I am very familiar with the importance of a resilient logistics chain, and I do thank you for your efforts to bolster support to our military forces around the globe.
My concern is that linking budgeting to the number of full-time employees does not reflect accurately the unique maintenance public safety needs at our refuges.
Last year was a very challenging year for the Navy. And I am hopeful that 2018 will be much better in terms of improving your readiness posture.
We want to support your efforts to rebuild readiness and recovery from the budget uncertainty caused by sequestration and continuing resolutions.
