Proposal Statement
To urge the United States Congress to pass legislation authorizing locality pay for the Title 32 Technician workforce, aligning their compensation with their federal counterparts and ensuring the National Guard can recruit and retain essential skills in all geographic locations.
Recommendation Information
Title 32 Technicians are the full-time continuity of the National Guard, yet their pay is not aligned with their geographic duty location. This forces Technicians in high-cost-of-living areas to accept compensation far below the local standard for their skills, making it impossible for the Guard to compete with other federal and private sector employers. This chronic recruitment and retention crisis directly degrades readiness.
