MIRC 2025
Our mission is the driving force behind the MIRC 2025 vision to provide intelligence support to meet theater requirements by producing relevant and trained Army Reserve MI formations and soldiers to Combatant Commands.

The intent of MIRC 2025 is to align MIRC formations, through Regionally Aligned Forces (RAF) and Theater Engagement, to best accomplish this mission.

Key to the success of MIRC 2025 is the growth and accurate stationing of MIRC units.
  • The Army Reserve is currently resourced and funded for 205,000 troops, but only 196,000 positions are filled.
  • This shortage, combined with existing and future fiscal constraints, means the Reserves will likely lose even more authorized positions for soldiers. Additionally, the Active Component is suffering a significant reduction of troops with the Army as a whole shrinking from 45 Brigade Combat Teams to 33. 
  • The active forces will also conduct fewer Military Intelligence missions; however, many of the mission requirements will remain. 
  • Therefore, as the rest of the Army is shrinking, Army Reserve Military Intelligence will be asked to expand to fill the gap. 
  • The continued requirement for Military Intelligence capabilities and the drawdown of the Active Component force are the primary reasons why the MIRC will grow from nearly 6,000 authorized positions to approximately 7,500. 



This growth in troops and mission requirements will fuel force structure changes as the MIRC expands. The MIRC is growing and, as such, there will be more career opportunities for Army Reserve Military Intelligence Soldiers than ever. MIRC 2025 will place the MIRC in a position to answer current and future intelligence requirements.
