The bill, 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. It 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 54 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, leading to excessive stress and fatigue among soldiers, which adversely affects recruitment and readiness.

The resolution calls for an examination of the current force structure to address these challenges and ensure that the Florida National Guard can effectively meet its mission goals amidst a growing population and increasing activation needs. Additionally, the memorial requests that copies be sent to key federal officials, including the President of the United States and members of the Florida congressional delegation, to garner support for this initiative.
