The war-fighting readiness of Army National Guard combat brigades may be more critical today than ever before. Changing defense needs due to the end of the Cold War and budgetary constraints have increased reliance on Guard combat brigades and on their ability to deploy within 90 days of mobilization to any number of regional conflicts. However, deficiencies revealed during the brigades' mobilization for the Persian Gulf War raised questions about the training strategies used and the time required to be ready to deploy. Accordingly, the Chairmen and Ranking Minority Members of the Subcommittee on Military Readiness and the Subcommittee on Military Personnel, House Committee on National Security asked GAO to determine whether (1) the Bold Shift training strategy has enabled combat brigades to meet peacetime training goals, (2) the advisers assigned to the brigades are working effectively to improve training readiness, and (3) prospects of having the brigades ready for war within 90 days are likely. pg3.
