Madeleine Bordallo: “As for the incentivization, I would actually like to turn this over to my Army colleague, but I just want to say that…”

I am concerned that in a year where readiness has been cited as the Department's top priority, the Department's budget request falls well short of meeting the total depot maintenance requirement for the Army and the Marine Corps.

I am confident that there is bipartisan support among the Committee for offshore wind, which would improve self-reliance and lower electricity costs in the territories.

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.

I look forward to hearing how you believe it will be different this time.
