Mr. Chairman, I would like to make a digression this morning by calling a witness who is ill, and I -do not know how long we should keep him here. And I am going to ask that we suspend with the witness who was testifying yesterday and ask this witness to present himself. Previous to presenting that testimony, I want to call attention to the order which was referred to yesterday. You will recall that we brought out in evi dence that the Navy Department is now out looking for aviators to serve as officers. And through the kindness of the Navy Department they have furnished me with a copy of that order, which is very short and which I will read. It is issued by Thomas Washington, who is the admiral at the head of the Bureau of Navigation. It is dated March 30, 1922, and is as follows.

"Forging a Total Force traces the evolution of the Guard and reserve from the Revolutionary War-era militias to today's operational reserve, an integral part of the nation's total force. In the early republic, the ideal of a citizen-solider, capable of taking the field with little or no training, predominated. The realities of modern combat slowly made it clear that a more professional force was required, but policy changes failed to keep up with that changing necessity. The nation struggled to provide adequate training and equipment to the reserve component throughout the Cold War until the idea of a Total Force, which integrated regular and reserve components, emerged and was achieved. It wasn't until the defense buildup of the 1980s that the ideal of a combat-ready reserve became reality. The core of this book focuses on what came next, from 1990 to 2011, with particular emphasis on the decade after 9/11. The Persian Gulf War demonstrated both the effectiveness of the reserve and the challenges it continued to face. The post-Cold War drawdown during the 1990s made the smaller active component more dependent on the reserves than it had been since the nation's founding. The reserve component proved itself yet again in the wars following 9/11, but also became strained as it became clear just how much the nation depended on its Guard and reserve. Finally, the authors detail the policy changes made midstream in an attempt to address issues with the overextended force, such as balancing training and deployment with civilian lives and careers, providing health care to reservists, and integrating the active and reserve components. The authors conclude by detailing the issues policymakers will face as they forge ahead with citizen-soldiers serving as an operational force."--Provided by publisher.
