Congress finds the following: Fewer than 30 percent of youth in the United States qualify for military service, either because of poor physical health, a criminal record, or lack of a high school degree. The National Guard Youth Challenge Program provides the Department of Defense an opportunity to work with State and local governments to engage with the youth of the nation, providing military-based training, the opportunity to earn a high school degree, and high physical fitness standards.
It is the sense of Congress that it is critical to allocate the necessary resources to the National Guard Youth Challenge Program of the Department of Defense as it plays a critical role in preparing the next generation of qualified youth for military service.
