SUMMARY
o OrEanization. An Agency-sponsored military reserve unit has
existed in some form since March 1949. Since mid-1962 it has been established
as an independent command -- The Joint Military Reserve Training Command
(JMRTC) -- to coordinate the training activities of Army, Air Force and Marine
25X1
reserve elements. A separate Navy element reports directly to the Navy
Department but participates in JMRTC meetings. One Coast Guard officer also
is associated with the Agency unit. The JMRTC is subordinate to the Director
of Personnel.
JMRTC Program. The JMRTC mission is to provide that peacetime
training and support to Agency reservists required to prepare them for wartime
functions in support of the CIA. The training program administered by JMRTC
consists of: weekly auditorium assemblies; special projects in support of DIA
and the Army; special training courses; and annual active duty tours of two
week duration. A special Air Force element
in which many Agency
Air Force reservists are members, provides direct support in peacetime to the
25X1
DoD and Air Force and meets eight weekends per year on a for-pay basis.

o Agency Reservists in External Units. Someu Agency employees
are military reservists, belonging to outside reserve units not controlled by
the DCI.
o Costs and Benefits of Agency Program. Actual program costs are
minimal: one full-time GS-8 staff employee in the Office of Personnel and
part-time support from one secretary and staff officer. An indirect cost is
incurred through the "dual compensation" provided by the granting of "military
leave with pay" during the reservists' annual two-week active duty tour. Such
tours are common throughout the Federal Government. Program benefits include
access to, and participation in, the DoD decisionmaking process by Agency
officers; skill enhancement through attendance at military schools and
participation in exercises and other DoD activities;
and the fostering of contact and
enhanced cooperation between CIA, DoD, and the services.

o New Organizational Concept. A new mission and organizational
concept has been proposed as the basis for reorienting the reserve program on
a wartime mission that would provide direct CIA support to DoD's Unified
Commands and Joint Task Forces. This concept involves the creation of
Regional Coordination Groups -- all-service elements -- under the JMRTC, each
tailored to the particular requirements of a supported command. This concept
would i volve adjustments -- and probably some increase -- in the adminis-
trative load of the Office of Personnal,
and a reorientation of the unit training program to focus peacetime
activities on the anticipated wartime role of the Regional Coordination
Groups.
