Areas to address • What are the current requirements for the military technician program and how do the Army Reserve, Air Force Reserve, and Army and Air National Guards use their MilTechs to support their reserve and guard missions? How does the MilTech program work? • What are the benefits, challenges, and costs associated with the military technician program for the USAR, ARNG, AFR, and ANG? • What other options might the Army, Air Force, and National Guard use to meet mission requirements otherwise met by MilTechs ? • What are the relative personnel costs of alternative manning options and what are the cost implications—pro or con—of transitioning to an alternative manpower solution? • Should it advisable to modify the MilTech program as a distinct personnel category, what administrative and legislative actions would be needed? • By what means might DOD manage the transition of the MilTech program to one that relies on some combination of active duty, reserve, and civilian personnel?
