Army Launches Reset Pilot
Army News Service | Lindy Dinklage | February 22, 2008

WASHINGTON - The Army has launched a pilot test of the Reset model, an initiative designed to test the ability to accelerate reconstitution of the force, increase unit readiness, and improve preparation for deployment.

Army officials hope that with implementation of the Reset pilot, the service will better be able to systematically restore deployed units to an appropriate level of equipment, and better ready Soldiers and Families for future deployments and contingencies.

"Currently, we're out of balance," said Daniel Egbert, force management program manager for G/3 and lead integrator for the Reset pilot. "The Reset Pilot is a test program that will validate the process to systematically restore deployed units to a level of equipment, Soldier and Family readiness that prepares them to resume training for future missions."

Traditionally, the term Reset was used to describe equipment Reset. The Reset pilot will be more of a holistic Reset, according to Egbert, focusing on the needs of the unit, from individual Soldiers to family members.

The Reset pilot is an enabler to the "Grow the Army" initiative, said Egbert. As the Army grows the size of its force, he said, it can begin to phase into a more systematic, cyclical pattern that focuses on preparing units to respond to a range of possible contingencies. Reset pilot is a first step in creating a balance that restores that rotational capacity, said Egbert.
