ery, honor, and sacrifice for their country.

quately train National Guard units for homeland de-
fense and combat readiness is currently in use in

sponse to natural disaster due to the extended de-
ployment of National Guard units.

deployment, extended deployments, and lack of 
equipment of the National Guard as a result of the 
War in Iraq. 
(10) The Constitution recognizes the National 
Guard as the frontline defense of the homeland, and 
the National Guard should be immediately trained 
and equipped to fully complete that mission.
