(Hehe, it is kind of cool actually having a discussion on this)
No, I meant since such a large chunk of DSHR *is* NCCC (all corps members get trained in ARC disasters at the start of their term of service), that if/when NCCC loses funding, the Red Cross will lose a huge number of instantly available volunteers. (There are others, of course, but we're talking about such a large group of already-trained volunteers that this has to have some kind of impact in large-scale deployments)
Hopefully there's a recruiting plan to counteract the loss of such a large volunteer base.
