Q&A with Gen. John E. Hyten
Aug. 18, 2020 | By John A. Tirpak

Excerpt

Q. "The Guard and Reserve can scarcely be called a strategic reserve anymore; they’re fully engaged. Should those organizations be rethought?"

A. "I think it’s time for us to look at the Guard and Reserve with a fresh set of eyes."

"About a month ago we had over 100,000 National Guardsmen on Active duty in support of COVID, and in support of governors around the country for all of the issues after the murder of George Floyd. That’s not a strategic reserve; that is an employed force. It puts a huge burden on our civilian employers. At the beginning of the coronavirus, we planned to bring them on for less than 90 days. Well, they’re still on, and they’re probably going to be through the rest of the year."

"Over the last few years, we put so much capability—medical capability being one—into the Guard and Reserve that when we have to do an operation, we can’t do it without them."

"We are demanding so much from them. We have to figure out a different model."
