general milley, as you know, the asia pacific region has been in the news for the l.a. several months with north korean nuclear test and the chinese aggression in the spratleys. a casual observer might get the feeling that this is primarily a navy and marine corps issue. i would like you to articulate the army's role in deterring aggression in the region and also reassuring our allies. >> thanks, senator. i think the army plays a very, very important role in the pacific. we've got 75,000, almost 80,000, actually, army soldiers in the pacific command. so about 1/3 of the operational force of the deployable operational army is committed in the pacific. it does a lot of things that i know are worthwhile for deterring any potential outbreak of hostilities and shaping the environment, reassuring our allies. pacific pathways is a good example where army forces routinely three times a year exercise the strategic deployment capabilities to do that. most of the countries in asia, their militaries, i think, all but three or four of them are actually led by army officers. there's
