                                       NATIONAL GUARD
                 STATEMENT OF GENERAL CRAIG R. McKINLEY, CHIEF, NATIONAL
                      GUARD BUREAU
                        OPENING STATEMENT OF CHAIRMAN DANIEL K. INOUYE
                   Chairman INOUYE. This morning, the subcommittee meets to re-
                 ceive testimony on fiscal year 2013 budget of the National Guard
                 and the Reserve components.
                   From the National Guard, I'd like to welcome Chief of the Na-
                 tional Guard Bureau, General Craig R. McKinley; the Director of
                 the Army National Guard, General William Ingram; and the Direc-
                 tor of the Air National Guard, Lieutenant General Harry M. Wyatt,
                 III.
                   Our witnesses from the Reserve include the Chief of the Army
                 Reserve, General Stultz; the Chief of the Navy Reserve, Admiral
                 Dirk Debbink; the Commander of the Marine Corps Reserve, Gen-
                 eral Steven Hummer; and the Chief of the Air Force Reserve, Gen-
                 eral Charles Stenner.
                   And I would like to thank all of you for joining us today as the
                 subcommittee reviews the fiscal year 2013 budget for the Reserve
                 components.
                   This year's budget proposes significant force structure changes
                 for the Air National Guard, reducing end-strength by 5,100 billets
                 and aircraft inventory of 134 aircraft.
                   This proposal has come under intense scrutiny from the Mem-
                 bers of Congress, the Council of Governors, and many adjutant
                 generals.
