“…Many expressed feeling that (a) they did not receive accurate and timely information on the progress of military operations and on events impacting their ability to keep families and employers apprised of their personal situation, (b) their in-processing was disorganized, and (c) they were not treated like equals by the AC. In a separate data collection effort (Steinberg, 1991), we found similar problems reported by ERR soldiers who had been mobilized for ODS. Although our work was completed over 5 years ago, the more recent findings of others show that many of our findings still hold true today (Amerind, Inc., 1997a, 1997b) and support the above-mentioned areas where the Army could improve the call-up experiences of RC soldiers.…”

“…Indeed, during CF93 over half of the IRR complained of being treated like a recruit and over half felt that the exhaustive schedule affected their performance. Similar attitudes and concerns were voiced during the IRR call up for Operation Desert Storm (Steinberg, 1991).…”

For this report, skill reacquisition data were collected during a mobilization training exercise on 76 individual ready reserve (IRR) soldiers (combat engineers) who had been Separated from active duty for periods ranging up to 10 years. Military occupational knowledge was measured before and after a 5-day rapid train-up and hands-on performance for 18 110S tasks was recorded. Increases in task knowledge were strongly related to p)rior active duty status (full tour vs. initial entry training only) and Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT) scores (above vs. below the 50th percentile). ____--_ __We wish to express our appreciation for the support and the coordinating actions that enabled us to integrate thi3 research into the much larger Call Forward 93 (CF93) mobilization exercise. Specifically, we extend our thanks to COL Alan Sepe, Director, Mobilization Directorate, Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel, and John Henderson, Plans and Execution Division, Training and Doctrine Command, for encouraging and supporting the insertion of our research into CF93. Coordination and scheduling required to accomplish a seamless integration of this research was made possible by staff of the 98th Division (Training) The Department of the Army, Assistant Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel tasked the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences (ARI) to develop a continuing program of study on the question of skill decay and reacquisition. This tasking stemmed from an interest in extending the knowledge gained during Operation Desert Storm, in which ARI investigated skill decay, rapid train-up, and the attitudes, motivations, and concerns of those mobilized from the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR). Procedure:Skill reacquisition data were collected on 126 IRR volunteers (99 Lcombat engineers and 27 carpentry and masonry specialists) who had been separated from active duty for periods ranging from 7 months to over 10 years. The data collection was tied into Call Forward 93 (CF93), a mobilization training exercise conducted at Fort Leonard Wood from May o July 1993. MOS school knowledge tests developed for these two MOS were given before and after a 5-day rapid train-up program. Hands-on testing of various MOS tasks occurred immediately after the training for each task, and performance was recorded in specially designed evaluation booklets. Findings:Due to the larger sample, the principal statistical analyses focused on skill reacquisition by the combat engineers. In analyzing the variability in performance on the knowledge tests (where a score of .>70% was cons lered "proficient"), a distinct pattein emerged, which was generally supported by a sim tr pattern in the hands-on testing:a.

“…Расположивост научно-стручне литературе посвећене проблема-тици попуне оружаних снага није превелика, а посебно не када је реч о проблема-тици активне резерве. Уочљиво је да постоји више радова [7,8], на тему војне слу-жбе у резерви у оним земљама у којима су раније отпочели процеси који су у узроч-но-последичној вези са активном резервом (укидање обавезе служења војног рока, професионализација, итд. ).…”

Министарство одбране Републике Србије, Институт за стратегијска истраживања рупне концептуалне промене у начину попуне оружаних снага, као што је увођење професионализације, укидање обавезног служења војног рока, увођење концепта активне резерве, али и други фактори, стварају потребу за разматрањем и решавањем нових класа проблема у вези с попуном јединица Војске и организација у Министарству одбране. У основи проблема налази се стохастична природа величине и структуре људског контингента који је спреман да на принципу добровољности бу-де уговорно ангажован на одређено време у вршењу војне службе кроз механизам активне резерве. Концепт активне резерве отвара многа пи-тања не само са аспекта војне организације већ и у вези радно-правног статуса грађана. Једно од првих и основних питања јесте колики је ниво заинтересованости и спремности за ангажовање у активној резерви.У овом раду приказани су резултати истраживања о заинтересова-ности за службу у активној резерви у Републици Србији које је реали-зовано крајем 2014. године.Кључне речи: Војска, попуна, активна резерва, заинтересованост за војну службу Увод ојску Србије чини стални и резервни састав. Резервни састав дели се на ак-тивну и пасивну резерву, које чине резервни официри, резервни подофицири и војници у резерви. Припадник активне резерве постаје се потписивањем уговора на одређено време, а конкретне процедуре у вези с пријемом, као и права и обавеза, уређују се прописима које доноси Влада РС (Закон о ВС члан 5), [1]. Ради недвосми-сленог појмовног одређења појма "активна резерва" (АР) наводи се дефиниција пре-ма материјалима доступним на интернет сајту Министарства одбране РС: "Активна резерва представља обучени резервни састав ВС који се ангажује за попуну једини-ца ВС и МО, ради извршавања задатака у одређеном периоду и чија су права и ду-жности регулисана законом, подзаконским прописима и закљученим уговором" [2].* Приказ резултата истраживања садржаних у овом раду делимично је подржало Министарство за образовање и науку кроз интердисциплинарни пројекат број: ИИИ-47029 ("Рентабилни избор нових технологија и концепција одбране кроз друштвене промене и стратешке оријентације Србије у 21. веку).** Пуковник проф. др Небојша В.
