	Army Weighs an Expanded Role For National Guard Combat Units [Free Republic]
		The combat divisions of the Guard, which a generation ago was the place to go to avoid fighting in Vietnam, have been assigned no role in the Army's war plans since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
		Four of the divisions would be assigned to participate in the two "major theater wars" -- in the Persian Gulf and in Korea -- that are the bedrock of national military planning.
		That would mean that the divisions would not likely be the first ones deployed to a conflict, though one official noted that the Army had six months after Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990 to assemble the force that ultimately drove the Iraqis out.

	The Military Issue: What War-Ready Means, in Exacting Pentagon Math
		For the 49th, Governor Bush's own division, the meager readiness rating it holds may not be the best indicator of its ability to conduct military operations.
		That is the standard by which the divisions are measured for readiness, but it is one that ignores how the Army is using its forces today and how it is likely to keep doing so, whoever is elected in November.
		But because the Army's eight Guard divisions are not, for now, in the nation's war plans, they have received a lower priority when it comes to financing for equipment and training.
