(a) REQUIREMENT TO ESTABLISH.— The Secretary of the Army shall, not later than September 30, 1995, establish one or more active-component units of the Army with the primary mission of providing training support to reserve units. Each such unit shall be part of the active Army force structure and shall have a commander who is on the active-duty list of the Army. (b) IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.— The Secretary of the Army shall during fiscal year 1994 submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives a plan to meet the requirement in subsection (a). The plan shall include a proposal for any statutory changes that the Secretary considers to be necessary for the implementation of the plan. 10 USC 3077 SEC. 616. TEST PROGRAM FOR RESERVE COMBAT MANEUVER UNIT note. INTEGRATION. (a) PLAN FOR TEST PROGRAM. —The Secretary of the Army shall prepare a plan for carrying out a test program to determine the feasibility and advisability of applying the roundout and roundup models for integration of active and reserve component Army units at the battalion and company levels. (b) PURPOSE OF TEST PROGRAM.— The purpose of the test program shall be to evaluate whether the roundout and roundup con- ^ cepts if applied at the battalion and company levels would— (1) decrease post-mobilization training time; (2) increase the capabilities of reserve component leaders; (3) improve the integration of the active and reserve components; and (4) provide a more efficient means for future expansion of the Army in a period of emergency or increasing international threats to the vital interests of the United States. (c) REPORT ON PLAN.— The Secretary of the Army shall submit to Congress not later than March 31, 1994, a report that includes the plan for the test program required under subsection (a). (d) DEFINITIONS.— For purposes of this section, the terms "roundout" and "roimdup" refer to two approaches for integrating Army National Guard and Army Reserve combat units into active Army corps, divisions, brigades, and battalions after mobilization. The roimdout approach is the method of bringing an incomplete active unit up to full strength by assigning one or more reserve component units to it. The roundup approach is the use of reserve component units to augment or expand active units that are already at full strength. SEC. 617.
