1 Army leaders to rely increasingly on the Army Na2 tional Guard of the United States to carry out Army

3 missions.

4 (2) The full-time military technicians and Ac5 tive Guard/Reserve (AGR) personnel of the Army

6 National Guard of the United States are critical to

7 the maintenance and operation and, ultimately, to

8 the readiness of the units of the Army National

9 Guard of the United States.

10 (3) It is essential that the Army National

11 Guard of the United States has military technicians

12 and AGR personnel in numbers adequate to ensure

13 the readiness of its units to carry out the increasing

14 burden of Army missions assigned to them.

15 (4) Congress routinely authorizes strengths for

16 military technicians and AGR personnel in excess of

17 the levels requested by the President in order to bet18 ter support the attainment and maintenance of full

19 readiness of the Army National Guard of the United

20 States.

21 (5) Despite the efforts of Congress, the

22 strengths of military technicians and AGR personnel
