                                 A BILL

 
    To require increases in the strengths of the full-time support 
  personnel for the Army National Guard of the United States through 
  fiscal year 2011 to support the readiness and training of the Army 
    National Guard of the United States to meet increasing mission 
                 requirements, and for other purposes.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Significant growth in the operational commitments of 
        the Army has made it necessary for Army leaders to rely 
        increasingly on the Army National Guard of the United States to 
        carry out Army missions.
            (2) The full-time military technicians and Active Guard/
        Reserve (AGR) personnel of the Army National Guard of the 
        United States are critical to the maintenance and operation 
        and, ultimately, to the readiness of the units of the Army 
        National Guard of the United States.
            (3) It is essential that the Army National Guard of the 
        United States has military technicians and AGR personnel in 
        numbers adequate to ensure the readiness of its units to carry 
        out the increasing burden of Army missions assigned to them.
            (4) Congress routinely authorizes strengths for military 
        technicians and AGR personnel in excess of the levels requested 
        by the President in order to better support the attainment and 
        maintenance of full readiness of the Army National Guard of the 
        United States.
            (5) Despite the efforts of Congress, the strengths of 
        military technicians and AGR personnel of the Army National 
        Guard of the United States remain at levels that are 
        unacceptable for the national security interests of the United 
        States.
            (6) A multiyear program of sustained growth in the 
        strengths of military technicians and AGR personnel for the 
        Army National Guard of the United States is necessary in order 
        to attain adequate staffing for readiness.
