This morning the Committee will receive testimony on the posture of the National Guard and Reserve Components and their fiscal year 2020 budget requests. This will be a two panel hearing – panel one recognizes the Chief of the National Guard bureau. Panel two will recognize the Reserve Component Chiefs from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force reserves. I would encourage all members to stay for both panels.
