As far as the RC forces going to support Mother Army I feel this is where they are used and needed the most. I'm sure the USSOCOM Commander has been wondering why all his training and equipment dollars have been going to support elements outside of his command.
War tracing AC units can work wonders when in comes down to the amount and type of training you are able to conduct. Not to mention equipment interoperability etc.... 4th POG and 75th have done this for about 6 years now with good success and continue to renew their MOA. I know 96th used to send the same guys along as well (QP's), but I don't know if this was due to any kind of official agreement.
The part of this change that is going to pose problems (and already is) is that SWCS retains proponency and is responsible for training ALL CA/PSYOP forces. They are already whining about course lengths etc....

Yes all but one each CA and PSYOP are being transferred to US Army Reserve Command (USARC). There will be one active CA Brigade (might call it a Group) and one active PSYOP Group under USASOC. The two active Brigades/Groups (1 each CA and PSYOP) will be under USASOC with a focus on supporting SOF and contingency ops (much like now). The RC under USARC will focus on support Big Army missions and units.
CA and PSYOP are growing on both the AC and RC side just like USASFC and SWC are under PDM 3. Lots of fun all around for everyone.
USASOC (SWCS) remains the proponent for CA and PSYOP. Doesn’t change a lot except when we go for funding, its all in the P-Dollars.
