Singapore is a major trading partner. It will continue to play a major part in our engagement in efforts, particularly trade efforts, in Asia.

What is the Army doing to address the shortcoming in reliability, operational effectiveness, and suitability?

What strategies are in place to help ensure that the Army manages the inherent risk in procuring additional radios that have not met reliability thresholds?

General Phillips and General Barclay, what are the Army's current plans to develop and incorporate a SAASM-based solution into future increments of the Rifleman radio?

It is really extraordinary when you look at the cost piled up in this huge line that Medicare and Medicaid will spend on this.

Thank you, Chairman Nelson, for holding this hearing. This is such an important topic.

General Phillips and General Barclay, the Army is in a similar situation with Rifleman radios in buying additional radios that have not come close to meeting reliability requirements.

The Manpack radio has not yet demonstrated an Army-defined reliability requirement enabling it to have an 86 percent chance if completing a 72-hour mission without an essential function failure.

General Phillips and General Barclay, how many Rifleman radios will be procured under this waiver?

I urge the Army to use the retrograde opportunity to ensure that vehicle restraint systems are modernized to reduce the injuries encountered in future conflicts.

General Phillips and General Barclay, one of the Rifleman radio's key performance parameters is Position Location Information (PLI), the ability to automatically transmit a soldier's position location to team and squad leaders.

I also wanted to thank the advocates who have been here today.
