Paul McHale and Steven Blum talked about the impact of sequestration on the National Guard. Sequestration refers to across-the-board budget cuts agreed to in the Budget Control Act of 2011 and that take effect in January 2013 if Congress cannot agree on a budget. Both panelists agreed that sequestration would do great damage to the National Guard, in particular as the the guard’s role has evolved since the 1970's to include natural disaster response. The program includes questions from audience members. close
