Supporting the Military Readiness Bill

SUMMARY

A memo for those supporting the Tauscher bill to provide for sustainable troop deployments.

This memo calls for support of the bill passed recently by the House that would require at least at 1-1 ratio of combat deployment and home time for American troops. Members of Congress should call attention to the crisis facing the Army and Marine Corps, noting that this is not just about keeping faith with our troops, it is about maintaining an effective fighting force. That means this is an urgent issue of American national security.
