Madeleine Bordallo: “I believe that ISIL could become a direct threat to the United States or our allies in Europe.”

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.

If we are going to rebuild readiness, we need to ensure that the depot maintenance accounts are fully funded to meet the requirement.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman. And I hope you don't extract this from my 5 minutes, but there is a native of Guam in the audience today, and I am very proud of her.
