"Spending for Guard reaches record level
BALTIMORE - Funding for the National Guard has reached a record level amid the largest mobilization of America's citizen soldiers since World War II, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said yesterday. With the increased spending, nearly 80 percent of Army National Guard equipment will be fully modernized by the end of budget year 2013, he said. In the budget year starting next month, the Defense Department helped the Guard's budget reach just over $30 billion, an increase of $1.2 billion from the previous year (AP)."
