I fully believe that the first responsibility of the federal government is to provide for the security of its citizens and therefore, it is our responsibility to continue to better understand the readiness situation the United States Army finds itself in, and then for us to chart a path to assist in correcting these deficiencies and shortfalls. We now ask the senior leaders of the U.S. Army here today to provide us with their candid and best military advice related to the current state of U.S. Army readiness and its efforts to rebuild where it is required. This afternoon we are honored to have with us: · Lieutenant General Joseph Anderson, USA Deputy Chief of Staff, G-3/5/7 · Lieutenant General Aundre F. Piggee, USA Deputy Chief of Staff, G-4 · Lieutenant General Gwendolyn Bingham, USA Assistant Chief of Staff for Installation Management We look forward to hearing from our witnesses." |
