There's no evidence of that, sir.

I think the political piece, which is where the Iraqis really must lead, is critical, sir, to the success of the mission.

I have long-agreed with this assessment, and introduced the Cyber Warrior Act which would establish National Guard cyber teams in each State to leverage this talent pool.

The dynamic nature of the cyber threat presents a unique problem in that we typically find ourselves in a perpetual game of catch-up.

They cannot defend against columns of tanks, troops, air defense systems coming from Russia with blankets alone.

I am highly concerned about this information in light of the fact that TRANSCOM will be instrumental as we leave Afghanistan.

If confirmed, I look forward to working with Congress to ensure that cyber capabilities for CYBERCOM, the Military Departments, and the Services are appropriately resourced and efficiently managed.

I do not think you can say that with a straight face.

Do you think it's appropriate for a commander to ignore the advice of counsel or an Article 32 investigating officer when they recommend proceeding to prosecution?

Because, just because you've never seen it doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

This plan could severely impact the civilian employees currently working at DFAS sites like the one in Rome, NY.

What do you think are our two most important cyber needs for the next 5 years?

I think our withdrawal in Iraq did not allow us the time to develop sustainable Iraqi forces and to provide the environment within which effective governance would develop.

What challenges do you see, and if confirmed, what would you do to address concerns about implementation?

I do not believe the commander should overrule the judgment based on evidence.

We don't trust the system. We don't trust the chain of command. We don't believe justice will be done.

We have seen columns of Russian equipment, primarily Russian tanks, Russian artillery, Russian air defense systems, and Russian combat troops entering Ukraine.

If confirmed, do I have your commitment to keep my office apprised of how that review is going and what the time line for integration is and whether there will be any exceptions?

Do you believe that current retention strategies are useful to the cyber force, or should we be considering different strategies?

In your opinion, what can Congress do to assist DOD in this effort?

I am confident that through these processes, as well as through U.S. Cyber Command's Cyber Guard exercises, the Department will develop a path to integrate cyber forces into our Homeland defense strategy.

I have long agreed with this assessment, and introduced the Cyber Warrior Act which would establish National Guard cyber teams in each State to leverage this talent pool.

Isn't it true that, today, when there is a serious crime that's taken place, there are sufficient lawyers to investigate those crimes?

I authored a bill last year called the Cyber Warrior Act, which leverages the talent pool that already exists within our National Guard.

I support the standards for detainee treatment specified in the revised Army Field Manual on Interrogations.
