Analysis and Recommendations on the Company-Grade Officer Shortfall in the Reserve Components of the U.S. Army

By Ian P. Cook, Catherine H. Augustine, James Coley, et al.

The U.S. Army National Guard and Reserve have more lieutenants but fewer captains than they are authorized to have. This monograph addresses the shortfall of captains, explores the magnitude of the shortfall, makes recommendations, and assesses the concepts of a National Guard academy and of requiring Officer Candidate School entrants to hold a four-year degree as feasible partial solutions to the shortfall.
