During the last 10 years, the ARNG saw record levels of NGREA funding. Out of the 5 five best years for ARNG
NGREA, 4 have been in the past 10 years—FY06, FY07, FY08 and FY09. Likewise, the ANG has seen an upward trend
in NGREA funding, finishing FY11 and FY12 with 10-year highs.
NGREA funding has helped the Guard go from 40% Equipment-On-Hand (EOH) in 2005 to almost 90% EOH today.
9. NGREA
NGREA is a vital component of National Guard modernization efforts. The National Guard uses NGREA to acquire new equipment
and rebuild, refurbish and modernize existing systems. In the last several years, Congress has dedicated over $5 billion of dollars
to this account to properly equip the National Guard as an operational reserve fully involved in operations overseas and
domestically.

Established in 1975 as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, the National Guard Educational Foundation's (NGEF) goal is to tell the
Guard's story. Independent of the National Guard Association of the United States (NGAUS) but co-located in the National Guard
Memorial Building in Washington, D.C., the NGEF relies solely on charitable contributions.
The purpose of the NGEF is to achieve an awareness of the rich heritage and continuing contributions of the National Guard of the
United States. Among its many activities, the NGEF operates the National Guard Memorial Museum and Library, Archives, the Medal
of Honor Gallery, and the National Guard monument in Normandy, France.

o Cuts to retired pay/points
• Increased TRICARE fees
• Cuts to full-time manning
• Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) – future missions/role
• Maintaining TRICARE For Life (TFL)
14. We Can’t Do It Without You
• The strength of NGAUS has always been its united members
• NGAUS Voice + Engaging Your Members of Congress = SUCCESS (They want to hear from you!)
Our Commitment to You
• To protect what you’ve EARNED and what our country has promised you
• Maintain a strong, sustainable National Guard
We will not be outworked
