"Never before has our Nation called upon the Army National Guard (ARNG) to serve on the front lines of two major operations and simultaneously take the lead in Homeland Security. Healthy deployable Soldiers are the backbone of Operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom as well as for operations within the boundaries of our great Nation. Maintaining force strength and sustaining these critical operations rely heavily on the health and physical fitness of our Soldiers."
