This document was prepared in response to a study request from the Secretary of the Army. This study provides an examination of the mobilization and use of Army National Guard (ARNG) and Army Reserve (USAR) forces for the Vietnam War. Chapter 2 reviews the historical mobilization experiences of the United States in order to gain an appreciation and perspective of the mobilization and use of the Militia/National Guard and Reserves throughout US history. Chapter 3 examines the extent to which the President and his civilian and military advisers consider mobilization during the first 3 years of the Vietnam ground war and the rationale behind the non-mobilization during this period. Chapter 4 focuses on the 1968 mobilization for the Vietnam War and addresses in detail what happened regarding the Army Reserve Component forces involved. Chapter 5 ends the study with conclusions and interpretation relative to mobilization in general and to the partial mobilization for the Vietnam War.
