By Tom Bowman Tribune Newspapers: The Baltimore Sun The Army Reserve, a force of some 200,000 part-time soldiers who provide key support in Iraq (news - web sites) and Afghanistan (news - web sites) with medics, engineers and truck drivers, "is rapidly degenerating into a `broken' force," its top general has told senior Army leaders. Lt. Gen. James "Ron" Helmly, the chief of the Army Reserve, in a blunt and detailed memo cited the demands of overseas commitments and the unwillingness of Army and Pentagon (news - web sites) officials to change "dysfunctional" policies that are hampering the Army Reserve on issues ranging from training and extension of service time to the mobilization of his soldiers. continued story.news.yahoo.com
