ARNG Equipment Readiness ARNG G-4 COL Denny Danielson Phone: 703 607 7481 E mail: dennis.danielsonngb.army.mil

2. So, what has changed in the Army? Well, yesterday, the Army had a EOH fill of about 83% while the ARNG had an EOH fill of 58%. The percentages include ILO substitutes such as 1963-era UH-1 helicopters, 40 year old M16s, 1950�s vintage AN/VRC-12 radios and non-deployable equipment such as CUCVs. The equipping of the force focused on tiered modernization, DAMPL fielding, cascading, and maneuvering of equipment (especially the ARNG). One important note, the Reserve Components were considered to be strategic reserves. Today our Reserve Components are operational reserves with a mix of old and new equipment. The focus is on deployed forces. As you can see, AC and ARNG EOH %�s have taken a hit. The Army identified 342 LINs that are dual-use, i.e. required for deployment missions as well as for HLD/HLS missions. Tomorrow, our investment strategy shows that our equipping goals are achieved through a combination of cyclic readiness, standardized MTOEs, prioritized ARFORGEN funding levels, and zero equipment maneuvering. We must continue to work harder to stretch every dollar we receive, e.g. to save the ARNG from the 2nd Destination costs incurred by them when they ship equipment to the states, the Army should federalize the movement.So, what has changed in the Army?

4. ARNG Equipping Strategy

5. The key to this slide is that we are tracking the impact of several funding initiatives on current equipping levels over a period of time. It is important to know the receipt of $2.1B in FY07 reset supplemental funding for the ARNG. The total of the funds identified in the arrows is over $35B. Also note that NGREA is included. The National Guard gets to spend the NGREA funds as they see fit.
