Navy Reserve reinforcing units are structured to augment Navy ships and air squadrons during mobilization. Reinforcing units for active ships and air squadrons have many problems, specifically with respect to training and with respect to mobilization capability. This has led to instability, negative cohesion and morale, and poor retention in reinforcing units. There are alternative sources for providing surge requirements to ships and air squadrons that are more efficient in terms of rapid build-up, will provide personnel at least as well trained as personnel in reinforcing units, and are more cost-effective. The alternative sources are examined, their advantages and disadvantages weighed, and the cost benefits analyzed. Suggestions are made for overcoming disadvantages, and arguments are presented for accepting alternative sources for planning of mobilization personnel in lieu of Navy Reserve reinforcing units.
