This thesis analyzes the Naval Reserve budget during the
period FYs 1970-1987 and compares the Naval Reserve budget
growth to the active Navy budget growth during the same
period. By performing descriptive data analysis on the
total budget authority of both the active and reserve Navy
during the period under study, the data indicates that the
Naval Reserve has received its fair share of the active Navy
budget during the majority of the years of the study. The
Naval Reserve's share of the active Navy budget is justified
due to the tremendous growth of personnel and missions in
the Naval Reserve during the period. The growth of the
Naval Reserve budget appears to have been effected more by
the defense buildup of the Reagan administration than by the
formulation of the Total Force concept in 1970 for the Guard
and Reserves. The yearly changes of the Naval Reserve
budget are primarily incremental, which indicates the Naval
Reserve is an agency with an established budgetary base.
