DUBLIN, Calif -- Leadership from the Army Reserve gathered at Camp Parks, Dublin, Calif., Dec. 8-9, for the Combined Regional Support Command Readiness Review (CR2).
The 63rd, 81st, 88th and 99th RSC’s commanding generals briefed Maj. Gen. Peter Lennon, deputy commanding general (support), U.S. Army Reserve Command, about the current state of readiness of their respective RSC and where each sits in critical areas of performance.
Among the relevant topics briefed to Lennon were medical readiness, logistical concerns and data, Army bands and the status of Reserve Personnel Actions Centers across the RSC’s.
Lennon said he wanted to concentrate on issues each command is having which is keeping them from getting better.
“Do you see a positive trend we can share throughout the commands or is there something that’s holding the command up?” Lennon asked. “That’s what I’m looking for here - collaboration and cooperation.”
“Part of the reason we’re doing all four RSC’s together is to take the step towards standardization, so the OFNT (Operational and Functional) commands that depend on us so much understand they’re going to have one way of doing things.”
Having four separate procedures is not beneficial long-term, Lennon continued.
“We’re going to try and get processes and procedures that are standard across the board,” he said. “There are going to be nuances- we all understand that. But wherever we can, we’re going to work towards a common baseline.”
Lennon asked each RSC to think about progressive readiness, which is to plan, prepare and provide.
“Plan to be part of the total force, for an operation or exercise.”
“Prepare for the exercises: the RSC piece of the prepare is to make sure your Soldiers are ready to do what they have to do and are medically and administratively cleared.”
“Provide those forces to the combatant commanders and turn a reserve Soldier into a mobilized active duty Soldier that is ready to roll.”
Lennon said he wanted to come away from the CR2 with ideas and concepts that will take the RSC’s to the next level.
“I have to make sure what we’re thinking about as far as moving forward, provides us with something we can execute,” he added.
“I’ll be your advocate along with the RSC commanders for any issues,” Lennon said.
