WEBVTT 00:03.350 --> 00:06.320 Here's the look what's happening abounded on me with that. 00:07.010 --> 00:10.340 Balancing the force the challenges that we do finance paler and 00:10.340 --> 00:14.420 a-changing to the environment one and those affected promoting 00:14.460 --> 00:15.650 army reserve take of those. 00:16.240 --> 00:19.670 People operational is buying gates and arm inside the hunted. 00:20.400 --> 00:23.540 And selling them what we bring to the table and if there's so 00:23.540 --> 00:26.770 just come together from across america to ban foreign debt that 00:26.770 --> 00:30.810 to bring into an airfield foreign maids and I think that's all 00:30.810 --> 00:32.640 that the story and more that. 00:33.200 --> 00:35.130 If it gets up on the set today. 00:36.340 --> 00:39.700 We begin with the top story. It was a forced bill to meet the 00:39.700 --> 00:43.040 needs of two wars and the contingencies and missions at home 00:43.510 --> 00:46.600 the army reserve grew to meet the needs of the country in terms 00:46.600 --> 00:48.870 of both soldiers and civilian employees. 00:49.450 --> 00:52.930 Now they're urgency is no longer needed and both the active and 00:52.930 --> 00:56.220 reserve components are downsizing to meet the nation's manpower 00:56.250 --> 00:57.610 in fiscal requirements. 00:58.210 --> 01:01.670 Over the next two years. The army reserve will be fewer soldiers 01:01.670 --> 01:05.600 to support army missions and the army reserves civilian workforce 01:05.730 --> 01:06.770 will shrink as well. 01:07.280 --> 01:10.960 James bill aki army reserve command executive officer in cannon 01:10.960 --> 01:14.340 slider director the so they in personal management office that 01:14.340 --> 01:17.900 us army reserve command headquarters at Fort bragg north carolina 01:18.210 --> 01:21.850 spoke with us about the challenges I hate it it's these periods 01:21.850 --> 01:23.630 of are trench nut when we. 01:24.260 --> 01:28.770 In fact the local introspective laying that are race on daft 01:28.770 --> 01:30.500 have so we'll why we exist. 01:31.090 --> 01:35.900 And for what purposes the nation needs us specifically with regard 01:35.900 --> 01:37.190 to the are mirrors are. 01:37.800 --> 01:42.260 Of this idea of of life saving life sustaining force bringing 01:42.260 --> 01:43.600 that concept to life. 01:44.240 --> 01:49.010 And operational lodging it for army leaders and for the nation's leaders. 01:49.520 --> 01:53.890 Of this is really at a great time for us to be able to reflect 01:53.890 --> 01:58.950 on that and to bring defer means and methods of employment of 01:58.950 --> 02:02.300 our force to make that concept a reality up I'd. 02:03.380 --> 02:06.590 It's challenging because we are going through difficult times 02:06.590 --> 02:11.120 one one areas anc's kimono workforce and and frankly I feel it to. 02:11.640 --> 02:15.470 A But it also provides a chance to have a little bit more intellectual 02:15.470 --> 02:16.530 dialogue about. 02:17.420 --> 02:21.910 What the what the the purpose of a our forces for and how we 02:21.910 --> 02:24.950 are on hold it up in the important thing and there is there to 02:25.020 --> 02:28.320 from army leadership fall and army reserve leadership following down. 02:28.890 --> 02:32.430 A we believe that each and every employee and is as vital to 02:32.430 --> 02:33.360 the organization. 02:34.000 --> 02:38.210 Um we'll do everything that we can define a place warm I'm within 02:38.210 --> 02:42.420 the organization. However the reality is is that may be a challenge um. 02:44.180 --> 02:47.470 It is hard to gauge. What's gonna be required of um. 02:48.080 --> 02:50.490 Employees of are left behind because we're gonna have to make 02:50.490 --> 02:53.270 some tough decisions about what we're gonna have to stop doing 02:53.380 --> 02:55.680 I'm in the things that will have to do differently. 02:56.300 --> 02:59.550 What the title like full court press it may sound like a game 02:59.780 --> 03:02.700 that the army reserves chief the stand and deputy chief of staff 03:02.860 --> 03:06.780 and shores is no gain is serious business major general lowly 03:06.780 --> 03:10.260 the spot and brigadier general Tammy smith say that retention 03:10.290 --> 03:14.290 is a leadership responsibility from generals on down to sergeant's 03:14.700 --> 03:18.240 taking the time to know appreciate and understand and is the 03:18.240 --> 03:22.410 key to keeping boats and a jail hall for I think mentoring isn't 03:22.450 --> 03:25.430 very porgi feel understand one mentoring it's all about. 03:26.130 --> 03:29.940 Uh I I don't think that we take enough time for us to truly appreciate 03:29.940 --> 03:33.770 the value and importance of a mentoring relationship not only 03:33.770 --> 03:37.610 I use serving owes someone be mentored. By and mentor vote more 03:37.610 --> 03:40.560 poorly that you also can sarah's a mentored for somebody else. 03:40.860 --> 03:43.260 So it's all understanding the relationship between the mentor 03:43.260 --> 03:46.370 and the men tea. What's the process. But it all to lowly. 03:46.370 --> 03:49.080 What's the outcome. What's the end state that we're trying to 03:49.080 --> 03:51.930 chief when you've established a mentor relationship but it's 03:51.930 --> 03:55.960 all basically based upon their knowledge their experience is 03:55.960 --> 03:59.340 their training that myself you know I was on the person. 03:59.340 --> 04:04.540 That's be mentor that I can maximize in be truly truly openness. 04:04.540 --> 04:07.130 Okay this is the town's that I'm facing does of the opportune 04:07.130 --> 04:10.080 is that I'm seeking what do you think is a stranded today to 04:10.080 --> 04:11.990 comply in our for me to be successful. 04:12.510 --> 04:17.390 Um because I'm a believer that sucks says lee's um various different 04:17.680 --> 04:22.210 of all strategist behind collagen. He can utilize in in our forest 04:22.210 --> 04:25.230 enough to have to reinvent the wheel sort of speak in their stride 04:25.230 --> 04:28.590 is I de that we can apply base upon somebody else assess experience 04:28.820 --> 04:32.090 and that's how we maximize a mentoring relationships. There is 04:32.090 --> 04:32.960 no silver bullet. 04:34.100 --> 04:38.810 There is not one thing that is across the army reserve point 04:38.810 --> 04:42.750 to say that's the one thing that is going to have this maintain 04:42.750 --> 04:46.020 our strength ready to this to a pity toward stayed of writing us. 04:46.430 --> 04:48.280 It's several things. 04:49.030 --> 04:53.620 Very complex working together. But if there's an seen gold thread 04:53.670 --> 04:55.900 they close to olive it hits. 04:56.440 --> 04:57.210 Leader engagement. 04:57.870 --> 04:58.860 And leader caring. 04:59.390 --> 05:03.070 And the ability to think out into the future. So that you can 05:03.070 --> 05:06.910 get fewer soldiers predictability and what they're going to be 05:06.910 --> 05:10.470 doing as part of our mercer career stay with us are there is 05:10.470 --> 05:12.130 there to date will be right.
