(B) The disproportionate growth in the 
end strengths of the reserve components is in-
consistent with the emphasis placed by the De-
partment of Defense on responding to asym-
metric threats at home and abroad.

OF
CONGRESS.—In light of such 
findings, Congress is concerned about unit readiness 
and the effect of pre-deployment cross-leveling on 
the Army National Guard and it is the sense of Con-
gress that an increase in Army National Guard end 
strength should be considered in the deliberations of 
the next quadrennial defense review conducted under 
section 118 of title 10, United States Code.
