National Guard Recruiting Assistance Program Fraud and Abuse In 2005 the Recruiting Assistance Program was initiated to help the National Guard meet end strength requirements. Four years of war in Afghanistan and Iraq transformed the National Guard from a Strategic Reserve into an Operational Reserve and the National Guard was having a difficult time meeting end strength requirements due to operational tempo requirements and normal attrition from ETS and retirements. Being a member of the National Guard during this time I personally witnessed an increased number of ETS, retirements and transfers of Soldiers to the Army Reserves due to mobilizations or rumors of upcoming mobilizations between 2001 and 2006.

The Recruiting Assistant then had to take a one-time online training course that explained the rules and policies of the G-RAP program. Once the RA had completed training, they could then begin identifying potential Soldiers. Once a RA had identified a potential Soldier, they had to enter their information into the G-RAP database. The RA was then responsible for setting up a meeting between the potential Soldier and a Recruiter or if the potential soldier was 17 years old the RA accompanied the Recruiter to a parental consent

National Guard culture did not die; it evolved.

“I won’t be getting into any trouble Ma, he said, wrapping some bread and cold potatoes and half a roast chicken in some tow cotton. Plus they will be paying me, I hear they give eleven dollars a month.” These were the words Charley Goddard used to convince his mother joining the Union army was the right thing for him to do.
