INTERESTING APPROACH

If you are a reservist, this is worth a read.
Lt. Gen. James R. Helmly, chief of the Army Reserve, said he is working with Army leaders on a plan to apportion the Army Reserves into eight to 10 fully manned “Army Reserve Expeditionary Packages,” or AREPs, that will cycle through a predictable schedule of training and preparation, eligibility for deployment, and rest and reconstitution.

The goal is to develop a system in which reservists would be eligible to deploy or be deployed “every four to five years,” Helmly told Pentagon reporters.
