FINDINGS AND CONGRESSIONAL DECLARATIONS CONCERNING SERVICE IN THE NATIONAL GUARD AND RESERVES (a) FINDINGS,—(Congress makes the following findings: (1) Citizens and nationals of the United States have taken up arms to defend their homes and communities, and to secure and preserve the independence of the United States, from the earli- est days of the Nation. (2) The concept of the citizen-soldier has been a keystone of the defense strategy of the Nation. (3) Members of the National Guard and Reserves have served proudly and honorably in every war or conflict involving United States Armed Forces. (4) The Total Force Policy of the United States, by placing significant portions of wartime mission capability and selected day-to-day operations in the National Guard and Reserve, has reinforced the proposition that the Guard and Reserve are essential elements of the national defense establishment of the United States. (5) During the 1980's, Congress and the Department of De- fense have demonstrated their increasing reliance and con- fidence in the National Guard and Reserve by expanding mis- sions, increasing training requirements, and providing new state-of-the-art weapons and support equipment. (6) The National Guard and Reserve represent a very cost- effective arm of the Total Force, preserving combat capability and retaining valuable trained human resources, especially during periods of austere defense budgets. (7) Participation by citizens in the National Guard and Re- serve enhances the military readiness of the United States and demonstrates the resolve of the citizenry to protect and preserve American values. .. -. ,.
