it is passive defense, active defense, and attack operation. it puts the discussion focused on the active defense dimension. -- in pasthlights ,ig missile-defense reviews aaron missile-defense -- the problem associated with ballistic and cruise missiles is not a major feature of defense plan. it has been a focus of american strategy. a number of key roles ,or aaron missile-defense contributing to adversary missile-defense by undermining any access to protect u.s. and conventional forces, required to respond promptly to aggression and ensure blunt adversary to halt orikes reverse military gains. forward, there are four areas the dod will focus on, that will require sustained attention in adapting its posture. this applies both to the u.s. joint force as well as what we do in our military alliances. there is a set capability on the cruise missile defense front where they said they want to focus because that was the main essentially the ser vice -- they are doing a good job to get back into the amd increase missile-defense game, and the army is bu

and weapons defense.as to the capabilities of our current systems against what was shot over the weekend, i'm just not prepared to talk because i don't have the data. i don't have the facts. >> who else? >> i'm michael mckeith from intrepid. as you step forward, you mentioned the present day into interoperability and finally into integrated. what challenges do you see in the implications of doing that especially when you have land forest command in, say, maritime? will those begin to change? >> certainly integration-- very well. it is hard enough when you talk us to us systems because each service currently has its own command-and-control and we are working towards getting those to share data and be able to leverage each other's data. that's where i would say we get to the interoperability part. integration is going to come when from an air defense per spec of the services go if not to a single air missile defense, joint air missile defense fire control network but at least one that has a seamless flow of

its missile defense or active defense. its passive defense. and its attack operations. for the purposes of this discussion, i'll focus a bit more on the active defense dimension. the mdr highlights a role for imd. now, in past big defense reviews, missile defense reviews and other types of reviews, certainly over the past 20 years or so, imd -- air and missile defense -- how do we think the problem set associated within ballistic and cruise missiles has not been a prominent feature of defense plans. hasn't been a focus of american strategy. but the mdr does call out a number of key roles for integrated air and missile defense. top level, right? contributes to deterrence of adversary missile attacks, threats, by undermining and complicating anti access or democrat strikes. detect conventional forces, bases in associated infrastructure. required to respond promptly to aggression and ensure the ability to blunt adversary missile strikes in order to maintain our ability to project power into a theater and flow forces into a key region to halt or reverse military gains. that

army air defense officer. colonel solis has served for over two decades and prior to his time he served as both the chief of staff and the g-3 at the 32nd army air and missile defense command. this panel brings unique and insights and perspectives to this discussion. we're going to offer them the opportunity to make owning comments for five to seven minutes and that will leave plenty of time for your questions. let me first turn the floor over to our first panelist. >> i didn't hear the earlier part of the discussion so i'm going to proceed as though there isn't too much redundancy here. hopefully that supposition proves to be true. what i'd like to do -- been asked to give a few remarks that set the d.o.d. policy framework with regard to aramis i will defense. i'm going to use the i part. i understand in the earlier discussion it was mostly the a and d piece. really the long-term objective is to sort of get to the integrated piece of air and missile defense and talk a little bit about how the missile defense

and we named defense of the us or defense of the allies? both. >> and this is not, trachtenberg said it but i think this, i could have said this in the obama administration. that, let me give you a for instance. south korea worried that if north korea had an icbm capability that could reach the us, that then the us would not come to south korea's defense. so there is several things that we did. to say no no no no not true. first you know, we went and took them to a side, and said okay, this is, yes it protects the us. but we are trying to make sure, one, that north korea, north korea cannot you hold the us at risk and that is why this missile defense. but also remember that the us has been at risk from far more ballistic missiles in its history with allies. then we ever will be with north korea. and still we extended deterrence to allies. think about russia. goodness. the soviet union had many more and we still were extending deterrence to our nato allies. the part about regional missile defense, no. four allies. and for us in regions, has

vivian mary with defense daily. i wanted to ask a question about the space force proposal that is included in the sass mark. so sask, made a few administrative changes to the original legislative proposal, namely removing the under-secretary for space position, and adding an assistant secretary of defense for space policy. so just curious, if you guys have spoken with sask about those, if you are open to those sorts of administrative changes, and what that might do for the space force proposal going forward. >> thank you, vivian for raising that. i think first of all, we're pleased that the sak con choosed it, one of the things for us, is the essential role of having the space force, or being able to operate in the domain and be able to do the type of planning that you really need that organizational structure to do. they made some changes. the answer that's the sort of thing we expect each committee to do. i don't believe they released all of the bill language so we will have to spend time when that comes out to wa

that the defense department wants to bring into the defense industrial base, and those firms desire that access to the chinese market. can you tell us what the department's message is for the companies about doing business in china? what do you have to say to those companies? awareness a level of for any u.s. company doing business in china and depending on the sector, where the vulnerabilities might be and anuld those countries have interest in being part of the united states defense industrial base, understand there may be potential trade-offs. starting from a position of awareness gives private companies who can make their own decisions the ability to balance the pros and cons. we are very concerned about being vulnerable and closing those gaps. it has been a focus of this department and at some point, there might be discreet decision points that companies have to make, but we start from a position of wanting to have a dialogue and spreading the awareness and making sure that we understand and the companies understand what those trade-offs may be in the future. >> [inaudible] about th

and our best defense is to ensure that our defense remain strong. that our people are ready that we invest appropriately, and we don't overlook the home game here in this hemisphere. with security cooperation being key. it is a small dollar value with a higher return on investment. >> would you agree? >> absolutely. i sometimes describe it as i think china is our chronic threat, and in some ways russia is our acute threat. we have to make sure we address them equally, as well as ensure stability around the world so we don't get distracted as we maintain that long-term focus. >> i also strongly agree. it just on the partnerships and alliances, the united states is unique in our history and ability to leverage this partnership. >> mr. gates? >> thank you mr. chairman. admiral, if the dod was prohibited from contracting with any persons that had been his business operations with the authority of venezuela that is not recognized as the legitimate government of what it is well up by the government of the united states, which capabilities would you expect

for homeland defense and global security. as i was mentioning we do not have to say this will probably be the last time you testified we've had a lot of folks coming before us for the last time but both of you as far as i know will be here a while. before we begin i want to start on a sad note that many of you served with alan he was a member of the armed services committee for a little over 12 years. she passed away this week very sadly. i came into congress in 1996 with alan and served -- ellen. she was a terrific person and a great member of this committee and she will be missed by many and i want to express my condolences and sympathies for her family and friends and mention what a great pleasure it was serving with her and appreciate her service to her district and our country. >> i would just add i think ellen reflect the best of the bipartisan traditions of this committee. she worked on both sides of the aisle especially on nuclear arms control issues. a wonderful, warm and caring person and i think we are all going to

>> the national defense strategy published in january 1 year ago, the national defense strategy recognized reemergence of great power of competition as the defining element of our time and guided the forces to shift to look at great power competition with respect to how we train, organize and equip the force and what we plan to do. in the case of the air force, that really means focusing on china as well as russia. with respect to russia, i was in warsaw 10 days ago for discussions with the polish government. they deeply want to strengthen their partnership with the u.s. one of the lines of effort guided by the national defense strategy is to deepen alliances and establish new partnerships, because it is the strategic strength of the u.s. neocolonial approach where they are seeking to intimidate and buy support throughout the world. the u.s. has countries that want to be allied to us because we have common values and those values benefit partners, not just the u.s. china seems to have a one-way approach than the u.s. does and as a result, we have allies. that is a strategic strength. deepe

s ministry of defense has distanced itself from the remarks made by the british major general claiming he spoke in the capacity of a military officer in the u.s. led coalition in iraq and syria it added that his remarks speak about us. garia not the overall geopolitical situation in the region major general great career was speaking about a very specific area in which the u.s. led operation inherent resolve operates he wasn't speaking about the wider geopolitical situation in the region but considering the specific area he's talking about is iraq and syria you'd think his words might hold some weight because for the last few decades every time the alliance fights together so you always see caution from the british side or the americans tend to be more gung ho they share the same intelligence and if they're to blaring contradictions it doesn't really look good for the coalition obviously one of them is lying or at least it seems to be that there is clear misinformation from one side. now paris has hosted a summit on countering online extremism in the wake of the crisis shootings in new

dollars on defense. the investment in defense capabilities in 2018 was five times higher. next year it will be more than $50 billion that we spend for defense. and germany pays for about 15% of nato's common budget, the second largest contributor behind the united states. it is the declared intention of the german government to increase its defense expenditure by 2025 to 1.5% of the gdp, and to remain a major troop contributor within the alliance. ladies and gentlemen, besides cash i would like to focus on two other important burden sharing of nato which is capabilities and commitments. let me start with capabilities. last year i briefed you on the modernization plans of the german navy and i would like to inform you of the progress. we stood up for the german maritime force headquarters in january to call for -- to follow -- sorry. to call for to follow command which will force c 2 capabilities. national headquarters that will offer 25 international bullets for those who would like to join us. relate the first of the second batch of another five more the week before which

six out of the top 10 companies are defense contractors. for instance, like lockheed martin, 84% of their entire revenue, than it has a wall street market cap of $90 billion, 84% of what they say on annual -- what they sell on an annual basis comes from federal agencies, specifically the department of defense. host:. host: our guest is with us until 10:00. if you would like to learn more about these companies that andive lobbying grants their efforts as well, adam andrzejewski. you can call us at 202-748-8000 for democrats, 202-748-8001 for republicans, independents 202-748-8002. you can also make your views known on twitter at c-span wj. had did you get involved in these efforts. guest: back in 2008, is senator coburn partnered with an illinois senator, barack obama on the left, to open the federal checkbook to transparency for the first time ever -- that was in 2006. that was the data set that we used to compile this report. host: you listed one of the health-care companies involved, mckesson, what do they do. guest: they are a pharmaceut

has been run, i think, as an intel entity but with full defense access. i would have some concern about the unique character of that organization changing, and wonder from either general dunford, or secretary what's the thought process on the national reconnaissance organization? >> senator, the integration in terms of the information and the data that we would share is to me the most vital piece that we have to protect. so, as we continue to invest in new capability, assume, for today, that the organizations remain separate. the ability to share and pass information timely, and effectively is what the space force really works to address. and so, when betty sapp was there, and now sue gordon, form ally or informally, on a technical basis we've remained aligned. we don't know how organizationally things will evolve in the future. but it's so important we build the pipes, if you will, so that there is real -- no realilate latency in delay how we share information. because in the future where artificial intelligence is so critical, it's getting the data to t

wilson: the national defense strategy published a year ago, the national defense strategy recognizeshe emergence of a great power competition as the defining element of our time, and it guided the forces to shift, to look at great power competition in respect to how we train and equip the force, and what we plan to do. in the case of the air force, it really means focusing on china, as well as on russia. with respect to russia, i was in warsaw for discussions with the polish government and they deeply want to strengthen their partnership with the united states of america. one of the lines of effort guided by the national defense strategy is to deepen our alliances and establish new partnerships. because it is a strategic strength of the united states. china has this new collinear list approach where they are best neocolonialist approach where they are seeking to buy support around the world. countries want to align with us because they have come on values, and those follies benefit partners and not that -- those values benefit partners and not just the united states. as a result, we

who work for our defense contractors, but here's the problem -- too many of our defense contractors, they don't just want a seat at the table. .hey want to own the table [crowd booing] that's aarren: and problem. right now, they have held this great revolving door -- they this great revolving door between the department of defense and the big contractors, and they want that to keep spinning. why? because it helps them with their and the latest on that is patrick shanahan. here is a guy -- take about this -- who has absolutely zero military experience, absolutely zero foreign-policy experience, inolutely zero experience government. what does he have experience in? improving the profitability of .lowing -- of boeing and donald trump has nominated him to be the secretary of defense. my view on this is nobody in america should be in a position of wondering when the secretary of defense makes a decision if that is a decision to improve the safety and security of the people of the united states or a decision to improve the profitability of boeing, so i think that we should reject his nomin

we are implementing the national defense strategy. we have talked about the national defense strategy several times here on the floor and how this, we have done a very good job i think in putting together this. most importantly, we are supporting our all-volunteer force. it happened when -- i may be the last person in the senate armed service committee who still believes in compulsory service. i also wonder what would have happened in my life if i hadn't been drafted. i remember coming back at christmas time, eisenhower was president. i was enrolled in the university of mexico. i looked in the mailbox and there was a card. it was from the president. i thought how nice of the president to remember me, christmas time. it was my draft notice. so that changed my plans. i often wonder where i would be today if i hadn't had that experience. so anyway, we are going to provide the armed forces with adequate funding, and i hope we can find a budget solution. we can't do it with the continuing resolution. we have asked all of our leaders in com

national defense strategy has three lines of effort. there is a focus on the first line of effort, increasing readiness. the second line of effort is strengthening alliances and partnerships. the three distinguished partners here on the stage, is a good example of strengthening alliances and partnerships, but the question is if you would advise the u.s. senior naval officer, chief naval officer, on how he could strengthen the alliances and partnerships with you. that is my question. rear adm. morley: emily, give -- the coin.in do not mix it up with the other coins.

are the nato allies carrying their fair share of the defense responsibilities for europe. the nato alliances made a commitment to try to all get to 2% of our gdp on defense, and some countries are making it, some aren't. but that continues pressure by the united states on allies to say there's no -- there's no free lunch. you've got to be pulling the wagon and not in the wagon, is a message that has come with the united states since the 1980's. >> host:. >> i would say the same thing. you can hold the same thoughts. i'm big on our alliances, i served on nato active in europe in 1990's. i think it's a strategic strength of ours and whether it's a formal allied treaty part other or a partner at the same time we expect everybody to ep contribute their fair share. and if everybody has the appropriate resources. you're only as strong as your weakest link. so, i think both views are compatible in many ways. >> neither of you have ever had a unt coulder part bring this up during this current administration that has never once come up. >> that-- >> i'm quite curious, the president

that's sheer speculation, said the defense. >> that's a theory, folks. there's no evidence of that. >> reporter: a theory that the defense said investigators didn't even try to corroborate with the eyewitnesses who'd found sandra. daughter lizz said after that night, investigators never came back to ask the family what they saw. >> reporter: never really spoke to your family again, is that right? >> yeah they never reached out to anybody. they could have asked them about you know the theory of the chair and the mat under the chair. you know, they could've asked them about the surroundings. >> reporter: and they would have heard how the family said they needed scissors to cut sandra free. her wrists so tightly bound. >> i have a big problem with them not following through and talkin' to witnesses who had personal knowledge. >> reporter: the prosecution said investigators followed the evidence and did a thorough job. it was now up to a harris county jury to decide sandra's fate. the first day of deliberations ended with no decision. >> reporter: when the j

i have yet to meet a chief of defense that doesn't want a higher top line in defense. typically browbeating about how much money is being spent in think countries is unsatisfying in itself. you bring up a very important point about nato. i mentioned earlier the nato ill mare strategy. in our system we have a strategy and an assessment process that helps us inform what investments from either capability or p capacity are necessary. nato has historically not had that. we now have three things that i think will be the, you know, the cardinal direction for us to go in nato. another is an accepted concept for nato operations. and the third will be an assessment process that helps us understand where we are relative to where we need to be. that will never be directed in nature, right? every country will make it's own decisions about defense investments. there are many domestic considerations that will come nate any decision about what you pie or don't buy. we can be informed as an alliance as to what the best mix of capabilities and capacities are. and my counter parts can g
