For the past ten years, Army National Guard (ARNG) Special Forces (SF) soldiers have been operating alongside their Active Component Special Forces brothers in both Afghanistan and Iraq as part of the operational force. These ARNG soldiers have achieved a readiness level comparable with the AC in training, equipment and personnel. However, the war in Iraq is over, the war in Afghanistan is drawing down and America is facing an economic recession resulting in the ARNG SF once again becoming a strategic reserve. This in turn is dramatically affecting the ARNG SF units in areas of readiness, morale and retention. An appropriate alternative must be determined to overcome this transformation.

With the elimination of combat arms from the Army Reserve, remaining reserve Special Forces (SF) units are in the Army National Guard (ARNG). In light of the current Congressional Roles and Missions Commission, a review of ARNG SF roles, missions and future is in order to identify appropriate operational parameters. This paper reviews the history of reserve SF, surveys international reserve special operations forces, and discusses ARNG SF apportionment and accessibility issues. The Army needs to recognize the similarities and differences of Army SF and ARNG SF in order to fine tune the qualification process and to access a usable reserve SF. Due to the inherent broad index of civilian skills acting as an additional force multiplier, ARNG SF are best utilized for missions which reflect a blend of peacetime FID/HA/SA. To better accomplish these missions, ARNG SF need to be assigned specific regional areas and be provided stability of orientation to better develop the cultural expertise required by SF missions.

Currently, U.S. armed forces are facing a rapidly shifting environment. Even as the major combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq that defined the last decade are coming to an end, a wide variety of new and evolving challenges, both abroad and at home, are confronting the nation’s military. The U.S. Army National Guard faces a unique set of dynamics, given its role in domestic as well as overseas operations. As the Army National Guard considers its future, it asked the CSIS Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Program to provide an independent analysis of the strategic-level issues facing the Guard, as well as its evolving roles and missions. This report provides policymakers and practitioners with objective insights and recommendations to assist in outlining potential future responsibilities for the Army National Guard.

Currently, ARNG SF Soldiers and Units are essential components of the United States National Security Strategy (NSS). Yet these part-time SF Soldiers are not trained to the same standard as their Active SF counterparts. Army National Guard SF units are not sufficiently trained or resourced. Their capabilities and readiness were further degraded by their recent high operational tempo. This SRP addresses shortfalls in ARNG SF training and standards and provides recommendations to require all SF Soldiers to meet the same Army standards in order to support the NSS. The National Security Strategy (NSS) specifies that the nation will make use of every resource in our arsenal to win the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). In this war the enemy is not a single political entity, but one that is politically and religiously motivated. This enemy takes great pleasure in violence against the innocent. But this enemy has seen what the strategic asset Special Operations Forces (SOF) can accomplish in Afghanistan and Iraq. With its global reach, SOF will continue to provide a vital means for winning the war against terrorists. Indeed, such strategists as TX Hammes assert that we are entering a fourth generation of warfare in which SOF will play a critical role. Hammes observes that insurgents and terrorists are not impressed with conventional power. They will use techniques and tactics that circumvent the training and experience of our conventional forces. This is why SOF plays a significant role in the National Security Strategy. According to Hammes, it is essential that we recruit, train, educate, and retain the kinds of personnel we need to fight in the 21st century. Currently, Army National Guard (ARNG) SOF Soldiers and units are essential components of U.S. SOF capabilities to support the NSS. Yet these part-time SOF Soldiers are not always trained to the same standards as are Active SOF Soldiers, and ARNG SOF units are likewise not sufficiently trained or resourced. Their capabilities and readiness have been further degraded by their recent high operational tempo. Accordingly, the Army's overall SOF capabilities have been weakened. Yet these Soldiers and units are needed more than ever to defeat the emerging terrorist threats. This SRP describes the similarities and differences between Active and ARNG SOF and includes the writer's perspectives based on 31 years' experience within the community. Additionally, it identifies shortfalls and concludes with recommendations for holding all SOF Soldiers and units to the same Army standards in order to support the NSS.

U.S. Army Special Operations Command sought options for enhancing the contributions of the Special Forces Groups of the U.S. Army National Guard (ARNG). The research was motivated by the sponsor's belief that ARNG might occupy high-value capability niches that could be put to use in future deployments. This study analyzed ARNG Special Forces capabilities as well as the legal and policy guidance that governs ARNG's functioning.

Army Special Forces units are trained to conduct sensitive special operations including unconventional warfare, counterterrorism, direct action and strategic reconnaissance missions. Many of the unique skills and capabilities found in Special Forces units have potential applications to homeland security operations. Despite an absence of doctrine for domestic operations, Special Forces --especially Army National Guard Special Forces -- are likely to be employed in future homeland security operations. This thesis examines potential homeland security missions for Special Forces. Additionally, given the unique first-responder role of the National Guard, this thesis analyzes potential policy changes needed to enhance National Guard Special Forces contributions to homeland security. The absence of doctrine for domestic Special Forces operations potentially adversely impacts Army National Guard Special Forces. Given the unique constitutionally mandated nature of the National Guard, state governors have the ability to activate their forces, including Army National Guard Special Forces, for homeland security operations. The absence of doctrine for domestic Special Forces operations can potentially lead to the misuse, overuse or illegal use of these strategic assets. Enhancing the National Guard's capacity to correctly use Special Forces in domestic operations will enhance the country's overall security posture.

U.S. special operations forces are doing more things in more places than ever before. They are now active in some seventy countries and, since 2001, have seen their combined budget nearly quintuple -- a trend that seems likely to continue. As the United States seeks ways to tackle a range of security threats worldwide, shore up the resilience of its friends and allies against terrorist and criminal networks, and minimize need for large-scale military interventions, the importance of special operations forces will grow. Yet, the strategic vision for special operations forces has not kept pace with the growing demands for their skills. Most people -- and, indeed, many policymakers -- associate the special operations forces with secret nighttime raids like the one that targeted Osama bin Laden: tactical operations against a particular individual or group. The abilities of special operations forces, however, extend much further, into military training, information operations, civil affairs, and more. As the United States shifts its focus from war fighting to building and supporting its partners, the author argues, it will become critical to better define these strategic capabilities and ensure that special operations forces have the staffing and funding to succeed. The author further calls on the Pentagon to remove bureaucratic and operational obstacles to cooperation among the special operations forces of each service, and between special and conventional forces. She also recommends that all special operations forces commands work to develop a pipeline of talented, motivated officers with expertise in these issues, and that the role of civilian leadership in budget and operational oversight be reinforced.
