secretary esper: that's another great point. let's take the second part first work the corps of engineers. they do great work. very good program managers. but they have a number of federal rules and regulations they follow. they have a very expansive contracting process and that takes time. the corps of engineers does not build projects. they contract others to do the projects. so my hunch is, it would probably be quicker if it's done at the state or local level. nonetheless i don't mind offering up the corps of engineers to come to a state to talk to whoever a governor wants them to speak to with regard to renovating buildings or what not to see if we can do it quicker, we should -- we're prepared to do that. but i think at this point the key is speed. but again, i need to have those conversations with the governors and others. with regard to your first question, you're right. i spent a lot of years in guard and reserve. it takes time to activate people. depending on the type to have unit, you have to activate the person but yo

secretary esper: i have no details. the state department will be working on that with regard to your second question, courtney. the first question, the agreement said we'll reduce to within 135 days, if i recall correctly. that drawdown would begin in the first 10 days. but my instructions to the commander was, let's get moving. let's show our full faith and effort to do that. as you know, i said on many occasions i'm comfortable we can still conduct all the missions we need to conduct at 8,600. reporter: it has begun the drawdown? secretary esper: the general had my ok to begin at his pace. certainly within 10 days. the requirement said -- the agreement says within 10 days it should begin. can you be specific about the impact of coronavirus on ongoing military operations? and also, what you're doing here in the united states to prevent the spread of the virus among troops? secretary esper: do you want to take that? general milley: yeah, david, thanks. overseas, we have a variety of exercises, operations ongoing. right

reporter: \[inaudible] secretary esper: no. reporter: also on coronavirus, there may be a cluster it seems in the pacific northwest. are soldiers at, say, joint base louis mccord, are you doing additional precautions there to test and maybe test to see if there's any exposure there? secondly, for base supplies like the commissaries, what are you doing to make sure those remained stocked? secretary esper: we are relying on local commanders because each one is different with regard to the impact on the community, their resources, their stocks, all that. what i'm prepared to do is resource them as need be so we put out the call. what authorities do you need? what resources? how can i surge the -- whether it's d.l.a. or other parts of the medical community is to provide the commanders the support they need in order to do those three things? number one, protect the service members and their families. number two, ensure our mission is safeguard, that we can conduct our missions. number three, support the interagency with the whole of

secretary esper: i'll take the first question. our expectation is a reduced level of violence would occur it would decrease over time as we move forward. things happen, first of all, we have to verify action -- an attack happened. e have to figure out atrish bugs. -- attributei tifshgs on. evaluate each day and i'm confident on general milley's apabilities on the ground and give us feedback with regard to the implementation of the base agreement. milley: two things. litic it's not a money group. i know the attack you're talking about. got some initial reports on it. know exactly who did that yet. that's first point. caution i would everybody to think that there's going to be an absolute violence in afghanistan. that is probably not going to happen. tos probably not going to go zero. this is a significant step forward, this agreement, and lead to g to inter-afghan dialogue and leads to a peace agreement. to go to t's going zero immediately, that probably case. going to be the so on the c.t. piece. stay ited states will committed to

secretary esper: i have no details. the state department will be working on that with regard to your second question, ourtney. we reduced to 8,600 within 135 days, if i recall correctly. that drawdown would begin in the first 10 days. but my instructions to the commander was, let's get moving. let's show our full faith and effort to do that. as you know, i said on many occasions i'm comfortable we can still conduct all the missions we can conduct at 8,600. reporter: it has begun the drawdown? secretary esper: the general had my ok to begin at his pace. certainly within 10 days. the requirement said-- the agreement says within 10 days it should begin. reporter: can you talk about the specific impact of coronavirus on ongoing military operations? and also, what you're doing here in the united states to prevent the spread of the virus among roops? general milley: yeah, david, thanks. overseas, we have a variety of xercises, operations ongoing. right now the overall broad impact to the uniformed u.s. military is very, very

secretary esper: hello, everyone. i'm secretary of defense mark esper, i'm joined by joint chief of staff chair general milley and chairman lopez. today we want to talk to you about all that d.o.d. is doing to protect our people, our troop, our families from the coronavirus and what we're also doing to support the interagency whole of government efforts to protect the american people. first i want to thank all of you for your patience and commitment to the nation in this time of great challenge. it's a time of great challenge as we face the pandemic upon s. i want to reassure you that the administration, the military are taking all necessary measures to protect our force, to protect our people, to protect our dependents, to protect out contractors and civilians. i've made protecting our people our top priority. the second priority i've outlined for the past couple of months has been ensuring our -- ensuring the safeguarding of our national mission capabilities. in other words, making sure we can do our mission when ca

esper: that is what we can offer right now. they currently have a program to develop an antigen, kind of like a vaccine, but it could potentially shield anyone from contracting the disease for vaccine of time until a comes available. can you describe what the level of preparedness is for any sort of covid therapeutic that might be in developing? sec. esper: i hope to see them sometime soon to find out where they are in terms of their work. to where i was today, they are working on both the vaccine and the treatment piece, which is therapeutics. so they are moving along on both fronts. i did not get too detailed of everything on the second part. i focused a lot on the vaccine-side. but we can get the joint staff surgeon to brief you all about that. reporter: can we get an update on the situation in iraq? sec. esper: we can do that another day. today's focus is coronavirus. announcer: that wraps up today's pentagon briefing on the coronavirus response. on capitol hill, the senate continues to debate a house-past economic aid pack

esper, would you like to hit that? >> dr. esper: i think everything is a balance. we also need to have mental health in addition to preventing us from getting virally sick. so, getting out into green spaces, open spaces, it's fine. if you get into enclosed spaces, like within a store, i would minimize your amount of time. i would just focus, especially if there and done like other individuals in there. if you are out there is , if you are outdoors, you can stay as long as you like. >> harris: let's pop this up on the screen. "i have heard covid-19 is not a skin contact virus. if that's the case, why is it a big deal that it can live on surfaces? stores are banning reusable bags, stating they can live on plastic up to three days. if it's not contact issue, doesn't matter?" dr. saphier? >> dr. saphier: because humans are imperfect creatures and we tend to touch things and put our fingers in our mouths and around our eyes and in the nose, and that's how we actually contract the illness. >> harris: well, that was very simple and to the point. doctors telling us not wan

i think secretary esper gets it. we have been emphasizing by saying we have to make our acquisition system much more agile, flexible, in order to get money to the right places, get technology, today's technology to the right places much, much more quickly and get the capability where it needs to be regardless of service branch as quickly as we can to that place. that not only means fixing the acquisition system but also looking very critically at where do the resources go and if we are only going to have this level of increase in top line then you are going to have to ask, ok, within that realm -- and joe pointed out -- within the realm of the top line budget, how do we make sure we get those dollars strategically to the best places for this nation? seth: well, this has been a very interesting discussion. and i hope and expect that with your agreement that we'll continue it in the future and thank you very much, both of you, for coming today. and taking the questions from the audience out there. and good luck. mr. wi

secretary esper, i support the wall and always have. but i really have a problem with the funding which i think you all know our position should be aprop raepted by us and that's our yob job.the reprogramming of the $3.8 billion of appropriated funds of support the border wall, and the reason it troubles me, $1.3 billion of that is taken out of the national guard and reserve equipment. national guard is every one of us have an affinity with the national guards. how do we justify the disproportionate cuts to the guard despite knowing the vital grow and aspects of national security. the guards are frontline defense in homeland security. >> yes, sir. thank you, i appreciate that. and i think with regard to your first remark, we would agree. our preference would be that this be funded through dhs. with that said we are where we are and d.o.d. will support dhs in this record. as i was saying to senator jones, when we try to find a clear, objective line by which to draw the sources, we came up with the one with regard to early to need or exce

after mark esper and general mark milley. top priority is ensuring the effectiveness and implementation of the national defense strategy. unfortunately under the last administration, we asked our military to do more with less, and that got us into trouble and 2017.12 we lost $150 billion to sequestration. our forces were devastated. i think we all understand that. as a result, when president trump came to office, he a country in crisis. rican military and crisis, thankfully he delivered on his promise to begin rebuilding the u.s. armed forces. he negotiated the highest level of defense spending ever, a down payment toward getting our military back to where it needs to be. but that's not enough. we face a more dangerous world. since then and they violated the inf treaty. china and the neighbors more frequently than accelerating the military and nuclear modernization. the bipartisan national defense strategy commission report said if we're going to adequately fund a national defense strategy and take on the threats, it's going

this.u can't do i think secretary esper gets it. we have been emphasizing by we need to make our acquisition system much more flexible, in order to get money to the right places, get today's technology to the right much, much more quickly and get the capability where it of s to be regardless service branch as quickly as we can to that place. that only not means fixing the acquisiti acquisition system but also critically at where and if we urces go are going to have this increase in top line then you are going that e to ask, ok, within realm -- and joe pointed out -- within the realm of the top line we make sure we get those dollars strategically to the best places for this nation? well, this has been a very interesting discussion. hope and expect that with your agreement we'll continue it the future and thank you very much, both of you, for coming today. nd taking the questions from the audience out there. and good luck. mr. wittman: seth, thank you. and thank you to hudson institute.

secretary esper if i could focus on that for a moment. assessing andd recalibrating our posture with regards to the to the ra great power competition. petichina has a leg up, we canne dispute that t, in developing technologies like hypersonic aircraft and missiles. the technology could give users the tactical long-range capability to hit targets with such speed and surprise that defending ag against them is ver difficult. great concern to all of us. so how is the d.o.d. investinga at the conflicting research priorities across we hservices. we have a lot of research going on out there to limit the duplicative spending on hypersonics. onice you're correct, hypersonis is one of our top priorities ino terms ofp developing capability in lethality in that field.d. we are doing innovative work tell you it is more out of r innovative than what you would see coming out of russia orchi china. i can assure you that. we haver. maximized every dolla. 3.2 billion dollars, to make sure that we get inventory outt in the field as possible. each of the ser

and listen secretary esper said and i think he's right. maybe we start with these platforms as lightly manned. put a few personnel onboard, figure out what they can do, can't do and then ramp up from there and then you're getting maximum utility out of your money and optimal efficiency out of those platforms. >> a lesson that might have been learned from the lcs. >> yes. >> a lighter question here, mr. courtney, again from a viewer. in the currently unfunded priorities in the dod, spending is says the viewer -- why not increase defense over two years by that much and reduce funding elsewhere such as suggestions 500 million for public broadcasting, $500 million for international family planning or some small percentage of the $150 billion in annual fraud goa, fraud, medicare and medicaid and so on and so forth? >> as i said at the beginning the one different environment we're operating in is the budget control act now is a thing of the past. it's in the rearview mirror and the agreement passed by congress in the early fall i think of last y

good to see you again secretary esper and john milley. it's been about two months, i agree with that important decision to take out that terrorist leader. he has a lot of american blood on his hands. despite the ridiculous politicizing that we saw at the time, people almost sharing that we were about to go to war with iran, unfortunately it has not been a unifying issue. can you share at all, was that a body blow we heard from you for others that it was a body blow and the impact that it's having on iran's terrorist activities in the threats to us in israel? >> i think senator, that as you well know, soleimani was a terrorist leader of a terrorist organization who killed many many americans. he wounded thousands more, killed his own people, people throughout the region, very capable adversary, but i think it is clear that taking him off the battlefield has set back the irgc in the iranian government with regard to spreading their malign activity throughout the region. i think by the same action, we have restored deterrence to a degree. so

esper, why did we not have the test kids available when other countries did? >> i think it's a great question. it's certainly one of the things we need to increase or capacity to do all the tests and screen as many people as we feel need to be screened. one of the issues that happened initially is everything was centralized through the centers for disease control and through the state and local health department. that part was actually fairly important. the last thing we wanted is people making their own tests up and then being wrong. you can imagine and you have problems if we had false-positives being report ed the fast has reduced some of those restrictions so that we can start doing testing at the institution level, and we can use some of the research that was done by the centers for disease control in order to help us develop our own tests to help increase the capacity initial to the cdc tests coming out. >> rebecca katz, how do we, the average consumer, family members, employers, employees figure out what is the timeline here? when will there be an all s

i'll start with secretary esper. i was pleased with the fifth quarter, i understand the focus on her interest in national security in europe. i think we all here applied that. without a doubt. but my question is, if this is european focus, why was it made to be based in fort knox. >> that have to refer you to the army for the answer. i don't know why they chose that is the basic location. >> i don't know if you have any insight. >> is an army -- and the rule sets that we operate by the service secretary but having said that a short while ago the chief staff of the army was discussed that it's been out there for quite a while, the entire decision-making process. the bottom line, do you want a permanent force or rotated, with the needs of the commander. the consensus and decision was made with water fully involved in the decision-making, it's best to have a conus base and rotate forward a small command post that can move around to various countries within europe rather than be tied to a given base and have a big struct

i'm going to talk to defense secretary mark esper in the new action the president is invoking in the new act. andrew cuomo saying the state he runs is in desperate need of thousands more ventilators and icu hospital beds and all nonessential businesses need to keep 50% of employees working from home. let's bring in shimon prokupecz. there is exemptions to the 50% working from home requirement? >> reporter: there are exemptions. and they are important exemptions. because these are the essential workers, from doctors to nurses, to first responders, emergency workers, firefighters, police officers. in the coming days, these are the people that are going to be on the front line. and the governor said these exemptions do not apply to them. they need the nurses and the doctors to keep working. and in fact, they need more nurses and that is a big fear right now of the government, they do not have enough nurses. and they're look for more nurses to come in and try and staff some of the hospitals for what is to come. so they are going to be a lot of exemptions and that is mostly for the first

secretary esper, last week we heard the army had excess capacity to test. about 16,000 tests they could run a day. but they are running at a very small amount. white isn't the military helping the civilian labs with testing to ease the back load? and if i could as quickly a question about afghanistan, why did secretary of state pompeo feel the need to go out to afghanistan? from your perspective, is that so-called peace deal in jeopardy? and has he slowed the number of troops coming out of afghanistan? >> i don't want to get too much into afghanistan today. i want to speak about coronavirus. but i spoke to secretary pompeo earlier today. he's obviously over there to try and keep the process moving forward. otherwise he will be coming back, i'm sure he will speak to it more broadly once he returns to the united states. on your first question, i've already forgotten with the first question was. >> about testing. >> testing. we have 16 labs available. we can test at least 16,000 per day as our throughput. i don't know where that number came from. i think we ar

mark esper noted that the u.s.dical labs, a significant number, they could process tests only for those who needs their tests to come the military lab. the military could potentially offer but the secretary went through a number of things. i think what was so striking is when he talked about the use of the national guard, he felt he needed to openly say and i am quoting him "this is not marshal law." a remarkable moment that a secretary of defense would even have to say that. what the national guards are going to do under the state's control is try and help and providing assistance in communities around the country. there will be a number of military field hospitals being sent to various areas. the secretary says he expects to go to seattle. these military will stopgap measures if you will. as the army corp. of engineers, get these facilities converting into bed spaces. they may be able to move onto other areas of the country where they are also desperately needed. so really trying to spread out the capability and

secretary esper asked me to go up on behalf of fema to figure out how can we come up with some type of a plan to help new york city. we basically created a standard design. we made this very, very simple. you heard in the clip earlier. we have got to be able to make this exceptionally straightforward. we need some facilities that are covid and other facilities non-covid and looked across the array of faciliesm scratch in te weeks. we said let's go find something already to code. already has electricity. already has fire and water. so we kind of put these in two different bins. something like a hotel or a college dormitory or perhaps a large area like a convention center or a sports arena. so, when i was with the governor he said what can die right away to get you started. i said we need to have a building like tonight. we need to have three more buildings by tomorrow night. we need to have your list of projects, governor, where you want us to get started. he turned us onto the javits center first. and that's where we are working with the entire team. this is not the corps of engineers.

next, defense secretary mark esper holds a briefing at the pentagon on the military's response to the coronavirus and the pandemics possible effect on military readiness. >> well, good afternoon, everyone. i want to start by expressing my sympathy for the defense department contractor who passed away this saturday after contracting coronavirus earlier this month. our thoughts go out to his family and friends as they mourn his tragic loss. over the weekend the department of defense continued to take aggressive action to surge personnel, capabilities, and equipment in support of trump's whole nation response to the covid-19 pandemic. on the frontlines of this fight are over 7,000 national guardsmen, operating across all 54 states, territories and the district of columbia who continue to assist state and local authorities in their response efforts. in new york, washington, and california, the president has approved mobilizing national guard troops under title 32 status, which provides them full access to federal resources, but still allows them to be managed by the state government. to b

secretary esper: i am fully confident we'll remain prepared for our missions. they are taking all precautionary measures to maintain capabilities. it's priority number with two behind priority number one, which is protecting our people and dependents. i'm confident we'll maintain mission readiness. as this grows in scale and scope, the sflofede virus, we'll have to take, be very careful and take prudent measures to ensure we maintain that. it will become more challenging. i'm confident if we take the right procedures we'll do that. with regard to your first question, how does it change the security environment, clearly what we see are countries are turning inward. they're looking closely at their own internal affairs how they treat and deal with the coronavirus. some country have been more affected than others. we have countries such as italy, a close 1kwr58 lie of ours, which probably sthiffered most so far. we have adversaries like iran suffering badly. prnt to note we have reached out to try to offer them aid and support. each country is dealing with this di

esper, give us the medical perspective on this question. obviously a lot of people in the country are desperate and are filled with hope at any discussion of any kind of potential treatment for this virus. chloroquine is the drug that we heard a little bit about today. tell us from the medical standpoint what you heard from the podium today and what you now know out there in the field. >> there are several medications. we have several medications that we are trying to see how well it will work. we have put them into human trials. chloroquine is something we've been using for quite some time. we don't need to know that it's safe. we have decades to know what to look for from a side effects standpoint. what the fda is saying is you can't just say, yeah, chloroquine works for this particular virus because that's only shown in a petri dish and doesn't translate to a human. but we have that medication. we can trial that medication. we're starting to work with this medication to see if it works but we can't come out and say definitely this chloro
