Studies, Analyses, Assessments, and Lessons Learned (A–9) The director of studies, analyses, assessments, and lessons learned collects, documents, reports, and disseminates critical information necessary to analyze, assess, and document Air Force aspects of campaigns and contingencies, and to document lessons identified. (Note: A–9 functions do not include campaign operational assessment, a task performed within the AOC). This information provides the primary source documents for both contemporary and future Air Force planning and analysis. Moreover, they serve as an official permanent record of component mission accomplishment. 120
APPENDIX D THE AIR RESERVE COMPONENTS The Air Reserve Components (ARC) are the Air Force Reserve (AFR) and the Air National Guard of the United States (ANGUS). The ARC provides operational capabilities and strategic depth to meet US defense requirements across the ROMO. ARC forces are normally employed to take advantage of military opportunities, cover shortfalls in regular component critical skills, and to support short duration national priorities. The importance of this factor—the part-time nature of the force—should be fully considered. When evaluating which ongoing operational missions are best suited for ARC participation, factors such as predictability, tour length, and duty location should all be considered. The AFR consists of the Ready Reserve, the Standby Reserve, and the Retired Reserve (which includes retirees from both the ARC and regular component). The Ready Reserve consists of the Selected Reserve and the Individual Ready Reserve. The ANGUS consists of members of the Air National Guard (ANG) who are on active duty under Title 10 USC. The ANG consist of the federally-recognized organized militia of the States and Territories, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia. ADCON for Guardsmen not in federal status flows to their respective adjutant general and governor. When activated under Title 10 USC, ADCON is maintained through the ANG Readiness Center. The AFR and the ANG both provide forces to the Selected Reserve, which the Air Force maintains at the same readiness level as the regular component. AFR and ANG are full partners ready to meet Air Force mission requirements at all times. This enables the ARC to provide operational capability on a continual basis. Leveraging the ARC to provide operational capability involves a process of using both volunteer forces and/or forces mobilized as described below. The ARC provides sustainable, rotational support across numerous operational missions, such as airlift, air refueling, NORAD air sovereignty alert, and combat support. Voluntary duty is encouraged to meet mission requirements and volunteers provide the bulk of the ARC's sustainable rotational capability to operations. ARC forces may need to be mobilized during a surge operation and for activities requiring critical skills. Historically, ARC forces were allocated to regular component MAJCOMS which then managed, mobilized, and presented forces to fulfill operational requirements. With the increased operational commitment of the ARC, more of the roles and responsibilities currently performed by the regular component MAJCOMs related to generating ARC forces are shifting to the ARC. 121
