WEBVTT 00:00.500 --> 00:06.790 That. For the clarification no on bone when statement that was 00:06.910 --> 00:09.900 I think. Yeah misrepresented it was in the boston globe. 00:11.160 --> 00:15.060 Of reported duz indicated known Quordy now from the bust both 00:15.060 --> 00:19.950 the biggest long term security threat in the pacific region is 00:19.950 --> 00:20.980 climate change. 00:22.160 --> 00:25.970 Now I'd like to have you clarify what you met by that because 00:25.970 --> 00:28.220 I one of follow up with a couple of things. Here. 00:31.070 --> 00:34.530 Why stress mccoy shrunk. I'm combat that help the opportunity clarifying. 00:35.330 --> 00:38.350 The but I say that because a lot of this evil who are trying 00:38.350 --> 00:42.450 to use that news your statement of the very people who they corps 00:42.450 --> 00:45.260 spending too much money on defense and that that money should 00:45.260 --> 00:49.310 be spent in other areas in some of the Environmentalist extremists 00:49.560 --> 00:53.100 don't really believe we need to have that strong of a military astrology. 00:53.100 --> 00:56.950 We're right now in spite of the hits that we've taken militarily 00:56.950 --> 00:57.560 but do it. 00:59.000 --> 01:01.340 Will as you might expect I give blood. 01:02.100 --> 01:06.290 Hundred are so interviews over last year of of and during those 01:06.290 --> 01:10.090 so interviews I can assure the committee that Allah starbuck 01:10.090 --> 01:14.010 talking about the most pressing military threats of we go north 01:14.010 --> 01:18.270 korea of raza powers in the region of trans national threats 01:18.470 --> 01:22.130 although things that that mmhm but term eleven laid out in his 01:22.130 --> 01:26.320 opening remarks. So quite will. Of in in this particular case. 01:26.320 --> 01:27.140 I did the same. 01:27.770 --> 01:32.130 Of Don't we a started to talk about the long term the long long 01:32.130 --> 01:33.920 term and what are the implications of it. 01:34.710 --> 01:38.970 And I would the of the I wouldn't I'd claire from my perspective 01:38.970 --> 01:39.450 this way. 01:41.740 --> 01:46.660 In the indo asia pacific region as we go from about project as 01:46.660 --> 01:47.920 our ago for about. 01:48.430 --> 01:52.180 Seven billion people in the world top about nine or ten by the 01:52.180 --> 01:55.800 century and about seventy% of margo live in this poor the world. 01:56.730 --> 01:59.810 And about eighty% of an delays will within about two hundred 01:59.810 --> 02:01.010 miles of the coast. 02:01.540 --> 02:05.320 In that trend is increasing as people move towards the economic 02:05.320 --> 02:09.030 centers which are near the port simple soul. These are support globalization. 02:09.610 --> 02:12.220 And sourcing and that training the people moving into. 02:12.760 --> 02:14.090 And the water moral areas. 02:16.030 --> 02:20.550 We're also am saying overview fuego few fuego yue-sai the and 02:20.550 --> 02:26.050 you esther number for my pay go my or I many people died in blue 02:26.050 --> 02:29.860 to natural disasters from two thousand eight two thousand toil 02:29.860 --> 02:32.550 was about two hundred and eighty thousand people that another 02:32.550 --> 02:36.440 report all. Well climate change or whether related but a lot 02:36.440 --> 02:38.270 of homework but work do that. 02:38.780 --> 02:40.960 About eight hundred thousand people were displaced and there 02:40.960 --> 02:44.500 was about five hundred billion dollars walls productivity. 02:45.190 --> 02:48.650 So when I look and I think about our planning and I think about 02:48.650 --> 02:51.850 what I have to do with allies and poor perched in a look long 02:51.850 --> 02:55.840 term but it's important that that the country's in this region 02:55.870 --> 02:59.600 bill that cable builder use in to their infrastructure to be 02:59.600 --> 03:03.560 able to deal with of with that ties of playing started with your 03:03.560 --> 03:07.140 up the here because you know you step have my time in we didn't 03:07.140 --> 03:11.910 get romantic. He is it safe to say that in the of to that this 03:11.910 --> 03:15.610 a that the climate is changing which are in snitty the scientists 03:15.610 --> 03:19.000 disagree with in fact when the boston globe come the out a message 03:19.000 --> 03:23.200 uses made that statement perhaps arguably one of the top scientists 03:23.200 --> 03:27.230 in the country richard lens and also for message use ASEAN mighty. 03:27.910 --> 03:30.890 It said that was laughable them is put this way. 03:32.080 --> 03:35.770 In the event that we work first of all of C R S is told us that 03:35.770 --> 03:39.390 we could be totally independent for and are other countries in 03:39.390 --> 03:43.940 terms of providing our on the energy it bridges developer own resources. 03:44.170 --> 03:48.390 I believe that's head to be true wouldn't that be a more secure 03:48.690 --> 03:52.950 world in specifically in your area. If we not only we're totally 03:52.950 --> 03:57.580 independent but we're a wood to supply our allies in the in your 03:57.710 --> 04:01.000 jurisdiction with their energy so they don't have to depend another 04:01.000 --> 04:02.330 pgd other sources. 04:03.740 --> 04:08.380 Absolutely yeah. Okay let me and a you say something about. 04:09.000 --> 04:10.490 China I it. 04:11.540 --> 04:15.420 By the china edition right now the spurling you still of that 04:15.420 --> 04:18.500 they're gonna increase in their defense budget by ten point seven 04:18.500 --> 04:22.420 % in two thousand thirteen. I remember back and in the nineteen 04:22.420 --> 04:26.040 nineties when they increase their defense spending during that 04:26.040 --> 04:30.930 decade by three hundred% at the same time that we re do stars 04:30.930 --> 04:34.780 by about thirty% of this is not a partisan thing. This is after 04:34.780 --> 04:36.770 the cold war a lot of people felt that we. 04:37.300 --> 04:39.380 Could afford to reduce it and we did. 04:40.030 --> 04:43.670 But that was we what down thirty % in that decade they would 04:43.670 --> 04:47.740 up three hundred% now or face in the same thing my concern is. 04:48.500 --> 04:52.610 Good at the that we world ceased to become the partner of choice 04:52.610 --> 04:56.620 to our allies it this trend continues is is concern you with 04:56.650 --> 04:58.240 the the amount of. 04:59.050 --> 05:02.260 Increase that china is making it how it's affecting your. Region. 05:04.540 --> 05:07.850 That we see in this in africa it's it's our experience in africa 05:07.850 --> 05:08.660 that every time. 05:09.180 --> 05:13.640 We have any type of avoided takes place in africa china moose 05:13.640 --> 05:17.070 in and they seem to have the resources to do their as we're know 05:17.070 --> 05:20.950 how that might affect our relationship with our I'll allies in 05:21.040 --> 05:23.680 your jurisdiction. Both. 05:24.330 --> 05:28.070 Will those concerning and I think one of the of aspects of three 05:28.070 --> 05:31.810 balances to ensure that we have the right force posture of right 05:31.810 --> 05:34.210 force mixture for the future in the asia pacific. 05:34.780 --> 05:38.260 So there we can reassure our hours that we can reassure partners. 05:38.750 --> 05:41.720 We can reassured American people are Interscope objected all are. 05:42.340 --> 05:46.340 Up and the I think we do have to watch very carefully. Well helped 05:46.340 --> 05:50.340 look to china military rises but what they do without military 05:50.480 --> 05:53.900 in hell of militaries integrated into it of in to the security 05:53.900 --> 05:54.380 of our. 05:55.180 --> 06:00.070 Mean the that lynn in the our trip over to Guam. We tell that 06:00.070 --> 06:03.280 we're looking at that the controversial hangar in the fact that 06:03.540 --> 06:06.770 you'd made a statement that maybe that should be heartened. 06:07.250 --> 06:10.310 There's a big expensive that that's controversial thing over there. 06:10.830 --> 06:13.150 That my get either I would agree with your statement. 06:13.810 --> 06:17.290 However with the resources that we have a I would things that 06:17.340 --> 06:20.820 others would say warrant these need to be heartened also we do 06:20.820 --> 06:26.690 thanet address the that issue in terms of the the this scarce 06:26.690 --> 06:30.960 resources in the advantages heartening those. Facilities. 06:33.000 --> 06:36.890 This are up first for work to be aware of them will the significance 06:36.890 --> 06:39.060 of the resources that we would be asked for. 06:39.620 --> 06:43.780 An it really boils down to resiliency and start just about heartening 06:44.130 --> 06:48.210 but it's resiliency of or basis a as you look to the future of 06:48.210 --> 06:51.670 work in this case you are looking ago. All is it is exceeding 06:51.670 --> 06:55.360 efficent strategic up for us in a nice scenario our thank that 06:55.360 --> 07:00.270 I would city and the asia pacific for them next to the Next number 07:00.270 --> 07:02.440 of that and you'll decades of force. I can say for. 07:03.110 --> 07:06.210 Of the so when you look at resiliency there's really member of 07:06.210 --> 07:10.340 component search offensive counter air how use their there's 07:10.550 --> 07:13.870 off there's all sense of message to protect and there's defensive 07:13.870 --> 07:14.920 measures to protect. 07:15.500 --> 07:18.400 And then are a things that you might do to partner and then there's 07:18.650 --> 07:19.750 commanding control. 07:20.260 --> 07:24.760 Of inward-looking that across all those in so when you look at 07:24.760 --> 07:27.590 the things we're talking about heartening out thinker those are 07:27.590 --> 07:31.670 low sayings that would allow you of to be able to quickly repeat 07:31.670 --> 07:36.120 as quickly as possible recover ball method ever were to be an 07:36.150 --> 07:38.340 bitter report of the attack by someone. 07:38.920 --> 07:41.720 And a and it is not heartening everything this heartening those 07:41.720 --> 07:45.290 things that allow you to have that resiliency was some expectation 07:45.290 --> 07:47.970 you could return to service quickly. Okay I think it be a good 07:47.970 --> 07:51.760 idea just for the record to elaborate on their in what areas. 07:52.530 --> 07:56.660 That they should take place give us an idea some priorities and 07:56.660 --> 07:59.540 no didn't is it not of a lot of interest this committee right 07:59.540 --> 08:03.130 now but it was during your trip over there is a and it might 08:03.160 --> 08:06.830 also be true on this a taking the ninth as marines. 08:07.340 --> 08:13.420 From okinawa going to bomb in the think so them to austrian sent away. 08:14.530 --> 08:18.900 Am it there some issue there in terms of the real-estate that 08:18.900 --> 08:21.190 that that would free up for the japanese. 08:21.800 --> 08:26.340 And a it going to be a zirani comma a brief coming you can make 08:26.340 --> 08:30.620 about that move of those marines and then that like to have a 08:30.930 --> 08:36.100 record some of the detail in terms of where the remaining third 08:36.100 --> 08:39.310 I guess about ten thousand greens would be where they be moved 08:39.310 --> 08:43.220 to how that affects the that they have the real-estate there 08:43.220 --> 08:45.020 and in how we might be. Addressing. 08:51.000 --> 08:55.210 But they were mejia began by them. The question of resiliency 08:55.210 --> 09:00.430 and along the and you sets more detail on that I think a it generally 09:00.430 --> 09:03.830 I would solely when you look at of fuel suppliers and how you 09:03.830 --> 09:07.170 would regenerate fuels a plaza will of those laws fuel. 09:07.170 --> 09:09.780 Here's would need to be heartened or not is one we would look 09:09.780 --> 09:13.500 at what the have the right run wave recovery equipment of runways 09:13.500 --> 09:17.060 wherever damage fire by someone who decided to do it to the tech 09:17.060 --> 09:20.300 warm and how flashy good recall. Rim chills or or kabul things 09:20.300 --> 09:23.010 we're looking at we're also looking at how you would commander 09:23.010 --> 09:26.500 control disperse all assets sold. So those assets might build 09:26.500 --> 09:29.760 a different different places of you and in times of of crisis. 09:29.760 --> 09:32.410 The conflict. So we're looking at a broad spectrum and these 09:32.410 --> 09:36.020 are just things that that together in that in the because of 09:36.020 --> 09:39.130 the tiny school in answer the other one for the record does the 09:39.130 --> 09:42.250 time by several thanks so much replied. Thank you are much better 09:42.250 --> 09:46.140 in our center read about it a very much this cherubs sector at 09:46.140 --> 09:51.040 offers service and I was strike it in your chest location. 09:51.040 --> 09:52.910 I we describe to the growing. 09:53.900 --> 09:59.010 A number of nations adopting the so the ranges sort of the enhanced 09:59.010 --> 10:02.580 weapon system. You point out the russians and also bold attack 10:02.580 --> 10:04.450 and if ballistic missiles. 10:05.140 --> 10:08.870 Are in the that the in the years Gore it submarine force. 10:09.700 --> 10:14.090 A chinese of cindy the the want to expanding the most australia 10:14.090 --> 10:18.120 singapore indonesia Malaysia vietnam and republic rare of launched 10:18.120 --> 10:22.160 new would can submarines this seems to be the class of ship of 10:22.160 --> 10:25.820 weapons systems of the ships that there but act of the trying 10:25.820 --> 10:28.030 to compete with the and it's a to that are fair. Judgment. 10:31.030 --> 10:33.670 But on all that I would say their actively competing with United 10:33.670 --> 10:37.630 States of a thank global. Yeah elbow will over three hundred 10:37.770 --> 10:39.800 summer aims. So and that numbers growing. 10:40.340 --> 10:44.900 Am people recognize that they have way of significant anti access 10:44.940 --> 10:49.250 the nile or anti excess people willing that there remains an 10:49.250 --> 10:53.180 asymmetric a billion and undersea warfare in the building got 10:53.450 --> 10:55.120 to remain called working stealth. 10:55.650 --> 10:59.750 Up and that technology is allowing of motor required summary 10:59.750 --> 11:02.860 is to be built there can be sustained of see for all we're all 11:02.860 --> 11:03.730 repairs of time. 11:04.280 --> 11:07.580 Am so and on other nursery competing with United States because 11:07.580 --> 11:10.480 with your three and are some ranges a lot but they certainly 11:10.480 --> 11:13.760 are I think they're re emerging indo the security of our mode 11:13.930 --> 11:17.930 in a way that we should be very of bottled up. 11:18.570 --> 11:22.960 But in terms of artsy which is clearly because of technology 11:22.960 --> 11:25.290 and also the skill of the men and women who. 11:25.810 --> 11:28.110 Are pretty socialism by superior but. 11:28.800 --> 11:32.960 Wouldn't it no longer do a and in one sense crimen open field 11:33.140 --> 11:36.040 and we are now beginning in your begin to know. 11:36.580 --> 11:40.600 A rat an increase in and submarines that being develop an deployed 11:40.600 --> 11:44.010 by asian parts that that's this summer custom. 11:44.910 --> 11:48.500 Of well first ali so that we have the very best sobering show 11:48.500 --> 11:52.220 the world. So I'm not concerned about the capabilities or some 11:52.220 --> 11:53.830 orange or the crews of operate some. 11:54.370 --> 11:57.050 Of I am concerned about what numbers matter. 11:57.640 --> 12:01.390 In in more you have them matter and then the tide submission. 12:01.390 --> 12:05.090 So I our summary is to variety of missions across a broad spectrum 12:05.090 --> 12:05.540 of things. 12:06.120 --> 12:10.630 Of in their places in the world where of an asymmetric advantage 12:10.800 --> 12:12.470 from undersea warfare is important. 12:13.610 --> 12:16.750 It is an important I are and they say your comment being a or 12:16.780 --> 12:20.560 in the context of their a access the doctrine and is that the 12:21.090 --> 12:25.010 Is that we do perceiving to be the major emphasis now in asia. 12:25.560 --> 12:30.260 Of particularly of the major powers like china others being in 12:30.290 --> 12:33.370 mind to be able to deny access to our. Fleet. 12:35.550 --> 12:39.350 But I was so this a good general tray and around the globe was 12:39.350 --> 12:43.150 that people want to be able control what happens in their economic 12:43.150 --> 12:46.250 soames and and their terror tour also use and then there are 12:46.250 --> 12:49.440 those powers of like to project power you would be on the ocean 12:49.440 --> 12:53.130 areas and that some arrays provide them. Viable alternatives 12:53.130 --> 12:58.410 for doing that. I am a in they of in the in a way the so sometimes asymmetric. 12:59.500 --> 13:03.970 I'm one others shifting gears slightly is that the littoral combat 13:03.970 --> 13:07.330 ship of regiment believes has been deployed to singapore which 13:07.330 --> 13:09.070 is in your your of operations. 13:10.150 --> 13:15.540 Mean we're gonna have the in a issues with respect to you know 13:15.570 --> 13:20.410 by jitters and And the capability of different ships. How do 13:20.410 --> 13:23.990 you do you intend a monarch really operation of the of the free 13:23.990 --> 13:26.720 gilmore how you contemplate sentencing. Rail. 13:29.790 --> 13:32.740 Well first of the freedom mission always the first of the class. 13:32.740 --> 13:37.210 So global tour combat ship am it's a concepts ships amenable 13:37.210 --> 13:41.410 started out as to talk to build liddiment optical to grow the 13:41.410 --> 13:43.100 our indian it as you build that. 13:43.660 --> 13:47.260 Of the C in order acres wisely decided to push up to the pay 13:47.260 --> 13:52.440 common do to rotational a deployed out of singapore am it was 13:52.440 --> 13:55.790 out is a ship doses on foreign look Toro operations because we've 13:55.790 --> 14:00.080 speed a shell or graft it has of the building of the over time 14:00.080 --> 14:03.440 to be re configured as mission module packages a two or all of 14:03.440 --> 14:04.320 you know where oak. 14:04.830 --> 14:08.930 Up and what it does for me out here at the number one it provides thumb. 14:08.960 --> 14:13.580 They are the more of it provides a of visible on presence of U.S. 14:13.580 --> 14:14.780 inch in the of tours All's. 14:15.330 --> 14:19.140 Of it allows us to our core parade in participate with a the 14:19.140 --> 14:21.670 key strategic partner out there are Parker searching for. 14:22.210 --> 14:26.200 Of it provides mice Oakley commander of iPAQ pacific fleet commander 14:26.200 --> 14:29.890 of a M Haney a one other tool them the tool key a to be able 14:29.890 --> 14:35.070 to deal with a piece time. I am the events as well as those of crisis. 14:35.320 --> 14:39.260 So I'm are anxious to get a up to the theatre and to see what 14:39.260 --> 14:40.420 pretty can actually do. 14:41.030 --> 14:45.320 It going enacted tax you do you never look arches plan to of 14:45.320 --> 14:49.640 valuing its capabilities to make recommendations with respect 14:49.640 --> 14:54.900 to it it. It's polls as a science function and enter to operational capacities. 14:55.500 --> 14:59.380 But we do will be of the first of freida will be there for about 14:59.380 --> 15:02.660 ten much in this first rotation to lead to the area. 15:03.200 --> 15:07.640 Of beer and that tom am my understanding is that we will concentrate 15:07.640 --> 15:10.750 on how to we move the mission model packages around how to we 15:10.750 --> 15:13.340 employ in the in looked worlds have a we and a great command 15:13.340 --> 15:15.860 to look to the of operational fleet. 15:16.410 --> 15:20.080 Of the seventh fleet and so was good as a good sign because a 15:20.080 --> 15:22.950 get sitting in to the real world get to to have an to see what 15:22.950 --> 15:26.090 it can do and how I can best performance out can best the your huge. 15:26.720 --> 15:31.610 This final question is the in one year during your your planning 15:32.000 --> 15:38.300 for a range of operations from if nikon battery evacuations all 15:38.300 --> 15:42.580 a up to a main fight or of of forced. 15:43.100 --> 15:47.810 Landing a where you sort of think in terms of so we're littoral 15:47.810 --> 15:51.040 combat ship fits in those missions and what missions in man may 15:51.040 --> 15:52.320 not be adequate. 15:53.530 --> 15:56.660 But absolutely and I think there are of for my other components 15:56.660 --> 16:00.710 of their all of looking of very carefully at what they can use 16:00.710 --> 16:04.060 had how they can use littoral combat ship because of its Regan 16:04.060 --> 16:07.090 figure brought capability because of the amount of cargo and 16:07.090 --> 16:10.160 types of sling zipping carry the flexibility that has where they're 16:10.190 --> 16:14.030 pair of frames of Seoul world will be looking at their role. 16:14.030 --> 16:16.810 So be looking carefully at its mine counter measurement mission 16:16.840 --> 16:20.050 which is a integral part of that I believe the baby strategy for. 16:20.650 --> 16:23.790 The next generation mine counter measure and will go up insure 16:23.790 --> 16:27.910 that that the of that those so when technologies are or looked 16:27.910 --> 16:29.070 at is carefully as we can. 16:29.570 --> 16:33.210 As thailand and win the remaining few mentor. There's so can 16:33.210 --> 16:36.750 you come idea about the into the is capabilities that you have 16:36.750 --> 16:37.790 and the pacific now. 16:38.340 --> 16:41.610 In of of because the marines deployment in Afghanistan and you 16:41.610 --> 16:43.300 are sure they server steered their. 16:44.030 --> 16:49.010 Of the frequency of amphibious operations a we know from ship 16:49.010 --> 16:53.070 to shore have been curtailed overtime has a the reinvigorate 16:53.070 --> 16:56.970 a great day duct amoret the base is and what a lot of problems 16:56.970 --> 16:57.420 you see. 16:59.180 --> 17:02.420 But they have been re invigorated of thank one of the initial 17:02.450 --> 17:06.410 impacts of look of the rebalances was to see the marine forces 17:06.410 --> 17:11.000 wet mean the of the um head then can deployed into Afghanistan 17:11.000 --> 17:14.620 the middle east or molested degree turtle the pacific. So we're 17:14.620 --> 17:18.200 up general amos the come on a break or have had extensive conversations 17:18.200 --> 17:21.960 about how to we bring back terrain three or a good read integrate 17:21.960 --> 17:25.010 come back until the amphibious ships over there. We have their 17:25.320 --> 17:28.080 order the type of missions that we can we need to pursue orders 17:28.080 --> 17:31.800 of level training order the exercise we need to be incorporating. 17:31.800 --> 17:35.940 So we have all we have a good plan. I've S the up the maybe to 17:35.970 --> 17:39.420 look after increasing the amount of the amphibious lift assume 17:39.420 --> 17:44.890 the in the aor of because of the but did geographically distributed 17:44.890 --> 17:48.530 in operations at brainchild to them.

So proliferation of weapons systems but 29:02.940 --> 29:06.580 including potential the missile technologies earning per technologies 29:06.690 --> 29:08.000 very much concerned may. 29:08.710 --> 29:12.980 Am we urge knoll that over the pier to tom that north korean. 29:13.500 --> 29:16.640 Goes through cycles of provocation in the one of the things they 29:16.640 --> 29:20.080 rely on both to from their ability to do what they do is through 29:20.220 --> 29:23.620 through will probably from ration and and move what alarm sail 29:23.620 --> 29:27.680 from the world am I don't have any direct but knowledge that 29:27.680 --> 29:30.760 there's been a in this near term cases urged venerate. 29:31.270 --> 29:34.160 Earlier called asian between iran and north korea. But doesn't 29:34.160 --> 29:35.210 mean it has of happen. 29:36.190 --> 29:39.360 This fact that iran would be greatly disadvantage. 29:39.900 --> 29:41.410 If north korea we're not helping. At. 29:44.940 --> 29:48.330 But I think did you don't ramp would be greatly advantage the 29:48.330 --> 29:49.450 of north korea help so. 29:51.100 --> 29:53.200 Is that help on-going of. 29:54.320 --> 29:58.200 Up and all I can do the of verification lead in this forum but 29:58.200 --> 30:02.390 third the happy traps another form guess Becky. And what we don't 30:02.430 --> 30:06.260 do to the to help stop that kind of pull of very few even more 30:06.260 --> 30:09.320 effectively them. Then we are right now through the counter weapons 30:09.320 --> 30:10.290 of bats destruction. 30:11.000 --> 30:11.330 Of their 30:12.750 --> 30:15.580 Well thank the firstly international from communities gotta bring 30:15.580 --> 30:18.190 pressure continue preferable barrow north korea. 30:18.870 --> 30:20.790 We have just tightened our of. 30:21.410 --> 30:24.400 Our all build the dissonance and see what new being poor for 30:24.400 --> 30:27.780 eighty they were to going in and we have to be able to insure 30:27.780 --> 30:31.620 that but we have the ability to inner directed before to before 30:31.620 --> 30:33.260 too so we're proliferating..
