From the preface: "The Fiscal Year 2014 National Defense Authorization Act directed the Secretary of Defense to conduct a review of requirements for reserve component general and flag officers (RC G/FOs) in an active status. The Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs (OASD/RA) asked RAND to assist with this assessment; this report provides OASD/RA with information relevant to that request. OASD/RA asked RAND to explore (1) whether the authorized strengths for RC G/FOs, as provided in statute, are sufficient for the effective management and leadership of the reserve component; (2) whether the services are complying with statutory limits on the number of general and flag officers; (3) whether efficiencies can be gained from downgrading or eliminating RC G/FO positions or from converting them to senior civilian positions; and (4) the extent to which professional development of RC G/FOs affects requirements."
