项目摘要

The Army Reserve, the Maritime Reserve and the Royal Auxiliary Air Force are to be significantly expanded in ways intended to develop the ability of the UK armed forces to meet the challenges of a constantly evolving security environment as we move forward into the 21st Century. This research will provide a rigorous evidence base with which to maximise the proposed transformation in ways that will enhance operational effectiveness of this newly configured force. Specifically, it addresses a number of key challenges associated with the proposed transformation of the armed forces under the Future Reserves 2020 programme, in ways that ensure not just the assimilation of reservists, but crucially, their genuine integration. In order to do so, the research will focus on the consequences of the reservist policy for the relationship between the armed forces and its host society, what it means to be both a soldier and a civilian in citizenship and identity terms, how employers both view and respond to the FR20 programme, and ultimately, the likelihood that such a transformation will succeed. In more detailed terms, the research will investigate what kinds of civilian held skills are most likely to be attractive to the armed forces and vice versa, as well as look in-depth at what it means to be a reservist. How do reservists negotiate their participation in and transitions between the armed forces and the civilian work-place? What does it mean to be deployed in an operational theatre for the experience of moving back to a qualitatively different civilian environment? How do these transitions impact on employers? How might employers be better placed to facilitate reserve service? Addressing these and closely allied questions is an integral aspect of the wider changes being proposed to the armed forces reserves and to the armed forces, and the intention of the research is to provide a robust evidence base to inform the proposed changes. The research will use a mixed-methods approach. A large-scale quantitative survey of reservists conducted at two time-points during the project will generate longitudinal data on reservist employment experiences and attitudes. Semi-structured interviews with a sample of reservists, with follow-up interviews to generate a longitudinal dimension, will capture reservist perspectives on their positions as hybrid citizen-soldiers as the Future Reserves 2020 programme progresses, including data on civilian employment patterns. Case studies of a sample of different employer types will generate data on employer perspectives, particularly the management of reservists within the labour force. The empirical research will be contextualised within reviews and analysis of existing policy documentation and relevant literatures, including a review of analogous experiences of reservist transformations in other national contexts.A project advisory group, including representatives from the Ministry of Defence and armed forces charged with making the changes under the Future Reserves 2020 programme, will ensure input into the project from the defence community as the research progresses, and will facilitate wider communication and use of relevant research findings. The research findings will be disseminated to a range of defence, other non-academic and relevant academic audiences and readerships using mechanisms to facilitate research impact. Outputs will include an expert workshop for senior military personnel, policy briefs summarising key research findings for policy-makers and practitioners, short journal pieces in relevant current affairs and defence policy publications, and academic journal articles in peer-reviewed military sociology, political science, employment sociology and international relations journals. .

陆军预备队、海上预备队和皇家辅助空军将大幅扩充，以发展英国武装部队的能力，以应对21世纪不断变化的安全环境的挑战。这项研究将提供严格的证据基础，以最大限度地提高这支新组建部队的作战效率。具体而言，它解决了与“未来储备2020”计划下拟议的武装部队转型相关的一些关键挑战，其方式不仅要确保预备役人员的同化，更重要的是，要确保他们的真正融合。为了做到这一点，研究将集中在预备役政策对武装部队与其东道国社会之间关系的影响，在公民身份和身份方面，既是士兵又是平民意味着什么，雇主如何看待和应对FR20计划，以及最终，这种转变成功的可能性。更详细地说，这项研究将调查哪些平民拥有的技能最有可能吸引武装部队，反之亦然，并深入研究预备役人员的意义。预备役人员如何协商他们在武装部队和文职工作场所之间的参与和过渡？部署在战区以获得回到一个性质不同的平民环境的经验意味着什么？这些转变对雇主有何影响？雇主如何才能更好地为后备役提供便利？解决这些问题和密切相关的问题是向武装部队预备役和武装部队提出的更广泛变革的一个组成部分，研究的目的是提供一个强有力的证据基础，为拟议的变革提供信息。这项研究将采用混合方法。在项目期间的两个时间点对预备役人员进行大规模定量调查，将产生关于预备役人员就业经历和态度的纵向数据。对预备役人员样本进行半结构化访谈，并进行后续访谈以产生纵向维度，将捕捉预备役人员对其作为“未来预备役2020”计划进展中的混合公民-士兵职位的看法，包括关于平民就业模式的数据。对不同雇主类型的样本进行个案研究将产生关于雇主观点的数据，特别是关于劳动力中预备役人员的管理。实证研究将在审查和分析现有政策文件和有关文献的背景下进行，包括审查其他国家背景下预备役人员转变的类似经验。一个项目咨询小组，包括来自国防部和武装部队的代表，负责在“未来储备2020”计划下进行变更，将确保随着研究的进展，国防界对项目的投入，并将促进更广泛的交流和使用相关的研究成果。研究结果将利用促进研究影响的机制，传播给一系列国防、其他非学术和相关学术受众和读者。产出将包括为高级军事人员举办的专家讲习班、为决策者和实践者提供的总结主要研究结果的政策简报、有关时事和国防政策出版物的简短期刊文章、同行评议的军事社会学、政治学、就业社会学和国际关系期刊的学术期刊文章。
