mr. kissle, we worked very hard over recent years to try to upgrade the level of equipment within the reserve component of the reserve and the guard. and i think the data points suggest we've come a long ways. for example, the equipment on hand ratings right now for the active component is 87%. the national guard is also 87%. and the reserve is 86%. and based on this budget and the fit-up in which it lies, we hope to grow the ac to 94%, the guard to 92%, and the reserve to 90% by just the end of 13. so the challenge as the chief noted going forward is make sure we maintain that level both in the readiness side and the equipment part of that rating, and also of course the personnel. and how we do that is something that i want to give a tip of the hat to the chief and to leadership of both the guard and reserve components are working together to make sure we have a readiness model that works and everybody agrees upon. >> thank you, gentlemen. and one quick question. research and development. do you feel comfortable we have enough monies allocated for that to keep us ahead of the fight in all si
