Using only 6% of the Air Force budget, the Air National Guard provides 19% of the Air Forces total personnel and 30-40% of the Air Force fighter, tanker and airlift capacity. National Guardsmen serve longer and retire later than their active counterparts, maintaining expertise and increasing the value of the training. An as-needed force, nearly 85% of the National Guard is part-time.
