As many already know, the NGAUS Resolution process is a yearlong and constant cycle of events. I wanted to share the hard work and accomplishments from last year’s cycle. Task force chairs have worked diligently with committees to clean up standing resolutions as you will realize throughout this summary.
Here’s a quick rundown of 2023 Resolutions Committee submissions:
In the Joint Session, there were 56 new resolutions were reviewed. Nine concentrated on capability and resource gaps in Domestic Operations response missions. Some of the capabilities adopted included communications equipment and personal protective equipment. Ten resolutions dealt with personnel issues and actions. Most of these were pay, benefits, and entitlements for National Guard Soldiers and Airmen issues. Thirty standing resolutions were deemed obsolete or no longer necessary and were deleted while three resolutions were referred to other committees.
During the Army Session, the committee adopted 20 modernization and procurement resolutions. Some of those included training capability for Army aviation, Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) modernization, and upgrades to field artillery capabilities. Just as the Joint session, the committee considered 10 standing resolutions for removal.
During the Air Session, the committee adopted 65 resolutions for modernization of multiple platforms in the Air National Guard fleet. Some of those resolutions included fighter and mobility platforms enhancements, providing electronic warfare training, improving navigation and propulsion systems on several platforms, and cyber security on legacy systems. Continuing the “clean up” theme, the committee eliminated 51 obsolete standing resolutions due to aircraft divestments and other circumstances.
How can industry assist with this process? Understand the process, identify capability gaps which your company can affect, and work with state Executive Directors and Resolutions Committees (state and national) to communicate how your company can fill those needs.
So where are we in the Resolutions Process? It’s time to start reviewing standing resolutions, drafting new resolutions/white papers, and working with State Executive Directors/committees for submission.
