Abstract: | The readiness and efficiency of the Navy Reserve are critical to the strategic capabilities of the United States Navy, particularly in scenarios requiring large-scale mobilization. This thesis examines the systemic challenges and limitations of the current Navy Reserve mobilization framework, focusing on its inability to meet the Chief of Navy Reserve’s mandate to mobilize 100% of reserve forces within 30 days. Through a comprehensive analysis, we identified significant challenges in the Navy Reserve’s infrastructure, processes, and coordination, which limit its readiness for large-scale mobilizations. Our findings reveal gaps in scalability, logistical support, and joint integration, emphasizing the need for sustainable, adaptive processes to meet modern combat requirements. Key recommendations presented include expanding integration with Mobilization Force Generation Installations (MFGIs), enhancing the Navy Mobilization Processing Sites (NMPS), and adopting a comprehensive, joint-centric approach to mass mobilization planning. By addressing these inefficiencies and incorporating scalable infrastructure improvements that align with Department of Defense objectives, the Navy Reserve can ensure readiness for multi-domain combat operations and the sustainment of large-scale mobilization efforts. |
