If it's going to take seven to ten years, why shouldn't we just lease some icebreakers?

So no one's saying ten years and a billion dollars for one ship anymore, I hope?

What elements are included in this year's upcoming budget and FYDP?

What specific plans do you have to start executing elements of the JPARC 2025 to help modernize the Joint Pacific Alaska Range Complex?

Secretary Wilson, the Air Force concurred with GAO's F-22 recommendation to identify and assess alternative approaches to organizing F-22 squadrons.

What actions has the Air Force taken to address GAO's recommendation?

What are the plans to bring some of those F-35s to JPARC and the 18th Aggressors, and not just Nellis AFB?
