Key Findings

The Department of Defense can implement a strategic approach to the management of active-status reserve officers with joint education and experience by taking the following steps:

• Collect the data necessary to determine the demand for such officers.
• Fill out lists (already mandated by policy) of positions providing joint experience.
• Institute a process to acknowledge and record joint expertise or experience on an individual basis.
• Compare current and projected inventories of joint officers with the demand for them, and adjust policies to compensate for shortages or overages.
