Summary:

The Defense Department's bottom-up review concluded that the Army's reserve components should be reduced to 575,000 positions by 1999--a 201,000 decrease since fiscal year 1989. In December 1993, the Defense Department announced a major restructuring of the Army National Guard and the Army Reserve. The Offsite Agreement spelled out how personnel reductions would be distributed among the reserve components. This report evaluates (1) the cost of implementing the agreement, (2) the agreement's impact on reserve components' readiness, and (3) reserve components' efforts to absorb displaced personnel.
