Army Reserve Senior Leader’s Conference
Mission: CG, USARC, hosts the USAR Commander’s Conference from 14-16
Sep 15 in Alexandria, VA, in order to provide updates on critical Army Reserve
issues and to facilitate dialogue with senior Army Reserve leaders.
Intent: The USAR Commander’s Conference offers a unique opportunity for the
Command Teams (Commanders, CSMs, CCWOs, CXOs, and Senior Volunteer
Advisors) to discuss important command and component issues affecting the
Army Reserve and our great Army. My intent is that our Senior Leadership come
prepared to be engaged and to engage others. We will have a lot to cover as
near term decisions will have a lasting impact on our Army. I need your input –
together we will help the Army Reserve get to the next level in service to our
Nation.
End State: AR senior leaders understand our strategic and operational priorities,
and are prepared to execute those priorities in order to lead our formations
through an era of declining resources. We must remain postured to support the
Army and the nation as required with manned and ready units.
