2. LTG Luckey Quote
“Our “over-match” on the battlefield is no longer a valid planning assumption and the rear area is no longer secure. Train, man and equip to defeat the threat. It is the bedrock of deterrence. It also saves countless lives in combat. Our job is to win America’s wars.”
-LTG Charles D. Luckey

Sir, LTC John Gobrick, Chief of Mobilization. The first slide in my portion of the brief depicts Army Reserve commitments in support of Overseas Contingency Operations on a weekly basis. The points from this slide I would like to hi-light for you today are:
21,611 Soldiers are now in support of Global Combatant Commands with 10,721 soldiers currently on orders
This is an decrease of 1029 from last week’s numbers for soldiers on orders
EUCOM had an increase from ODT (from Medical, Engineering and Civil Affairs DETS)
CENTCOM had no significant changes
PACOM had a decrease due to ODT (for UFG ending)
SOUTHCOM had no significant changes
AFRICOM had no significant changes
NORTHCOM/CONUS had a decrease in MOB due mainly to Medical DETS coming off orders.

4. Readiness Guidance
“ Our military will remain ready to deter and defeat threats to the homeland, including against missile, cyber, and terrorist attacks, while mitigating the effects of potential attacks and natural disasters. Our military is postured globally to protect our citizens and interests, preserve regional stability, render humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, and build the capacity of our partners to join with us in meeting security challenges.”
-2016 National Security Strategy
“Restore Joint Readiness. Our fundamental responsibility to the Nation is to be a ready force.”
- CJCS Message to the Joint Force
“ #1. Readiness: (Current Fight) Our fundamental task is like no other – it is to win in the unforgiving crucible of ground combat. We must ensure the Army remains ready as the world’s premier combat force. Readiness for ground combat is – and will remain the U.S. Army’s #1 priority. We will always be ready to fight today, and we will always prepare to fight tomorrow. Our most valued assets, indeed, the Nation’s most valued assets, are our Soldiers and our solemn commitment must always be to never send them into harm’s way untrained, poorly led, undermanned, or with less than the best equipment we can provide. Readiness is #1, and there is no other #1.
- 39th CSA initial message to the Army
“Our greatest challenge is to reinstate an ethos of readiness throughout our formations. Leaders must strive to build the highest level of resources and time available. Recognition that every units – regardless of the level of manning, equipping, or resources – possess some level of mission capability that may be called upon at a moment’s notice is central to fulfilling the FORSCOM mission.
- FORSCOM Command Training Guidance (CTG) FY16
Unit Readiness Priorities:
Continue to aggressively rebuild combined arms maneuver capability…
Prioritize and protect home station training environments…
Establish a common, objective standard for assessing and reporting training readiness for decisive action, or assigned missions across the total Army force.
Improve personnel readiness by significantly reducing medical and administrative non-available Soldiers to maximize our Army’s combat power.
-Army Readiness Guidance, Calendar Year
“Our mission is to man, train, equip, and be ready to deploy a wide array of combat forces, capable of conducting and/or supporting full spectrum operations on short notice. This is about winning America’s wars. Nothing less. It is the ultimate team sport.”
-LTG Luckey’s letter to the field
