House Memorial HM 4005 urges the United States Congress to prompt the United States National Guard Bureau to review and increase the resource allocations for the Florida National Guard. The memorial highlights that Florida, with a population of approximately 21 million, has a disproportionately low force structure of just over 12,000 Guardsmen, resulting in a ratio of one Guardsman for every 1,833 residents, which ranks 53rd among the states and territories. The memorial emphasizes the strain on the Florida National Guard due to unprecedented demands from events in 2020 and 2021, including the COVID-19 pandemic and natural disasters, which have led to excessive deployment of the same soldiers, negatively affecting recruitment, retention, and overall readiness.

The resolution calls for an examination of the current force structure in light of Florida's growing population and the increasing need for National Guard activation. It references a report from the United States National Guard Bureau that acknowledges these concerns and suggests the need for reallocation of mission sets to address changing demographics. The memorial concludes by directing the Secretary of State to send copies of this resolution to key federal officials, including the President and members of Congress from Florida.
