Concurrent & Proportional Fielding of Equipment

The Issue

The Army National Guard is an operational force that consistently deploys in support of overseas combat operations performing the same missions as the Active Component and provides domestic emergency response. Yet, it is not equipped in the same manner.

Recommendation

The National Guard Association of the United States (NGAUS) urges Congress to field new equipment and weapons platforms to National Guard units concurrently and proportionally with the Active Component to ensure fully a fully interoperable and lethal Total Force.
