Moore and Pocan to Delay Cuts to Wisconsin National Guard | 2015-12-07 | 2015 | 2015-12 | Democrat | House | WI | Ron Kind | K000188 | kind.house.gov | legacy | La Crosse, WI- Today, U.S. Reps Ron Kind, Gwen Moore, and Mark Pocan sent a letter to leadership urging them to delay personnel cuts to the National Guard until the completion of a study on the future size and structure of the Army. At a time when the United States faces a number of threats to our homeland we must have a long-term strategic plan for the future of our Army National Guard, which is why I am calling on leadership to delay these cuts until we complete a study on the future size and structure of the Army, Rep. Kind said. The 2016 National Defense Authorization Act calls for reducing overall Army National Guard strength from 350,000 troops to 342,000 troops. This letter requests Congress delay ant personnel cuts until the National Commission on the Future of the Army completes their study on the appropriate size and role of the Army, including the National Guard. They are expected to provide their expert recommendations in February 2016. Find a copy of the letter here. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
