Madeleine Bordallo: “We have neglected to do our very basic job of providing adequate funding for our military.”

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.

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

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.
