I believe that stability and tenure length matters.

However, massive cuts in the national security budget are making their jobs even more difficult.

I am very concerned that we are sacrificing too much capability at a time when we should be increasing our current structure and capabilities in these uncertain times.

These cuts come at a time where we're confronting a more dangerous and volatile world.

Today, the greatest risk our military faces is becoming a hollow force.

How will each of your Services achieve the headquarters reductions ordered by Secretary Hagel and at the same time ensure critical functional capabilities are not lost?

will this action serve to break the joint Army-Navy H-60 helicopter multi-year procurement contract?

when would be the latest date a decision would have to made by DOD in time to support the overhaul in the fiscal year 2016 budget?

We accepted risk in major combat operations and stability operations.

A return to sequestration in fiscal year 2016 with a 175,000 force would equate to high risk.

The Navy's budget reflects a revision to its ship counting rules.

The Marine Corps is going to be required to reduce its end strength from 182,000 to 175,000.
