General McDew, do the Department's operational plans for regional and global contingencies assume 100 percent logistics, 100 percent of the time?
John McCain
The Public Record
John McCain was a prominent American politician and military officer who served as a United States Senator from Arizona from 1987 until his death in 2018. A member of the Republican Party, McCain was known for his bipartisan approach and commitment to national security. He was a veteran of the Vietnam War, where he was a prisoner of war for over five years, an experience that shaped his political career and views on military and foreign policy.
General McDew, do you believe that TRANSCOM can facilitate the mobilization sustainment of our armed forces if they were called to respond to a contingency in Russia or North Korea?
General McDew, how will TRANSCOM'S job be different when supporting a conflict in a contested environment, and what is TRANSCOM doing to prepare for the different set of challenges this kind of conflict would impose?
While I believe that we should pursue and exhaust every diplomatic option to bring the North Korean regime to the negotiating table, those options are somewhat limited.
We also need to have an ability, either your organization or someone, to respond and to try to prevent.
General McDew, how will TRANSCOM prepare civilian mariners to continue missions in the event of a cyber-degraded environment?
If we want to be far more effective, you would need the assets in order to do that.
