Heavy deployments of Army National Guard forces and their equipment, much of which has been left overseas for follow-on forces, have raised questions about whether the Army National Guard has the types and quantities of equipment it will need to continue supporting ongoing operations and future missions. GAO was asked to assess the extent to which (1) the Army National Guard has the equipment needed to support ongoing operations and (2) the Army can account for Army National Guard equipment left overseas. GAO also assessed the Army's plans, cost estimates, and funding strategy for equipping Guard units under its modular and rotational force initiatives. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-111/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-111.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-111/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-111.pdf GAO-06-111 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-111 Other Written Product GAO-06-111; Reserve Forces: Plans Needed to Improve Army National Guard Equipment Readiness and Better Integrate Guard into Army Force Transformation Initiatives; Accountability Armed forces abroad Combat readiness Defense capabilities Equipment inventories Inventory control Military inventories Military operations National Guard
