Today the Commission on the National Guard and Reserves (CNGR) delivered its Final Report to Congress. The recommendations in the report will be evaluated by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) for implementation where appropriate. USNORTHCOM will work closely with OSD in the evaluation of recommendations in the CNGR Final Report in order to enhance our Nation's ability to anticipate and conduct Homeland Defense and Civil Support missions. Homeland Defense is the primary mission of USNORTHCOM and we stand ready and will respond to any Homeland Defense or Civil Support mission requirement. USNORTHCOM officials are unable to discuss this report until the review is completed.
