Are they being used across all acquisition programs? Are they being used early in a program's life?

I would like to thank our panelists for joining us. You all had mentioned affordability.

I know when we met there, the concern is, is that the Russians are no longer selling parts to the Mi-17.

Have reductions in civilian- or contract-provided services for utility system operations... impacted availability of facilities that support operations and training?

Are there any legislative gaps or impediments that hinder implementation of Utilities Privatization?

Why has the Air Force slowed their implementation of Utilities Privatization efforts? Does the Air Force plan to continue the program on their remaining utility systems? If not, why?

What impact has the substantial reduction in MILCON spending had on the ability of installations to support readiness and serve as power-projection platforms?

What is the impact of funding sustainment, restoration and modernization and military construction below requirements over the long term?

Given consecutive years of funding below the targeted sustainment model and recapitalization requirements, how is funding prioritized in terms of which facility investments, both in terms of FSRM and MILCON, will be supported at a given…

How has the Air Force attempted to quantify the risks they are taking by perennially reducing their investments in base support services and infrastructure, if at all?

This is very important as we go into this year's National Defense Authorization Act [NDAA] to make sure that we address readiness from an infrastructure, installations, and facilities support perspective.

I call to order the House Armed Services Committee Subcommittee on Readiness.

To what extent do the reported readiness levels of installations take into consideration the condition of their facilities?

Let me expand upon that a little bit.

I look forward to hearing the views of the Navy today and the Air Force next week.

I will call to order the Subcommittee on Readiness, subcommittee of the House Armed Services Committee.

The nirvana needs to be to get technology to the warfighter as quickly as possible.

When we start out, we have a bureaucratic structure that starts out with a paper full of noes.

What impact has the substantial reduction in MILCON spending had on the ability of installations to support readiness...

What progress has the Marine Corps made in implementing the 2013 and 2014 OSD policy memorandums regarding the standardization of facility condition assessments and use of the Facility Sustainment Model?

Reductions in civilian/contract provided services have affected the availability of key facilities.

Taking risk in installation funding affects readiness and negatively impacts the ability to proactively manage the installation.

What are the services' plans to mitigate the impact of reduced OCO funding on base operating support and facilities sustainment, modernization, and restoration?

What progress has the Army made in implementing the 2013 and 2014 OSD policy memorandums regarding the standardization of facility condition assessments and use of the Facility Sustainment Model?

What steps, if any, are installations taking to reduce the risk that facility conditions will negatively affect their readiness to carry out assigned missions?
