U.S. Forces in Afghanistan [January 23, 2008]
"As interest in troop level deployments continues, there remains an increase of U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Last year, President Bush announced in a February 15, 2007, speech the Administration's plans for an increase in U.S. forces in Afghanistan, including a planned gradual increase of 3,200 U.S. troops on the ground. This report provides official Department of Defense (DOD) statistical information on U.S. forces now serving in Afghanistan with comparisons to earlier force levels. It also provides brief official information on the military units extended or scheduled for the next rotation of duty into Afghanistan. As of January 2, 2008, according to DOD, the United States had 26,607 troops stationed in Afghanistan -- 20,940 active component and 5,667 National Guard or Reserves. They are serving in two missions -- a NATO [North Atlantic Treaty Organization] -led peacekeeping mission and a separate U.S.-led combat effort called Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF). For security reasons, DOD does not routinely report the composition, size, or specific destination of military forces deployed to the Persian Gulf. This report will be updated upon receipt of new DOD data.

U.S. Forces in Iraq [November 30, 2007]
"Varying media estimates of military forces in Iraq have raised concerns about the actual number of troops deployed in Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). As interest in troop level deployments continues, President Bush announced 'a new strategy for Iraq' on January 10, 2007, including a planned gradual increase of more than 20,000 U.S. troops on the ground in Baghdad and Anbar province over several months. To accomplish this increase in part, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates announced on April 11, 2007, that all active-duty Army personnel in the U.S. Central Command area would now serve 15- month tours in the region, up from the previous 12-month rotations. This report provides solely Department of Defense (DOD) statistical information on U.S. forces serving in Iraq. It also provides brief official information on the military units scheduled for the next rotation of duty into Iraq. As of November 1, 2007, according to DOD, the United States had 164,424 troops stationed in Iraq -- 144,745 active component and 19,679 National Guard or Reserves. For security reasons, DOD does not routinely report the composition, size, or specific destination of military forces deployed to the Persian Gulf. This report will be updated upon receipt of new DOD data.

National Guard Personnel and Deployments: Fact Sheet [September 20, 2007]
"The National Guard is playing an increasingly vital and growing role in the defense and security of the United States under the federal component of its mission. While that military reserve component's responsibilities and duties have increased, a March 2007 major report by the congressionally chartered independent Commission on the National Guard and Reserves has found that many Army and Air National Guard units stationed in the United States are rated 'not ready.' That rating is based primarily on current military equipment shortages and concerns for long-term operational reserve capacity. These domestic equipment shortfall and reserve capacity issues are attributed, in part, to the large deployment of National Guard personnel (currently more than 30,000) and equipment deployed in the Global War On Terrorism (GWOT) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). Meanwhile, in May 2006, more than 6,000 National Guard personnel were authorized to be sent to the southern border region of the United States to temporarily assist in interdicting illegal aliens. As of September 10, 2007, 3,296 National Guard forces were deployed for this border security operation (Operation Jump Start). This report presents statistical information on the National Guard's federal role in defense and security, including its deployments in support of GWOT, OIF, and Operation Jump Start."

National Guard Personnel and Deployments: Fact Sheet [January 10, 2007]
"The National Guard is an increasingly vital component in the defense and security of the United States. Its federal role has grown with its major roles in U.S. and coalition country defense operations worldwide over the past several years. The Guard has been deployed in significant numbers in the Global War On Terrorism (GWOT) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) as a full-scale partner in the armed services Total Force policy. Meanwhile, in May 2006, over 6,000 National Guard personnel were authorized to be sent to the southern border region of the United States to temporarily assist in interdicting illegal aliens. As of January 5, 2007, at least 5,670 National Guard forces were deployed for this border security operation (Operation Jump Start). This report briefly presents statistical information on the National Guard's role in defense and security, including its deployments in support of GWOT, OIF, and Operation Jump Start."

National Guard Personnel and Deployments: Fact Sheet [Updated May 1, 2008]
"The National Guard plays a major role in the defense and security of the United States under the federal component of its mission. Due in part to the military reserve component's increasing responsibilities and duties since 2001, a January 2008 report by the congressionally chartered independent Commission on the National Guard and Reserves has found that the U.S. military's lack of 'sufficiently trained, ready forces available' to respond to possible domestic attacks 'is an appalling gap that places the nation and its citizens at greater risk.' The report estimated that fewer than 88% of Army National Guard units are 'combat-ready.' The large deployment of National Guard personnel (currently more than 28,000) and equipment deployed in what the Bush Administration terms the Global War On Terrorism (GWOT) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) factors heavily into this situation, according to the report. Additionally, as of April 10, 2008, 2,887 National Guard forces were deployed to the southern border region of the United States to assist in border security and the interdiction of illegal aliens as part of the 2006 authorized Operation Jump Start. This report presents statistical information on the National Guard's federal role in defense and security, including its deployments in support of GWOT, OIF, and Operation Jump Start."

That rating is based primarily on current military equipment shortages and concerns for long-term operational reserve capacity. According to the report, these domestic equipment shortfall and reserve capacity issues are attributed, in part, to the large deployment of National Guard personnel (currently more than 28,000) and equipment deployed in what the Bush Administration terms the Global War On Terrorism (GWOT) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). In May 2006, more than 6,000 National Guard personnel were authorized to be sent to the southern border region of the United States to temporarily assist in interdicting illegal aliens. As of January 8, 2008, 2,736 National Guard forces were deployed for this border security operation (Operation Jump Start). This report presents statistical information on the National Guard's federal role in defense and security, including its deployments in support of GWOT, OIF, and Operation Jump Start."

National Guard Personnel and Deployments: Fact Sheet [July 20, 2007]
"The National Guard is playing an increasingly vital and growing role in the defense and security of the United States under the federal component of its mission. While that military reserve component's responsibilities and duties have increased, a March 2007 major report by the congressionally chartered independent Commission on the National Guard and Reserves has found that many Army and Air National Guard units stationed in the United States are rated 'not ready.' That rating is based primarily on current military equipment shortages and concerns for long-term operational reserve capacity. These domestic equipment shortfall and reserve capacity issues are attributed, in part, to the large deployment of National Guard personnel (currently more than 30,000) and equipment deployed in the Global War On Terrorism (GWOT) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). Meanwhile, in May 2006, more than 6,000 National Guard personnel were authorized to be sent to the southern border region of the United States to temporarily assist in interdicting illegal aliens. As of July 1, 2007, at least 5,622 National Guard forces were deployed for this border security operation (Operation Jump Start). This report presents statistical information on the National Guard's federal role in defense and security, including its deployments in support of GWOT, OIF, and Operation Jump Start."
