Alaska National Guard Rural Community Revival Act

This bill would require the Secretary of the Army, working with the Chief of the National Guard Bureau, to create a plan within 90 days for Army National Guard readiness, staffing, and facilities in remote or isolated areas, including the Arctic. The plan must include an audit of National Guard armories, readiness centers, and ranges in those areas, a strategy to fill vacant positions using local recruitment and incentives such as bonuses and education stipends, and a blueprint for upgrading facilities for power, communications, hangars, housing, and runways. The Army must also look at leasing and public-private partnerships to share facilities with commercial or community users, and assess funding options, including minor military construction funds. The Army must brief Congress within 180 days and later submit a final report with the President's budget request.
