There is no room in our current aviation readiness status to suffer personnel or material losses that should be avoidable.
I think that we all agree that when the American public thinks of the term 'national defense,' they envision our proud service members stationed around the world, and the equipment, the ships, tanks, and aircraft that we supply so they can…
If we are going to rebuild readiness, we need to ensure that the depot maintenance accounts are fully funded to meet the requirement.
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.
