                    The Total Force regular and reserve concept was exercised during OPERAflON DESERT
           STORM and proved that the Naval and Marine Corps reservists are ready to provide critical skills
           whenever and wherever needed.

                     Joint service cooperation between the Navy-Marine Corps team, the U.S. Army, U.S. Air
           Force and U.S. Coast Guard has been superb - on the ground, in the air, and at sea. We are all work-
           ing to bring together our combined arms together to achieve the greatest combat capability possible.
                   I DESERT STORM is a tribute to our All Volunteer Force, our reservists, our families
           and the family support network, including Family Service Centers, chaplains and the Ombudsman
           program. Our people are the key to our ready posture in today's Navy-Marine Corps team.
