Up next, the chiefs of the army, air force, navy and marine corps testify on their budgets and the impact of repeated continuing resolutions in place of more longterm appropriations for the military branches. Held by the House Armed Services committee, this is about two hours, forty five minutes. [ banging gavel ] the committee will come to order. After having explored the next steps of defense reform in yesterdays hearing, we now turn to what is needed to repair and rebuild our military, and im grateful to each of the distinguished Service Chiefs for being with us today. Theres widespread agreement that funding cuts under the budget control act, plus a series of continuing resolutions, coupled with a pace of required deployment have damaged the u. S. Military.

The new majority was totally committed to get these bills to the floor. They were all ready, all 12 bills for the first time in six years, most of them ready about the end of may, the sirs o firsf june but with only a couple of exceptions were they allowed to come to the floor and that was at the very last minute, when it was too late really for this process to work the way it should.
