and the dod is seeing those, too. so it is starting to think about how do i make my bases more resilient to these impacts? and as the sea level rises it takes less and less of a storm to have that kind of a financial impact to their bases and an operational impact to their bases. and so they -- i don't know that the military needs to be convinced anymore. they are continuing -- their budget reflects this. their policies and their guidance reflects this already. and they've just taken this into account as they move forward. >> john, tysons corner, a democrat. >> caller: yes, good morning. >> good morning. >> caller: this is all a hoax. i work for the department of defense. i have been for 20 years now. i was at the pentagon. i was in virginia. i was at various installations all over the country. bad weather is going to happen in the florida panhandle and on the east coast and north carolina periodically. it's just going to happen. it's been that way for centuries. it's not going to stop because we're using electric car

dod is starting to prepare. whether it involves getting basesto ready to deal with flooding or more extreme weather events, if it means theyes are making investments in the right places. one example is strategic command exporters have lots of buildings damaged over $10 billion worth of damage but they just built a strategic command headquarters on a hill so that is just smart planning. some of this is how do you take the money you are already going to spend and spend it in such a way you don't lose your investment. >>host: pennsylvania democratic line. >>caller: i have a question. i am a nurse. and when i study the body the body produces co2. and sent it to the lungs. the lungs transform that into oxygen. how did the lungs take co2 and transform that into oxygen? thank you for taking my call. >> innovation in science is part of the formula we are dealing with going forward i am talking problems the military sees today but obviously if youg go to stop that from happening to have cleaner emissions with the project

i was at dod 10 years ago. we were trying to get our gulf partners to coordinate more effectively on missile defense and maritime security and counter terrorism and all these things. we're still basically trying to do that. i would be interested to get your take on -- we now have this middle east strategic alliance. that's the latest initiative, but it's another effort like similar efforts that have been tried in the past. i'm curious to get your take on how well that is going, what you guys are trying to do, and what kind of success you think you can have. >> yeah, to your point, this isn't the first time it's been tried. there's a reason behind it because it's important. the middle east strategic alliance -- from our perspective, from the u.s. perspective, we want this to be a holistic agreement. by that i mean we want an economic part, we want an energy part, we want a political part, we want a security part. i fully recognize there's challenges in many of those. if you start off with the political part, we

>> well, i think that if i had to put it into a couple of categories climate change for how the dod does its job today, what are the flooding issues that have operational impacts, what are the extreme weatherem impacts, right now the largest impact that we have seen from climate change are when you get stronger hurricanes or wetter hurricanes or abnormal weather in such a way that it completes kicks it offline for a number of days, that has serious readiness implications an cost implications. >> give us an example. >> last fall hurricane michael, incredibly strong hurricane and essentially overstatement but they are coming back online now but it did over $3 billion worth of damage, still that were some that were not in condition to fly and those were advantage of base and the point is that kind of a story when we see more and more of these with more and more impact, that has more implications, that has examples, north carolina took damage from hurricane florence, 3 billion plus worth of damage. record floods in missouri river and that was another billion. >> how long did it take for the

from the dod perspective dod activities will continue forward. we find our significant source of security and stability in those countries. in the region at large. >> is the biggest point i want to make. there are other tools in our toolbox. other than the military. in fact we are already confronting visit with a request for more cooperation around venezuela. whereas the cut off our state department you asid remains in place. i just frankly do not get this administrations complete and total blind spot towards the notion that international affairs involves more than just the military. that u.s. id and diplomatic cutting them off and focusing only on the military same in central america. he won't give you any more money. just encourages more people to flow forward. that is more a message for you to deliver back to the people at the white house than anything you need to answer. it is contributing to the problem. the irony for me is when the president started talking about there being an emergency at the border. there wasn't. now there is. and i thin

get into the maximum pressure campaign by the state department but i'd would start with the way the dodapproaches the problem which is largely. [inaudible] as aci person i was super impressed with how much the military plans for everything and iran is no exception. there are plans to do essentially everything defend allies from getting them for weapons and obviously responding to any pressure. that is continuous and the general spent time on that in general mckenzie for placement on the central command is also dedicated to that. the next one i would say is i know we'll get into mesa, middle east strategic alliance, essentially requires us to build up our partnerships and i will say most of the discussion on that our posture we have bases throughout the middle east and we are on basis with key allies that the middle east that limits the iranian freedom of movement and projects the key straits and key chokepoints of a maritime trade and very important in that regard and i know we get one question so i will answer one of them we are committed to the nds. nds does prioritize and any strateg

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 buying iron and cruiseg air missile defenses from a former government. areeflects the fact that we going to rapidly move in that direction and we are looking at other sources. capacity in the air and arena. it's a question about the right balance between bmd and cmd. the department is looking at its force structure, sufficiency with regards to regional bmd in of -- adversaries have a large missile strike posture. that camen, i think up earlier. defenseistic missile and cruise missile defense on a technical level are sufficiently synchronized in order to be operationally effective against combined ballistic missile and cruise missile strik

doctor, quickly what screening more intensely from dod? any comments on that? 's. >> with dod? . >> yes. >> yes we have an executive order this past year from an earlier wine and this executive order calls for increased screening from dod so when the troops are leaving active duty they have eyes on a mental provider and those are immediately pushed over onto the v.a. side so there is an accurate view on the mental health status before they leave active duty. >> so i will add a little bit to that. this is absolutely correct but in that first executive orde order, the ability for us to interact with a service member one year before they leave active duty is absolutely essential. and the authorities you granted us to allow us to see servicemembers after they come off active duty is a risk reduction. i would ask the committee to take a deep look at the work that has been done since the late 19 nineties that is actually integrated with resiliency and relationship -based training and suicide awareness amongst all active duty and reserve members of the air force. the air force has not

their people, why don't they give their money to go and make sure the people get that money, all, but i dod

the dod actively supports the mission on the border because border security is a core element of national security. the immigration crisis on the southwest border poses significant national security and humanitarian challenges for the nation and threatens to overwhelm the department of homeland security. in the past six months over 430,000 undocumented aliens have been apprehended on the southwest border. it already surpasses the total number of aliens apprehended in the entire fiscal year of 2018. last month alone over 92,000 undocumented aliens were apprehended on the border. dhs will continue to support in the foreseeable future until they have the necessary resources and tools to properly exercise their responsibilities. each of these missions have greatly contributed to homeland defense that is pivotal to enhancing assurance posture, improving our ability to respond should deterrence fail and strengthening our ability to deter or defeat potential adversaries that threaten our way of life. thank you again and i look forward to your questions. >> thank you. >> thank you for the opportu

currently, the dod has statutory authority for collision assessment and notification. however, the number of sensors they use is not sufficient to agree needs. these sensors can be affected by whether, they only take periodic snapshots of the position of objects in space, hours and sometimes even days go by without updates to locations. furthermore, we cannot rely under reliably tracked debris with centimeters alas. for all satellites, civil, commercial and national security. many of the new proposed commercial activities also include very dynamic operations. such as rendezvous, satellite servicing and debris removal. many emerging respect are also highly dynamic. the ability to provide persistent custody of space objects is urgently needed for both the national security emissions and also for future civil space traffic management oversight authority. one solution is to incorporate a greater number of sensors, potentially from commercial companies and private entities to help fill the data gaps. however, commercial space the beta is still in the industry. the air force

so, what kind of coordination efforts are taking place between the dod, the va, and is the dod being cooperative in assisting the va? to reach a veteran and that 6- 12 month period prior to getting out of active duty? >> the answer is yes, the dod is a great partner in this process. we like to have more timewe to spend with the vetera because the more time we spend with the veteran the more likely they are to engage with us after they get of service. secondly, are we effectively outreaching in that year after they get off of active duty, you have funded us very graciously and will spend about $200 million this year. in outreach efforts of various types, everything from electronic billboards to websites in which we are reaching out to even directly links with 500,000 letters in december of last year and we were able to capture how well over 1000 veterans could come in and cs but this depends on the individual and most importantly depends on when the individual is really open to hearing our message. there's no doubt that we are the most integrated healthcare system when it comes to men

the dod has assessed with the unlimited support we are providing today. that said, there can be no arguing after years of conflict yemen is now in the grip of the world's worst humanitarian crisis and in spite of fact many members of the body including the presidingncdi officer have gone way past limits to try to do things that would help the humanitarian crisis ago just a simple delivery of humanitarian matters such as food are frustrated with things that are logistically avshould be very easy. i know the presiding officer has been very active and successful in that regard for which she should be commended. 80 percent of the yemeni population are in need of assistance and 15.9 million people more than half of the country's population is food insecure. make no mistake and then to be committed to do everything in our power with a country that has been years ravaged by the fighting with lasting peace that can only be achieved through a political settlement proctored by the un leading peace talks for achieving peace in yemen at a critical juncture right now

we are also able to have a unique opportunity to build infrastructure on dod land. is aamp readiness center commercial building that houses u.s. coast guard and air national guard for alaska. on joint build richardson. if you can build on dod land, you can pretty much build on any federal or state land. we have great experience. -- theack to cmts picture probably says more about the arctic during the winter. when you look at this picture, this is our road. it is frozen. [laughter] out,e some workers walked two years ago, they said i walked on it, -- only in alaska, can you walk on water.

in fact the dod has assessed that it would have no impact on the limited support we are currently providing today. that said, there can be no argument after years of conflict yet man is telling the grips of the world's worst humanitarian crisis in tibet is in spite of the fact many members of the body including the presiding officer have gone way past the limits to try to do things that would help that humanitarian crisis. just a simple delivery of humanitarian matters such as proved in the country have been frustrated by things that are logistically very easy but haven't been and i know the officer has been active in that regard and hasd been successful for which he should be commended. an estimated 24 million vp% of the population are in need of assistance for 15.9 million remained severely food insecure. a solution to the conflict mustc be found. make no mistake most are committed to doing everything in our power to restore peace inoi the country that's been ravaged by years of proxy war. i believe lasting peace can only be achieved in a political settlement brokered by the un. the un le

reports in the initial reports of march 1969, the dod got into the action and had its own study. rendered,eport was the military was more or less givenonce the orders were to start its process. is very different from what most people understand. i would note a couple of things regarding -- to follow up on the point that bob was leaking. in 1965, before the buildup began, dod did a study of the draft and one of the recommendations they were thinking about was an all-volunteer force. that study was put on the shelf because of the buildup in october,n 1968, referring to the discipline problems, the man who was the assistant secretary of defense initiated a study on his own on .ow to reduce or eliminate he stayed and provided a study to laird. was proactive, particularly after the election of nixon. he knew the handwriting was on the wall and he wanted to prepare the army for the future and he is not what they are made be pushed in certain directions. you want to find way to approach the problem without ending the draft. beth: one thing we learned by going to the records is there and

and pentagon, i work for dod and for pentagon as well and for him to say that it's a hoax or anything like that, we can all have our political views but there's a lot of science to back up the fact that climate change is a real thing and impacts the military and the military is taking it very seriously whether or not -- >> we will leave the last few minutes of discussion taking you live on c-span2 to the international center in washington, d.c., discussion about to get underway on modernizing the armed forces, we will be hearing -- we will be hearing from air force secretary heather wilson and army secretary mark esfer, the introduction just getting underway. >> joining us in just a moment. just a word of introduction about the series, this is part of diplomatic insight series that is part of our center for diplomatic engagement where we try to provide a bridge.

even dod, tsa, more ice to the border. he's done everything he can.an immigration bill on the take. democratic leadership in congress hasn't offered up one idea. it's like they're sitting on the sidelines watching the parade go by. they have not offered up one thing to this administration. but they'll argue and blame the border patrol deaths to children. i said months ago, more children will die because congress is not acting to close the loop holes that entice these people to make the journey. >> harris: i know you have, tom. when people hear you say that, what more can we do? you have 2,000 to 4,000 job openings, as much as 7,000 in the border patrol. they cannot detain people and the situation gets worse. democrats have cover. they got it from a former secretary under barack obama and dhs, jeh johnson when he was echoing weeks ago the same thing that you're talking about. >> i respect jeh johnson. i worked with him in the last surge in 2014 and 15. we built family detention center. we built facilities to hold facility, is so-called cages that the d

i continue to be worried as i am in every part of dod, frankly. it's not unique to this. that we are very incremental in our approach and that we are facing challenges that really are going to require us to be transformational. that's a lot more r & d, disruption of current concepts of how we operate. and i think there's an acknowledgment of that, but i'm not seeing a huge amount of forward momentum here. it's not disproportionately here. it's probably more than anything reflective of the over all position we find ourselves in with regard specifically to russia and china. i think the emphasis on joint responsibility was important to have, obviously, in the report. i think that's something the army is going to have to -- and the testifidefense department i to have to hold the army accountable for delivering on behalf of the joint force and, of course, in combined environments where it's appropriate to make sure that those enabling capabilities are there. and then the last thing i'll say is the durability of this commitment. i think that's something -- any time you're worki

look at dod, we've got thousands of dod troops on the southern border. that we can move dod assets to help with the border crisis but can't use the budget? that doesn't make sense. personnel is money. i think the president will overcome this in a higher court. >> you say ultimately the president will win but is the fact that this is tied up -- it's not just this case, there are others. this is exacerbating the problem on the border, the courts taking too long to get a decision. >> absolutely. look, i think we can all agree when he first declared a national emergency, the left went crazy, but you've been down there many times. i think we can agree as a maition. i think most people understand that we have a national crisis on the border. congress has not done anything. the president has declared a national emergency. i mean he's done everything he can to address this and he will not stop. this lawsuit is not going to stop him. congress hasn't offered up one thing to solve this border crisis. you know what, he ought to start an investigation in his own back

we have a brand new state of the art facility, dod, and va health clinic there. veterans are going and receiving the proper service. but you have to realize that there are areas in this country where they don't have access to these types of facilities, so they need to go to private doctors. the thing we have to be careful of is we don't want to complete completely outsource all of the services the va has to private care. we want to make sure there is the va, that they are doing their job, and we continue the proper oversight. with the president's remarks last night, i have to have say the one area we did see bipartisanship and a willingness by the administration to work with congress was when it came to our veterans. not only the clear choice act, we made it easier in the appeals process, when it came to issues with being denied veterans benefits. we made it easier to hire and, yes, fire va employees who weren't doing their job. we also passed the global war on terrorism memorial bill put forward by a member of the four-country caucus, mike gallagher, basically h

agencythere is an entire in the pentagon called the dod pow mia county agency. they employ hundreds of experts, forensic scientists, anthropologists and they're working all around the world to try to identify soldiers from every conflict where we still have missing soldiers, world war ii, korea, vietnam. it is a regular occurrence. you can go on their website and find their releases on a weekly basis of the remains of soldiers who have been identified. they are given the same treatment a soldier killed in iraq or afghanistan. i've been to many funerals where the old guard is performing a funeral for a soldier killed in .orld war ii, korea, vietnam sometimes, those funerals are small. they do not have any relatives. someone killed in world war ii, 18 years old, did not have a wife or children -- in some ways those funerals are as much for us, the living, as they are to honor those who died. we want to commemorate their service and lay them to rest on their own soil. all those young soldiers are looking at the way we honor our fallen heroes from 70 years ago. they

dod asked that the white house be the ones to release the statement.unusual coming from the national security adviser, but also, you wouldn't necessarily want, i don't think, the president himself to announce a statement like this, there movement of an aircraft carrier. it makes sense it would be somebody lower than him. if you're in the white house, the only one who makes sense after that would be the national skurd adviser. >> while unusual, you do think this makes sense. >> i frankly, if it had been me, i think it would have been just fine having the statement come out of the pentagon. i'm not sure that i agree with the logic that it had to come from the white house, but that decision having been made, i understand why it would come from bolton rather than president trump specifically. >> so and then this additional fact of like the fact that bolton didn't offer details about what the intel was and pompeo then with reporters refusing to offer any detail on what actions on the part of iran are kind of leading to this move. what do you make of that? s

how many records are being merged in the va and dod systems? and if we were to cover every single american under a single- payer id system, how many records would that be? >> i don't have the exact number of records at the va that are being merged, but if we were covering the entire united states, it would be the population. substantially more . i have the number. it is about 18 million records is what the va and dod is doing, it is my understanding that since 2011 the va and dod has been attempting to merge their electronic health records with a 10 year estimated cost of 16.1 billion dollars. what are some of the challenges a national standardized i.t. system would face? >> i think the key one is interoperability. there has been an attempt over the last several years to have more providers move to having more electronic medical records. but they've urged in different directions when they did that. at the moment they are having real problems having systems talk to each other. >> i certainly agree with that. interoperability rarely thought about

i assume it's the top priority at the dod. as acting secretary of defense how are you working together with secretary wilke to spread the suicide presentation task force and do you know any updateds for us? >> as for the task force, i don't have any specific updates for the fantastic force itself. the integration of the department that we transition people between the dod, and the va is critical. that's a high-priority area for secretary wilke and ourselves. the collaboration is vital. but also the work we do in the department. in a second i will ask chairman dunford just to provide a perspective of what's changed over his career because i think he's got some unique insights. but in the department, we've fundamentally deployed forward more mental health professionals we also know that these issues aren't just about mental health. we also know these issues are not just about mental health but it is about being able to get support for when people have relationship problems, or financial issues. so we've really expanded our -- ho
