When you have women and children killed... that mission is not a success.

I would like to thank you for your continued support of USSOCOM and our people.

General McDew, what will be the impact on current operations and the current maintenance of existing air refueling aircraft because of the production delays of the KC-46 program?

EUCOM views Russia as a significant threat with mature and growing capabilities to conduct comprehensive and coordinated attacks in our AOR.

We still have not got a strategy for Afghanistan.

We take our jobs very seriously and we take the Constitution very seriously.

General McDew, as our adversaries field precision guided weapons, we must continue to review if our efficiency has hampered our ability to remain resilient in how we approach alternative logistics platforms.

. . . the ground force permanently assigned to EUCOM is inadequate to meet the combatant command's directed mission to deter Russia from further aggression.

Like changing voting rolls.

I am keenly aware members of this committee understand the responsibility each of us has to ensuring our military is ready to fight today and in the future.

I am hopeful that this consensus continues because this is a 20-year acquisition program extending well beyond this and future administrations.

We would like to know from you also if you could write us a letter how we can fully utilize the assets of our uniformed military in keeping with the posse comitatus rule so that we can maximize border security.
