We will call the meeting to order. Were going to receive testimony from two of my favorite people, general lori robinson. I have to say i taught her everything she knows when she was the Wing Commander at teeinger air force base in oklahoma. And from kurt tidd, the commander for the u. S. Southern command. There is a lot of overlap. We, all three of us talked about this between the north and the south command and i think that is one reason that senator mc cain would want to have these meetings together. The new National Defense strategy, nds, identifies protecting homeland, sustaining american advantages in the western hemisphere as key priorities even as the dod focuses on the rising challenge of great power competitors.
