AC/RC Aviation Force Design Parity

Issue

Army National Guard Divisions must have parity in aviation force design and personnel authorizations with the Active Component Army inclusive of future combat systems.

The current lack of parity risks interoperability with the Active Component, threatens overmatch against our enemies, and ties the hands of commanders.

Recommendation

The National Guard Association of the United States (NGAUS) strongly urges Congress to pass NDAA policy language that would create aviation force structure parity between Active Component and National Guard Divisions.

Policy Language 

The Army shall ensure that Army National Guard Divisions have, at a minimum, parity in aviation force design, personnel authorizations, and force structure with the Active Component inclusive of future combat systems.
