I would assess they are a steady state of aggressive activities.

I believe the Senate in a bipartisan fashion should repeal the BCA [Budget Control Act] and establish a more reasonable limit on discretionary spending.

What other key issues or challenges is TRANSCOM currently addressing in its role as the Distribution Process Owner?

What additional tools would help TRANSCOM in carrying out these responsibilities?

I am aware of General Nicholson's description of the current status of the fight as a stalemate.

does TRANSCOM have a forecast concerning whether the available number of qualified and experienced mariners will be adequate in the future to support a large-scale activation of an extended duration (i.e., beyond 6 months)?

I have to tell you, Madam Secretary and General, we are going to have to start imposing some penalties if you do not carry out the law.

General McDew, what short to mid-term mitigation plans does TRANSCOM have in place to address any air refueling shortfalls that may occur?

General McDew, how does TRANSCOM determine if it is able to provide the necessary airlift to meet the most stressing potential GRF employments and where is that readiness captured?

Congress has not passed a fiscal year 2018 budget, something that should embarrass every Member of the Senate and House.

General McDew, did TRANSCOM's wargame involve potential attrition of mobility forces? If yes, what were the results and the implications for the current numbers of mobility forces?

TRANSCOM is increasingly challenged by aging and obsolete infrastructure issues that affect equipment, ports, IT systems, and more.
