Description
Summary:This report describes the Infantry Individual Ready Reserve (IRR) soldier during mobilization for Operation Desert Storm. Since mobilization is a historically rare event, the leadership of Fort Benning asked the U.S. Army Research Institute for the Behavioral and Social Sciences Fort Benning Field Unit to capture information that can be used to improve future mobilization(s) and mobilization planning. The statistically descriptive profile contained in this report is based on a survey of 2,641 Infantry IRR soldiers, direct observation, and supplementary performance data. Information is provided on soldier performance, backgrounds, attitudes, concerns, and responses to the various events that occurred early in the mobilization process.
