he led the department of defense on january 6. when the capitol building came under siege, the capitol police were badly outnumbered. the world looked to the department of defense to protect our government from the attack. yet dod did not authorize the deployment of d.c. national guard troops until nearly four hours after local officials first pled for help. even though we were under full-scale assault, dod hesitated until vice president pence, not president trump, gave the order to "clear the capitol." dod's explanations of its own actions have failed to address critical questions. why did military leader's place unusual restrictions on commanders on the ground? mr. miller says he first learned the mob had entered the capitol between 1:00 p.m. and 1:30 p.m. so why did the defense department wait until after 5:00 p.m. before sending the national guard to the capital. today's hearing at the end of our investigation, this committee with other committees will seek a full accounting of this attack. the inspector of the capitol, this ov

and 4:32 p.m., what were the internal deliberations of the department of defense to grant the request? mr. salesses: senator, there was discussion. secretary mccarthy and secretary of the army at the time asked, what was the national guard going to do? sec. mccarthy wanted to understand exactly how the national guard was going to be deployed come into the capitol? obviously, the environment, because they had heard that gunshots had been fired, explosives, it was a dynamic environment, so what he was trying to understand was what was the national guard going to do when they came up here? were they going to be asked to clear the building? were they going to be part of the outside perimeter? he was trying to understand that. he went as far as going to the metro police department at 4:10 p.m. to sit down with them and make a clear understanding of how they would be deployed. at 4:10, he went back to the acting secretary of defense and at 4:32 p.m., he deployed the national guard. sen. ossoff: was he aware while conducting this analysis that the nature of the request, related to the genera

in addition to working satellites, the department of defense is tracking 27000 pieces of space junk. junk poses huge risks to our assets in space. even the smallest pieces of orbital debris i've learned that even paint colors -- each collision creates even more debris so the problem that compounds on itself. more than just tracking and managing orbital debris, we must look for ways to prevent it in the first. place and for companies launching satellite and mega constellations to help with solutions to take out the trash and get rid of the junk. the innovation creating this problem is exciting but the government must take the lead on ssa, s tm and policy to prevent and remove orbital debris. the previous administration understood the importance of this a mission and how the changing nature of the spaceed industry necessitated moving some of this responsibility away from the department of defense. in 2018, the trump administration published space policy directive three to put the responsibility of fsa and sgm in the hands of the office of space commerce. congress appropriated funds to

the department of commerce was to assume all civil space situational awareness duties from the department of defense, nasa was to up date it's orbital debris mitigation standards, and the departments of commerce and transportation were to update licensing processes for satellite launches. 2021 appropriations, commerce committee doubled the budget of the office of space commerce. i use doubled the budget with a certain amount of significance, reflecting the urgency and critical nature of what we are talking about. we required a pilot program for space traffic management database. the work of ranking member wicker, who will be here, i am sure his staff is washing -- is watching, and chairwoman cantwell will be here as well, on the space act is commendable. it codifies commerce department policies, the center to advance scientific research in ssa as well. the space act passed the commerce committee twice had recently passed the full senate in the u.s. innovation competition act, usica, also called the endless frontier act. they clearly demonstrate we need swift action, and part of it immediately is to

to del valle -- developing comprehensive information over this time frame the department of -- frame. the department of defense is the largest department in the united states, spread across 160 countries. this will require substantial leadership at all levels to ensure changes that challenge us in culture, resources and time, to ensure they are effective and enduring. you have no intention of rushing to failure and risking the loss of faith from those who have trusted us and to lose trust from another generation of servicemembers. once we have a roadmap in place, our efforts will be consistently monitored by me and the deputies workforce council. the secretary and i are committed to ensuring sustained attention to drive these changes as effectively as expeditiously as possible. the president, secretary and i have prioritized countering sexual assault and sexual harassment, acting quickly and decisively, and have a plan for needed reforms. we will see to it that every corner of the department implements these changes in letter and in spirit. our servicemembers deserve no less and our combat effectiveness depend

, a multivendor, multiyear contract with us is the acting chief information officer of the department of defensee man who is overseeing this, john sherman. thank you for being with us today. >> it's a pleasure thank you for having me. >> so in terms of the shift in plan here from jedi to now the jwcc, to shift from single source to multivendor, what is that going to enable the dod to do in terms of fielding this new cloud capability >> it's really about enabling our joint war fighting across our combat and commands in the rest of the department of the industry has evolved in cloud and so has the department. we started jedi several years ago, the single cloud approach would have been right back then. we've moved beyond that. having more than one provider to provide multiple capabilities to our warfighters is critical for us to be able to succeed in our 21st century fight >> and you have explicitly called out amazon and microsoft as the two potential cloud providers that would meet the security criteria, the security clearances, the capabilities the dod needs currently. are there other names that

approximately 2:30 p.m., the secretary of the army met with the acting secretary of defense and other senior leaders of the defense department. after this meeting, the acting secretary of defense determined that all available forces of the d.c. national guard were required to reinforce the d.c. metropolitan police and the u.s. capitol police, and ordered the full mobilization of the d.c. national guard at 3:04 p.m. during this period, major general walker, the commanding officer of the d.c. national guard, made ready the d.c. national guard forces at the national guard armory for deployment to the capitol complex. after reviewing the d.c. national guard's mission and responsibilities to be performed at the capitol complex in support of the metropolitan police and capitol police, and conferring with the d.c. metropolitan police at their headquarters at 4:10 p.m., the secretary of the army received the acting secretary of defense's approval at 4:32 and ordered the d.c. national guard forces to depart the armory for the capitol complex. dod continued to deploy national guard forces through the evening to support the u.s. capito

how the department of defense could be brought into the 21st century. nd any changes that are made are tend to be made over the objection of the congress, the defense contractors and the permanent bureaucracy. they are comfortable with it the way it is. they've concluded that that's the way it ought to be and if a president gets elected and comes into office with different views, there tends to be natural opposition to it. i canceled for example the crusader program. i can't think of a worse name in this environment that we're in than the crusader but it was an enormous artillery piece that took two aircraft to move anywhere in the world. certainly not something that was appropriate for the 21st century and the asymmetric warfare that we're facing. and the opposition to it was just incredible, i mean the retired community in the army, the active duty community in the army, the civilian contractors, the congress. i'll give you an example just a data point, when i was secretary of defense in the 70s the defense authorization bill was 74 pages long. when i

kathleen hicks, deputy secretary of defense who will discuss the formation of the independent review commission and how the department of defense intends to implement those recommendations. second, we will hear from chair lynn rosenthal and members of the independent review commission so they can share their recommendations. the toll of sexual assault and sexual harassment has taken on our military is devastating and incalculable. we do know the numbers, but behind the numbers are lives destroyed and scarred. since 2010, the department of defense estimates that roughly 135,000 active duty service members, 65,400 women and 69,600 men have been sexually assaulted. and about 509,000 active duty service members, 223,000 women and 286,000 men, have experienced sexual harassment. one in four servicemen and one in sixteen servicemen experience sexual harassment. one in sixteen servicewomen and one in 143 servicemen experience sexual assault. service members who do not identify as hetero sexual encompass 12% of the active component force. accounted for 43% of all sexually assaulted service members in 2018. but these women an

it's the department of defense, the department of commerce. and i think that by continuing the national space council, the biden administration has made it clear that leadership in the space continues to be a priority. and they already have a number of initiatives going forward. the program to land the first woman on the moon of the mars exploration was perseverance and ingenuity. watching those videos and seeing not just the attention in the senate but across america really was inspiring and i think that is the endless frontier act innovation competition act is going to help foster that excitement in a lot of places. we will also have two missions to explore venous and the gateway for future deep space exploration. let me finish and say the success also requires that stem workforce i mentioned earlier not just colorado but across the country. we see a lot of muscle that hasn't been used and i think engaging young people in space will take adversity across the country. it's what inspires so many people to go into space and i think that they ha

and she has served our country very well in the department of defense, now in the congress of the united states. but her story is one that is the american dream many times over. i want to yield -- no stranger to any of you because he serves on so many committees this regard, judiciary, house administration and the committee on oversight, mr. jamie raskin. mr. raskin: thank you very much. the oversight committee has been conducting for several years an investigation into violent white supreme asy. the department of homeland security has declared violent domestic extremism the number one security threat in the country and saw that threat explode right in front of us on january 6. so the impeachment trial of donald trump determined i think by robust bipartisan, bicameral majorities who incited the violence on january 6. but we need to figure out who organized the violence on january 6, how did they organize it and why did they organize it, what were the purposes of the different critical actors who were present on that day? that's why this investigation is critical for every american link a

>> i wonder if we could put up the graphic of the folks that did go over to that -- to the department of defense. at the time it really seemed bizarre. you know, espers, espers fired, it's after the election. all of these folks are sent over, christopher miller, cash patel, there were staffers for devin nunes that you're on with him. anthony tata unable to get confirmed by mitch mcconnell's senate, and do you feel like we have the story of what they were up to over there. the category story or the thing they said publicly is donald trump is so intent of getting us out of afghanistan and being resisted by the brass that he has to get his people in so that in the last two or three weeks, they can be laser focused on u.s. withdrawal from afghanistan, which seemed preposterous at the time, but do you understand what they were doing there? >> i certainly don't have a full picture of what they were doing there. this is part of the broader tale of the trump administration. he brought in one group at the beginning. he churned through them, ate people up and spit them out when people wouldn't do, you kno

. >> reporter: these videos form a basis of the report being prepared by the department of defense.hey were released in april 2020. all were recorded by cameras on u.s. navy aircraft. this one was taken in 2015. it shows an object moving quickly above the clouds. but what exactly is it? we asked someone who saw it with his own eyes. gabe was a combat systems technician on "princeton." he had a mysterious encounter if 2004 off the west coast of the u.s. his ship was conducting training exercises with the aircraft carrier "nimitz." he saw several unidentified objects moving slowly across his radar screen. >> and then all of a sudden it would just disappear. i mean, just faster than you can even react. >> reporter: the "nimitz" launched a fighter jet to investigate. this is a video taken from the plane. the object was captured by an infrared camera which detects heat. >> the thing you need to notice is when you're looking at the actual object it is not -- you know, it doesn't have any heat coming off of it. how is it moving? it's got no propellers, no wing. >> reporter: in 2017 a forme

not only do we in the department of defense have a responsibility to these brave men and women and their families, so, too, do we have a responsibility to support the state department as it carries out the president's directive. and of course, even though our mission in afghanistan is not over, i would be remiss if i didn't take the opportunity to honor the american and allied troops that served bravely over the last two decades of war. and those who gave their lives there. we owe them and their families a debt that we can never repay. we know these are difficult times for them, and we will never forget all that they gave for their country. . where we are in afghanistan, let me pass it over to the chairman. governor o'malley: i appreciate your comments and your leadership. and good afternoon to everyone. i want to extend and thank you to all of you because freedom of speech is alive and well and freedom of press. last week, i traveled to norfolk to attend a ceremony recognizing new oprational capability and nato headquarters on u.s. soil which is part of a vital network of partnerships t

intelligence officials in the department of defense work every day to address the current and future threats facing the united states of america. on their behalf i wish the thank the members of this subcommittee for your continued support and partnership. the president's $15 billion defense budget request for fiscal year 2022 includes $23.3 billion for the military intelligence program. the department develops the military intelligence jamb or membership, mif to align between defense and national priorities while avoiding unintentional duplication. the mip reflects secretary austin's guidance for defense intelligence providing the necessary capabilities to support three key priorities. defending the nation, taking care of our people, and succeeding through teamwork. as this subcommittee well knows, the united states faces a period of rapid, profound, and dynamic change in the international landscape. the expansion the competitive space beyond traditional military domains and geographic boundaries increases and come pli kates. challenges require defense intelligence enter president to

do you know who was in touch with the department of defense? do you know why there was that delay in getting more law enforcement to the capitol as frantic calls were made for reenforcements? >> no. this was not a part of my investigation. it's my personal opinion that the executive branch was complicit in the planning and that the lead response that occurred in bringing in more federal assistance through the capitol that day. that's my own perception based on what i've seen and what i've heard and the fact that the former president is continuing to tell people this was not a riot, they meant no harm, it was like a picnic. he was complicit, because the last i heard from him, he told them to go to the capitol and raise hell. and many members of his party told them to go fight. that's the >> two quick questions for you here. when you talk about information and disinformation, before today's hearing you had members of the house republican leadership hold a press conference. they said that house speaker nancy pelosi is responsible for what happened

he is asking the department of defense and the pentagon to look into requiring a covid vaccine for militarysonnel, to add it to a list of mandatory vaccinations they have to have anyway. he noted that many u.s. military personnel are deployed to places where there are very low vaccination rates. that leads us to the vaccination inequality issue, which is another issue. certainly incentives and encouragement to americans wavering and who may think this is a political issue, which some seem to. they have to get this done. lauren: at the moment, how fast is covid spreading in the u.s.? correspondent: the figures are way down from the peaks we saw several months ago, but we are getting 63,000 cases a day, driven by the states where there is very low uptake in vaccinations. minnesota, arkansas, louisiana, florida -- sorry, missouri. it was the governor of missouri i was talking about earlier. these are areas where we are seeing these spikes with clusters of covid, and that is the main problem. that has to be bore in mind. not coincidentally, it is these states where we have governors being very

first big news out of the pentagon the department of defense is calling off the up to $10 billion jediact which was awarded to microsoft by the trump administration and had been the source of multiple protests, including a legal fight between the u.s. government and amazon for the better part of two years now the dod is announcing a new program. this is a new multiavenger contract that it's going to be looking for requests for proposals from microsoft and amazon expected to be the potential winners there in the coming months that program called joint war fighter cloud capability or jwcc, not quite as sexy as jedi. but mike santoli, the fact we are seeing these big heavy hitter tech names at new highs on a potential new government cloud competition says what about the market more broadly? >> well, i think the market has been trending in the direction of those types of stocks in the first place. we have apple up today it's not really in the running for something like this. i do think it comes as a fairly pragmatic solution here both because it was going to be caught up in some litigation

our goal is to close one town of a this individual who we announced the transfer of the department of defense. and the transfer of had been, had started moving through the process during the obama biden administration and was on pause for some period of time over the last 4 years. i don't have a timeline for you, as you know, there's a process. there are different layers of the process, but that remains our goal and we are considering all available avenues to responsibly transfer detainees. and of course, close guantanamo. now it is important to know that brock obama and of course his vice president at the time was joe biden. that administration had promised to close on time, obey on day one of that administration back in 2008. but what was quickly discovered was that it was pretty difficult to overcome a lot of the political and legal hurdles. and in fact, congress putting a lot of pushback as well, that's why we know this time around the, by the ministration, try to work with a little bit of less fanfare in order to avoid some of those same obstacles. experience when joe biden was back in t

they protested the department of defense. this is someone who's breaking some eggs on the way to space. that is just how he acts. if he feels he has been wronged, he will fight back. and it doesn't always help him because he comes across as brash and may be unreliable but in the end he typically does deliver and it really was the protest of a nasa contract in 2004. to develop the system to bring car go to the space station. he thought that wasn't fair. they saidfa you shouldn't protet the most important customer, potentially the most important customer. they forced nasa to withdraw and hold an open competition with the commercial cargo, the dragon spacecraft and then eventually it led to the commercial crew. it was one of the contracts that they had at the end of 2008 to save the company from bankruptcy. i can't be like this is the one with such terrible luck. i forgeter the term. they caught every rough car that they could have. >> they probably felt that way. the book is ultimately framed around the four launches, the three

didn't want to do that, wouldn't do it and then he started replacing the top leadership of the department of defense with trump loyalists, people who had no business doing the job they were doing. former white house staffer an aide to congress devin nunes, one who crafted a memo to discredit the origins of the investigation into trump's team contact with russia. one guy would not confirmed the same role he took over. and he called president obama a terrorist leader. that guy long with his other acolytes, and another guy who helped him invent a scandal of the masking of trump officials. so one acolyte, and one acolyte that the senate wouldn't confirm, all at the same time to take over the department of defense in the waiting days of the trump presidency. it all looked incredibly sketch at the time. you might remember the cover story was that they were all over there to get the u.s. out of that ghana stand. because they were so intent on that. the former military command of of nato said that the department of defense had been decapitated. in their new book, rocker and leoning say, esper expected that

what happened with the department of defense. what happened with the capitol police. there are a lot of unanswered questions and, basically, it's the select committee's responsibility to feel it out, the investigation of talking to witnesses and looking at material and coming up. with the report back to congress as to what we found and what we will recommend. >> are you prepared, sir, to also investigate and subpoena your colleagues like representatives mo brooks or paul gosar or even kevin mccarthy, if there was any reason for you to believe that they somehow contributed to what happened on january 6th? >> well, let me just say i am prepared to go wherever the facts lead the committee. we will hire the best professionals in this country to assist this committee and its work. we will make sure that to the extent we can, our deliberations will be bipartisan. we plan to get to the facts. we know right now a number of committees have held oversight hearings on what happened on january 6th. but most of us are troubled that how did we let that happen as some of you know, i

you also said that he's going to off the pentagon department of defense to look into the rules to mandates, all members of the on services to get vaccinated. but that's for now is simply the, the we'll look in to that issue. but, but i mean, the main issue here was, you were saying that this isn't part is out, this is about the signs. this is the vaccine that was developed by republican administration. it was distributed by ministration. he paid tribute to republican leaders. mitch mcconnell in the senate, for example, the governor, alabama. republicans who are urging that citizens to get vaccinated. but it's pretty clear that for a lot of republican republicans in, in the city of the south and west, they feel that this is a political issue. this is government overtures, they feel that they can make the most out of saying it's all government overreach. and in the meantime, half off is coverage per day at the moment. what kind of tickets and we should better my the, these figures away down from the peaks that we saw several months ago. but right now we're averaging depending on which estima

he's also asking the department of defense, the pentagon to look into requiring a cobra vaccine for, for military personnel to add it to a list of extra vaccinations that they often have to have anyway. and they actually, he noted that many us military personnel are deployed to places where there is very low now a very low vaccination rates. it was that leads us onto the whole vaccination inequality issue, which is another another issue. but yeah, so certainly incentives and encouragement to americans wavering and who may even think this is a political issue, which many certainly seem to that actually, you know, they really do have to just get this done and at the moment have fosters kevin spreading in the us its figures away down to the from the peaks that we saw several months ago, but now we're getting 6367000 cases a day driven though, by the states where there's very low low uptake in vaccination. so minnesota all console louisiana, florida. sorry, missouri, i think i meant to actually start with the governor of minnesota. i was talking to missouri. so these are areas where we're

s. department of defense to send us troops. i was able to confirm that with the pentagon today, the department of defense said that they have received the request and it redirected me to the state department for further questions. it seems highly unlikely that the u. s. is going to want to put troops in haiti 1st of all because of the violence there, it would take a very large, true presence. it would be expensive and keep in mind, president joe biden has just pulled us troops out of afghanistan. haiti is not a country that has a huge constituency in the united states that would push the president politically to take stronger steps and the u. s. has in the past, got involved with troops in haiti. important point out after the horrible earthquake in 2000 and tell us military really brushed tons of assets and much different situation though we're talking about peace keeping nation building, and that's something that doesn't go over well, politically in the united states. so the un security council has approved a 12 month extension

boeing, the biggest competitors in the aerospace industry.gg they protested nasa, sued the department of defense. so, this is someone who is breaking some eggs on the way to space and that is just sort of how he reacts. if he feels like he has been wronged, he will fight back and it doesn't always suit him or helpus him because he comes acrs as brash and may be unreliable and can anger potential customers. for some people in the government, it makes him uncomfortable to work with. but in the end he typically does deliver and it really was his protest of the nasa contract in 2004 that ultimately would save the company. this was a contract nasa had awarded to a company called kistler to develop the transportation system to bring car go to the international space station. he thought that wasn't fair. he said you shouldn't broadcast our most important customer. this isn't right. we've got to do it and he ended up being right because that protest basically forced them to withdraw, hold and open competition that was the commercial cargo, spacecraft and led to commercial crew. it was one of those contr

in fact senator levin works so hard on behalf of our military that he received the department of defense marriage for distinguished public. there is a suite of offices at the pentagon named after him. bthere is a naval destroyer currently being built in maine that will probably bear his name the uss carl m levin it washe so inspiring carl always believed our government could be a force for good. this belief was passed down to him from his parents who saw firsthand how the new deal rescued families from desperate poverty. a youngry carl levin admired harry s truman. who drove cross-country investigating defense contractors who were committing fraud and wasting billionsnk of dollars, i think truman himself would have been incredibly impressed with carl's leadership of the subcommittee on investigation. a formal civil rights attorney, carl levin relished the chance to cross-examine those he suspected of ripping off taxpayers and the public. his committee room was never a literal trier by fire but he certainly turned up the heat. unscrupulous executives, special interest or anybody who tried

so, department of defense telling me to, to look for further guidance from the state department, not making any sort of commitments other than to say we've gotten the request and asked the state department about it. and patty admits that, on certainty, they have already been sub substantial commitments i believe. so some help is already on the way its indication that the military portion of this is unlikely because when asked about it, the white house is immediately started talking about the things they are doing. what they are doing, they say, is sending members from the federal bureau investigations and the department of homeland security to haiti in the coming days to help with the investigation. then they went on to highlight the aid that they're giving to haiti, 75900000 in aid. then they want to talk about how president joe biden allowed the temper protective status to continue for haitians who came here after the earthquake. that's something his predecessor what to do away with. what we're seeing is when the u. s. is asked about, what are you going to do to for haiti. they usua

we're just not taking advantage of it in the department of defense. so we were motivated to come back and do that. we took that trip in april. we signed the jroc, the directive, the new strategic directives in july. so we're trying to move fast. we're trying to enable the department to move fast. but i'm running out of time. as our good friend frank goren said, four stars only two two things in common. number one, we're all circling the drain, which means we're about done. [laughter] and number two, we wul wish we could go back and start -- we all wish we could go back and start all over again. because man, it's a great ride. it's a great country. this country can go fast. it absolutely can go fast. we've seen it you see it in this country every day. we have to enable it again in the department of defense. i know that we will. so thank you very much for the opportunity. thank you for doing this, good luck at e.t.i., good luck with this whole concept. sadly it is desperately needed. i look forward to your success. i'll be glad to take some questions. [

but then i reached out to the pentagon, the department of defense just a few hours ago. and they responded saying yes, the haitian government has requested security and investigative assistance and we remain in regular contact with patient officials to discuss how the united states can assist for further information. we direct you to the state department. so the department of defense confirming that they ask has been made, but implying that this is going to be a diplomatic effort. so here's what we've heard from the white house so far that they are going to send f, b i. officials, federal bureau of investigation officials, department of homeland security officials to haiti in the coming days to help with the investigation. and then they're stressing other assistance. in fact, says 7.75.9000000 dollars and humanitarian assistance that they've dedicated to haiti. they also talked about the fact that president joe biden has extended the temporary protective status to the 10s of thousands of patients who are in this country something that the former president wanted to get r

>> well, first off, representative, it is a program that is designated by the department of defense, and record and we put it on the map as a thing, and now we have a number of areas that we are talking to them about which is involved in the meetings, and the d.o.d., and a greater awareness of what mars will do. if you have a jwic account, you can tap into mars and use it effectively. >> that sounds great. i yield back. >> thank you, representative sherrill. representative walsh. >> thank you. i wanted to continue with your thoughts on what title x authority, and what gaps you have to apply to again using the counter terrorism from the '90s to 2000s that you can or would like to apply to these, and i'm putting the air quotes around criminal groups, because from my understanding many of them are dual hatted with a number of the adversaries official government organizations. >> congressman, in terms of where we are at right now, vi all of the authorities that i need to be able to prosecute intelligence wise against these adversaries outside of the united states. that is where we obvious
