Carter vows to 'resolve' National Guard bonus repayment mess

Without explaining how, Defense Secretary Ash Carter said the controversy over the “clawback” of improperly paid re-enlistment bonuses to more than 10,000 California National Guard troops will be resolved, and that he has directed his deputy to come up with a solution.

Speaking in Paris at a meeting of counter-Islamic State coalition countries, Carter said on Tuesday that while the issue “has got its complexities to it,” the Pentagon is “going to look into it, and resolve it.”
