Two major things come to mind. We need to immediately maintain what we have and get what we have fully operational that means funding the maintenance. Deploy then where required. The second biggie is we need enough active duty forces to where we get off the reservist dependency and can rotate even critical need units in a reasonable manner. Our troops are over deployed not allowing for substantial downtime. If a person deploys for 18 months that should be it for that enlistment. Then get them back to the states.
Today's troops have been in war deployments since the early 1990's with very little peace time either in the Middle East such as Iraq or Afghanistan. It's not an issue of not enough volunteers to serve it's a matter of congress has not substantially increased End Troop Strengths since the mid 1990's cuts. We're at the same level we were more or less in proposed 1996 numbers in troops strength.
