Madeleine Bordallo: “The entire world is on alert. The American people are on edge.”

I have long stated that just as important as it is to provide our service members with new, modernized equipment, we must fully maintain the assets that we already have.

The system needs, as you said, overhauling. There is no question about it, whether you go to privatization, or whatever. And it should not be a monopoly.

I am concerned that the Army is standing up a four-star organization with up to three lieutenant generals as deputies without a clearly defined command relationship.

I think it is fair to ask if the Army is, in fact, just creating more overhead that will further slow an already cumbersome process.
