Equipping the National Guard

     The issue of properly equipping the National Guard has
     reached unacceptable proportions. Prior to 9-11 National
     Guard units were for the most part at no more than 70%
    of authorized equipping levels. The strains of the Global
   War on Terrorism have sent those levels to 50% or less
    across the states and territories. Immediate action is
     required to rebuild these units now if they are to be
    prepared to respond to both warfighting and homeland
    security taskings.
