                                      1
Preserve the Operational ARNG
• Maintain a balanced force structure across the ARNG.

• Ensure ARNG force structure mirrors that of the Active Component.

• Man not less than 350,200 Soldiers & corresponding Force Structure.

• Continue predictable, rotational deployments via Army Force Generation
that enable us to preserve the proficiency
gained over the past decade.

• Provide full time support and military
construction critical to maintaining
baseline levels of readiness across the force.

• Resource the operational ARNG in the base budget as the most cost-
effective force; seek efficiencies to maximize tax-payer’s investment.
                                                                         .2
Generate Ready Units and Soldiers

• Recruit and retain quality Soldiers and develop transformational,
adaptive leaders – America’s future leaders.

• Recommit to the basics of personnel readiness through focusing on
improvement of USR metrics and Unit Manning Roster management.

• Resource ARNG training to meet FORCEGEN
readiness goals and objectives, to include
regular, live and constructive CTC rotations.

• Continue to field, sustain and train on            train on
modernized equipment.

Partner with Combatant Commanders

• Maintain proficiency across the spectrum of decisive action
missions.

• Provide forces capable of building partnership capacity supporting
COCOM campaign plans for regional and global stability.

• Remain capable, accessible, innovative and agile to support joint,
interagency or multinational environments.

• Expand the ARNG’s role in emerging mission sets - such as cyber
efforts - to assist with future global demand.

• Identify and advance civilian expertise and skill sets as a key
multiplier that ARNG formations provide Combatant Commanders.
                                                                       4
Provide Force of Choice for Domestic Operations


• Produce rapidly employable forces for Governors and NORTHCOM
in support of homeland missions.

• Maintain a geographically distributed, community-based presence
in each State, Territory and DC.

• Sustain critical dual-use
equipment at a minimum of
80% on-hand and ready.
Enhance Core Strengths, Character & Culture

• Sustain the trust of our Soldiers, Families, Employers and
Communities by living and emulating the Army Values.

• Foster positive environments free from abuse, harassment, and
discrimination.

• Develop resilient Soldiers and Families through a wide array of
resourced, accessible and effective programs.

• Embrace the diversity of our Soldiers and organization as a reflection
of our communities across our States, Territories, and the District.

• Sustain our strong historical reputation of being good stewards of
resources, good neighbors, and trusted leaders in our communities.
