Cost is not the issue, manning strengths are the problem.True but there are other States, mostly out west, that have plenty of room. There are a lot of politics in what type of Guard units are where and that can be rectified (Heh; Congress willing, of course...).There is also limited large training areas available in many states.True for the Guard; my question is which is best for the nation.IBT's make a better cost saving and dual-role option for the NG.
