Madeleine Bordallo: “In FY10, the Department added 17,000 new positions as a result of insourcing contracted services.”

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.

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.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. You always make my day.

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.
