| | The National Guard and Reserve -- America's Force in Reserve (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23) |
 | | The Department of Defense is leveraging the capabilities of mission-ready Guard and Reserve forces to meet the challenges of the National Security Strategy, to control peacetime costs, and to reduce the risks associated with a smaller Total Force. |
 | | The Army Guard retained artillery, aviation, mechanized infantry, armor, and special forces units, otherwise programmed for inactivation, and still remains a balanced combat, CS, and CSS force, enabling the sustained support of the various States' missions. |
 | | In FY 1994, the Reserve components took possession of a considerable amount of equipment due to the drawdown in Europe, modernization of Active component equipment, and the overall reduction in forces. |
