Government shutdown will have lasting effects on National Guard, advocates say
Nonprofits provided 96,000 meals and supplies as 455 furloughed technicians and 100 civilians face unpaid work amid the shutdown, officials said.
- The government shutdown has been uniquely hard on the 433,000 Army and Air National Guard members, with over 30,000 technicians not paid since late September.
- These technicians, who carry out training and maintain equipment, are critical to the National Guard's day-to-day operations and readiness, according to the National Guard Association president.
- The shutdown has also led to canceled training, maintenance, and other opportunities that troops will struggle to make up, impacting morale and retention, advocates say.
