Skelton asks National Guard to consider need for equipment at home
WASHINGTON, D.C. (July 24, 2009) — House Armed Services Committee Chairman Ike Skelton (D-Mo.) sent a letter to the Chief of the National Guard Bureau to request information on the National Guard’s current state of readiness to respond to natural disasters in the United States. Skelton also strongly urged the Department of Defense to consider U.S. domestic needs when planning for the redeployment of U.S. forces and equipment from Iraq. “When floods, tornadoes, or hurricanes strike, Americans depend on their neighbors in the National Guard to keep them safe and help with disaster response. In virtually any type of national emergency, the Guard is a critical part of our disaster recovery team. But our National Guard members also play a very large role in our efforts overseas. Guard units from all over the country have deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, taking a great deal of their equipment with them, and often leaving that equipment behind for follow-on units when it’s time to come home,” said Skelton.
