Lt. Gen. Steven Blum says the Army National Guard needs legal authority to offer $15,000 bonuses to active-duty soldiers to join the Guard up from $50. He cites a 15,000 soldier shortfall and a plan to recruit about 8,000 more by boosting incentives amid heavy deployment. The guard aims to return to 350,000 by Sept. 30 to avoid a gap since 1989.
