SEC. 1135. DEPLOYMENT PLANNING REFORM.

(b) Unit Deployment Designators.—The system shall include the use of Unit Deployment Designators to specify the postmobilization training days allocated to a unit before deployment. The Secretary shall specify standard designator categories in order to group units according to the timing of deployment after mobilization. (c) Use of Designators.—(1) The Secretary shall establish procedures to link the Unit Deployment Designator system to the process by which resources are provided for National Guard units.
