H. Res. 1007

                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                         July 25, 2018.
Whereas, in previous years, the United States Army delayed supply transactions, 
        and later had to order parts from sources outside the Department of 
        Defense supply system and pay more to get parts fabricated or shipped 
        quickly to keep up with maintenance timelines;
Whereas, in previous years, the Army was forced to restrict to home station 
        training due to not having enough resources;
Whereas the Army, if not fully resourced, will postpone all noncritical 
        maintenance work orders until later in the year when resourced 
        correctly;
Whereas the Army is attempting to add military personnel to meet critical skill 
        gaps, and if not fully resourced, will delay the recruitment of new 
        personnel which will result in units continuing to lack the full 
        complement of personnel needed to be 100-percent effective;
Whereas, if not fully resourced, noncritical travel, which includes relocating 
        soldiers' families (change of duty station) will be postponed and may 
        result in missed school year timing for dependent spouses and their 
        children;
Whereas United States Army Forces Command is responsible for the training, 
        mobilization, deployment, sustainment, and transformation of 
        conventional forces to provide relevant and ready land power to 
        combatant commanders;
Whereas global threats require the Army to prepare to fight both terrorist 
        organizations as well as possible near-peer adversaries; and
Whereas it takes both significant time and resources to build a professional 
        Army: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) finds that not resourcing the Department of the Army in a timely 
        manner erodes readiness and puts the United States Army at a 
        disadvantage; and
            (2) affirms that Congress should resource all our warfighters prior 
        to the beginning of a new fiscal year.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
