- 1 -

Executive Summary

The President’s Fiscal Year 2015 Budget Request includes nearly $23.5 billion in funding within 

National Guard accounts. This reflects a decrease of 8 percent, or about $2.12 billion below the 

Fiscal Year 2014 enacted levels.* 

This guide compares funding levels as enacted in the Fiscal Year 2014 Consolidated 

Appropriations bill (P.L. 113-76) to funding levels in the Request. The funding reflected in this 

guide does not include reductions made by sequestration as required by the Budget Control Act 

(P.L. 112-25).

This guide provides only a short summary and analysis of the many provisions within the budget 

request. To obtain a complete understanding of any particular provision, users are encouraged to 

review the actual budget documents. The budget documents are available on the NGB-LL web 

page at http://www.nationalguard.mil/ll/docs/

Army Aviation Restructure

The Army is also undertaking a comprehensive Aviation restructure that optimizes the aviation 

force to better respond to contingencies at home and abroad. The Army must at once reduce its 

legacy fleet, modernize its primary aircraft, maintain readiness to meet operational demand, and 

balance active and reserve structure. The Kiowa Warrior will be divested, and the armed aerial 

scout mission will be assumed by the AH-64 Apache teamed with unmanned aerial vehicles. This 

comprehensive restructure not only ensures the timely modernization of the National Guard’s 

existing aircraft, but also provides additional UH-60L Blackhawk helicopters that enable both Title 

32 and Title 10 missions. The training fleet will be replaced with aircraft the Army already owns –

the LUH-72, and aviation brigades will be streamlined into a single configuration. This approach 

will ensure Soldiers on the ground, and the entire Joint Force, continue to benefit from world-class 

aviation support.
