Downsizing of the active duty military forces and increased commitment of the U.S. in ongoing peacekeeping and contingency operations have brought about a reliance on the ARNG and Army Reserve forces utilizing involuntary Presidential Reserve Call-up(PRC) authority. This paper will focus on the integration of the ARNG and USAR aviation force structure as part of the overall Army Aviation war fight in answering this OPTEMPO requirement. This paper will cover four areas. First it will focus on background information on mobilization and use of reserve components. Second, it will present the vision of the armed services. Third, it will provide an overview of the Army' transformation to the objective force and the Air Force's transition to the Air Expeditionary Forces (AEF). Fourth, it will compare the two services in relation to the integration and utilization of aviation reserve components in meeting the Small Scale Contingency (SSC) deployments. Finally, based on the comparison, a recommendation is made for future policy in developing and integrating Army Aviation force structure as a large base force to support forward deployments.
