“Manning the Force While Transforming for the Long War”ARRC-TRS Non-Availables Remaining Category breakout Some of these codes (highlighted in yellow) represent database coding errors. For example, Soldiers coded as B1 are also coded as being skill level 1O. One of these values is wrong but determining which one is wrong is difficult. However, they are not being double counted in other numbers on the previous slide. While the B1 and B2 numbers are very high, these Soldiers would either be counted here or in the ‘Untrained’ category. Either way, they would be considered Non Available.

“Manning the Force While Transforming for the Long War”ARRC-TRS Mobilization Load vs What’s Left This chart shows the number of TPU mobilizations during FY05 by grade (FY05 Mob Starts). Just simply matching mobilization requirements to What’s Left by grade, there are critical shortfalls in leadership grades. This assumes these grades of Soldiers will all be re-trained to match the mobilization skill requirements and that FY06 mobilization requirements will mirror FY05. Historical data indicates that the total number of required mobilization starts has remained fairly constant for the past 2 FYs. If we are unable to re-train E7-E9 and O4-O6 then the shortages increase greatly. As long as USAREC can continue to meet the majority of their mission, the AR will be able to sustain E1-E4 mobilization requirements indefinitely provided enough of the correct MOS producing school seats are available to support those mobilization requirements. If there are not enough of the correct school seats, then there could be shortages within the E1-E4 strata in specific skills. Completely dependant on ‘volunteerism’ to support FY06 leadership requirements
