Georgia National Guard Faces Equipment Shortfall
In Georgia the National Guard risks losing more than $2,000,000 worth of gear if the legislature does not approve a larger appropriation. Adjutant General Charles H. Cox warns current funding is insufficient to cover upkeep and payments to the federal government, endangering federal aid for the guard. The state has earmarked $35,000 for maintenance this year, described as the smallest per capita outlay in the union, while about 4,000 guardsmen remain in training and the federal match far exceeds state spending.
