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 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.
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.
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.
