Proposed FSA Reduction of 13% results in: • Loss of approximately 226 traditional guard positions • Approximately 80 would be full time • Force leveling churn affects around 1000 soldiers • Significant force structure changes

Reduction of rotary aircraft • Potential loss of FY16 Air MEDEVAC det (35 spaces and 3 HH60M aircraft)

Congressional Support Request DMVA •

Congress form a Commission on the Force Structure of the Army using the model developed last year to address the USAF prior to implementing any force reductions/reallocations. (HR 3930) •

Conduct an Army Aviation Study due to the magnitude and enduring impact of the proposed restructure before implementing any changes (i.e., component sizing/missioning, dwell policy, DOD wide helicopter training solution, use of Medevac aircraft, etc.) •

Support for additional letters addressing ARNG needs for NDAA 15 and future budget requirements after release of PB15. •

Support the NGB plan to achieve the budget control act directed budgetary reductions including reductions to projected Force Structure Allocations. Department of Military and Veterans Affairs
