National Guard Joint Force Headquarters Transformation: Shaping the Force

Abstract

America insists on a reliable and accessible National Guard. Today's Guard member, the 21st-century Minuteman, must be available at a moment's notice to defend the Nation, at home or abroad. America expects no less. This can only be done with a properly staffed and effective Joint Force Headquarters capable of meeting the full spectrum of demands. Unfortunately, National Guard state-level Table of Distribution and Allowance (TDA) organizations have been unable to keep pace with transformation initiatives because of outdated policy and regulatory guidance. This paper will review the current imbalances, describe the strategic implications of continued reliance on these documents, and outline recommendations to reconcile these critical shortcomings.
