Transformation

See Transformation of War & U.S. Military

U.S. Joint Forces Command Joint Reserve Directorate - "Reserve pilots, land and sea commanders, planners and trainers contribute daily to U.S. military transformation. USJFCOM mission support functions like director's staff, computer infrastructure, personnel administration and logistics also rely on reserve augmentation. The national emergency response mission dedicates many JRU Guard and Coast Guard reservists to Joint Task Force-Civil Support located at Fort Monroe, Hampton, Va."

Future Total Force project - "was designed to explore potential solutions to some of the Air Force's most pressing recruiting, retention, manning and budgetary problems. The people assigned to the project have been given the freedom to "think way outside the box" to come up with concepts that might strengthen the rapidly evolving Air Force of the 21st century ... Among other concepts, Future Total Force experts are looking at how the Air Force can offer more flexible career alternatives that would enable airmen to move seamlessly between the active-duty, Reserve, National Guard and civilian programs." (from Citizen Airman article)

Future Total Force wing - active duty and Reserve Component airmen work side-by-side in a single unit. First one formed on 1 Oct 2002, when Air National Guard's 116th Bomb Wing and Air Combat Command's 93rd Air Control Wing merged to form the 116th Air Control Wing. (from an ACC news release)
