Evolving to meet the needs of the Army and the nation, Army Reserve priorities are nested with the current HQDA Focus Areas, as well as FORSCOM’s Four Wins.
FOCUS AREA 1
HQDA: WARFIGHTING
FORSCOM – WIN THE FIRST FIGHT
USAR: To build the warfighting skills needed for the future fight, we are:
- Focusing on achieving mission essential readiness:
- Condensing and streamlining administrative requirements to give Commanders more time to train.
- Focusing on DMOSQ, PME, Individual training, and collective training (up to platoon)
- Executing Tough, Realistic Training… Done Safely.
- With only 39 available training days per year, leaders must make EVERY battle assembly count.
- Training on/with your MTOE equipment and leverage your maintainers to maintain it.
FOCUS AREA 2
HQDA: DELIVER READY COMBAT POWER
FORSCOM - #2 WIN AS A BALANCED TOTAL ARMY
USAR: To build the combat-ready power needed to win as a balanced Total Army, we are streamlining and tailoring the mobilization process which includes:
- Revamping pre-mobilization processes to increase USAR agility and responsiveness.
- Caring for our Soldiers and their families – the foundation for everything we do.
- Resolving pay and administrative issues quickly to avoid negatively impacting families, retention, and morale.
- A holistic approach to health and fitness.
FOCUS AREA 3
HQDA: CONTINUOUS TRANSFORMATION
FORSCOM: WIN THE FUTURE FIGHT
USAR: To achieve this across the force we are:
- Evolving our structure to support the Army of 2040: Rebalancing capabilities, restructuring to support Army 2030/2040, and investing in high-demand civilian skills.
- Fostering a culture of improvement to support continuous transformation and adaptation.
