Original publisher: [Washington, D.C.] : U.S. General Accounting Office, [2004] OCLC Number: (OCoLC)55142522 Subject: Special operations (Military science) -- United States -- Evaluation.

For example, many Army Guard units have radios that cannot communicate with new communications systems and old trucks for which the active Army does not stock spare parts. Units deploying in support of operations in Iraq in 2003 and 2004 needed about 22, 000 pieces of equipment - including night vision goggles, machine guns, trucks, decontamination apparel, and radios - to meet deployment requirements. The Army National Guard filled these shortages by transferring equipment from other units. In fact, between December 2002 and March 2004, Army Guard units in every state and territory supplied equipment to three deploying enhanced brigades. Initially the Guard managed transfers so that many units shared the burden of losing equipment and could remain at their planned readiness levels. For example, the enhanced separate brigade we visited in Georgia transferred machine guns, night vision goggles, and global positioning systems to deploying units, but officials said that the unit maintained its readiness rating because the equipment was not deemed critical o
