this was janet driver called this to my attention, from tinker air force base. and i thought this was something that was just unique to tinker air force base, and then i thought, no, it is elsewhere in oklahoma. and so that was the background of how this all started. we've come to learn that it's -- it is a problem nationwide. it's a national crisis of proportions we haven't seen since the scandal at walter reed about a decade ago. members of this committee, our staff and myself, we've all traveled and seen these problems firsthand. this is the third hearing this committee has had on this issue and i'm sure it's not going to be the last. we open that since our first two hearings in february and march that we would see more differences by now and be able to use this hearing, in fact, it was set up to discuss the progress that's been made. well, it is set up to look at the progress, but the progress has not been what we wanted. we continue to hear regularly from the families across the country about questionable practices, poor workmanship and about housing contrac

last week when you and i visited the air force base in mississippi, we met air force families that had been displaced from their homes as many as four times in recent years. as the families prepare for thanksgiving, they wondered whether they should decorate a christmas tree in their temporary homes or rely on the promise they would return to their permanent homes in time for their holidays. family descriptions and the challenges are profoundly personal and impactful to these families and therefore to us. we owe it to the families to get this right with your continued support, we well and i look forward to your questions. >> thank you, we will have five-minute rounds. we have more than a dozen contractors out there providing military housing to our services and some are better than others. therthere's one at one end of te spectrum and i'm very familiar because that's where the whole thing started in the opening statement i mentioned at the air force base, but there's also representing dahlstrom, travis, fairchild, and it might be a little unfair since you are the newest one to give you

she told me about the conditions and the health impact their family was handling at the air force base. i was angry and frustrated and hoping it was a limited problem. but sadly found out that it was not. and this is why we are here today. because the issues that have already been laid out, the infestations are rampant across the board. it's one of those things it is so outrageous to me that were not taking care of our service members and their families. and the way that they deserve because these people putting their lives on the line. and you have responsibly for 55 facilities through 26 bates states. hundred and 50,000 people, that is not an insignificant impact. and i am incredibly disappointed that you have failed to live up to your responsibility for taking care of the people that are living in these houses. it is cheating our military families and our taxpayers, and i've seen it firsthand. my staff and the secretary of the air force were just out at tinker again, there are ongoing problems. and i wish that i could say that things were all better, but they're not. because, well -

senator wicker, last week when you and i visited the air force base in mississippi, we met air force families who had been displaced from their privatized homes as many as four times in recent years. as these families prepared for thanksgiving, they wondedred whether they should decorate a christmas tree in their temporary homes. family disruptions are personal and impactful to these families and therefore to us. we owe it to our air force families to get this right. with your continued support we will. i look forward to your questions. >> thank you, secretary barrett. we're going to have five-minute rounds. we have more than a dozen contractors out there providing military housing to our services and some are better than others. there's one that's kind of notorious at one end of the spectrum and that's the i'm very familiar with that because that's where this whole thing started. in my opening statement i mentioned tinker air force base. and it might be unfair since you're the newest one, secretary barrett, but to give you the first question. you know, when does if you had a repeate

to make way for an american air force base every get the right to return to their homeland this was how we introduced the issue. today we take a well deserved break from brakes it to visit the sun kissed the beaches of the indian ocean that is one problem with this island paradise the people have been replaced by an air force base for that has been the fate of the ship or since her majesty's subjects cleared from the homeland half a century ago to make way for american service personnel we consider how this bitter legacy of colonialism still impacts tittie we look at the human cost of a people cleared from the islands. would you say that court ruling against britain was a step forward yes it is a step forward to go on our island and for that to happen we need to make the great britain to realise that they need to horner the rule of the law because they might as well ignore it and we do not want that we want other nations to back us back they should go and as. we need to go home and cannot sense of belonging only be satisfied with the community return to your own people of course but sen

naval base in florida has left 4 people dead including the gunman u.s. officials say the suspect is a member of the saudi air force who was in the united states for military training . at least 8 people were injured at the naval air station in pensacola the gunman's motive is not clear the base remain sealed off while investigators search for evidence u.s. president donald trump is saying saudi arabia's king solomon telephoned him to send his condolences and sympathy to the victims. the king said that the sort of people are greatly angered by the actions of the shooter and that this person in no way shape or form represents the feelings of the saudi people who love the american people so much so that was just given to me by the king of saudi arabia and i can tell you it's a horrible thing that took place and we're getting to the bottom of it all of the investigators are there now and they're studying it very closely. i think there's obviously going to be a lot of questions about you know this individual being a foreign national being a part of the saudi air force and then to be here training on our soil that to do

>> very secure at dover air force base. like most military installations but especially there. dover is the biggest port of entry for our entire military. but it has been the port mortuary for 50 years, maybe 50 plus years now. so, they go to the greatest lengths to make sure that nothing will interfere with those operations had nothing will interfere with a dignified transfer. just like we did as well. as i said we would fly up on a black hawk helicopter from the pentagon that was if the weather was good. but if the weather was bad or predicted to be bad we would drive up, there is one occasion in the winter of 2008 when i had a mission you have a duty roster so you know what days of the month you're on duty as a young officer. we had a mission coming in on thursday that was my duty day and on tuesday we left because they're supposed to be an ice storm intervening. and it reflects just what are priority our nation and therefore military puts on our fall and that they would take us out of funeral duty and sent us to dover air force base 48 hours early to sit there to make sure

in some ways, i can tell you than inally different the 1980's when i was at the air force base. totally different. there's been a lot of progress made. i'd also tell you the commander sets the tone. the commander is the one that sets the tone about, will not tolerate. i can tell you day one when i would have sit -- subordinate commanders. that was one of the topics i talked about. i think it's gotten better, but i think we still have a ways to go. dealw that we continue to know we've got some wonderful programs in place. how do i want to say this? hardt's just -- it's a problem. you have to create the it's notnt that on e, tolerated. and two, if something happens, somebody comes to tell you. in three, whatever happens after something happens, make sure it's done transparently, too. michael: one last question on the people of the military and then i will ask about china and i will let others share the joy and privilege of speaking with you. i wanted to get your overall sense about the military in society today. we know a lot is asked of a small number of people. the active-duty i

the image behind me is one of the homes brought to me by the families living at tinker air force base. mister taylor my question to you is even with improvement is this a place you would want to live or allow your family to live? >> congresswoman that picture is absolutely unacceptable. >> thank you i appreciate that. to be this is unconscionable. it will require a lot of effort and getting down to the heart of thegett problem not jut mandates and patching walls and paint makes it look good for a few moments but that's a band-aid on a wound and that's what people have been living with. we have to get to the heart of this issue i spoke to the secretary of the air force earlier today what we talked about was thehe need at the heart of this issue we have to stop putting band-aids on top of wounds and get to the core of the issue percussive next question is will you commit to making whatever investments are necessary for long-term solutions to reorganization and it needs to tear down properties and start over so that we do right by the military members and their families. >> i alluded to

they will wake up in the suburbs of las vegas and be driven to the air force base by the autonomous car not just a tesla. but once they enter the air force base. we say no. we still operate like it's 2008. i don't think that happens. the nature of the technology. what i do think as possible is that we will see certain restrictions on not the technology but the where you use it and how you use it so for instance to your concerns there are very different civilian casualty concerns with autonomous weapon systems in the land domain versus under siege warfare. whether it is a tank or a bus. it is not jones e but jealousy but that's really good ear. it's actually a computer recognizing the algorithms the torpedoes that are fired. there are mostly automated. if you get it wrapped there's no such thing as an underwater cruise ship. we are okay allowing autonomy and undersea warfare but maybe not within land warfare as an example. thank you for coming. i'm representing the men's lacrosse team. you mentioned earlier about finding the important information. how do you see that coming in the future

the news that ellsworth air force base had been selected was exciting news this year. ellsworth air force base has been a priority of mine since i first came to the senate and worked with a lot of dedicated people to prevent ellsworth from being closed by the brac commission in 2005. since then i've worked with the other members of the south dakota delegation and the air force and community leaders to make sure the base never again finds itself in the same position. among other things, our efforts resulted in the expansion of the powder river training complex into the largest training airspace in the continental united states. and it's undoubtedly partly thanks to this airspace that ellsworth was chosen as the first home for the b-21. ellsworth is going from strength to strength, and i'm honored to advocate for our national security and the airmen at ellsworth in the united states senate. mr. president, agriculture is the lifeblood of our economy in south dakota, and our farmers and ranchers are always at the top of my priority list here in the senate. thanks to natural

air force. back then we saw how power had air power had expanded during world war ii and we recognize the need for a single service to focus on the air domain. similarly, reliance on space based capability has grown, and today it has evolved into a domain of its own. maintaining american dominance is now the mission of the space force. the president will announce the official establishment later today when he signs this and we will provide additional details on the implementation and timeline. ndaa also authorizes a 3% increase in pay through our service members, the largest in a decade. this is a well-deserved pay raise for the men and women of the military who continue to make sacrifices for the nation. it will also help to recruit the country's best talent. additionally, there are a number of important provisions directed towards one of my top priorities, taking care of military families. the force and follow through on our commitment to take care of service members and their families. as i've said many times, continuing resolutions cause these are all very important for the force and follow through on our commitment to take care of service members and their families. as i

travis air force base, the major location for sending troops over and coming back, experienced what was called the largest masked rebellion in the history of the air force. a brawl disrupted operations for several days. most importantly what happened within vietnam itself or what i call a quasi-mutiny occurred. throughout the military there was widespread orders. i found some really interesting evidence years after i wrote soldiers in revolt. he casually mentioned that in the first cap division in 1970, there were 35 recorded incidents of combat refusal. --t means it's syrian off serious enough that it come to the books and was reported up the chain of command. did a little math. comment -- combat went on for several years. so it's certainly safe to say there were hundreds of acts of combat refusal which is really just a polite word for mutiny. so it's obvious the armed forces were not able to sustain combat at that level. the war makers tried to continue the bombing. the accelerated trooper thralls they intensified bombing thinking they could compensate for the lack of willing firepowe
