The answer is yes. But every strategy has some degree of risk to it.

We are not ahead in everything.

Well, it wasn't closed last year when it was at 33 at that time. So we are somewhere between there.

You see that is the past. I am projecting forward.

The reason I am asking this, we want to get something started on the record now to prepare for that possibility.

I am convinced of this, and I think we need to get those up.

The reason for that is--it is a security reason that we have to keep that capability there.

Yes, of course. One of those, obviously, is going to be maintenance. Any time all four services have gone through what you have gone through, it is O&M [Operation & Maintenance]. It is maintenance and modernization.

So I think the short answer is no.

Thank you, General Daly.

I think we are on the right pace to do that.

It might help if the appropriators can give us some flexibility, so we can spend 2018 money in 2019.

Stable funding over time at the right amount, with paying attention to our people, will get us out of the hole.

The American people need to know the problems.

We cannot justify doing what we should do in rebuilding our military.

We know what has happened to us with our 17 years of sustained fighting.

It was kind of interesting, when I was watching down at Fort Sill, the 6-foot extension and what it did to the range, while it increased the range from this to this, I do not remember the numbers, it still left a void in between.

We ask that Congress end the Continuing Resolution and provide the funds requested in our fiscal year 2018 submission.
