12 Progress in Army Reserve Logistics Implementing logistics program that directly supports the Army Force Generation (ARFORGEN) model. Provided Rapid Fielding Initiative equipment to 62,000 Army Reserve Soldiers Integrated 7,014 pieces of equipment transferred from the Active Component to the Army Reserve. Identified $742 million of Army Reserve stay-behind equipment retained in Iraq for replacement (such as HMMWVs, Trucks, Material Handling Equipment and communication equipment).
13 Equipping an Operational Reserve The modernization of light-medium trucks (75 percent are not Modular Force compatible or deployable and are not integral to training and operational efficiency). The modernization of medium line-haul tractors (50 percent do not support single-fleet policy and are not integral to training and operational efficiency). Modular Force equipment needed to support designated individual and collective training locations, including unit level collective training in a field environment.
14 Equipping an Operational Army Reserve Sustainment Issues: - Fully fund FY2013 force structure, including replacement of battle and attritional losses due to Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom and the increased training tempo. - Recapitalize tactical truck inventory. - Retain Army Reserve tactical maintenance contract labor to reduce mobilization and training equipment backlogs.
