general alexander, if you had some thoughts about that, it would be helpful, too. thank you. >> sir, the activities that go on at stratcom are unique activities. we perform those activities, particularly the command and control that we have of our strategic forces, the planning that we do for our strategic forces, the intelligence support that's required behind our continuing need for strategic level deterrence and being able to command and control forces under high stress. all of those really come together at stratcom headquarters. the demand that today's systems place on that headquarters building have far outpaced the ability of the building to keep up. not only do we have vulnerabilities because of the cyber concerns that we've expressed earlier, but we have physical plant vulnerabilities there. you're well aware of some of the failures that we've had, catastrophic failures in the building systems themselves that have threatened to take that one of a kind location and really make it inoperable for months. we barely averted that kind of a catastrophe a year ago
