Abstract
Abstract : The Army has grievously neglected the Army National Guard's operational readiness for over 65 years. Army National Guard (ARNG) equipment shortfalls due to limited funding are hampering ARNG units in their role as an operational reserve force. Equipment issues for some ARNG units vary: some inherited antiquated equipment handed down by their active component counterparts; some did not acquire new equipment until they were scheduled for mobilization during the pre-mobilization phase. Current ARNG equipment shortfalls could prevent the ARNG from sustaining itself as an operational reserve force transformed to 21st century standards. Equipment shortfalls will also impact future state and federal missions. This SRP addresses the strategic issues of balancing ARNG state missions, federal missions, new equipment training, theater-provided equipment, and role in Army Force Generation. It recommends ways to support and equip the ARNG so it can serve as a fully functional operational force capable of supporting the 21st century national strategy.
