Abstract
This study examines various facets of activating the
National Defense Reserve Force. Its history and background
are reviewed and its present status of readiness considered.
Specific areas covered are monetary costs, manpower capabilities
(seagoing and ashore) as well as the physical condition
and capabilities of the fleet.
The sub-structure of the Reserve Fleet known as the Ready
Reserve Force is covered in depth. In this area the inception
of the ready force idea is presented along with its goals and
accomplishments to date. Of unique interest is the joint
funding of the Ready Reserve Force which is contributed to by
both the Department of Commerce and the Department of Defense.
Conclusions are drawn from its past performance, documented
present status, and projected industrial capabilities.
