STAGE ONE -- MOBILIZATION
4-91. Current strategy places an enormous premium on the ability to rapidly
generate the forces (units), manpower (individuals), and logistics support
required to support the commander in achieving his mission. Mobilization is
a phased, concurrent, and continuous process designed to rapidly expand and
enhance the mission capability of the Army in support of a military response
to crisis or natural disaster. The authority to order mobilization resides with
the President and/or the Congress.
4-92. Mobilization includes five levels, which support mobilization for specific
or limited contingencies up to the full mobilization necessary to support
large, protracted wars. The mobilization flow for an RC unit consists of
planning, alert, activities at home station, activities at mobilization station,
and activities at the port of embarkation. ADA commanders anticipating
augmentation by RC units or individuals must be involved in providing
training guidance and mobilization planning during the planning and alert
phases. During the remaining phases, commanders must be prepared to
receive units and/or individuals, organize personnel, supplies, and materiel,
certify the proficiency of individuals and units and deploy the units into
theater.
4-93. ADA commanders must be involved in the mobilization process because
of the current reliance on the RC. In nearly every contingency, RC units and
individuals are relied upon to accomplish the mission. Details of the
mobilization process are in FM 100-17.
STAGE TWO -- PREDEPLOYMENT ACTIVITY
4-94. Since all units are an integral part of the force-projection strategy, unit
mission-essential task lists must reflect appropriate mobilization and
deployment tasks. AC commanders anticipating augmentation by RC units
should involve themselves in the RC unit's training program to insure that
RC training is relevant to the AC unit's mission and training program. ADA
unit training must emphasize all critical aspects of force projection.
4-95. Task organization is conducted based on the mission and resources
available. The theater campaign plan will specify command, intelligence,
logistics, and any multinational operations relationships, if known. The G2 or
S2 must begin a detailed IPB as early as possible to support planning.
Anticipatory logistics planning during this stage is key to successful
execution of later stages. Operations security is critical during this stage. The
