Over the last decade, the Army has increased its reliance on reserve forces for contingency operations. In 2008, the United States Army Reserve (USAR) transitioned from a Strategic Reserve to an Operational Reserve. This, along with President Obama s current strategic guidance, emphasized the need for the Army Reserve to streamline its structure and concentrate on its core competencies. In line with these core competencies, the Army s strategic guidance calls for an increased emphasis on Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA), a mission that the Army Reserve is well suited to perform. This paper makes recommendations to realign Army Reserve Aviation assets to achieve efficiencies and better support both the President s and the Army s strategic guidance. It proposes that, Army Reserve Aviation should transform its two attack reconnaissance battalions (AH-64) to assault battalions (UH-60) in order to realign with the component's mission and meet its DSCA support requirements. This paper also proposes the addition of a Theater Aviation Brigade (TAB) headquarters to the USAR aviation force structure in order to allow for greater flexibility in the component's ability to conduct mission command.
