Cs. To date, 

Congressional appropriations have funded 52 AESA radars for the ANG. However, ANG F-15C 

units also operate the only combat-coded legacy APG-63(v)0 radar systems in the CAF and must 

convert these older radars to AESA. The second highest modernization priority is an out-of-band 

solution to allow the F-15C to detect targets in highly contested electromagnetic environments. 

Over the past few years, the Air Force has provided funding for digital video recorders, an 

upgraded central computer and software program, and limited aircraft rewiring. The ANG used 

NGREA funding for its F-15C aircraft to integrate the Advanced Targeting Pod and a new 

cockpit display enabling visual identification of targets of interest on night Aerospace Control 

Alert missions. Because ANG F-15C aircraft are more than 20 years old, cockpit displays are 

inadequate from both an operational and maintenance perspective. NGREA funding will be used 

to upgrade cockpit displays to provide improved capability to present vital targeting information, 

reduce task loading, and improve pilot situational awareness. NGREA funding will also be used 

to procure and install the hardware required to carry the critically important back-of-launcher 

(BOL) external countermeasures system. BOL dramatically improves ANG F-15C survivability 

against widely-proliferated advanced threats. NGREA funding purchased equipment to complete 

the installation of the joint helmet-mounted cueing system (JHMCS) and night cockpit lighting 

modifications for all ANG F-15Cs not funded by the Air Force. It also purchased additional 

JHMCS pilot equipment and provided simulator upgrades for the F-15C flying training unit. 

These simulators support JHMCS and night-vision-goggle training for all F-15C pilots. In 

response to a United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) urgent operational need for 

BLOS communication capability for alert aircraft, the ANG worked with the system program 

office to field an initial, standalone SATCOM capability with NGREA funding. This effort will 

meet the urgent need at least three years earlier than the program of record. The Air Force 

stopped sustainment of the Tactical Electronic Warfare System in FY 2013, before the 

replacement Eagle Passive Active Warning and Survivability System (EPAWSS) was 

operational. The F-15E is the lead for EPAWSS, followed by the F-15C, but neither aircraft will 

receive EPAWSS for several years, because it has not yet entered development. Consequently, 

ANG F-15C aircraft will have a significant gap in electronic warfare capability for up to 10 years 

as they await the EPAWSS upgrade. 
5-12 

F-16: NGREA is funding installation of SLOS and BLOS communications suites; higher data 

rate processors for vital systems upgrades; high-resolution Center Display Units; the Scorpion 

HMIT; enhanced self-protection suites; and the advanced identification, friend or foe (AIFF) 

combined interrogator transponder, a system acknowledged by USNORTHCOM as a critical 

requirement for homeland defense. Over the last years, ANG NGREA funding has supported 

Block 30 HMIT, Center Display Units, ALQ-213 processor upgrades, and Ethernet, X-mux, and 

the Commercial Fire Control Computer, which increases avionics processing power and 

bandwidth to enable carriage of advanced weapons, such as the small diameter bomb. The Air 

Force has, thus far, funded updates to the Operational Flight Program software required to 

support all of these systems, but all modification hardware and installs have been NGREAfunded. Other NGREA funded acquisitions include Block 42 ALQ-213, AIFF, and Block 40/50 

JHMCS. The lack of funding for Block 40 AIFF in the AF budget will create a capability 

shortfall as the aircraft move to the ANG from the other components. Additionally, the RWR 

system (ALR-69) on pre-Block (25/30/32) and Block 42 F-16s is nearing obsolescence, and the 

replacement system (ALR-69A) is unfunded. To counter the proliferation of infrared-guided 

man-portable shoulder-launched surface-to-air missiles, the ANG is also investigating 

procurement of an off-the-shelf pylon-mounted missile warning system for the pre-Block F-16 

fleet. If sufficient FY 2013 and FY 2014 NGREA is available, ANG will procure a second 

ARC-210 radio for pre-block F-16s to enable simultaneous SLOS and BLOS operations, and a 

three-dimensional audio system to reduce pilot workload by synchronizing and spatially 

separating multiple radios. 

HH-60G: The ANG HH-60G fleet is undergoing a NGREA-funded program to enable direct 

communication with civilian emergency responders. The AFR and ANG are teaming up to 

replace single-band SATCOM, VHF/FM, VHF/AM, and UHF/AM radios with four ARC-210 

multi-band radios. The ANG is funding the first aircraft modification and associated support, 

such as updated technical orders to validate the new system while the AFR and ANG continue to 

budget for funding for retrofitting the remaining aircraft. The ANG supports a temporary smart, 

multi-function color display (SMFCD) program while ACC continues to develop a permanent 

SMFCD solution. The ANG has already been flying with SMFCDs for three years, and the 

permanent solution is still years away. Additionally, the AF funded installation of an improved 

vibration monitoring system, improved altitude hover and hold stabilization, LARS v12, and a 

defensive weapon system. The minimum capabilities required to stay relevant are the upgraded 

communication program, a permanent SMFCD solution with data link, and improved defensive 

capabilities, to include a hostile fire indicator. The capabilities for optimum employment include 

a helmet-mounted cueing system with capabilities for point designation and full motion video. 

Furthermore, the HH-60G fleet is rapidly aging and experiencing an increase in maintenance 

rates and component failures, which dictates a recapitalization effort. An approved and funded 

initiative to replace HH-60s lost in combat will return the number of aircraft to 112 by FY 2016. 

The ANG plans to receive no less than four of these aircraft (Congressionally-mandated). The 

Combat Rescue Helicopter is the program of record that will fully recapitalize the HH-60 fleet, 

but the current fiscal environment puts this program at risk.

KC-135: Changes in employment concepts put the KC-135s in high-threat areas. This 

vulnerability requires addition of LAIRCM capability. ANG, with Air Mobility Command 

support, completed a second round of testing involving ground and compatibility flight tests to 

evaluate a low-cost pod solution originally developed by the Department of Homeland Security 
5-13 

for commercial aircraft use. The ANG also partnered with the Navy to create an affordable path 

forward for the podded LAIRCM system. There is currently no AF funding for the IR 

countermeasures on the KC-135. For the KC-135 to continue its mission in the future, the ANG 

has established a critical need for a tactical data link (TDL)/RTIC system for crew situation 

awareness in high-threat environments as well as enhanced external overt/covert lighting to 

reduce the chance of midair collisions when operating at night in high-threat environments. The 

ANG will fund these initiatives if sufficient funding becomes available.

Remotely Piloted Aircraft (RPA): The ANG has eight operational RPA units: five MQ-1 units, 

located in Arizona, California, North Dakota, Texas, and Ohio; a classic associate in Nevada; 

plus two MQ-9 units, one in New York and one in Tennessee. The ANG also operates one MQ-1 

Formal Training Unit (FTU) and field training detachment (FTD) in California and one MQ-9 

FTU/FTD in New York. Squadron operations centers (SOCs) are the key tactical C2 link 

between individual unit RPAs and deployed locations and provide a common operating picture 

between the two, as well as supporting intelligence units. Critical capabilities required for the 

MQ-1 and MQ-9 are upgrading the SOCs; multilevel secure communication suites; independent 

and redundant data architectures to improve mission reliability; airspace integration systems such 

as sense and avoid, along with subsystems that allow flight in civil airspace controlled by the 

Federal Aviation Administration; more rapid exploitation of support data; and rapid data file 

transfer and sharing. 

C-32B: In FY 2012, the C-32B received NGREA for communication system upgrades. AFSOC 

requested support from the ANG in meeting a critical mission requirement for SATCOM 

capability with encryption in the Ku band for the C-32B. Funding was not immediately available. 

The ANG was able to provide NGREA funds to partially modernize the C-32B communication 

equipment while AFSOC continues to try and develop a long-term funding solution. 

C-38: The C-38 has limited range, is difficult to maintain, and is expensive to operate due to 

diminishing manufacturing sources of aircraft parts. Replacing the C-38s would address several 

capability gaps identified in a formal capabilities-based assessment. Current requirements call for 

four small capacity executive support aircraft. Four aircraft would ensure consistent support and 

minimize the impact of unplanned maintenance.

C-40: With availability of AF funding, LAIRCM systems have recently been installed on these 

aircraft along with Integrated Approach Navigation/Vertical Situation Display and the Enhanced 

Vision System. The ANG has funded additional avionics upgrades that will bring the ANG C-40s 

to a common configuration with the AFR C-40Cs. ANG has also funded a high-speed data 

internet capability, which will allow passengers to connect via non-secure internet and e-mail 

while airborne. Current C-40 requirements for the ANG fleet call for four aircraft, three of which 

have been procured. A fourth aircraft would ensure consistent mission support and minimize the 

impact of unplanned maintenance.

Battlefield Airman (BA): BA capabilities are associated with combat controllers, Guardian 

Angels (GAs) and tactical air control parties. The ANG has been active in the past year 

supplying numerous solutions to meet critical capability gaps The ANG continues to use 

NGREA to support the BA Operations (BAO) kit program. The BAO kit provides the BA with 

enhanced situational awareness and communication capabilities. Due to the large number of 
5-14 

units requiring equipment and continuous advancements in technology, this program will 

continue for many years. The ANG has been able to continue to upgrade communication 

equipment, personnel protective equipment, and fund a program to provide rescue vehicles years 

before ACC was scheduled to have funds available. The minimum capabilities for BA to stay 

relevant are improved weapons, continued advancements with coded spot trackers, and shortwave infrared devices. The capabilities for optimum employment require wireless solutions, 

improved night vision devices, advanced tactical headsets, and less-than-lethal weapons. Up to 

this point, attempts to modernize and upgrade weapons carried by GAs have been unsuccessful. 

Although the mission of GAs is more aligned with special operations, they are only authorized 

weapons purchased by the Air Force Security Forces Center. 

Control and Reporting Center (CRC)/Air Control Squadron: Continued changes to mission 

requirements outpaces planned upgrades to capabilities and service life extension programs 

(SLEPs), creating numerous shortfalls. Air Force Space Command’s recent plan to remove 

theater deployable communications assets from the CRC will significantly impact ANG training 

capabilities. Funding is needed to address shortfalls in the CRC internal C2 network and datalink capabilities; fulfill live mission training requirements; and enable an effective approach to 

support airborne and ground mission crew training. Additional tactical generators are still 

required to reduce the number of forward-deployed assets, and realize a 20 percent reduction in 

fuel consumption ($10M). ACC’s efforts to extend the service life for the AN/TPS-75 ($36M) 

and replace existing equipment with the Three Dimensional Expeditionary Long-Range Radar 

($2.2B) will assure these systems meet current and projected mission requirements. In the 

interim, modernization using modular elements will address shortfalls in critical capabilities and 

urgent requirements identified in recent evaluations ($74M). 

Component Numbered Air Force/Air Operations Center (AOC): The ANG, ACC, and Air 

Force Materiel Command are collaborating to upgrade six ANG AOC suites to the AOC 10.1 

Recurring Event 11 system configuration. The ANG invested NGREA funding in FY 2013. This 

improved baseline will allow ANG units to train on compatible and interoperable systems, and 

ensure mission-capable personnel are ready. These upgrades are one component of a larger 

package of upgrades that will allow Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) and process 

integration within the AOC mission. Following the major updates being accomplished with 

FY 2013 and FY 2014 funding, the next cycle of capital equipment replacement for the six ANG 

AOC sites is programmed to begin in FY 2017. Ultimately, the desired system configuration 

requires a Core Radio Package solution for all six ANG sites. The Core Radio Package consists of 

multiple radios and data-link capabilities and has a funding shortfall of $5M. Other AOC system 

shortfalls are in intelligence, which requires additional targeting workstations to train targeteers 

($2M). 

Expeditionary Air Traffic Control, Deployable Radar Approach Control (D-RAPCON): The 

ANG uses the AN/MPN-14K system; this system operates on 1950s analog technology that 

received minor radar upgrades in the 1980s. Current technology is now digital and beyond, and 

many of the subsystems are no longer commercially available or produced. Replacement systems 

for the ANG AN/MPN-14K RAPCON are being funded by the Air Force under the Air Traffic 

Control and Landing System program element. A total of 10 digital D-RAPCON systems will be 

procured for the ANG. The D-RAPCON initial operational capability is planned in FY 2017 and 

full operational capability in FY 2021. D-RAPCON will also include the newly developed 
5-15 

Deployable Instrument Landing System as a replacement for the AN/MPN-14K Precision 

Approach Radar component. 

Live, Virtual, Constructive (LVC) Simulation and Range Instrumentation: LVC is the 

overarching training technology that encompasses all aspects of simulation, including DMO and 

range instrumentation. As part of the Guard’s “fly before you buy” policy, both flight and 

mission crew simulator proofs of concept are constructed in partnership with government 

technology development centers and industry. This approach ensures that production decisions 

are made only after evaluation by ANG subject matter experts, resulting in reduced risk, cost, 

and schedule. Current ANG simulation programs include: production and fielding of 18 KC-135 

Boom Operator Simulation Systems; 17 ANG Advanced Joint Terminal Attack Controller 

Simulation Systems, which require $15M for full deployment; the C-130H Multi-Mission Crew 

Trainer, which requires an additional $3M for full deployment; technology and obsolescence 

upgrades for the F-15 and F-16 unit simulators requiring $4 to $6M per year through the FYDP; 

LVC capability improvements at the seven ANG AOCs, 601st AOC, and four Air Defense 

Sectors requiring $3M; and a $2M HH-60G Aircrew Procedures Trainer for the 150th Fighter 

Wing to support HH-60G formal training. Current LVC programs at the ANG’s 14 ranges 

include High Fidelity Surrogate Target Systems, which require an additional $4.8M for full 

deployment. Additional unfunded requirements include two high-fidelity C-130J weapons 

system trainers at $50M. 

Cyber Warfare (CW) and Information Operations: Over the past two fiscal years, the ANG 

has used NGREA funding to equip and modernize three of the ANG CW units in Kansas and 

Maryland with a baseline Cyberspace and Critical Infrastructure Range (CCIR). FY 2012 

NGREA funded installation of an additional CCIR at a new CW unit in Washington; provisioned 

network traffic simulators to CCIRs in Delaware, Rhode Island, and Washington; and provided 

Kansas with capability for conducting cyber Red Team and Opposing Force exercise events. 

Current NGREA efforts will equip three ANG CW units with a capability for rapid coordination 

and information sharing in real-time plus CCIR capability to a new CW unit in California. The 

ANG will pursue acceleration of Air Force equipment for hunter and cyber vulnerability 

assessment operations in at least one ANG unit. 

RC-26B: The RC-26B recently completed six years of distinguished operations supporting 

United States Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) operations. Six aircraft were modified 

with USSOCOM funding adding additional communication capabilities and self-protection for 

use by special forces. These six will have the specialized equipment installed by USSOCOM 

removed, and the ANG will use FY 2013 NGREA to replace the mission system operator station; 

upgrade the onboard communications suite (including incorporation of civil/law enforcement 

radios); upgrade antenna mounts and tactical data links; and add an improved EO/IR turret. 

Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS): Historical operations tempo and focus on 

theater operations has necessitated training DCGS operators during actual combat missions. 

There has been no AF funding and insufficient time to develop an AF DCGS Weapons System 

Trainer (WST) to maintain the currency of DCGS operators. Without a WST, ANG DCGS 

personnel will be unable to maintain proficiency or currency. Consequently, the ANG DCGS 

Weapons System Council is partnering with the 480th ISR Wing, the AC parent wing for the AF 

DCGS enterprise, to develop a Total Force WST solution. Without commitment and investment, 
5-16 

the ANG will fail to meet the objectives of the AF’s 2025 DCGS Vision and struggle to meet 

surge requirements of the combatant commanders for processing, exploitation, and dissemination 

driven by operational plans for both permissive and contested environments. 

Security Forces (SF): The ANG has been active in attempting to meet SF equipment shortfalls. 

Current programs include surveillance, target acquisition, and night observation equipment; lessthan-lethal equipment; explosive detection kits; SF professional gear, and small arms ranges. These 

programs are ongoing and are expected to continue well beyond the current fiscal year. The ANG SF 

forecasted the following modernization shortfalls for FY 2015–FY 2017: 1) $1.8M for simulated 

training munitions, 2) $8M for explosive detection equipment, 3) $6M for less-than-lethal 

equipment, and 4) $18M for SF mobility bags to completely equip ANG SF forces for deployments 

to fully meet requirements. The solution for small arms ranges is being developed with cooperation 

from both the ARNG and the ANG to make the most efficient use of available funds. The ANG 

relies heavily on the other components as well as other agencies to utilize available small arms 

ranges. Scheduling conflicts and, in some cases, expenses for using a range, both civilian and 

military, is the norm. The minimum capabilities required to keep SF Airmen relevant are continued 

funding of mobility bags for professional gear. Capabilities needed for optimum employment require 

continued support for ongoing programs, such as less-than-lethal weapons, explosive detection kits, 

and small arms ranges. 

Medical: The ANG currently maintains four operational Expeditionary Medical Support 

(EMEDS) +25 equipment platforms and two training sets. ANG has upgraded 2 of 4 of its 

current operational EMEDS basic modules to the new EMEDS Health Response Team (HRT) 

module. The 17 CBRNE–Enhanced Response Force Package (CERFP) units have received 

upgraded medical equipment and supplies per approved allowance standards. The 10 Homeland 

Response Force (HRF) units also have the upgraded medical equipment and supplies and are 

current. 

The medical resupply requirement established last year listed three HRF and CERFP medical 

resupply assemblages, which have been received, and one EMEDS HRT resupply assemblage, 

which is scheduled for production in FY 2014. However, the ANG anticipates total shortfalls of 

$5M based on an anticipated new allowance standard block upgrade for EMEDS. 

Engineering: Prime power and firefighting equipment shortages continue to limit the ANG’s 

ability to concurrently support home stations, overseas deployments, and civil authorities. For 

example, prime power requires in excess of $3M in power generation capability. Insufficient 

capacity exists in three Federal Emergency Management Agency regions. To redress the lack of 

capacity, the ANG purchased a power generation package for the 150th Civil Engineer Squadron 

in New Mexico as an initial investment using NGREA funding, and plans additional purchases 

as funding becomes available for the 118th Civil Engineer Squadron in Tennessee and one other 

location on the East Coast. Additionally, Bomb Squad Emergency Response Vehicles (BSERVs) 

and Total Containment Vessels (TCVs) are critical requirements to facilitate response by 

explosive ordnance disposal teams. The BSERVs and TCVs are procured, and expected delivery 

is to occur over the next 12 months. Capabilities to bridge military communications with those of 

first responders are another critical shortfall. The requirement is for $14.9M in equipment to 

redress the shortfall to the ANG’s ability to support civil authorities whether in Federal or state 

status. 
5-17 

3. Equipment Shortages and Modernization Shortfalls at the End of FY 2017 

For the past three years, the ANG has emphasized modernization, upgrades, and procurement in 

communications and firefighting. These efforts were focused in both combat operations and civil 

support operations. In communications, the ANG sought to leverage networks and data links to 

bring current information and data directly to aircraft cockpits and BA; improve situational 

awareness for air defense operations; provide a common operational picture for Joint Force 

Headquarters-State; and provide capability to bridge communications between military and civil 

responders. In firefighting, the ANG brought aboard an improved MAFFS-2 in time for the 2012 

wildfire season and, in 2013, purchased upgraded and newer firefighting vehicles, protective 

equipment, and equipment for rescue operations. For details on equipment and modernization 

shortfalls at the end of FY 2016, see the description of individual weapons systems 

modernization in the preceding “Modernization Programs and Shortfalls” section of this chapter, 

as well as the “ANG Equipment Shortfalls” section in Appendix B. 

D. Summary 

With the need to fully fund ongoing operations and continued pressure on defense budgets, 

obtaining adequate funding for both procuring new equipment and modernizing existing 

equipment continues to be a challenge. Sustained NGREA funding over the past three years 

coupled with contributions by the corporate Air Force has enabled the ANG to start or complete 

projects that add significant capabilities to the Total Force. Additionally, the ANG is concerned 

with its ability to satisfy requests to support civil authorities with its dual-use equipment. 

Changes to unit missions, coupled with organizational changes to increased classic associations, 

have created a decrease in authorizations for ANG equipment, which decreases the ability to 

respond to requests to support civil authorities. 

Despite the shrinking budgets and equipment balances, along with modernization effort 

shortfalls, the ANG will continue to strive to adapt and meet the needs of the combatant 

commanders for combat and combat support forces, and requirements for homeland operations.

NOTE: This table portrays the planned equipment transfers (Active to Reserve), withdrawals (-), and

decommissioning (-). Transferred equipment is commonly called "cascaded equipment," or equipment that is

provided to the RC once the AC receives more modern equipment. Although this table highlights a three-year

period, many Services will not know exact quantities of transfers or withdrawals until year of execution, due to

the uncertainty of the procurement/delivery cycle of new equipment.

III. Air Force Reserve Overview 

A. Current Status of the Air Force Reserve 

1. General Overview 

In February 2012, the CSAF issued Air Force 

Priorities for a New Strategy with 

Constrained Budgets. This document explains 

that 1) the Active and Reserve Components 

were carefully balanced to preserve both 

readiness and capability in the FY 2013 

budget submission, and 2) a modern force is 

necessary to meet future challenges. With the pace and scope of modernization slowing, the 

National Guard and Reserve Equipment Account (NGREA) has played an increased role in 

preserving the operational force and strategic reserve the Air Force needs. 

The Air Force Reserve (AFR) is fully engaged across the full spectrum of operations, providing 

the strategic capacity to respond to national crises and the day-to-day operational capability to 

maintain ongoing missions. In 2003, the AFR surged, with 23 percent of its force activated in 

response to 9/11 and support for Operation Iraqi Freedom, and again in 2010, with 12 percent of 

its Airmen activated to support Operation Enduring Freedom. More recently, the AFR supported 

the Total Force with an average of seven percent of its Airmen contributing to operational dayto-day, Air Expeditionary Force, mobilization, and war effort missions—including providing 

immediate response to Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey and Operation Juniper Micron in Mali. 

Over the last two years, the Air Force Reserve provided eight percent of the forces supporting 

Air and Space Expeditionary Force (AEF) missions, including Operations Coronet Oak, Theater 

Security Package, Noble Eagle, and Enduring Freedom. This makes the Air Force Reserve 

Command (AFRC), as one of 10 Major Commands, the fourth largest contributor to Total Force 

AEF requirements. Transcending quantity, the command prides itself on the quality of its force 

generation, dedicating the Force Generation Center to the oversight, visibility, and accountability 

of its forces since 2011, which reported double-digit increases in all of the six measured areas 

that gauge the effectiveness and efficiency of its AEF processes. 

The Air Force uses NGREA to modernize the AFR’s aging equipment to maintain leading-edge 

combat capability. The appropriation bolsters recapitalization of critical RC equipment in the 

three major areas: mobility air forces (MAF), combat air forces (CAF), and Agile Combat 

Support (ACS). FY 2012 execution enabled procurement of A-10 and F-16 helmet-mounted 

integrated targeting (HMIT) systems to comply with combatant commander urgent operational 

need for low collateral damage, C-130 combat communication systems for battlespace 

awareness, materials handling equipment to support aerial point of embarkation operations at 

March Air Reserve Base (ARB), and modernization of the multi-year C-130 Modular Aerial 

Spray Systems (MASS). The Air Force Reserve has the lead responsibility for WC-130J aircraft, 

executing all modernization and sustainment functions of the peculiar equipment needed to 

accomplish the Hurricane Hunter mission. The AFR used FY 2009 NGREA funds to mitigate 

obsolescence of the Aerial Reconnaissance Weather Officer pallet system and FY 2010 NGREA 

funds to add civil satellite communications capability to the WC-130J aircraft 

Top AFR Equipping Challenges 

 Defensive Systems: Risks to aircraft 

vulnerability/survivability during combat 

operations due to legacy defensive systems 

 Data Link and Secure Communications: 

Non-standard airborne capabilities 

supporting image/video, threat updates, 

and communications for combat missions 
5-19 

The AFR maintains a warfighter-driven requirements process that studies mission needs and 

solicits, validates, and prioritizes requirements proposals. These are then ranked into the 

Prioritized Integrated Requirements List (PIRL) and presented to the AFRC Commander for 

approval. The PIRL executable items then form the AFR Modernization List, which is used to 

determine the AFR’s Fiscal Year Procurement List. 

The AFR is working to address Congressional concerns with NGREA obligation rates that do not 

meet DoD goals. The nature of the NGREA appropriation demands an agile response by the 

acquisition community. An out-year projection of the AFR’s procurement plan assists Air Force 

Materiel Command (AFMC) in planning acquisition workload and contracting strategy. The 

AFR is actively presenting three to five year procurement plans to AFMC using courses of action 

that depict multiple funding scenarios. The longer planning horizons allow earlier initiation of 

requirements documents to ensure lead command requirement approval prior to allocation of 

NGREA. The AFR also implemented processes to ensure that acquisition planning is in place 

prior to the receipt of funds so that proposal requests can be issued. Contractual options or other 

contractual vehicles allowing for flexible order quantities will be put in place, where possible. 

While these planning improvements will take several years to be fully implemented, 

improvements are already visible in AFR NGREA execution rates. 

While processes are in place for NGREA execution, historical delays with appropriations and 

authorizations translated to delays with depot maintenance programs. Weapons Systems 

Sustainment executes to a predetermined schedule that is based on enterprise requirements. The 

schedule flow includes commitment of funds 30 days prior to equipment input, which enables 

depot organizations to order parts. The uncertainty of obligation authority due to continuing 

resolutions disrupts this process. Thus, delays cause a ripple effect due to lack of sufficient 

annual authority, and flying units may suffer from aircraft availability as funding delays result in 

depot delays. 

Overall, NGREA funds have been welcome support to maintaining and modernizing aging 

equipment. The Air Force Reserve has a successful record of effectively applying NGREA in the 

areas of MAF, CAF, and ACS to ensure the readiness of Reserve combat capability. 

a. Mobility Air Forces (MAF) 

The majority of AFR capability exists in the MAF, and it contributes a significant amount of 

aircrews in diverse mission areas at the highest levels of force readiness. These include unit 

equipped, classic associations, active associations, and Formal Training Units (FTUs), all 

together covering 18 percent of aerial refueling, 18 percent of tactical airlift, 30 percent of 

strategic airlift, 100 percent of Air Force aerial spray, and 100 percent of Air Force Weather 

Reconnaissance missions. Currently, the AFR has C-5, C-17, C-130, KC-135, and C-40C units 

where they own and maintain aircraft and equipment. 

The C-5 Galaxy provides the Air Force with inter-theater airlift in support of U.S. national 

defense. The AFR operates C-5 aircraft at the 433rd Airlift Wing, Lackland AFB, Texas, and at 

the 439th Airlift Wing, Westover ARB, Massachusetts. The 433rd Airlift Wing is home to the 

Air Force’s C-5 FTU, which supports aircrew training for the entire C-5 fleet. The AFR 

associates with the AC on C-5 aircraft at the 512th Airlift Wing, Dover AFB, Delaware and 

349th Air Mobility Wing, Travis AFB, California. Programs like the Wireless Interphone 
5-20 

System, voice and data communication upgrades, Avionics Modernization Program, and Reliability 

Re-engineering Program have increased operational and maintenance capability while fulfilling 

mandated airspace requirements. 

The C-17 Globemaster III provides the Air Force with inter-theater and intra-theater airlift in 

support of U.S. national defense. The AFR operates C-17s at the 452nd Air Mobility Wing, 

March ARB, California and the 445th Air Mobility Wing, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio. The 

AFR associates with the AC on C-17 aircraft at the 315th Airlift Wing, Charleston AFB, South 

Carolina; the 446th Airlift Wing, McChord AFB, Washington; the 514th Air Mobility Wing, 

McGuire AFB, New Jersey; the 512th Airlift Wing, Dover AFB, Delaware; 349th Air Mobility 

Wing, Travis AFB, California; and the 730th Air Mobility Training Squadron, Altus AFB, 

Oklahoma. Key maintenance items for the Globemaster include communication and warning 

systems to enhance battlespace awareness and survivability. 

The C-130 Hercules provides the Air Force with capability to take off and land on short, 

unimproved runways normally found during austere operations. The C-130H provides rapid 

transportation of personnel or cargo for delivery day or night by parachute or landing. It can also 

be used for aeromedical evacuation of injured personnel. The AFR maintains C-130H aircraft at 

Dobbins ARB, Georgia; Maxwell AFB, Alabama; Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station (ARS), 

New York; Pittsburgh International Airport (IAP) ARS, Pennsylvania; Pope Army Airfield, 

North Carolina; Youngstown ARS, Ohio; Minneapolis-St Paul IAP ARS, Minnesota; and 

Peterson AFB, Colorado. Peterson AFB, Colorado provides MAFFS capability and Youngstown 

ARS, Ohio provides Modular Aerial Spray System capability. The 910th Airlift Wing at 

Youngstown ARS, Ohio is tasked as the only large area fixed-wing aerial spray capability within 

DoD to control disease-carrying insects, pest insects, and oil spill dispersal. The unit has been 

involved in year round coverage to suppress mosquitoes carrying the West Nile Virus. The AFR 

is actively pursuing secure/beyond line-of-sight communication capability, real-time battlespace 

information in the cockpit with a data link/common operating picture, updated aerial spray 

systems, and modern propeller control and balancing systems. The AFR HC-130 fleet is also 

modernizing with a state-of-the-art integrated electronic warfare suite to ensure warfighting 

capability and fleet safety. 

The C-130J is the latest and most advanced version of the C-130, with more fuel efficiency and 

greater range than previous versions. With increased reliability and maintainability, the C-130J 

reduces the cost of ownership by as much as 45 percent less than older C-130 models. The AFR 

maintains C-130J aircraft at the 403rd Air Mobility Wing, Keesler AFB, Mississippi. It supports 

ground operations through the delivery of paratroopers and equipment to austere runways at 

forward bases. The C-130J conducts humanitarian relief missions and can be used for medical 

evacuations. 

The AFR’s 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron maintains WC-130Js at Keesler AFB, 

Mississippi, to provide ongoing Hurricane Hunter support to National Hurricane Hunter and 

National Winter Storm operation plans. The unique mission profiles flown by the WC-130Js 

have revealed a critical communication capability shortfall that will be addressed with NGREA 

funds. 
5-21 

The KC-135 Stratotanker provides worldwide air refueling and strategic airlift in support of U.S. 

national defense. The Air Force Reserve operates KC-135R aircraft at the 434th Air Refueling 

Wing, Grissom ARB, Indiana; the 452nd Air Mobility Wing, March ARB, California; the 459th 

Air Refueling Wing, Andrews AFB, Maryland; the 507th Air Refueling Wing, Tinker AFB, 

Oklahoma; and the 916th Air Refueling Wing, Seymour-Johnson AFB, North Carolina. AFR 

KC-135 aircrews have continuously maintained a 1:5 mobilization-to-dwell ratio to support AEF 

rotations since January 2009, and the aircraft are programmed through FY 2017 to modify voice, 

data link, and data transfer capability to enhance self-defense capabilities. 

The C-40C provides worldwide air transportation for the Executive Branch, Congressional 

members and delegations, DoD officials, high ranking U.S. and foreign dignitaries, as well as 

other numerous operations support needs. The 932nd Airlift Wing, at Scott AFB, Illinois, is 

dedicated to providing the highest level of service to support operational support airlift travel 

teams, critical mission support and VIPs supporting war, peacetime, homeland defense, and 

contingency requirements. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued guidance 

requiring detection/correction of potential ignition sources in the area of aircraft fuel tanks, 

which impacted the C-40C. The FAA established a performance-based set of requirements that 

set acceptable flammability exposure values for fuel tanks prone to explosion or required 

installation of ignition mitigation means in an affected tank. The program is on track with 

50 percent of the fleet expected to be complete by September 2015 and 100 percent by 

September 2018. 

b. Combat Air Forces (CAF) 

Currently, the AFR has B-52, A-10, F-16, HH-60, HC-130, and Guardian Angel units where they 

own and maintain aircraft and equipment. 

The B-52 Stratofortress serves as the workhorse of the conventional bomber fleet possessing 

intercontinental range and a large, diverse weapons payload. The AFR maintains B-52 aircraft 

assigned to the 307th Bomb Wing, Barksdale AFB, Louisiana and is currently the only command 

that produces new aircrews for this aircraft through the Flying Training Unit program, providing 

100 percent of the formal training for B-52 aircrew combat employment. AFR B-52s require 

installation of Digital Mission Data Recorders and upgrades to the LITENING Advanced 

Targeting Pod (ATP) through spiral upgrades to maintain training and combat effectiveness. 

The A-10 Thunderbolt II is the primary Air Force close air support ground attack fighter. The 

AFR maintains A-10 aircraft at the 442nd Fighter Wing, Whiteman AFB, Missouri. Since 2007, 

the Air Force Reserve has teamed with Air Combat Command to maintain two A-10 associate 

units. AFR A-10 units from Barksdale AFB, Louisiana, and Whiteman AFB, Missouri, deployed 

to Afghanistan in the spring of 2012 to fill a mix of 90 and 180-day deployments to support an 

AEF rotation. This deployment was the first use of the NGREA-purchased fourth generation 

LITENING targeting pod. The new LITENING pod proved to be a tactical and technological 

success. AFR A-10s are also receiving a helmet-mounted targeting display and an onboard 

oxygen generation system to help them operate from austere locations. 

The F-16 Fighting Falcon provides air-to-air and air-to-ground combat capabilities in a singleengine multi-role tactical fighter aircraft. The Air Force Reserve flies F-16s at the 301st Fighter 

Wing, Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Ft. Worth, Texas, and the 482nd Fighter Wing, 
5-22 

Homestead ARB, Florida. AFR F-16s are currently receiving an avionics update to include a new 

smart display, helmet-mounted targeting, and advanced identification friend foe equipment. 

Communication needs include secure line-of-sight (SLOS)/beyond line-of-sight (BLOS) and a 

three-dimensional audio system upgrade, which will significantly improve situational awareness, 

threat reaction, and communication intelligibility. A new radar processor will improve reliability 

and performance with minimal integration, installment, and purchasing costs, and it is estimated 

to save over $100K per year for radar repair on each F-16. These updates maintain survivability 

and combat effectiveness in current and future threat environments. 

The HH-60G Pave Hawk mission is to conduct day or night operations into hostile environments 

to recover downed aircrew or isolated coalition personnel. The AFR operates HH-60G aircraft at 

the 920th Rescue Wing at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona, and Patrick AFB, Florida. AFR 

HH-60G Pave Hawk search and rescue helicopters have had three to four aircraft continually 

deployed to Afghanistan from May 2011 to June 2012. During this time, volunteer and mobilized 

AFR crews and maintainers launched over 2,400 sorties logging 1,500 hours. During this period, 

they were credited with over 800 saves and 860 assists. 

The HC-130N/P conducts day or night operations to affect the recovery of downed aircrews or 

other isolated personnel from hostile or denied environments during war. They may provide air 

refueling of recovery force helicopters and tactical delivery via airdrop or airland of rescue 

personnel watercraft, all-terrain vehicles, and direct assistance in advance of recovery vehicles. 

Current AFR HC-130N/P inventory is based at the 920th Rescue Wing, Patrick AFB, Florida. 

The AFR HC-130 fleet is currently integrating a state-of-the-art integrated electronic warfare 

suite. 

Guardian Angel (GA) is an Air Force weapon system consisting of combat rescue officers; 

pararescuemen; and survival, evasion, resistance, and escape (SERE) specialists operating 

together to provide a dedicated capability to locate and recover isolated personnel in support of 

combat search and rescue and personnel recovery programs. Air Force Reserve GA personnel 

and equipment are assigned to the 920th Rescue Wing, Patrick AFB, Florida. Subordinate 920th 

Rescue Wing GA units are located at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona and Portland IAP, Oregon. 

Guardian Angel capability is in need of funding to replace and upgrade existing communication 

and self-defense systems. 

c. Agile Combat Support (ACS) 

Agile Combat Support, as an AF core function, supports and enables all other Air Force core 

functions. The AFR provides a significant portion of that deployable combat support capability 

to the AF: 

 15 percent of the AF’s explosive ordnance disposal capability 

 15 percent of the AF’s Prime Base Engineer Emergency Force (Prime BEEF) civil 

engineer capability 

 27 percent of the AF’s Rapid Engineer Deployable Heavy Operations Repair Squadron 

Engineers heavy construction capability 
5-23 

 12 percent of the AF’s Security Forces capability. 

Multi-year NGREA purchases of weapons and night vision equipment since FY 2010, including 

$6.5M across FY 2011 and FY 2012, ensure AFR Airmen are trained and qualified on modern 

tactical suites and fully prepared for mobilization to relieve high AC dwell rates. 

Major ACS vehicle procurements integrate with CAF and MAF modernization efforts that 

support Reserve contributions to AF missions. Other AF priorities have increased pressure on the 

vehicle replacement account, with FY 2012 and FY 2013 cuts affecting all components. At the 

beginning of FY 2012, the AFR vehicle fleet was older than the AF fleet in five categories: 

passenger vehicles, cargo carriers, materials handling equipment, runway clearing vehicles, and 

construction equipment. In addition to vehicle requirements to support continental U.S. base 

operations, NGREA investments have supported procurement of tactical training vehicles that 

enable Selected Reserve (SELRES) civil engineering personnel to attain and maintain 

qualification on expeditionary construction equipment. Several efforts between AFR and the 

Warner Robins Air Logistics Center (WR-ALC) partially mitigated the effects of fleet age and 

shortfalls. These effects include authorization reductions, transfers, and $10.4M of FY 2011 and 

FY 2010 Air Force funding. However, the total AFR vehicle procurement shortfall remains $8.1M 

as of July 2012. 

2. Current Status of Equipment 

a. Equipment On-hand 

Table 1 provides projected RC major equipment requirements and on-hand inventories to meet 

assigned missions. These platforms include air refueling, air support, airlift, bomber, fighter, and 

rescue aircraft.

b. Average Age of Major Items of Equipment 

The average age of Air Force Reserve aircraft ranges from 10 years for the C-40Cs to 55 years 

for KC-135s and B-52s. As these averages increase, there is a direct correlation to a demand for 

more Operation and Maintenance funding to preserve the capability. The following factors drive 

this increased funding demand: 1) disappearing vendors, as a result of industry shifts to newer 

aircraft, create a greater cost for replacement parts as items exceed their projected life cycle, 

2) operational costs of these less-efficient aircraft drive up flying hour costs, and 3) mean-timebetween-failure worsens as aircraft age. These factors combine to increase the maintenance 

burden and simultaneously decrease aircraft availability, and must be addressed to sustain the 

capabilities required to meet national defense demands. 

See Table 2 for the average age of major equipment items as of the beginning of FY 2014. 

c. Compatibility of Current Equipment with AC 

Air Force Reserve equipment requires compatibility with the AC to support applicable AF 

missions, with the exception of “unique” missions performed by the AFR (e.g., weather, aerial 

spray, and aerial firefighting). This compatibility with the AC is also critical to ensuring the 

SELRES has the ability to train to AC standards and be ready to operate with AC counterparts. 

With Congressional funding received to date, the AFR is able to keep its mission equipment 

compatible with the AC. 
5-24 

d. Maintenance Issues 

The Air Force has an ongoing A-10 wing replacement program to replace 242 legacy thin-skin 

wings. Boeing, who produces the replacement wings, encountered technical and production 

difficulties, which subsequently impacted initial deliveries. With 117 wings purchased and one 

wing delivered in 2011, Congress reduced the program’s FY 2012 funding and cut 40 wings 

from the baseline. Independent of Congressional action, Headquarters Air Force further reduced 

FY 2013 funding by 21 wings and FY 2014 funding by 27 wings. Lost funding was partially 

restored through the FY 2013 Restore Force Structure funding in the FY 2013 NDAA; however, 

the baseline remains approximately 46 wings short of threshold requirements (228) to maintain 

the fleet of record. In 2013, the Air Force determined legacy thin-skin wing repair was too costly 

to continue. Thin-skin wing repair concludes in FY 2014, leaving only legacy thick-skin wings 

and new wings to sustain the fleet. Sufficient new wings are available to sustain depot 

requirements during this transition period. 

e. Modernization Programs and Shortfalls 

The AFR’s list of modernization shortfalls stresses aircraft defense, safety, and data link 

communications. The following paragraphs provide highlights, and Table 8 lists shortfalls identified 

through the AFR corporate process and the AFR FY 2015 Equipment Modernization List. 

Modernization of aircraft is required to maintain or reverse degraded capabilities due to materiel 

age or obsolescence. Major AFR MAF programs include Large Aircraft Infrared 

Countermeasures (LAIRCM), modular aerial spray systems, secure communication upgrades, 

and electronics upgrades. Major AFR CAF modernization programs include helmet-mounted 

targeting systems, avionics and display updates, commercial fire control computers, propeller 

systems, hostile fire indication systems, mission data recording systems, rotor brakes, and 

Guardian Angel equipment. These efforts directly address capability shortfalls identified by 

theater combatant commanders during combat operations. 

LAIRCM are necessary to provide an integral self-protection system that also complements 

flare-based defensive systems currently used and provides increased protection against advanced 

and emerging infrared missile threats. This requirement was established in 1998 by the LAIRCM 

Operational Requirements Document 314-92 for C-5s, C-17s, C-130s, and KC-135s. 

The AFR will continue to equip C-130s in FY 2014 with the Real Time Information in the 

Cockpit (RTIC) data link system. These are upgrades with ARC-210 and Situational Awareness 

Data Link (SADL) radios to provide crews with advanced SLOS and BLOS communications 

situational awareness and the ability to be dynamically mission re-tasked. This NGREA-funded 

capability was identified as a combatant commander urgent operational need after program 

initiation. 

AFR F-16s from Homestead AFB, Florida and Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth, Texas have 

entered the depot to receive HMIT and Center Display Unit upgrades to support a fall 2013 

deployment to Afghanistan. Essential aircraft upgrades still required are radar improvements to 

allow all-weather attack of ground targets, upgraded missile warning systems, and improved jamresistant Global Positioning System (GPS). 
5-25 

The primary critical need for AFR A-10s is modernization of cockpit avionics and displays and 

an improved electronic warfare defensive suite. A-10s from Whiteman AFB, Missouri, are 

processing through the depot to receive the HMIT and the LARS v12 combat search and rescue 

upgrade. These new capabilities will be in place to support an AFR spring 2014 AEF rotation to 

Afghanistan. 

AFR GA units require training equipment, such as water rescue crafts for use in extreme climates 

during intensive training and contingency operations. Other ongoing programs include 

equipment modernization for short-wave infrared night vision devices, weapons accessories, 

communication equipment, replacements for rigged alternate method zodiac (RAMZ) drop 

packages and personal protective equipment. As a dynamic mission, GA tactics and capabilities 

requirements constantly change with the operational environment to meet combatant commander 

needs. 

AFR personnel recovery aircraft need hostile fire indication systems to counter the increasing 

threat from rocket-propelled grenades, anti-aircraft artillery, heavy machine guns, anti-tank 

guided missiles, and even small arms. This modification upgrades AAR-47 sensors in five 

HC-130s and 15 HH-60s, increasing the probability of hostile ground fire detection, and enabling 

the aircrew to take evasive maneuvers and increase aircraft survivability. In addition, AFR 

HH-60G helicopters are among the few helicopters in the personnel recovery community that do 

not possess rotor brakes required for safe shipboard operations. These brakes limit the time 

required to spin up or slow down the rotor system on a ship’s deck and increase safety for ground 

personnel from spinning rotor blades during maritime operations. FY 2013 NGREA funds have 

been allocated to this program for upgrade of 15 HH-60G aircraft. 

The C-130 Modular Aerial Spray System (MASS) is over 20 years old, no longer in production, 

and becoming increasingly more difficult and expensive to maintain. A program has been 

initiated for FY 2014 funding to design and procure a replacement MASS for six C-130H 

aircraft. This improves system reliability and spray accuracy to meet current and future aerial 

spray applications directed by the Center for Disease Control, Homeland Defense, and DoD. 

AFR C-130s and HC-130s are in need of various propeller systems to increase aircraft 

survivability and performance. The AFR will install modern high-performance propellers, 

propeller control systems, and in-flight propeller balancing systems for 48 aircraft to increase 

engine efficiency, decrease sustainment costs, and increase mission capable rates. 

The unique mission profiles flown by the AFR WC-130Js revealed a critical communication 

capability shortfall. The satellite phone solution, identified by the AFR and WR-ALC, will 

resolve the communication shortfall and enhance the capability and safety of flight for this 

national weather reconnaissance capability. 

The new LITENING Generation Four (G4) pod has proved to be a tactical and technological 

success, and the AFR is continuing to upgrade all of its LITENING ATPs to G4 configuration on 

the F-16, A-10, and B-52 aircraft. 

AFR B-52s are in need of Digital Mission Data Recorders to maintain combat effectiveness and 

effectively accomplish its Formal Training Unit mission. Legacy equipment is no longer 
5-26 

supportable due to a lack of available repair sources. The AFR is working with the system 

program office to develop the required performance work statement to fulfill this shortfall. 

Finally, AFR support equipment has a current shortfall of approximately $115M for sustainment 

across all functional areas within the command. Assets required include maintenance stands, 

avionics test stations, tow bars, radios, small arms, and night vision devices. Support equipment 

fill rates and readiness will remain on par with the AC and achieve the reset to the new strategy, 

defined in Sustaining Global Leadership: Priorities for the 21st Century Defense, given a 

sustained baseline. Recent efforts to improve execution of the AFR’s buy list with WR-ALC 

resulted in procurement of water jet cutters. Strategic airlift units no longer have to wait for 

contractors or depots to manufacture parts, saving Operation and Maintenance funds and 

improving aircraft availability of C-5 and C-17 aircraft. 

B. Changes since the Last NGRER 

The force structure changes announced with the FY 2013 President’s Budget (PB) included Air 

Force plans to retire 82 AFR aircraft in the next few years in AL, AR, CA, GA, LA, MA, MN, 

MS, NY, NC, OH, OK, PA, and TX. The FY 2014 PB plans to reduce the AFR by another 

10 aircraft in Mississippi. These actions reduce the AFR inventory by 71 airlift and aerialrefueling aircraft, as well as 21 fighter jets. This retires the AF’s oldest aircraft, makes room for 

newer models, and consolidates similar types of aircraft at common locations as much as 

possible. Additionally, some aircraft transfers for FY 2014 and later are on hold pending the 

outcome of the FY 2014 President’s Budget Request. 

Changes in the status of AFR equipment programs include the following: 

 The C-130 RTIC modification has been completed on six of AFR’s C-130 aircraft, five at 

the 910th Airlift Wing and one at the 914th Airlift Wing. RTIC has been utilized to 

resolve an urgent-operational-need request to provide SLOS and BLOS capability to the 

combatant commander. RTIC provides crews enhanced situational awareness capability 

during airlift, airdrop, and other operations. 

 The AFR Simulator and Distributed Mission Operations (DMO) program has made 

significant advancements this past year in providing better capability in the F-16C MultiTask Trainers (MTTs) and the A-10C Full Mission Trainers (FMTs). The 301st Fighter 

Wing, Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth, Texas, and 482nd Fighter Wing, Homestead ARB, 

Florida, have recently received delivery of a second fully upgraded F-16C MTT complete 

with state-of-the-art 360-degree visual display systems. The expected delivery date for 

the third and fourth simulators at each of these locations simulators will be November 

2014. 

 AFR A-10Cs will also receive the Lightweight Airborne Radio System Version 12 

(LARS v12) upgrade in two 442nd Fighter Wing, Whiteman AFB, Missouri FMTs, 

which will provide a quantum leap in downed aircrew search and rescue capability. The 

LARS v12 upgrade was funded in May 2013. 
5-27 

 The A-10/F-16 Block HMIT entered production in 2012. AFR A-10 installs began in 

December 2012, and 20 aircraft have been completed as of July 2013. AFR F-16 HMIT 

installs began in June 2013 and are projected to be complete by May 2014. 

 The F-16 Center Display Unit places a smart color multi-function display on the center 

pedestal. The Center Display Unit will reduce maintenance and significantly increase 

aircraft processing capacity. Depot installs began in January 2013. 

 F-16 Software Capability Upgrade 8.0 (SCU 8) began fleet-wide installation in February 

2013. In addition to incorporating HMIT and Center Display Unit functionality, SCU 8 

also brings LITENING G4 and Advanced Targeting Pod capability, digital Ethernet 

connectivity, advanced medium-range air-to-air missile (AMRAAM) AIM-120D and 

AIM-9X digital integration, and many other refinements to the aircraft operational flight 

program. 

 Completion of the A-10C Operational Flight Program Suite 7.b in conjunction with the 

installation of HMIT and LARS v12, significantly increases search and rescue capability 

and integrates LITENING G4 and ATP as well. While at the depot, the obsolete Pave 

Penny system will also be removed to open up space in the avionics bay, reduce aircraft 

drag, and save money and time by eliminating future system maintenance. 

 Contract Award for the procurement of 12 new LITENING Advanced Targeting Pods–

Sensor Enhanced (ATP-SE) for CAF aircraft occurred in September 2013. The total cost 

for this effort includes cost for new pods, spares and containers, activation, and one 

month of availability support. Four remaining Block One to G4 upgrades are scheduled 

for contract award in December 2013. AFR is anticipating merging its buy with the ANG 

to meet minimum buy quantity pricing. Following this, the G4 to ATP-SE kit upgrades 

are expected to begin in FY 2014.

5. Equipment Shortages and Modernization Shortfalls at the End of FY 2017 

Tables 1 and 8 provide AFR equipment inventories, shortfalls, and modernization requirements.

D. Summary 

Effective modernization is the key to not only maintaining the ability to meet contingency taskings, 

but also to improving the capability of the warfighter. This is more important as sequestration 

and other budget considerations drive new system acquisitions further into the future, resulting in 

the demand to upgrade and sustain AFR legacy systems. The AFR receives modernization 

funding through two primary sources, the Air Force Budget and NGREA, along with any 

Congressional funding additions. The AFR continues to focus on increased capability through 

modernization of training and mission platforms as well as installation sustainment. Critical 

capabilities include modular aerial spray systems, secure communication upgrades, large aircraft 

infrared countermeasures, electronics upgrades, avionics and display updates, helmet-mounted 

targeting systems, commercial fire control computers, mission data recording systems, advanced 

identification of friend or foe systems, Guardian Angel equipment, and vehicle procurements. 

In summary, the AFR is committed to improving its execution of NGREA funds to accelerate 

needed capabilities to its Airmen. It continues to focus on improving defensive systems and 

communication capabilities without neglecting other modernization requirements. Furthermore, 

the Air Force Reserve continues to work with partner commands, particularly Air Combat 

Command and Air Mobility Command, to ensure requirements are fully defined prior to 

allocating NGREA funds. It also works closely with Air Force Materiel Command to improve 

acquisition planning. While additional work remains to be completed, improved planning and 

communication continues to bear fruit for improved NGREA obligation rates for AFR programs.

Chapter 6

United States Coast Guard Reserve 

I. Coast Guard Overview 

Since 1790, the Coast Guard (CG) has conducted integrated and layered 

operations across vast geographic maritime areas of responsibility to meet the 

evolving threats and challenges facing the Nation. The CG operates in the 

maritime domain—an enormous and complex environment. The physical 

characteristics of the sea present varying, dynamic, and dangerous water conditions. Human 

activity on the water continues to expand in a domain that does not readily sustain it. The 

maritime industry continues to evolve as the world remains fully dependent on global maritime 

trade in an advancing technology and information age. Varied and overlapping international and 

sovereign legal and policy regimes governing the maritime domain pose practical operational 

challenges. The role of the CG is enduring, while at the same time never being more relevant or 

more in demand, with long-standing responsibilities accrued over more than two centuries of 

service. The CG is currently organized into six programs, which are critical to achieving specific 

Quadrennial Homeland Security Review goals and objectives and advancing national priorities 

that together define the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) missions. Table 6-1 below lists 

these six programs and their relationship to the Coast Guard’s eleven statutory missions.

As described in the United States Coast Guard 2013 Posture Statement, the CG is unique in its 

status as both a federal law enforcement agency and at all times an armed force. The CG actively 

participates in defense operations and supports geographic combatant commanders (GCCs) by 

providing capabilities and resources in support of naval forces, including port operations and defense, 

maritime interception operations, and international training in support of theater security cooperation. 
6-2 

Throughout America’s maritime 

communities and the Exclusive Economic 

Zone, risk reduction and prosperity are 

enabled by the CG’s vigilant safety and 

security presence. With nearly 90 percent 

of all global trade transported by sea, the 

CG continuously deploys its highlytrained forces to both develop and 

strengthen partnerships across the entire maritime domain. These partnerships allow a rapid and 

organized mobilization of critical response assets to where and when the Nation requires. The 

CG ensures the restoration of commerce following natural and manmade disasters and assists 

partner agencies in emergency response, conducting damage surveys from air and sea. CG 

personnel, both Active Component (AC) and Reserve Component (RC), were among the first 

responders to large scale disasters such as Hurricane Katrina, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, 

and Hurricane Sandy. 

The CG’s distinct blend of authorities, capabilities, competencies, and partnerships provide the 

capability to support a range of operations that ensure safety, security, and stewardship in the 

maritime domain. Representing the United States in the International Maritime Organization, the 

CG leads and advocates improvements to international maritime standards. The CG regularly 

participates in joint interoperability exercises and training to maintain international partnerships, 

along with those competencies required to execute the most challenging maritime security 

missions, including missions that support the requirements of the GCCs. Since September 2001, 

the CG has provided personnel and equipment domestically for contingency response operations 

and in support of Maritime Homeland Security requirements. 

The CG also performs global 

missions in support of GCC 

operational plans, their primary 

expeditionary resources being eight 

CG Port Security Units (PSUs) that 

operate under the Navy 

Expeditionary Combat Command 

and are often embedded within the 

Navy’s Coastal Riverine Force 

(CRF). These CG PSUs are unique 

because they are principally 

Reserve-staffed units, consisting of 

only six AC personnel within a 150 total complement. 

Another Reserve-staffed unit within the CG is the Mobile Support Unit (MSU), a Reserve unit 

managed by the CG Surface Forces Logistics Center, and comprised mainly of machinery 

technicians. This unit is specifically designed to provide for the logistical needs of patrol boats 

deployed to regions lacking any base of operations. The MSU is responsible for logistical 

support operations anywhere in the world where CG 110’ Island Class cutters are involved, such 

as current operations with Patrol Forces Southwest Asia, Bahrain. 
6-3 

A. Coast Guard Planning Guidance 

To meet the challenges of the dynamic maritime environment, the CG executes a layered, securityin-depth concept of operations, built upon a multi-dimensional framework of authorities, capabilities, 

competencies, and partnerships to apply its core operational concept of prevention and response. 

Through this approach, the Service seeks to prevent dangerous or illicit maritime activities and to 

rapidly and effectively respond to protect the Nation, minimize impacts, and recover. 

Coast Guardsmen successfully conduct operations across the mission spectrum in the full range 

of environmental conditions. Throughout history, the CG has adapted to changing operational 

environments and new mission priorities. 

B. Coast Guard Equipping Policy 

Equipment used for CG domestic operations is provided through the DHS budget. The CG’s AC 

owns and manages all equipment, including equipment that is allocated for the RC. The AC 

provides equipment for CG Reserve mobilizations or surge operations using existing unit 

inventories, supporting units, or through procurement procedures using the DHS budget. 

Specific equipment for the CG to utilize while performing defense operations in support of 

overseas contingency operations (OCO) has been funded by DoD through the OCO budget 

allocation to the CG. This equipment includes boats, spare parts, communications gear, and other 

special purpose equipment (personnel protective equipment, ISU-90 shipping containers, 

uniforms, etc.) that are interoperable with the U.S. Navy and allied forces and meet DoD 

requirements. The CG Reserve primary end users of DoD OCO-funded equipment are the eight 

PSUs, which deploy in support of the GCCs on a rotating basis, or in response to major world 

events involving our Nation’s Armed Forces. 

C. Plan to Fill Mobilization Shortages in the RC 

In FY 2013, approximately 935 Selected Reserve 

(SELRES) personnel were mobilized in support of 

OCO, compared to 955 in FY 2012. The majority of 

these mobilized personnel provided security for 

military outload operations within the continental 

United States (CONUS). Others served as members of 

PSUs operating outside CONUS in support of GCC 

operations. 

In order for the CG Reserve to remain a ready 

operational force that can support and perform CG 

missions, the AC must fully fund and provide all 

necessary equipment for RC training and augmentation 

during daily operations, and mobilizations or surges. 

While the CG Reserve did not reduce total end strength 

in FY 2013, future budget predictions indicate that workforce reductions in FY 2014 and beyond 

may occur. Consequently, consideration must be taken in planning towards future budget years 

to preserve resources for sufficient training and to prevent a “hollow force” that could be ill 

prepared to respond to contingencies. 
6-4 

D. Initiatives Affecting RC Equipment 

The PSUs and MSUs maintain a constant state of readiness to deploy for “all threats and all 

hazards” in support of the GCCs as well as CG port security missions—their ability to deploy is 

dependent on the availability of AC and DoD-funded training platforms and equipment for 

operations. For the CG to sustain and support DoD efforts, additional funding is required to 

secure additional Reserve training platforms. 

DoD’s transition out of Afghanistan requires the 

CG’s Redeployment Assistance and Inspection 

Detachment (RAID) teams, comprised of RC and 

AC personnel. These RAID teams deploy 

overseas to prepare, inspect, and placard military 

equipment and shipping containers before they 

are shipped back to the U.S. or to other locations. 

The RAID teams are an important asset to DoD 

for meeting mission requirements entailing 

shipping equipment. In FY 2013, RAID teams 

completed 319 missions in Afghanistan, 

inspected 9,000 containers in Afghanistan and 

Kuwait, reviewed or generated 2,160 hazardous 

material shipping documents, and trained more than 2,400 personnel on hazardous material 

shipping. The RAID teams work from three bases in Afghanistan and one base in Kuwait. They 

require funding for operations and equipment to sustain recovery of shipments. 

Approximately 82 percent of the SELRES force is directly assigned to AC units. These 

Reservists train and perform their duties alongside AC personnel, executing daily operations to 

meet CG missions. The remaining 18 percent are assigned to CG Deployable Specialized Forces, 

e.g., PSUs or DoD units. The GCC contingency plans validate requirements for deployable CG 

units. These units include PSUs, RAID teams, Strike Teams, MSUs, and the Navy’s CRF. 
6-5 

II. Coast Guard Reserve Overview 

A. Current Status of the Coast Guard Reserve 

1. General Overview 

The Coast Guard Reserve (CGR) supports three core 

strategic functions: maritime homeland security, 

national defense (domestic and expeditionary), and 

domestic disaster operations. As an integrated force 

multiplier, CGR personnel serve alongside AC 

members in support of DHS programs and CG 

statutory missions. 

The Coast Guard Reserve provides the Service’s “in-garrison” surge workforce capability to 

effectively execute its missions and respond to natural disasters. To build a more proficient, 

ready force, the CGR developed two important initiatives: the Concept of Reserve Employment 

(CORE) and the Reserve Force Readiness System (RFRS). 

CORE is doctrine developed to build Reserve force capabilities that support the CGR’s strategic 

functions and ensures that Reservists are ready to mobilize with critical competencies in boat 

operations, contingency planning and response, expeditionary warfare, marine safety, port 

security, law enforcement, and mission support. RFRS was designed to bridge readiness, 

training, and force employment gaps that emerged after Reserve integration occurred in 1995. 

RFRS assists with prudent strategic planning and defines requirements to ensure disciplined 

management of the Reserve force. Together, CORE and RFRS produce highly-trained and wellqualified personnel to respond to all threats and all hazards at all times. 

The RC is comprised of 8,100 funded billets or positions, which is approximately 20 percent of 

the CG’s total force strength. The CG Reserve Training Appropriation for FY 2013 provided 

$131.4M for necessary expenses as authorized by law, which include operations, administration 

and maintenance of the Reserve program, personnel and training costs, and services. The 

Reserve Training Appropriation does not provide funding for personal property equipment and 

machinery assets such as boats, vehicles, boat 

engines, and rescue equipment. 

2. Status of Equipment

25’ TPSB, Generation III 32’ TPSB, Generation IV 

The TPSB is operated by Coast Guard PSUs for defense operations providing waterborne 

security and point defense operations. In FY 2013, the Coast Guard completed a transition from 

the 25’ TPSB (Generation III) to the 32’ TPSB (Generation IV). The new TPSB offers 

significant advantages over its predecessor, including increased sea keeping, shock-mitigated 

seating, diesel propulsion, and enhanced communication and navigation capabilities. The CG 

operates 52 TPSBs at the PSUs (6 TPSBs per PSU) and at the Special Missions Training Center 

(SMTC) in Camp LeJeune, North Carolina. 

 

25’ RB-S, Generation I 29’ RB-S, Generation II 

The RB-S serves as a mobilization platform for Reservists assigned to Coast Guard stations 

throughout the Nation and to domestic military outload security operations involving the 

protection of DoD high-value assets. The Coast Guard continues recapitalization of its RB-S fleet 

with production of the 29’ RB-S (Generation II). There are 457 RB-S boats assigned to Boat 

Stations, Maritime Safety and Security Teams (MSSTs), and Marine Safety Units throughout the 

Coast Guard. 

b. Average Age of Major Items of Equipment 

Table 2 provides the projected average age of equipment at the start of FY 2014. 

c. Compatibility of Current Equipment with AC 

PSUs are primary inshore/harbor surface interdiction response assets that conduct the overseas 

Naval Coastal Warfare mission of harbor defense/port security operations. They also support 

domestic Ports, Waterways, and Coastal Security and contingency operations in response to 

natural disasters or national emergencies. Due to their unique mission requirements, TPSBs are 
6-7 

maintained mostly at PSUs. However, SMTC maintains four TPSBs used to fulfill training 

requirements. The communications and weapons systems, as well as navigation packages, are the 

same as those found in the AC and require periodic maintenance, upgrades, and repairs. 

All other platforms and equipment used by the RC are shared with the AC. 

d. Maintenance Issues 

Units maintain an adequate preventative maintenance schedule but, in some cases, aged 

equipment such as high-mileage vehicles, tents, etc., require replacement, not maintenance. 

e. Modernization Programs and Shortfalls 

The CG continues to pursue replacement of its aging assets. As boat platforms, weapons, and 

other equipment are replaced, the RC will require additional training to become proficient on the 

new equipment and maintain operational readiness. 

The CG Small Boat Product Line continues working toward fully integrated logistics support for 

the next generation of TPSB and RB-S boat platforms. 

Reserve program staff and capability managers are working towards a major weapons transition 

for PSUs. PSUs are currently issued the M16A2 rifle, which is no longer used or supported by 

DoD and provides severe logistical challenges while deployed in support of GCCs for operations 

and joint DoD and host nation exercises. It’s imperative that the CG align with the Joint Forces 

standard rifle, and subsequently, the DoD logistical infrastructure. Similarly, PSUs must 

transition to the 9mm pistol to meet NATO weapons requirements and align with DoD 

components while deployed overseas. PSUs are logistically constrained with their current use of 

the .40 caliber pistol due to restrictions for shipping and follow-on procurement of ammunition. 

Modernization and upgrades to communications equipment will ensure interoperability with 

DoD. Secure and non-secure data in the field is a required capability in modern military 

operations, and PSUs require the organic capability to transmit, receive, and process both 

unclassified and classified data. 

f. Overall Equipment Readiness 

Recapitalization and sustainment of PSU equipment is a recurring challenge. Twelve years of 

high operating-tempo deployments and re-deployments for GCCs in support of Operation Iraqi 

Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, Operation Restore Hope, and several CONUS 

operations such as Operation Noble Eagle and contingencies such as Hurricane Katrina, have left 

the CG’s eight PSUs with depleted consumables and other repair supplies and major equipment 

that have exceeded their scheduled operational life or have prematurely exceeded wear and tear 

thresholds. The sustained high operating tempo has yielded a wealth of data from casualty and 

mishap reports, and other operational reporting, which justify changes and refinements to the 

current PSU Table of Allowance. One example (cited in paragraph “e” above) is the apparent 

need to align small arms, ammunition, and digitally encrypted voice and data transmission 

resources to other DoD units that PSUs have either been attached to or operated alongside of 

within Joint Security Areas. Other feedback has demonstrated that original PSU equipment or 

operational logistics support has partially failed in a real world test of PSU readiness and 
6-8 

sustained operations in theater. Examples 

are the lack of required organic unit assets 

to support movement: an all terrain forklift, 

portable scales, suitable weatherproof 

containers, and other portable operational 

support resources. Finally, the PSU 

program recently began a critical small boat 

acquisition program (TPSB Generation IV) 

that is at the beginning of its lifecycle. The 

initial procurement phase ends when crews 

are properly trained to effectively operate 

the new boat. This acquisition program 

requires ongoing support to operation and 

maintenance budgets to ensure operability of the new boat platforms on a routine basis. 

Maximum availability of operational boats for seamanship and gunnery training is imperative for 

RC personnel to attain required qualifications, especially due to the minimal number of training 

days allotted per month/year. 

B. Changes since the Last NGRER 

The Reserve Training Appropriation overall was reduced from $134M in FY 2012 to $131.4M in 

FY 2013. Appropriation funding decreases negatively impact RC training opportunities and 

mobilization readiness. 

FY 2012 saw a 10 percent increase in the personal protective equipment (PPE) shortfall for 

mission execution required by billets. This shortfall continued through FY 2013, and PPE price 

increases raised the PPE shortfall from approximately $549K in FY 2012 to $620K in FY 2013. 

Twenty-four Generation III TPSBs were withdrawn from PSU inventories during FY 2013 

because they were replaced with the Generation IV TPSBs. 

In FY 2013, PSUs procured eight mobile field kitchens and eight water buffalos, and began 

replacing outdated forklifts with transportable all-terrain forklifts. 

C. Future Years Program (FY 2015–FY 2017) 

1. FY 2017 Equipment Requirements 

Table 1 provides projected FY 2015–FY 2017 inventories and requirements for major 

equipment. All equipment is procured and accounted for by the AC.

2. Anticipated New Equipment Procurements 

For PSUs to align with their DoD counterparts, all eight of the PSUs need to replace their current 

inventory of M16A2 rifles with M4 rifles, and replace the .40 caliber sidearm pistol with a 9mm 

DoD-compatible model pistol. 

SMTC will procure three Environmental Control Units (ECUs) (HP-2C/388 IPT) at a cost of 

approximately $392K in FY 2015. 
6-9 

3. Anticipated Withdrawals from RC Inventory 

In FY 2015, two ECUs (T2-93040G) will be withdrawn from the SMTC inventory. 

4. Remaining Equipment Shortages and Modernization Shortfalls at the End of FY 2017 

Tables 1 and 8 provide RC equipment inventories, shortfalls, and modernization requirements. 

CG unit operations and maintenance fund managers include PPE in annual budget requests. In 

recent years, budget constraints have created a gap between the amount of funding available and 

the amount required. Funding for PPE is based on a four-year cycle, which provides the unit 

enough funding to fully outfit each member with new/serviceable equipment at the end of a fouryear period. The four-year cycle was developed in part based on the equipment service life and 

member assignments or transfers. 

The AC provides PPE for both AC and RC personnel using its operations and maintenance 

funds. The Reserve Training Appropriation does not pay for PPE. Approximately 5,100 billets, 

or 65 percent, of the RC have mobilization requirements that require PPE to safely conduct CG 

operations. The annual shortfall in PPE for RC personnel is estimated to be approximately $1.05M. 

Table 6-2 provides the FY 2014 PPE funding shortfall. The absence of PPE funding impedes 

Reserve mobilization readiness. Reservists who are not properly outfitted are unable to safely 

perform CG operations, which renders them unable to achieve or maintain mobilization 

competencies. FY 2014 PPE funding is based on a four-year replacement cycle.

D. Summary 

The CGR is a flexible and responsive operational force that exists to support the CG roles of 

maritime homeland security, national defense (domestic and expeditionary), and domestic 

disaster operations. The CG depends on the Reserve force to be ready to mobilize with critical 

competencies in boat operations, contingency planning and response, expeditionary warfare, 

marine safety, port security, law enforcement, and mission support. Sustaining an effective 

operational reserve requires ongoing funding for training and equipment. Declining budgets 

ultimately impact training capacity and operational readiness. Since the RC is fully integrated 

with the AC (PSUs being the only exception), daily operational needs of both components limit 

the availability of platforms and equipment for Reserve training, qualification, and certification, 

which further impacts Reserve readiness and, thereby, overall Coast Guard readiness.

Appendix A 

Report Requirements, Terminology, and Definitions 

I. Report Requirements 

A. Overview of Statutory Requirement 

The DoD Authorization Act of 1982 (Public Law 97-86), as amended, established the 

requirement for DoD to provide an annual report to the Congress, by March 15th of each year, 

on the status of National Guard and Reserve equipment; hereafter referred to as the NGRER. The 

Goldwater-Nichols DoD Reorganization Act of 1986 amended Title 10 of the United States 

Code (U.S.C.) placing the reporting requirement under Section 115(b). The Congress in Public 

Law 103-337 transferred reporting requirements to a new Subtitle E, Reserve Components, Part 

I, Chapter 1013, which was re-designated Section 10541. In compliance with the FY 1993 

National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), Section 1134, Title XI, the NGRER was expanded 

to include a description of the current status of equipment incompatibility between the Active 

Component (AC) and Reserve Component (RC), the effect of that level of incompatibility, and 

the plan to achieve full compatibility. Finally, the FY 2008 NDAA, Sections 351(a), 351(c)(1), 

and 1826 added additional National Guard equipment reporting requirements to the NGRER. 

Sections 351(a) and 351(c)(1) added the requirement for an assessment of the extent to which the 

National Guard possesses the equipment required to suppress insurrections (10 U.S.C. §§ 331–

333), provide assistance in cases of weapons of mass destruction or terrorist attacks (10 U.S.C. § 

12304(b)), or to repel invasions, suppress rebellions, or execute the laws of the United States (10 

U.S.C. § 12406) in an emergency or major disaster. Section 1826 required a statement of the 

accuracy of past National Guard equipment inventory projections, and a certification from the 

Chief of the National Guard Bureau setting forth the inventory of equipment items that were due 

to be procured in the preceding fiscal year, but were not received. 

This report is prepared by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs 

with the assistance of the Department of the Army, the Department of the Navy, the Department 

of the Air Force, and the Department of Homeland Security (United States Coast Guard). 

B. Current Law 

The section below is an excerpt from Section 10541, Title 10, U.S.C. Changes required by the 

FY 2008 NDAA are highlighted.

II. Report Objective 

Based upon the law, the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs 

(Materiel & Facilities), with concurrence from all Services, has identified the following 

objectives: 

 Provide the Services’ plan to equip their Reserve forces in a time of constrained DoD 

budgets. 

 Concentrate on FY 2015–FY 2017 RC requirements, procurements and changes. 

 Provide an overview of current RC equipment from three perspectives: 

 current status of equipment on-hand. 

 future year equipment procurements for FY 2015–FY 2017 

 remaining shortfall for FY 2017 and beyond. 

 Focus primarily on major items of equipment. 
A-4 

III. Report Contents 

A. Overview (Chapter 1) 

Chapter 1 presents a composite DoD perspective on National Guard and Reserve equipment and 

serves as the executive summary of the report. 

B. Service Narratives and Data Tables (Chapters 2–6) 

Chapters 2 through 6 present the status of each Service and their respective RC in terms of RC 

equipping policies and methodologies. Each chapter contains a Service and RC overview, and 

includes a discussion of current equipment status, future equipment procurements, and remaining 

shortfalls and unfunded requirements. Each chapter includes a review of the current status of 

equipment compatibility and interoperability between the AC and the RC of each Service, the 

effect of that level of compatibility/interoperability, and a plan to achieve full 

compatibility/interoperability. 

RC data tables for each Service contain specific information on major items of equipment 

selected for review in this report and are placed at the end of each RC narrative section. The 

NGRER articulates data in eight tables (Tables 1-8) for each RC. In a situation where data tables 

are not applicable to a particular RC, a blank page has been inserted to note that table data is not 

applicable. The “Data Table Explanation” at the end of this section defines the data contained in 

Tables 1-8. 

IV. Terminology and Definitions 

Major Items of Equipment include aircraft, tanks, ships, trucks, engineer equipment and major 

items of support equipment. These items normally will include large dollar value requirements, 

critical RC shortages, Service and NGREA procured items, and any RC specific item which the 

Chief of the specific RC wishes to highlight. 

Required Quantity is the total number of an item required to be on-hand or available to RC units 

to go to war and accomplish their missions. This includes requirements for war reserve and other 

stocks. The simplified term “requirement,” as used in this report, is synonymous with “full 

wartime requirement,” and satisfies the requirement in Title 10 to provide a “recommendation” 

as to the type and quantity of equipment needed in RC inventories. 

On-hand Quantity is the equipment physically on-hand in RC or AC units or in war reserve and 

other stocks specifically designed for wartime use by the RC or AC. 

Deployable Item is an item which, considering its suitability, operability, compatibility and 

supportability, will provide an expected degree of mission success sufficient to warrant its 

wartime operational employment. 

Compatibility/Interoperability denotes the capability of two items of equipment to operate 

together in the same environment without interfering with one another and without degrading 

function or unit capability. 
A-5 

Substitute Item is not the most desired item but based upon its capability can be employed in 

wartime in lieu of a combat essential required item of equipment. It may not function at the same 

level of capability as the item in the AC for which it is the substitute. 

Equipment Shortage (Shortfall) is the difference between the quantity required and the quantity 

on-hand, excluding substitute items and excess quantities beyond the required quantity. 

Modernization Shortfall is the difference between the required quantity of the most modern item 

and the on-hand quantity of that item. Modernization shortfalls are not necessarily equipment 

shortages as most Services substitute older versions of an item for the most modern item. 

Therefore, modernization shortfalls are shortages of the most modern item only, and can have a 

significant effect upon compatibility and interoperability. 

V. Data Tables 

A. Table Contents 

A separate set of Data Tables (Tables 1-8) is provided in Chapters 2 through 6 for each RC. 

These tables contain the required information relative to major items of equipment identified in 

the report. The following list identifies the separate data tables that are included in the report for 

each RC. 

 Table 1: Consolidated Major Item Inventory and Requirements (This is an all-inclusive 

table while other tables are subsets of Table 1.) 

 Table 2: Average Age of Equipment 

 Table 3: Service Procurement Program - Reserve (P-1R) 

 Table 4: National Guard and Reserve Equipment Appropriation (NGREA) Procurements 

 Table 5: Projected Equipment Transfer/Withdrawal Quantities 

 Table 6: FY 2011 Planned vs Actual Procurements and Transfers 

 Table 7: Major Item of Equipment Substitution List 

 Table 8: Significant Major Item Shortages 

B. Table Explanations 

The following paragraphs provide an explanation of the data table columns and data criteria by 

Table. 

Table 1: Consolidated Major Item Inventory and Requirements. This table provides a 

comprehensive list of selected major items of equipment the RC chooses to highlight, by 

providing key administrative data, on-hand inventories and wartime requirements. 

RC is the specific Reserve or National Guard entity, i.e., ARNG, USAR, USMCR, ANG, AFR, 

USNR, or USCGR. 
A-6 

Nomenclature is the description or common name of the item of equipment. 

Equipment Number is the individual Service equipment identification code: Line Item Number 

for the Army; Table of Authorized Materiel Control Number for the Marine Corps; Equipment 

Cost Code for Navy engineering items; and National Stock Number for the Air Force. 

Cost is the FY 2015 procurement cost per unit. If an item is no longer being procured, the 

inflation adjusted cost from the last procurement is shown. If an item is programmed for initial 

procurement beyond FY 2015, the data table depicts the projected unit cost at the time of 

procurement. 

Quantity On-hand (QTY O/H) is the actual/projected item count for a particular item of 

equipment at a specified time. 

Quantity Required (QTY REQ) is the authorized wartime requirement for a given item of 

equipment. 

Table 2: Average Age of Equipment. This table is a subset of Table 1 and highlights the 

average age of selected items of equipment. 

Average Age is the calculated age of a given item of equipment. Since equipment is normally 

procured over several years, this figure provides an average age of the fleet at the start of 

FY 2014. 

Table 3: Service Procurement Program - Reserve (P-1R). This table highlights items of 

equipment, which the Service intends to procure for their RC. The source of this data is the P-1R 

exhibit to the President’s Budget. 

Table 4: National Guard and Reserve Equipment Appropriation (NGREA) Procurements. 

This table highlights the items, which the RC plan on procuring with miscellaneous NGREA 

funds. Since these funds are available for three years, this table highlights those items in the 

current procurement cycle. 

Table 5: Projected Equipment Transfer/Withdrawal Quantities. This table portrays the 

planned equipment transfers (AC to RC), withdrawals, and decommissioning. Transfers are 

commonly called “cascaded” equipment or equipment that is provided to the RC once the AC 

receives more modern equipment items. Although this table highlights a three-year period, many 

Services do not know exact quantities of transfers or withdrawals until year of execution due to 

the uncertainty of the procurement/delivery cycle of new equipment. 

Table 6: FY 2011 Planned vs Actual Procurements and Transfers. This table compares what 

the Service planned to procure and transfer to the RC in FY 2011 with actual procurements and 

transfers. Since the procurement cycle is normally one to three years from funding to delivery, 

this table identifies only what has been delivered through the end of FY 2013. 

Planned Quantity is the item quantity the Service programmed to deliver to the RC as part of the 

budgeting process. 
A-7 

Actual Quantity is the item quantity the Service actually delivered or has in the procurement 

cycle to deliver to the RC. 

Table 7: Major Item of Equipment Substitution List. A list of equipment authorized by the 

Service to be used as a substitute for a primary item of equipment. This table also identifies 

whether this substitute item is suitable for deployment in time of war.

Nomenclature (Required Item/Substitute Item), see Table 1 description for nomenclature. 

Equipment Number (Required Item/Substitute Item), see Table 1 description for equipment 

number. 

Table 8: Significant Major Item Shortages. The top ten items of equipment and 

modernization/upgrades, which are not funded in the FY 2015–FY 2017 Future Years Defense 

Program, are listed in this table in priority order. If additional funds were to become available, 

the RC would apply those funds to the highest priority item on this list.

Appendix B

National Guard Readiness for Emergencies and Major Disasters 

I. FY 2008 National Defense Authorization Act Changes to the National Guard and 

Reserve Equipment Report (NGRER) 

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2008 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), Sections 351(a), 

351(c)(1), and 1826, added new reporting requirements for the status of National Guard (NG) 

equipment. This appendix provides the National Guard Bureau (NGB) response to each of the 

requirements of the NDAA. 

The Chief, National Guard Bureau (CNGB) must provide a statement of the accuracy of previous 

National Guard equipment inventory projections and an explanation of projections not met. 

Additionally, the FY 2008 NDAA requires the CNGB to certify the inventory of equipment 

items that were due to be procured for the NG in the preceding year, but were not received. 

The Vice Chief, NGB memorandum in Figure B-1 addresses the CNGB certification required by 

Section 1826 of the FY 2008 NDAA. 

Figure B-1. Vice Chief, NGB Memorandum 
B-2 

A. 2008 NDAA, Sections 351(a) and 351(c)(1), “Reports on National Guard Readiness for 

Emergencies and Major Disasters,” requires an assessment of the extent to which the 

National Guard possesses the equipment required to perform the responsibilities of the 

National Guard pursuant to sections 331, 332, 333, 12304(b), and 12406 of title 10, United 

States Code (U.S.C.), in response to an emergency or major disaster. 

1. Overview 

The equipment used by the National Guard to suppress insurrections (10 U.S.C. §§ 331–333), 

provide assistance in cases of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) or terrorist attacks 

(10 U.S.C. § 12304(b)), or to repel invasions, suppress rebellions, or execute the laws of the 

United States (10 U.S.C. § 12406) in an emergency or major disaster comes from three broad 

sources: dual-use equipment provided by the Army, dual-use equipment provided by the Air 

Force, and special government off-the-shelf (GOTS) or commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) 

equipment acquired via a variety of sources to meet unique tasks, conditions, or standards for 

disaster operations in the homeland. The latter are planned for and integrated by the NGB Joint 

Staff, but purchased by the Army National Guard (ARNG) and Air National Guard (ANG). 

It is DoD policy that, to the extent practicable, emergency or major disaster functions are 

performed using dual-use equipment. 

Following the 2012 full-operation-capability achievements for the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA) region-based 17 chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear 

(CBRN) and High-yield Explosives (CBRNE) Enhanced Response Force Packages (CERFPs) 

and 10 Homeland Response Forces (HRFs), the NG CBRN response organizations maintained 

their training and response readiness operating tempo throughout 2013 in completing their 

required two annual collective training events with integrated local incident commanders and 

first responders, designated commanders completing the required mission and logistics planning 

for participation in United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) and NGB-level tieredresponse CBRN Response Exercises, and responding to State Emergency Management Agency 

support requests. 

The core capabilities of each HRF CBRN Task Force and the 17 CERFPs were enhanced in 

FY 2013 through the fielding of the Joint Chemical Agent Detector (JCAD). The JCAD is a 

point detector that will enable the mass decontamination element commanders to detect toxic 

industrial chemicals/materials and chemical warfare agent hazards at lower levels than the 

replaced Automatic Chemical Agent Detector Alarm (ACADA) at personnel monitoring stations 

following wash/rinse operations within the decontamination site. CERFP and HRF commanders 

were also fielded the AN/PDR-75 Radiac Set employing Optically Stimulated Luminescence 

(OSL) technology. The OSL dosimeters will replace the dose-of-record thermoluminescentdosimeters planning and augment the fielded AN/UDR-13 Radiac Set dosimeters. 

NG CERFP and HRF dual-use mission equipment was used to respond to Hurricane Sandy by 

West Virginia and New York CERFP elements; conduct wide-area search operations in support 

of law enforcement by the Hawaii CERFP; and perform collapsed-building and structuralassessment missions by the West Virginia CERFP after heavy winter snowfalls.
B-3 

The National Guard has fielded, and is currently sustaining, the Joint Incident Site 

Communications Capability (JISCC) package. This system provides standardized 

communications within the 10 HRFs and the 17 CERFPs. The JISCC package provides 

capabilities, such as radio cross-banding, commercial internet access, public switched telephone 

network, Nonsecure Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNET), and Secret Internet Protocol 

Router Network (SIPRNET). These capabilities are needed to be interoperable with other 

government and civilian entities. The National Guard also uses the JISCC package to support the 

NG’s other Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) missions and state missions. 

NG CBRN response forces are equipped first with dual-use equipment, and then augmented, as 

necessary, with special GOTS/COTS equipment. The WMD Civil Support Teams 

(WMD-CSTs), which are required by law, are the notable exception to this unit resourcing 

approach. 

The National Guard WMD-CSTs were established in 1998, with the initial 10 WMD-CSTs 

certified by the Secretary of Defense (SecDef) to Congress in August 2001. As required by 

section 1403 of the Bob Stump National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003 (Public 

Law 107-314), DoD established a total of 55 WMD-CSTs, one in every state and territory and 

two in California. In 2006, starting with the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2007 

(Public Law 109-289), Congress funded the addition of a second WMD-CST in Florida and New 

York. The FY 2013 President’s Budget discontinued these two WMD-CSTs. However, the 

SecDef reconsidered and decided to retain these two units; therefore, 57 WMD-CSTs will remain 

operational. By statute and SecDef directive, these units perform duties, at the direction of the 

governor, in support of emergency preparedness programs to prepare for or respond to an 

emergency involving the use of a weapon of mass destruction in the United States. The 

WMD-CSTs are also authorized to provide a rapid response to the intentional or unintentional 

release of nuclear, biological, radiological, toxic, or poisonous chemical materials and respond to 

a natural or manmade disaster in the United States that results in, or could result in, catastrophic 

loss of life or property. The mission of WMD-CSTs is to support civil authorities at the known or 

suspected domestic CBRN site by identifying CBRN agents/substances, assessing current and 

projected consequences, advising on response measures, and assisting with requests for 

additional state support. 

In FY 2013, WMD-CSTs conducted 126 response missions and 615 standby events. These 

operational numbers have steadily increased in each fiscal year. Response missions are defined 

as WMD-CST deployments in response to validated requests for support from local, state, or 

federal agencies, other than NGB. Response missions included 85 responses to suspected CBRN 

substances, 34 manmade incidents, and 7 natural disasters. Standby missions are those missions 

in which a WMD-CST deploys to provide WMD-CST expertise at an event where the 

WMD-CST may be the only asset or is staged with other state assets to conduct operations, 

including events identified by the state chain of command, VIP Protective Details (including 

presidential and gubernatorial protective details), or special events. In FY 2013, WMD-CSTs 

supported the October 2012 Presidential debates, the January 2013 Presidential Inauguration, the 

February 2013 Super Bowl XLVII, the February 2013 State of the Union, the August 2013 Dr. 

Martin Luther King 50th Anniversary of the March on Washington, and numerous other state 

and local events. These standby events included pre-staging at event sites, CBRN monitoring and 
B-4 

detection, reach-back services for local first responders, and joint training operations with the 

other components of the CBRN enterprise. 

In addition to the FY 2013 response and standby missions, WMD-CSTs conducted 1,054 assist 

missions. Assist missions include contingency operations liaison, capabilities briefs, technical 

assistance, mission reconnaissance, mutual support on how to minimize vulnerability to a CBRN 

incident, or WMD-CST personnel provide advice and assistance as part of a national, state, or 

local WMD Command Post Exercise or Field Training Exercise where unit capabilities are 

planned and demonstrated in accordance with scenario changes. In sum, WMD-CSTs conducted 

a total of 2,383 events in the first ten months of FY 2013. Additionally, WMD-CSTs conducted 

669 collective training events to have operational skills for mission success. 

DSCA is a critical mission in the NG support to civil authorities. NGB is committed to the 

objective that every state and territory have access to 10 core capabilities to respond to 

emergencies and major disasters in the United States. These National Guard “Essential 10” 

capabilities are command and control (including Joint Force Headquarters), CBRN consequence 

management, engineering assets, communications, transportation (surface), aviation/airlift, 

medical, security, logistics, and maintenance. 

The National Guard Reaction Forces (NGRFs) are a trained and ready force able to provide 

governors or combatant commanders with quick reaction and rapid response capabilities in each 

state or territory. The NGRFs are capable of responding and assisting in the protection of critical 

infrastructure, other state or federal assets, and any other missions as directed to promote 

stability and security in a state, territory, or the Nation. The NGRFs are equipped with non-lethal 

capabilities to enhance their ability to respond to homeland defense (HD) and homeland security 

missions and provide force protection measures and capabilities for NGRF personnel. 

The NGRF possesses non-lethal capabilities to assist civilian authorities within the United States. 

Each state’s adjutant general, in conjunction with the state’s governor and attorney general, must 

ultimately determine if state National Guard forces will utilize non-lethal capabilities during state 

operations. Non-lethal capabilities are employed with the intent to compel or deter adversaries by 

acting on human capabilities or materiel while minimizing fatalities and damage to equipment or 

facilities. Non-lethal capabilities are intended to have reversible effects on personnel and 

materiel to provide commanders with flexible options, both in time and range, to the diverse and 

challenging threats military forces face. 

2. Army National Guard Equipment 

a. ARNG Equipment Shortfalls 

The ARNG’s Top Equipment Modernization/Shortfall Category List, Figure B-2, is developed 

annually and identifies systems or capabilities required by the ARNG for modernization and/or 

filling of shortfalls of equipment in support of domestic and Federal missions. The list includes 

18 categories that contain critical dual use equipment that the ARNG continues to focus filling 

equipment shortages and/or modernization efforts. 
B-5 

Figure B-2. ARNG Top Equipment Modernization / Shortfall Category List 

Table 8 Significant Major Item Shortages in the ARNG data tables section provides a top ten 

prioritized shortage list for major items of equipment. Significant major item shortages are in 

aviation modernization, transportation, sustainment, and construction engineering equipment. 

i. Aviation Modernization 

The overall health of the aviation portfolio remains good. The H-60 Blackhawk modernization 

efforts (M-model procurement, L-model cascades, and A-A-L modernization) are still ARNG’s 

top priority. FY 2015 equipment on-hand (EOH) quantities comprise a mixed fleet of new build, 

cascaded, and retiring legacy aircraft. At the current H-60 Blackhawk procurement, conversion, 

and cascade rate (from the A model to the L and M models), it will take until FY 2027 to fully 

divest the H-60A fleet. The UH-72A Lakota is scheduled to be fully fielded by FY 2015, an 

acceleration of one year since our last report. 

ii. Transportation 

The ARNG is participating in the ongoing Tactical Wheel Vehicle reduction studies. Upon 

completion, the ARNG will be fully aligned with the Army’s future force structure transportation 

requirement capabilities. The ARNG expects to field 1,134 Joint Light Tactical Vehicles 

(JLTVs) by 2020. Overall, the ARNG expects to have over 20,000 JLTVs by FY 2040. The 

ARNG’s plan to purchase 500 HMMWV ambulances was delayed due to contracting and parts 

availability. At completion, the ARNG will increase the HMMWV ambulance EOH to 

100 percent by third quarter FY 2015. 
B-6 

iii. Sustainment 

This equipment category consists of medical, fuel, water, maintenance, and food systems. 

Technology innovations in water storage, water distribution, and material handling equipment 

will improve the Army sustainment capabilities. The ARNG continues to field new and 

improved capabilities such as the Load Handling System Compatible Water Tank Rack (HIPPO) 

and the future Light Capability Rough Terrain Forklift. 

iv. Construction Engineering Equipment 

This equipment category includes heavy/light horizontal construction, vertical construction, 

diving, and firefighting equipment critically under filled or past its useful life cycle. These items 

support DSCA and combat missions. The ARNG has used National Guard and Reserve 

Equipment Appropriation (NGREA) funding over the last few years to supplement base funding 

for this equipment, which is still a priority shortage category for the ARNG. 

b. Effects of ARNG Shortfalls 

ARNG’s historically high EOH and modernization level comes at a time when the Army faces 

an historic convergence of strategic challenges. Preserving and improving upon the ARNG’s 

EOH of 91 percent and modernization level of 85 percent is a top priority. However, these 

modernization shortfalls result in the continued use of the legacy systems and an HD/DSCA 

capability gap. 

Shortfalls of ARNG equipment also impact ARNG’s ability to achieve full interoperability with 

the AC. In today’s operations, the Army relies on a robust network to share sensitive mission 

command information. ARNG shortfalls in communication equipment reduce the ability of the 

ARNG to provide optimal mission command capabilities during both combat and homeland 

defense operations. Communications and collaboration between incident site, local responders, 

emergency managers and other key players are critical. In addition, having a common operating 

picture facilitates collaborative planning and assists all echelons to achieve situational awareness. 

The ARNG is short both 34-ton Semitrailers and 25-ton Semitrailers. Not having adequate 

hauling and material handling capabilities significantly reduces the ARNG’s domestic response 

capabilities. The addition of HMMWV ambulances will improve the ARNG’s ability to provide 

tactical ambulances capable of reaching the last mile in rugged terrain while conducting 

operations in support of civil authorities. The ARNG’s ability to provide clean water will remain 

at risk until the HIPPO is fully restored in FY 2017. 

Given the ARNG’s EOH of 91 percent and modernization level of 85 percent, the ARNG is able 

to perform its national defense and DSCA missions. 

c. ARNG Investment Strategies 

The ARNG has used NGREA funding to successfully mitigate key ARNG shortfalls in 

equipment and modernization efforts. FY 2013 ARNG NGREA funding has allowed the 

investment of more than $92M in aviation, engineering, and logistics systems. $69M of NGREA 

funding was used to procure systems that support HD and DSCA missions. Additionally, the 

ARNG has invested $196M of NGREA funding to support individual and collective training 

through the procurement of simulator systems like the Individual Gunnery Trainer and the 
B-7 

Virtual Convoy Operations Trainer. Recent NGREA funding has focused on the procurement of 

high-priority Critical Dual Use (CDU) items that have a projected shortfall and adversely impact 

overall readiness. 

The past ten years have brought vast improvements in the overall training, equipping, and 

readiness of the operational ARNG. Equipping and modernizing the ARNG comparably with the 

AC will ensure readiness, support an operational force, and promote interoperability. Future 

procurement and sustainment programs must ensure that units are trained, ready, and modernized 

concurrent with the AC. The overarching tenet of the Army National Guard Equipping Strategy 

is to ensure that Soldiers and units always have the required equipment to execute assigned 

missions. Shortfalls not filled through new procurement will be mitigated through cross-leveling, 

improved transparency, life-cycle management, and ensuring authorization documents are in 

place prior to fielding of equipment. 

3. Air National Guard Equipment 

The Air National Guard continues to work towards recapitalization and modernization of our 

support equipment and vehicles to optimize utility. To facilitate this objective, the ANG 

continues to work closely with other major commands and NGB, along with Headquarters Air 

Force on budgeting and execution of funds for equipment and vehicles. DoD procures ANG 

support equipment for executing national defense missions, utilizing authorizations that are 

aligned to Tables of Allowances (TAs). The preponderance of this equipment can be used to 

perform both national defense and DSCA missions and is classified as “dual use.” Current 

equipment tracking methods show, even though there has been a reduction in authorized 

equipment due to mission changes and associations, the majority of all authorized ANG support 

equipment (371,472 pieces) have valid uses in both national defense and DSCA missions. The 

Total Force relationship between the Air Force (AF) and the ANG has resulted in excellent 

support for these dual-use items. Currently, the ANG has 96 percent (357,693 pieces) of 

authorized support equipment and vehicles on-hand within the categories of the Essential 10 

Capabilities (see Table B-1). 

Table B-1. ANG Support Equipment (SE) and Vehicles 

Currently, less than 1 percent of ANG equipment is deployed in support of overseas contingencies.
B-8 

a. ANG Equipment Shortfalls 

A more detailed review of the ANG equipment health is described in the following five 

categories of the Essential 10 capabilities. 

i. Logistics 

The overall ANG logistics fill rate status is good at 95 percent. There has been improvement in 

the support equipment availability and vehicle “in commission rates.” However, shortfalls exist 

in equipment and vehicles designed for transporting people and equipment to areas requiring 

rescue and recovery. Additionally, aging support equipment, such as hydraulic lifts, fork lifts, 

test equipment, and refueling trucks are plagued by availability of parts because spares are no 

longer manufactured and replacements are slow to arrive. Without spare parts, these equipment 

and vehicles cannot be maintained in operational condition, and, if funding is not available to 

replace the equipment or vehicles, they are used far beyond their life expectancy, and reliability 

suffers. 

ii. Engineering 

The overall engineering fill rate status is excellent at 95 percent. However, prime power, route 

clearance, search and rescue, and firefighting equipment shortages are inhibiting the ANG’s 

ability to concurrently perform home station and overseas deployments, or provide support to 

civil authorities. For example, power generation capability used to provide stable, reliable 

electrical power in deployed environments either abroad or during NG DSCA operations needs 

an investment of over $18M to redress shortfalls. During DSCA operations, this power could be 

a life-saving capability for an affected community. The equipment will be capable of increasing 

and maintaining emergency power for an extended period to a hospital center, shelter, or other 

facility deemed critical to a community. These teams and equipment could power entire facilities 

or areas of the community. Additionally, the prime power makes possible the “open the base” 

capability, either expeditionary or contingency, for the ANG. Currently, insufficient capacity 

exists in the FEMA regions. The ANG is working diligently through the Joint Domestic 

Operations Equipment Requirements (JDOERs), NGREA, and central AF procurement 

processes to acquire prime power capability to ensure safe, reliable, and effective power is 

available for Federal and civil support requirements. For example, the ANG acquired, through 

NGREA funding, power generation capability for the 150th Civil Engineering Squadron, which 

is the pilot unit for this capability. 

iii. Transportation 

Vehicle on-hand status is excellent at 92 percent. Additionally, with the new vehicle life-cycle 

management targets, the impact of utilization for supporting civil authorities is minimized for 

most of the fleet. The average age of the vehicles in the ANG fleet is ten years and has a health 

or in-commission rate of 86 percent. With shrinking budgets and competing priorities, the 

resources applied to these vehicles are also diminishing. For example, the average age of 

20.7 years in the medium tactical, low density, and high demand vehicles is impacted directly by 

these shrinking budgets, competing priorities, and available resources. The result affects the 

ANG’s capability to perform DSCA and state missions requiring high water and massive debris 

removal.
B-9 

iv. Security 

The overall security fill rate status is excellent at about 96 percent with shortfalls in explosive 

detection, less-than-lethal kits, and mobility bags totaling approximately $16M, a reduction of 

$100M over last year. 

Security Forces (SF) require outfitting with the most modern equipment available due to their 

extremely high operations tempo, air expeditionary force deployments, and DSCA missions. 

Explosive device threats/incidents overseas are increasing in numbers and complexity, and ANG 

SF has limited capability to detect this threat, resulting in a major vulnerability. The ANG SF has 

no K-9 support, and the procurement of K-9 resources is not an option. Handheld explosive 

detection equipment is an alternative solution. The ability to detect explosives at base entry 

control points can significantly improve installation security and provide a higher level of safety 

and security for all Airmen. ANG SF currently has a $5M shortfall of 150 explosive detection 

devices. 

Additionally, the ANG SF is not equipped to effectively respond with less-than-lethal force to 

any given scenario, creating a liability and putting the safety of ANG Airmen at risk. AF 

instructions for using force mandate options for less-than-lethal actions short of using lethal 

force. Lack of less-than-lethal capabilities and equipment greatly hinders our SF ability to secure 

an area effectively, particularly when performing DSCA missions, without resorting to lethal 

force. Additional capabilities for taking less-than-lethal action would align ANG SF with its AC 

counterparts. ANG SF currently has an $8M shortfall for 150 less-than-lethal force kits. 

SF Airmen deploy at more frequent rates and for extended periods compared to most other 

Airmen, which causes more rapid degradation of equipment in SF mobility bags. ANG SF 

forecast a shortfall of approximately $3M for replacement and sustainment 

The identified shortages are limiting the ANG SF ability to concurrently provide the public 

safety and security at home station, during overseas contingencies and when performing DSCA 

missions. These shortages have been identified previously, and the ANG is attempting to fill the 

requirements through central AF procurement processes or through other funding sources such as 

NGREA. 

v. Communications 

The fill rate for communications equipment is approximately 100 percent. However, there are 

several systems essential to operations that are operating in a degraded state, have exceeded their 

economically useful life, or have not kept pace with the technological advancements, causing 

this equipment to become questionable for both national defense and DSCA missions. 

Additionally, due to national defense and DSCA needs, the ANG continues to require sustaining 

communications equipment interoperable with civil authorities that are compliant with the 

National Incident Management System. These important communications systems have been 

assigned a lower priority for replacement and sustainment, which may affect support to DoD and 

state command authorities. System life-cycle maintenance, modernization requirements, and 

integrated security controls remain a challenge as these systems have not been integrated into AF 

requirements as expected. 
B-10 

b. Effects of ANG Shortfalls 

Overall, the ANG has adequate dual-use equipment for both the national defense and DSCA 

missions. However, there are equipment shortfalls in areas that are key to supporting state 

operations. Lack of communications and personal protective equipment could hamper the ANG’s 

ability to support a worst-case natural disaster, and the rapidly-aging ANG vehicle fleet of 

general purpose and special purpose vehicles could be a concern if funding levels do not change 

to match requirements. Additionally, classic associations following the Total Force Enterprise 

construct have the potential for slowing a state’s response to natural disasters and other events 

because ANG units in a particular state do not possess the equipment but use equipment for 

training owned and possessed by the AC. To utilize equipment for an operation under state 

control, a governor must first seek DoD approval to utilize DoD equipment necessary for the 

operation. To support civil authorities in a timely manner, governors need agreements for more 

timely access to AC equipment in classic associate units, or have separate accountability, thereby 

making equipment owned and operated by the ANG available for a domestic response as it is at 

traditional ANG units. 

Other shortfalls in support equipment and vehicles are caused primarily by assignment of new 

missions and changes to missions, such as units flying remotely piloted aircraft, expansion of 

missions for C-130 units, and accession of new aircraft, such as the KC-46. However, the ANG 

will eventually realize an increase in the ANG equipment inventory from these changes, which 

will lead to improved capability to train on mission-essential equipment used for both national 

defense and DSCA missions. 

Additionally, planned insertions of technology and upgrades to ANG’s current weapon systems 

require additional test equipment for the maintenance community, which evaluates upgrades or, 

in some cases, performs the upgrades.

See Chapter 5, Section II, for additional information on ANG shortfalls in equipment and 

modernization. 

c. ANG Requirements and Acquisition Strategies 

The ANG acquisition strategy is focused on peacetime and wartime readiness capability 

requirements and ensuring support considerations are an integral part of an assessment of lifecycle costs of any procurement. Gaps in capabilities critical to wartime and peacetime needs are 

identified and vetted in an open and rigorous forum of warfighters, who are experts in their 

respective weapons systems or fields. One venue is the annual Weapons and Tactics Conference 

and its results are approved by the Director, ANG. A similar process is conducted at the annual 

JDOERs conference, which will be held in April 2014. The capability requirements derived and 

vetted at these conferences are translated into specific COTS or GOTS solutions, and require 

only non-developmental integration into a weapons system. These capabilities and associated 

programs are documented in the annual Air National Guard Weapons Systems Modernization 

Priorities book and JDOERs book. 

Once valid DoD requirements are established, they are filled based on the mission priority of the 

unit and weapon system. The ANG uses all available funding sources to fill equipment needs. 

Most funding comes from the annual DoD planning, programming, budgeting, and execution 
B-11 

process, with other funding coming from AF central agencies for support items that are 

interchangeable across the AF enterprise; such as personal protective equipment, 

communications equipment, and some vehicles. The ANG has also been aggressive in seeking 

other funding sources to replace items that have been expended while performing national 

defense and DSCA missions. Lastly, the ANG takes full advantage of NGREA funding to 

procure authorized dual-use support equipment, which increases a unit’s ability to support state 

missions, or to modernize equipment to ensure its reliability, relevancy, and responsiveness to 

future national defense or DSCA missions. 

4. Specialized Equipment 

Specialized equipment is unique equipment that is specific to the DSCA mission, is not 

considered dual-use, and is specifically authorized by Congress. Funding, management, and 

accounting procedures may differ from the procedures used to manage equipment authorized to 

support Federal missions. Much of this equipment is procured from COTS vendors and does not 

have organic sustainment support. 

a. Specialized Equipment Shortfalls 

The WMD-CSTs continue to have a limiting factor of non-redundant commercial CBRN equipment 

for monitoring, detection, and analysis of field incidents and modernization of specialized vehicles. 

Some critical COTS equipment is fielded to the WMD-CSTs without spares, such as generators and 

specialized vehicles. The result is likely a single point of failure for a WMD-CST mission, lessening 

the team’s capability until replacements are obtained, or suitable substitutes are repositioned from 

other WMD-CST units. As noted above, adequate funding for mission critical equipment 

modernization, life-cycle management of legacy COTS and GOTS equipment, and a rapid 

acquisition process to support the procurement of leading edge technologies is paramount to both 

relevance and reliability of unit capabilities.

The HRF and CERFP lifesaving missions have not changed, and the equipment is being sustained. 

Within the NG CBRN Enterprise (10 HRFs and 17 CERFPs), 10 have received new, tailored 

medical assemblage upgrades with the remainder to receive tailored medical assemblages via 

NGREA funding. During FY 2013, Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dosimeters and 

readers were fielded to the HRFs and CERFPs concurrent with USNORTHCOM adopting OSL 

technology. 

b. Effects of Shortfalls of Specialized Equipment 

The WMD-CST and CERFP equipment issues are limiting factors, with no specific effects 

unless personnel protection (Occupational Safety and Health Administration, National Institute 

for Occupational Safety and Health, National Fire Protection Association) and hazardous 

material protection standards change or equipment failure occurs. 

While HRF and CERFP missions have not changed, some equipment items were replaced or 

upgraded to ensure maximum capability for CBRN medical response. The ANG Consolidated 

Storage and Deployment Centers (CSDCs) located in Topeka, Kansas; Horsham, Pennsylvania; 

and Fairchild AFB, Washington, provide logistical support and a growing capability to provide 

preventative maintenance on equipment for the 10 HRF and 17 CERFP units. The CSDCs 

provide limited calibration of CERFP medical equipment, and deploy Expeditionary Medical 
B-12 

Support assemblages and HRF/CERFP medical resupply assemblages. Currently, the CSDCs do 

not have dedicated fork-lift capability in their warehouses to support the rapid deployment of 

medical supplies, but must rely on support from the local Logistics Readiness Squadrons. This 

dependence could potentially delay critical logistical support to a lifesaving DSCA mission. 

c. Requirements and Acquisition Strategies for Specialized Equipment 

Specialized GOTS/COTS equipment for emergencies or response to a major disaster is funded 

using a combination of Army, ARNG, AF, and ANG appropriations, along with DoD-wide 

appropriations (e.g., the Chemical and Biological Defense Program [CBDP] funds), as well as 

ANG and ARNG NGREA. NGB continues to work with DoD to pursue modernization for 

equipment used by WMD-CSTs as technology evolves. The CBDP has programmed increases 

for research, development, test, and evaluation procurement; and life-cycle management for 

WMD-CST equipment, although unfunded requirements remain. One objective for the CBDP 

will be to mitigate or eliminate the single failure points in CBDP equipment mentioned above. 

B. FY 2008 NDAA, Section 1826, “Additional Reporting Requirements Relating to 

National Guard Equipment,” added the requirements for a statement of the accuracy of 

past NG equipment inventory projections and a certification from the Chief, National 

Guard Bureau setting forth the inventory of equipment items that were due to be procured 

for the National Guard in the preceding fiscal year, but were not received. 

1. Army National Guard 

The Army has shown steady improvement toward achieving transparency. With regard to 

financial traceability, the ARNG has confidence in the level of fidelity the Army has provided to 

date. However, this effort has not provided the capability to certify delivery of equipment. The 

certification of materiel delivery requires 100 percent confidence that an item was received by a 

unit and can be traced back to an appropriation. 

The Army will continue to oversee proposed changes, and improve business processes and data 

collection through web-based applications. The intent is to simplify the transparency process and 

to achieve full transparency through the incorporation of Item Unique Identification (IUID) as 

part of Global Combat Support System-Army (GCSS-A), which is projected to reach full 

operability in FY 2017. It is believed that once IUID is fully implemented, it and GCSS-A 

capabilities will allow the Army to attain full auditable traceability as required by the 2008 NDAA. 

Despite the significant progress, the ARNG remains unable to assess delivered quantities against 

those that were due in, as specified in the NDAA reporting requirement. The ARNG must have 

the ability to systematically audit and validate delivery data by year of appropriation. 

2. Air National Guard 

To meet the equipment transparency requirements in NDAA 2008, the Deputy Assistant 

Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition Integration (SAF/AQX) developed guidelines for 

crafting the RC President’s Budget exhibits. The AF and ANG are tying into several Air Force 

systems to attain the transparency required by FY 2008 NDAA, Section 1826. 
B-13 

a. Asset Marking and Tracking (AMT) 

Consistent marking and tracking of assets supports Air Force logistics planning by enabling the 

asset visibility needed to effectively manage supply, repair, and demand planning across the Air 

Force. AMT enables total asset visibility by providing the ability to view inventory, whether 

static or in motion and link to asset quality and condition information. This is accomplished by 

creating a timely and consistent way to automatically identify and track assets throughout the Air 

Force supply chain. 

b. Equipment and Vehicles Transformation Initiative (EVTI) 

EVTI will enable the Air Force centralized management of Class of Supply VII (support 

equipment and vehicles). To work collaboratively toward the goal of enterprise management for 

Class of Supply VII, EVTI will group the following five process owners: Headquarters Air 

Force, Lead Command Equipment Management Office, Major Command Vehicle Fleet 

Management offices, Air Logistics Centers, and the Air Force Global Logistic Support Center. 

Specifically, EVTI will focus its efforts on the centralized management of support equipment 

and vehicle commodities to exercise planning, aggregation, and execution authority over Class of 

Supply VII. 

c. Logistics, Installations, and Mission Support–Enterprise View (LIMS-EV) 

The LIMS-EV is the Air Force’s gateway and foundation for the warfighter to meet strategic, 

operational, tactical, and historical information needs of the 21st century Air Force. The LIMS-EV 

domains are diverse and complex entities. They encompass the maintenance of aerospace 

equipment, supply chain management, civil engineering, and force security. 

3. Procurement Transparency and Certification 

The National Guard continues to implement mission and programmatic changes to meet 

transparency requirements through focused leadership, equipping strategies, and modernization. 

The RCs have transitioned from a strategic reserve to an operational force while sustaining their 

HD, DSCA, and state missions. Although equipment transparency and visibility are now much 

better than in years past, supporting automation systems currently in use for data collection do 

not yet generate the data necessary to fully meet requirements. Major end item asset visibility 

and redistribution have proven to be complex, multilayered tasks. The National Guard, working 

together with the Army and Air Force, has aggressively pursued methods to build cooperation 

and create capabilities, such as establishing automated reporting linkages to procurement 

appropriations. Further improvements will be put in place to achieve a balance between 

requirements and resources. 

In recent years, the Military Services have improved their processes and automation systems to 

facilitate the procurement and distribution of equipment and, to some extent, the tracking of 

these resources throughout the processes. While it is still not possible for the CNGB to verify 

that all funding intended for the NG is resulting in the delivery of equipment to our units, the 

Army, along with the SAF/AQX reports, offers the first valid attempts to meet that requirement. 

In the near future, the maturation of these reports and modernization of the AF logistics system 

should combine to provide the transparency needed for all Air Force equipment procurement 

processes.
