SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title; Associated Form; and OMB Number: Reserve Component Spouse Survey; OMB Control Number 0704-0653.
Needs and Uses: The DoD Survey of Reserve Component Spouses is the primary source for reliable and generalizable data on the effects of military life on military spouses and their families and the impact of military life on Reserve component war fighter readiness and retention. This data provides vital information on the need for programs and policies under the purview of DoD's Military Community and Family Policy Department. Without this biennial survey, DoD would not have current data to guide limited resources to the appropriate programs, policies, and services related to reserve component spouses, their families, and service members.
This survey provides an opportunity for military spouses to directly expand policy maker's knowledge by sharing their experiences and opinions on issues that directly affect them. Success of current efforts, the impact of activations and deployments, and opportunities to identify areas of need are captured via this biennial survey. These survey results ensure that policy-making decisions are based on current and statistically reliable data regarding the lived experiences of Reserve component families.
The legislation authorizing the USD(P&R) to conduct these surveys is provided under 10 United States Code (U.S.C.), Sections 136, 1782 and 2358, and 37 U.S.C., Section 1008(b).

Annual Burden Hours: 8,900.
Number of Respondents: 17,800.
Responses per Respondent: 1.
Annual Responses: 17,800.
