Benefits of CAP Moving from Air University to Air National Guard

The National Guard doesn't have much money. If you haven't noticed, their soldiers and airmen use the oldest equipment in the military (that's why they're so good at it, they're not spoiled).

It may have been that way up to 2001, but no longer.  In fact the most modernization is taking place withing the National Guard.

Definitely not everywhere. ANG took big hits across the country with the last BRAC. There is progress through the total force concept with Air Force/ANG however. I'm seeing new units flying UAVs and Raptors. I like that.

Not the case with ArNG units though. They're leaving all that wonderful new equipment in Iraq and are coming back to their old, sometimes barely useful weapons and supplies such as vehicles and kitchens. There just isn't enough money at the state level to really outfit every Armory properly.
