Mobility. 48:19.050 --> 48:22.840 On a highly ready forces that can respond very quickly and be 48:22.840 --> 48:23.960 moved very quickly. 48:24.920 --> 48:30.310 Foresee is prepared a bit for traditional combat. But also for 48:30.310 --> 48:34.360 the kind of a bridge were fear or little green men and kind of 48:34.360 --> 48:36.720 activity do we Saul. In.. Ukraine. 48:37.220 --> 48:45.110 Ukraine. Off editor enabled it new way is space cyber and so 48:45.110 --> 48:48.660 forth that the army's also climbing on top. So it's a very different 48:48.660 --> 48:50.630 played walk. An indian. 48:51.260 --> 48:54.210 It wish we didn't have to do that but that becomes yet. 48:54.210 --> 48:58.080 Another mission force on top of all the other things. That we're 48:58.080 --> 49:03.350 asking our me to do this one in the last year or so uh has developed 49:03.350 --> 49:05.910 and do something which is clearly an injury in. 49:06.460 --> 49:11.000 A and tax scene. Commitment for trying to adjust to it but it 49:11.120 --> 49:17.650 to um it. It's gonna require haiti a consistent and uh innovative 49:17.860 --> 49:20.010 effort that the army up to it already. 49:21.920 --> 49:25.230 Another question from are already inns that given by Seoul's 49:25.230 --> 49:29.430 continued threaten operations in iraq and syria of this woes 49:29.430 --> 49:32.790 and increased operations of the Taliban in Afghanistan. 49:33.180 --> 49:36.110 What stoke probability of the slowdown of the reduction. 49:36.620 --> 49:41.360 Of conventional ground forces in Afghanistan uh and to the possible 49:41.360 --> 49:43.850 re introduction of ground forces into iraq. 49:44.750 --> 49:51.050 Are okay with respect to Afghanistan uh. I do think that we are 49:51.050 --> 49:56.880 committed to a any terrain presence in Afghanistan makes good 49:56.910 --> 50:02.320 all the the promise of a tremendous effort and the incredibly 50:02.320 --> 50:07.190 skilled effort that we've made a to date and it's natural that 50:07.230 --> 50:10.940 we are considered that the president considered back in march 50:10.940 --> 50:15.190 making changes to the plans that word for said al two and a half 50:15.190 --> 50:16.950 years ago. That's a long time ago. 50:17.570 --> 50:21.070 But in the meantime don't forget there was a bad eight months 50:21.110 --> 50:25.220 purer about an eight month period in between president karzai 50:25.220 --> 50:27.520 in president ghani we're. 50:28.580 --> 50:31.730 Political. Development and therefore some of the development 50:31.730 --> 50:35.390 of the Afghan security force essentially stood still and that's 50:35.390 --> 50:38.440 time it needs to be built a so there are various new reality 50:38.530 --> 50:42.450 associated but with the new times and that's why the prison a 50:42.500 --> 50:46.100 considered day and still considering making adjustments to of 50:46.100 --> 50:50.920 calamitous two and a half years. Odd older um and uh it again 50:50.920 --> 50:54.450 just to repeat what I said it's not a question of whether about half. 50:55.370 --> 50:59.230 To make good on that commitment going forward spot and and just 50:59.230 --> 51:04.790 a reminder that of money. He speaks ed and a very good at that. 51:05.600 --> 51:11.800 While our presence there to train it fires assist conduct counterterrorism 51:11.800 --> 51:15.790 operations and so forth is crucial and will stay crucial. 51:16.860 --> 51:20.310 It is very important that not just we eat but all of the country's 51:20.310 --> 51:25.640 sober coalition this fought in Afghanistan stick Wit of the funding 51:26.100 --> 51:29.160 of the Afghan security forces and with be. 51:30.030 --> 51:33.660 The uh Afghan government to develop the country. 51:34.730 --> 51:38.640 Above because none of this is to use your reversible and we need 51:38.640 --> 51:45.430 to stick to with it with respect to iraq a bit a D. 51:46.680 --> 51:50.450 Basic strategy to use to. 51:51.020 --> 51:55.980 Up a In a bull support. 51:57.010 --> 52:00.660 Beary. Capable motivated. 52:01.240 --> 52:05.980 Iraqi security force that set trek bitter rock because as you 52:05.980 --> 52:08.650 know to iraq is a deeply divided country. 52:09.320 --> 52:13.370 And a so good enough to be a haven to flee older. He mulled truly 52:13.370 --> 52:15.350 multi sectarian Iraqi army. 52:16.040 --> 52:21.240 One that for example contains a now sony's that it's a credible. 52:22.350 --> 52:25.800 Clear and hold force in the western part of the country. 52:26.070 --> 52:27.650 That's difficult to do. 52:28.490 --> 52:31.990 And yet we know that even the we can defeat I soul. 52:33.210 --> 52:35.620 But it's keeping them defeated the citric. 52:36.160 --> 52:40.030 Is the last steam part of lasting defeat. That's the trick and 52:40.030 --> 52:40.810 for that. 52:41.420 --> 52:45.770 We can substitute for capable of motivated local forces. We can 52:45.770 --> 52:46.670 enable them. 52:47.190 --> 52:50.440 We can make them successful and we are prepared to do that we 52:50.440 --> 52:53.480 are doing that by the way you you mentioned people only graham 52:53.480 --> 52:56.820 when we have people the grub applied not only in and um. 52:57.920 --> 53:02.740 A bed dead up. But did in uh uh. 53:03.710 --> 53:07.840 Iraqi kurdistan and eight in and a number of locations like to 53:07.840 --> 53:13.370 cotton when Thai G and so forth out of the west a which are precisely 53:13.550 --> 53:17.390 devoted to the purpose of training equip being and and a bleed 53:17.580 --> 53:21.170 a specially help bearer sunni forces. 53:22.150 --> 53:25.340 But we're still waiting for the Iraqi government. To. 53:27.320 --> 53:32.810 Uh uh uh saw a net and paying those forces inadequate numbers. 53:33.530 --> 53:40.580 Um. And uh we continue to cat on a a a prime minister body. 53:41.090 --> 53:45.410 But to do to act but to them and I'm confident that that what 53:45.410 --> 53:48.940 happened over tall. I got a but beauty is.. Um. 53:49.840 --> 53:55.710 Um. If it is a necessary step that depends upon political what 53:55.710 --> 53:58.910 have a action in very good at that can be. 53:59.450 --> 54:01.490 Have a say this frustrated we slow. 54:03.290 --> 54:07.880 Um what do you think will happen to the national defense authorization act. 54:07.880 --> 54:09.830 You think that president will be toe. 54:10.520 --> 54:14.370 He has said he would all up over um. 54:15.790 --> 54:20.380 But number of profusion he's a they're all just that I mean no 54:20.410 --> 54:25.180 up of the few indices. I think been spilled out very clearly 54:25.240 --> 54:30.660 one is the of the boat go issue at the president's insistence 54:30.660 --> 54:35.330 which I believe in deeply that we needed normal appropriation here. 54:35.330 --> 54:39.700 We gotta stop us erkki tricker keech erkki formal by Judy. 54:40.250 --> 54:43.750 And by what I'm I I very much hope is that everybody that I typed 54:43.750 --> 54:47.010 all I can be I'd that this is not something sector defense is 54:47.010 --> 54:49.490 involved in a don't participated in these. 54:50.010 --> 54:54.670 Conversations I'm killer him and and source all you can do is 54:54.670 --> 54:57.370 hope but piety you path Depo. 54:58.040 --> 55:01.040 But I somebody with responsibilities. I have to our people that 55:01.150 --> 55:05.920 uh our country can come together. By hiding the a it overall 55:05.920 --> 55:09.590 approach to the federal budget that has all of the pieces that 55:09.590 --> 55:13.100 we all know are necessary to do it right. 55:13.800 --> 55:17.030 A any which is not just the discretionary part of the budget. 55:17.860 --> 55:21.630 It doesn't look do the massive doesn't pay it doesn't pay the bills. 55:23.180 --> 55:25.860 And yet all the attention goes on the discretionary part because 55:25.860 --> 55:30.000 I realize that the other parts are difficult uh to to deal with it. 55:30.110 --> 55:33.300 But you can't deny the reality of its rating from in your face 55:33.300 --> 55:37.300 which is that that is what needs to be done and I just continue grow. 55:37.870 --> 55:44.460 A that that that is not a and and that that day is is that. 55:45.120 --> 55:48.710 Part of a reason why we go we need to really. 55:49.270 --> 55:52.900 Week we can do better madness. We need to insist upon a real. 55:53.450 --> 55:57.200 A real budget that I think that's it a import by the way as it 55:57.450 --> 56:00.720 as a member the nations security council's wells said three defense 56:00.720 --> 56:04.950 I can't be indifferent to the other folks who contribute to national 56:04.950 --> 56:08.860 security of today's david H the state department tell this committee 56:08.860 --> 56:11.730 law enforcement homeland security these are all part of game. 56:12.290 --> 56:14.840 Logged in today's world so its OS. 56:15.360 --> 56:19.940 Very importantly persons from I heard it was a but in your mind. 56:19.940 --> 56:24.300 You know it takes the whole enterprise to make a A strong safe 56:24.300 --> 56:27.600 and healthy a country and then there are other things in their 56:27.600 --> 56:31.970 it have to do with for example the armies aviation restructuring 56:31.970 --> 56:35.870 and issued two dozen other things that I objective an not the 56:36.030 --> 56:40.680 advised the present an object to also that are standing in the way. 56:40.680 --> 56:42.300 It's also making change that. 56:43.100 --> 56:49.100 We have judged use the Of lowest rate school where a of making 56:49.100 --> 56:53.020 adjustments to paying budget circumstance. We all the poor. 56:53.490 --> 56:57.130 So we apply or analysis we apply or professional judgment to 56:57.130 --> 57:01.630 that and we say this is where we think we need to make changes 57:01.820 --> 57:05.140 to do the best we can under the circumstances and when it comes 57:05.140 --> 57:08.000 back to us and they said no we want you to keep spending money 57:08.000 --> 57:09.110 were you know. 57:09.980 --> 57:13.640 It is less effectively spent than elsewhere. That's enormously 57:13.640 --> 57:17.590 frustrating asa like that's another where we need to get serious 57:17.980 --> 57:22.230 about investing uh in in defense as I said before it's not a 57:22.230 --> 57:23.740 game and it's not a birthright. 57:24.460 --> 57:25.810 About serious business. 57:26.620 --> 57:30.060 Of last question search could you comment on duty initiatives 57:30.260 --> 57:34.080 with respect to acquisition reforms about only impacting deployment 57:34.340 --> 57:35.540 but the future force. 57:36.120 --> 57:39.370 At the two three I can some you may know I was once under stricter 57:39.370 --> 57:44.090 for acquisition technology in and logistics and and I feel passionately 57:44.090 --> 57:47.540 about acquisition reform in that and he goes back to the thing 57:47.540 --> 57:48.630 we just been discussing. 57:49.160 --> 57:50.070 You can't. 57:50.890 --> 57:52.950 Goes to the year. 57:54.890 --> 57:55.410 Uh huh. 57:56.580 --> 58:01.900 Uh you know comes in and they end with a straight face an advocate 58:01.930 --> 58:03.020 for more money. 58:03.910 --> 58:04.850 For defense. 58:05.470 --> 58:10.290 If you can't in the same bereft. Explain how we're making best 58:10.290 --> 58:11.910 use of every dollar we get. 58:12.480 --> 58:15.760 You did the two things have to go together gifted we in those 58:15.760 --> 58:16.940 two ideas to we have. 58:17.600 --> 58:20.000 So we have to showed that we're better. 58:20.940 --> 58:24.730 That spending money at the same time. We ask for more money. 58:25.280 --> 58:29.430 And so it's essential and we of course we owe it to the for worse 58:29.460 --> 58:31.090 because every dollar we spend. 58:31.750 --> 58:34.980 Doing something that's lower priority is a dollar that is to 58:34.980 --> 58:38.820 be used for readiness that is used to equip their successors 58:38.820 --> 58:40.750 with better quit meant that is induced. 58:41.760 --> 58:44.770 So that they're more of them to their left in their right in 58:44.770 --> 58:45.350 the line. 58:46.130 --> 58:50.410 Um and this acquisition reform is just part of the by the way 58:50.410 --> 58:51.690 there are things like iraq. 58:52.400 --> 58:56.130 That is the infrastructure reform that needs to occur to that's 58:56.130 --> 58:59.990 not exactly winning the popularity contest around e-reader um. 58:59.990 --> 59:04.060 But I would be a liar if I didn't stick up for it. It's the right 59:04.320 --> 59:05.100 thing to do. 59:05.830 --> 59:09.410 Uh in terms of acquisition there for a just a couple of commands um. 59:10.760 --> 59:13.040 Up to the sauce. 59:14.040 --> 59:14.970 Uh huh. 59:16.040 --> 59:17.160 You discipline. 59:18.010 --> 59:23.280 And it ey constant dialogue with are industry partners is the 59:23.280 --> 59:24.050 critical fit. 59:24.740 --> 59:28.430 Odd here it's important that we have program managers who works 59:28.460 --> 59:31.720 Syrians who are knowledgeable about the needs of industry. 59:32.360 --> 59:35.720 Could work well water industry a partner Stuart. Good managers 59:35.720 --> 59:37.360 and we stick up for about. 59:38.370 --> 59:43.530 Uh and um another thing all say there are many many dimensions 59:43.530 --> 59:46.900 to just another one on just mention since marks here. It is that 59:46.900 --> 59:51.700 I a M one of these people who very much welcomes and of the greater 59:51.700 --> 59:56.660 in the fall summit of the uniform side been a acquisition that 59:56.660 --> 59:59.950 is something there hasn't been enough of mal for some decades. 01:00:00.600 --> 01:00:04.990 Arm like I'm not a fan of all proposed ways of doing matt all 01:00:04.990 --> 01:00:06.380 be candid. There are also. 01:00:06.920 --> 01:00:08.830 But um I think it's the right. 01:00:09.350 --> 01:00:13.590 The direction and I have my own faults which i've proposed a 01:00:13.590 --> 01:00:17.110 form of Undersecretary candle about how we can make that happen 01:00:17.470 --> 01:00:21.950 uh that's in that would be a very welcome adjustment of and I 01:00:21.950 --> 01:00:24.450 think would strengthen us as well so there are couple fought 01:00:24.450 --> 01:00:27.110 sought map of the main thing is we gotta keep that. 01:00:27.770 --> 01:00:31.920 Yet to be koalas. That's the key to retain ema confidence of 01:00:31.920 --> 01:00:35.990 the taxpayer that we know that it's their money it's not our money. 01:00:36.890 --> 01:00:39.700 Thank you very much sir what support more morocco closer.
