lastly, a word about training -- combat training centers, or ctcs, as we refer to them. the ctc is a culminating event to determine if units are ready to deploy. if we want to train and fight as one army, all army units need to benefit from this critical training. the commission found that the number of brigade combat teams, or the bcts, exceed the ctcs through-put capacity. some bcts, particularly guard bcts, do not gain the full benefit from this training during their projected readiness cycles. we found examples of more than a decade between ctc rotations for some of our national guard bcts. so the commission recommends the army increase the number of annual ctc rotations for national guard bcts. but not at the expense of the regular army rotations. this would enhance total army readiness and build inner operability between the components. details on this can be found in the report. i will end there. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you. general stultz? >> thank you. let me personally say how much i really appreciate your leadership, all that you've done to keep us o
