Mazie K. Hirono: “I write to express my deep and continuing concern regarding the state of the United States military’s critical munitions…”

Our service members and their families deserve nothing less than a full and honest accounting of the costs of this war.

By expending critical munitions at an unsustainable rate in the Middle East, the Department is creating a severe strategic vacuum in the Indo-Pacific.

We urge swift approval of Governor Green’s request for an emergency declaration and the additional federal assistance it will provide.

Decisions as significant as closing 57 facilities across 31 states must include consultation with local communities and governments.
