air force. in that video you just watched was very instructive. now, if you look at the video and think about that video, what you saw is a progression of time. and what ucsf the enemy, not the enemy, our part in a, part of then competitors have been watching us. dash can , hit it. they had been watching us. as you move along, you may question today that video demonstrate we had overmatch in every one of those competitions, those wars that we thought. and i'm here to tell you with overmatch today here united states air force can and will maintain air supremacy today. the question is the future. the question is the rate of change, and what can we do to affect the future. so i was at a seminar, we have blue horizons. blue horizons is a study group. i love its captains and mages, its young office if they get together on a year and a study, people about and put them on the study and they said, hey, what can we do? how do we affect change? and the number one answer was this. we have to quit thinking

half of the employees there are air force. the air force has been involved in all aspects of this space business for a long time, and they are good at it. they need to change it for war fighting domain. technicalf capability, there are things there to be proud of. guyss came up, and you make gps. i looked at a gps satellite, not to buy it, -- >> do you want to buy one? we have lots of payment plans. >> it looked like a juicy target to me. a gps you defend satellite? >> i am not going to get into the specific technologies or tactics, clearly. i think the point being as technology continues to evolve, what is the requirements, the -- how do we do that in the most effective way, how do we have it in the capacity that can maneuver and can avoid and have situational awareness and bring in the artificial intelligence in a way that doesn't take 12 years? the most exciting point of the conversation we've been having since january is we are having a conversation out loud and in public where we are focused on such an important domain, t

serve in the united states air force. which 63,000 is more than the entire raf. and all careers are open to them. and i remember 27 years ago, for the first time, i graduated from the air force academy in 1982, served as an officer in europe during the cold war, for the first time in the first gull war, i remember our senior leaders, colin powell at the time and general schwarzkopf on national television, saying, talk about our men and women in harm's way, our men and women in uniform. i had never been included in that way before. it was always before that, our men in harm's way. and i remember just being absolutely struck by that i was on a team. i was part of something. think about the most protective person you know in your life, the person who no matter what, would keep you safe. there's a lot of people in this room today who are thinking about their moms. nobody -- we don't know anyone more protective than a mother whose offspring is threatened. if we want to talk about the protectors, they're not all guys. and those

air component maritime component. strata,, used to find 18 components. nuclear task force and structures. -- this time next year, when you walk in, you will have air, space, land, maritime. a war fighting structure that everyone will understand. we will put a four star in front of it. it ish as i love space, not my top priority in strategic command. my priority is the nuclear enterprise and it will always be, it should always be the number one priority in stratcom. i need the smartest guy i can find and put him in charge. was on thee that president's desk will establish that person. , for the last 12 hours, he is my space component commander. >> one thing i give him credit for, the vice president -- one thing that is helping ring a , commercialce space, where we see plummeting costs to launch and the sides of payloads, and also the groups that are starting to look at these norms of behavior. we think about who is in charge in space. on the national security side, for us, it is general hyten. that is not the question they are asking. tokyo, youight to fly through an ungover

is the head of the air force. is of the marine corps. -- >> i am looking forward to my new assignment in the pentagon. i find in this building a new atmosphere and a new approach to the problems of defense. i refer to such things as the rediscovery of the need for conventional forces, the recognition of subversive willingnessand the to make hard decisions in the controversial areas of defense. >> in recent years, the secretary of defense through the joint chiefs of staff has directed the far-flung military operations of the unified command's composed of all services. also, there are specified commands, which means single service commands such as strategic air command. there are nine in all, depending on the military crisis of the moment, the joint chiefs can designate the appropriate command for action. handled the command cuban crisis with admiral denison at the head. the pacific command handled southeast asia and the far east. withuropean command headquarters in paris is closely associated with the supreme comma

combat elements of the army and air force are prepared to strike hard and fast anywhere in the world.n fact, strategic air command is a nuclear deterrent to work with its tremendous second strike or counterpunch capability. bombers at the strategic air command are constantly alert. they are ready to respond to presidential command. protection for civilians on the homefront is the responsibility of civil defense, the national survey marking and stocking program has located potential shelter spaces for more than 100 million americans. isot interested, the program expected to provide shelter spaces for americans at home or at work. the women's army corps and sister services, the waves, and women marines continue to find work as an integral part of our defense forces. and the century after clara barton of the american red cross help the wounded in the civil war setting, the traditional role of nurses in war and peace has expanded around the world. during the past year, army nurses went to earthquake iran or u.s. field hospitals administered to the victims. since the berlin crisis of 1961,

[applause] >> thank you. i want to start off by mentioning a few things. twenty-seven years ago today the united states air force kicked after research storm. after saddam hussein invaded kuwait. of the time i young staff member in the building right next to us here. the united states air force has been continuously involved in combat operations for 20s seven straight years. on the state 27 years ago we had a hundred 34 fighter squadrons in the air force and today we have 55. last year's with the budget submission the president budget submission turned the corner to start to restore the readiness of the force and our ability to meet future threats. we have a long way to go. to restore the capability to defend the country but we are committed to do so. >> i like to introduce rachel

we're adding it in as a special interest item on the next air force inspector general inspections. and increased command interest and oversight. we've also promulgated new training for all security forces personnel on not only how to do the fingerprints, but how to file those fingerprints with the national database. as i mentioned in my opening statement, we are looking at the database structure with our chief data officer to see if there is a better way to do this that's less manual. >> mr. brandon, bump stocks are not complicated devices. it's my understanding after study of it that it could be a piece of plastic, so bump stocks could be made by a 3-d printer in somebody's garage. if i'm correct on that, given the simplicity -- if i'm wrong, you can tell me, but given the simplicity of manufacturing these devices, how does atf propose to regulate them? >> well, mr. chairman, to the first part of your question with 3-d printing, there's been rapid advancements in that technology over the last few years. i would imagine that's possible. and as far as going forth with any regulation,

and air force policy. over the next month, the security forces in the air force squadron by squadron are doing similar training. after the 2015 report shows that there were problems with respect to reporting criminal information to the federal databases, a number of steps were taken particularly by air force osi to correct deficiencies. they were insufficient. one of the things that was not done was a complete retroactive review in the database maintained by the air force to ensure that previous cases that had not been properly reported were properly reported. we have set up two task forces of 30 people each to go through the air force database that goes back to 2002 to ensure that any case that was not properly reported at the time is properly reported. i want to thank the fbi and the department of justice for working with us and ensuring we can make those updates expeditiously. there are some things that i cannot say today and i know many of you may have questions about accountability or disciplinary acti

direct hiring we're even seeing more effort by the air force to take advantage of the un authorities you've given us. thank you also for the defense acquisition work force development fund. we are using those funds to enable and power, educate and train exceptional acquisition officials to be able to take advantage of the authorities that you've given them to do things differently, faster and bringing more capability. there is much more work to be done, but we're beginning to make some progress. there are areas where we're frankly not very good at buying stuff. software is one real example and is an area of continued focus and extra emphasis by the air force. not all of this will work. that's why we call them experiments. but if we have productive failures, if we fail fast and learn for it and continue on in different vectors of technology, we have a chance of better meeting the add vversary in 203. and that's what this is all about. thank you, mr. chairman. >> thank you, madam secretary. i thank the witnesses. i'd like to point out that it was about three years ago that we were havin

that all of the intelligence agencies and before defense -- army navy, and air force, and the cia, all shared a premise with my mentors and wolf and others, all anticommunist as i was a very much cold warrior but premise was that -- not only there but in his successor we were facing essentially hitler with nuclear weapons. and very much the premise that just as hitler had been on world domination many first domination of asia, that -- that only congress -- you mentioned but nathan wrote the operational cold of the -- communists and a notion that they were total obsessed with idea of taking over by threat by hitler in the 30us or by attack by actual attack and that's what we were facing. over the world. taking over the world. essentially the world world domination and next built in that logics was that what was in their way? well the united states was in their way on this. and so -- we weren't threatening them but they want us out of way and field would be clear, and that they might even would -- cold-blooded calculating communist nathan would write willing to sacrifice considerable num
