DOD is now undertaking a comparative assessment of AT standards for leased space.

It will cost the Department $138 million/year for fiscal year 2014-2015 to retain four brigades in Europe.

Dr. Robyn and Secretary Yonkers, is it limited to just those units stationed at Tyndall, or could this possibly impact a wider number of DOD units?

Is such a shift of funding priority going to survive budgetary pressures?

the only priority that the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) identified as unfunded in last year's budget submission was ship depot maintenance.

Will you please explain how the Army arrived at the Full Spectrum Training Mile?

What effect will this disturbing development have on maintaining the operational availability of these aircraft?

I understand that a preponderance of F-22 Raptors came out of production with structural defects that are significantly limiting its service life.

How important are programs like the Readiness and Environmental Protection Initiative (REPI) in protecting our bases and ranges now and into the future?

The REPI is a highly effective and cost-efficient tool to help us meet that commitment.

Our testing and training footprint for new weapon systems continues to increase.

what DOD is doing in terms of energy efficiency, biofuels, and other energy-related programs is a model for the Federal Government and society as a whole.

Energy independence is achieved when naval forces rely only on energy resources that are not subject to intentional or accidental supply disruptions.

True energy security for U.S. bases cannot be realized as long as the supply of electricity to key systems and operations would be disrupted.

The President set forth a bold energy agenda and DOD, like other departments and agencies, is working aggressively to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels.

The Navy will achieve energy security by utilizing sustainable non-food feedstock sources that meet force sustainment functions.

Secretary Hammack, please provide an update on the status of the environmental assessment for the Pinon Canyon Training Site in Colorado.

the Navy's budget request shows funding for ship maintenance declining from 100 percent of projected requirements in 2010 to 97 percent in the 2011 request and 94 percent in the 2012 budget request.
