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 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 understand that 1-day safety standdowns were ordered after the recent mishaps so that the service could review its safety measures and curb a drastic rise in aviation mishaps.
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.
