Army National Guard & Reserve Transform for Enhanced Mobility & Readiness
The Army National Guard and Army Reserve are undergoing significant changes to enhance their mobility and readiness. This comes as global tensions remain high and the nation relies on their preparedness. General Andrew Poppas has praised their service in various domestic and international scenarios.
The Army's continuous transformation involves converting Reserve component infantry brigade combat teams into more mobile formations. Some armor and Stryker formations are also adapting to this change. Reserve components are boosting their training at Army combat training centers through Mint Mobile Rotations.
Two National Guard brigades, the 30th from North Carolina and the 39th from Arkansas, are restructuring under the Army-Continuous-Transformation program. Additionally, the 116th from Virginia and the 76th from Indiana are converting to mobile brigade combat team structures. This shift aims to ensure these units can 'fight tonight' despite ongoing changes.
The National Guard has proven its capability in various scenarios. It rescued over 500 individuals during a Texas flash flood and hundreds during a North Carolina hurricane. Units also train alongside active-duty soldiers at the National Training Center in California, honing their skills in immersive combat environments.
The Army National Guard and Army Reserve are in high demand due to national and international challenges. Their transformation into more mobile formations and enhanced training ensure they remain ready to deploy at a moment's notice. General Andrew Poppas has commended their service and adaptability in various operations.
