a mission we've best, that's why the german worship that we were on is, is part of this mission. and the other countries are also contributing different kinds of, of ships and in airplanes to, to monitor the baltic sea. and this mission is going to be coordinated by a also a relatively new task force that is based in nicole stuck in northern germany from the city from which we set sail on the worship month to book. and the important aim of this mission is to gather, to gather and share among allies, a big amount of data concerning c routes concerning important traffic junctions in the baltic sea, but also monitoring any suspicious activity. it could be ships that aren't signaling their presence. it could be ships that are taking a curious route to zig zagging in the sea, and these are all things that the allies are going to share and try to paint the picture of what exactly is going on in the baltic sea and body. what on board the ship did the crew notice any suspicious activity in the water? as you know? so i, in my colleague hanging onto a film, those a nice pictures that we sa

that is the objective of the mission -- a mission that we will continue to support., we must understand that the mission needs to be broadened for it to be able to eliminate these gangs. if that can be achieved, we need to discuss the future of haiti -- the opportunity they have to become a place where so many industries that are located today, now that there are continents like manufacturing and textiles, those that already exist, could be expanded. they could reach more people. they could give rise to jobs. they could be an investment opportunity. but that is impossible if there is no security. so the first issue to tackle is the violence and insecurity because we see this large territory ruled by gangs. as you know, as a senator, i worked on hope help. i was one of the sponsors of that draft bill. now another senator is working on that. the idea is to continue with that law so that those opportunities can be there for haiti and its future. it's an issue of great importance. it's a matter you cannot ignore and you haven't ignored. finally, i'd like to say that the

they want to stay and support the mission. we are not going to pay the way google pays, that's fine, because we offer other things. but we have to offer a fair compensation package to make things work. the last piece is focusing on the employee experience. all of these new employees need to learn about us, about what we do and why it is important, about the kinds of missions we support and the kinds of opportunities they have to build a career in our environment. we have put a huge effort on teaching people about the mission and being much more purposeful and how we talk about our work, and engage with all of these new employees so that from early in their career, they really feel a part of the work we do and they understand this bigger picture of what we are trying to accomplish. mr. longenecker: thank you. tom? mr. mason: our focus has been shifting away from the rapid growth that we experienced and the addition of new staff to more attention and development of the staff that we have. our peak hiring year was 2023. we hired

i want to hear from the folks on this border mission, what is your mission. are you being utilized. it adds to readiness and doing a real world mission and how does it affect those aspects. i think we have seen it already in the recruiting numbers. we have seen an enthusiasm and excitement from young men and women who want to join the military actively because they are interested in being a part of the finest fighting force that the world has to offer and not doing a lot of other things that divide or distract. it's about readiness and focus. you have seen it from the executive orders that the president has issued. there can be confusion about that. but from our perspective, why you got rid of something like d.e.i., because from our perspective it has served the purpose of twieding the force as opposed to uniting the force. and i have said it quite publicly and i want to be transparent with this building and everyone who serves hearsay the same thing that we say in public. i think the single dumbest phrase in military history is our diversity is our strength. i think our strength is

as far as our mission, you have to explain to folks. i was at a student activity at the university of tennessee, a student came up to me and said we like you but we don't like your mission and i said expand more. they said the oppenheimer movie. i said ok, explain more. their perception was the movie ended with the dilemma on the use of nuclear weapons. the ethical dilemma. what we are about is deterrence. we do not ever want to be in a position where someone uses a nuclear weapon on us, or where we are in a situation where we might have to use a nuclear weapon. we do what we do because it is the foundation of our nation's security and i know you will hear from general cotton on wednesday. he is a big advocate for this is essential. what we do is foundational to our nations security and i think it is helping people understand that, that it is not that we are a bunch of folks who are planning to go out and use nuclear weapons easily, we are about nuclear deterrence. dj: thank you. in the last two minutes, i will give you an opportunity t
