Gen. Charles Luckey, head of the Army Reserve, said the command has been taking a hard look at what units need to do, and how quickly they\u2019d need to do them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOver the last year, we have increased the fidelity on what types of capabilities need to be able to move quickly,\u201d Luckey told reporters at a Defense Writers Group breakfast in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The goal of Ready Force X, which Luckey announced in 2016, is to have formations ready to go in 90 days or less, depending on the contingency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More than 600 units and 50,000 soldiers make up Ready Force X, but Luckey said he\u2019s not focused on the number of formations or troops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By implementing Ready Force X, Luckey said he can see where the Reserve has potential risks, as well as its ability to quickly generate capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if he identifies what the Reserve needs to do, and he knows which units are available to do that, he can assess the readiness of those units. If his assessment is that they\u2019re not sufficiently ready to do this five days from now, then he can address that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat really helps me look at my formations and figure out, \u2018Okay, how do I fix that problem,\u2019 \u201d he said. \u201cOr, in some cases, how do I explain that with a high degree of fidelity to the senior leadership of the Army so that everybody understands this is the risk of trying to do this at this speed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/armytimes\/news\/your-army\/2017\/10\/08\/3-star-army-reserve-focuses-on-readiness-while-balancing-civilian-lives\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/army-reserve-soldiers.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">3-star: Army Reserve focuses on readiness while balancing civilian lives<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The head of Army Reserve Command discusses his priorities and the future.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By assessing units as the Ready Force X ideas get started, Luckey can see where the command needs to adjust some of its efforts and address any potential risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhether it\u2019s changing manning policies \u2026 or who gets the next widget because this formation is going to need to have that widget today\u201d in order to train on it faster, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luckey, who took command in June, said he\u2019s also constantly learning about the niche specialties within the Army Reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He used movement control teams and soldiers who support railroad infrastructure in other countries as examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMany of these teams are very small, but they are extraordinarily important for movement of our commodities and capabilities,\u201d he said. \u201cThere are all kinds of little niche capabilities \u2026 but if you don\u2019t have a way to harmonize those or integrate them, you\u2019re going to have friction that you don\u2019t need.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>\u2018This is a process\u2019<\/b><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to which units can deploy on short notice, Luckey said some formations could be ready in less than a week, but others would take longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy point is \u2026 I don\u2019t think I\u2019ll ever get to a place where I can sit down and tell everybody, \u2018Okay, every one of these units are all this level of manning and equipment and training,\u2019 \u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019ll ever get to a place to say, \u2018Yeah, yeah, we\u2019re good.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luckey said it will take a constant state of assessment and training to make sure the Reserve\u2019s units are ready to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t want to give anyone the notion that this is all going to be solved in six months,\u201d he said. \u201cThis is a process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Part of Ready Force X will be a culture shift, where soldiers need to leave behind the mindset that they have months or years to build readiness, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/armytimes\/news\/your-army\/2016\/12\/12\/3-star-new-ready-force-x-will-help-the-army-reserve-deploy-quickly-when-needed\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/arm-luckey.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">3-star: New &#8216;Ready Force X&#8217;

If a unit was alerted for a possible mobilization in 2019, those soldiers had several years to work their way through the training required to prepare for the mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With Ready Force X, soldiers must be prepared to mobilize in a much shorter timeframe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luckey is also looking to see if the Reserve should be focusing on different areas for recruiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI look at demographics in America, and I look at flow of human capital in the nation and where we need to move force structure to capture that talent,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the Reserve\u2019s focuses is digital key terrain, or areas where there\u2019s a higher density of people who have a certain type of skill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The high-tech industry is one of the places to look, he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Luckey said the Reserve will be testing the waters in certain areas \u201cto capture talent that we may not have focused on before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of these areas include Silicon Valley in California; Cambridge, Massachusetts; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Austin, Texas; and North Carolina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ready Force X should be thought of as a verb more than a noun, Luckey said, because it will be continuing to grow and change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The goal of Ready Force X is to have units capable of deploying on short
