“Reducing fuel consumption in the field is an urgent need of our military. It will not only reduce costs but also reduce the risk to our troops because fewer fuel deliveries will need to be made to dangerous areas. I also agree that future combat systems, and especially the new robotics technologies it will bring, are critically important to our troops. These technologies will continue to play an important role in the transition of our military to a more mobile, lethal, and effective force. I commit to my colleague from Michigan that the committee will reevaluate the cuts he has highlighted when the bill goes to conference with the House.”
