Description: This report outlines the ways in which conventional military sociology is inappropriate for an understanding of reserve components. Issues include potential for using professional reservists; on a part-time basis, alleviating unit pressures on reservists with demanding civilian careers, reconstituting military schools to accommodate time of reservists, feasibility of 'buying-out' superannuated personnel to foster early retirements, and the utility of wargaming computers to aid training in interechelon and interunit coordination.
