Did Rumsfield reorganize the military to be more dependent on the reserves and the guard?

Answer 1

No he did not.

This reorganization occurred at the end of the Vietnam war when the military wanted to ensure that the elected officials could not 'stealth' us into a war like they did in Vietnam.

The theory was that by forcing a callup of the Guard and reserve it would put the national debate before the shooting started and the troops would not have to worry about getting stabbed in the back by the 'peace movement.'

As you can tell - the theory did not work. We had the national debate - but the troops still are getting stabbed in the back by the peace movement.

Answer 2

No. Major reorganizations came with the change to an all-volunteer force after the Vietnam War, and to a lesser extent at the end of the Cold War. Rumsfield was quoted as saying something on the lines of,"You go to war with the army you have, not the army you want," and I think he would have liked a different force structure, but felt the timing was such that they had to go with what they had.

Answer 3

Nope, that was the goal of the First Gulf War.
