“…In the United States, for example, the National Guard is routinely involved in joint exercises with active forces, allowing them to retain necessary skills and ensure interoperability with active components. In the UK, Territorial Reservicing is often integrated in military operations, exercises and joint educational activities with the regular Armed Forces (Connelly, 2021).…”

This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method to explore lessons that can be drawn from Russia's experience in building an effective military reserve component. The article discusses the importance of establishing a robust and effective reserve force in Indonesia, drawing lessons from Russia's experiences and strategies employed by other nations. It emphasizes the need for a well-structured organization, clear command structures, efficient hierarchies, and regular training programs. The integration of technology and information systems, as well as the provision of welfare and incentives, is also highlighted as essential components for enhancing the effectiveness and readiness of Indonesia's reserve forces. The document also emphasizes the necessity of clear regulations and policies to provide a strong legal framework, ensuring the operational effectiveness and integrity of Indonesia's reserve forces. Additionally, it underscores the importance of integrating reserve components with regular forces through joint exercises, standardized doctrines, and operational procedures. The document concludes by emphasizing the opportunity for Indonesia to design a resilient reserve force by learning from Russia's challenges and strategies employed by other nations, ensuring the creation of a large, effective, well-trained, and deployable reserve force to balance and strengthen the overall national defense system.

“…These social constructions illustrate the fluid nature of reservists' experiences and demonstrate the need for a holistic examination of the phenomenon that pays attention to the deferential and super-dynamic character of reserve military service which takes place in various operational settings and social contexts. Connelly's (2020) article points to the different status and prestige of diverse components of the military reserves. More specifically, Connelly investigates causes and consequences of the marginalization of part-time British Army reservists.…”

This Armed Forces & Society forum is dedicated to exploring recent trends in the characteristics of military reserves and of the changing character of reserve forces within the armed forces within the military, the civilian sphere, and in between them. To bring new and critical perspectives to the study of reserve forces and civil–military relations, this introduction and the five articles that follow draw on two organizing conceptual models: The first portrays reservists as transmigrants and focuses on the plural membership of reservists in the military and in civilian society and the “travel” between them. The second model focuses on the multiple formal and informal compacts (contracts, agreements, or pacts) between reservists and the military.

Effective integration of the Regular and Reserve Armed Forces is essential to operational effectiveness, but evidence suggests that this remains problematic. Past research has focused on the professional values of Regulars and the perceptions that this group holds about Reservists. In this study, we argue that it is necessary to consider the perceptions of both Regulars and Reservists to truly understand the barriers to integration between these elements of Defence. This study investigates what Regular and Reserve Royal Marines see as the important constructs related to each group, through the use of repertory grid technique with 18 Regulars and 16 Reservists. Not only did the Regulars and Reservists in this study see different constructs as important, they also ascribed different constructs to each group. These differences are potentially problematic when aiming to integrate the Regular and Reserve Armed Forces.
