but, dod, it goes to your point, dod constantly says we need more research.wayswant more research. i am very concerned about the idea that we are going to put off treatment. let me put the question more specifically to you. do you think we know enough now about the risks of blast overpressure to service member's health to start taking action now? >> in short. absolutely, yes. >> all right. >> so we do know enough. there are a number of steps that the dod can take to get more data and to understand it over time but more importantly, a number of stepcan take right now in terms of treatment. i talked long enough. i will come back to you later on this. senator scott? >> first, i can not imagine, i can not imagine losing you for your son's service. i just hope, as a result sohappens out of it, somebody, it prevents something else from happening. can you explain, can you explain, the blast, what does it do to the brain? let's say i shoot a shotgun or any of this stuff. what does it do? how does it impact my brain? >> well, i think to my colleagues good point, perfe

but, dod, it goes to your point, dod constantly says we need more research. i am a data nerd, i always want more research. i am very concerned about the idea that we are going to put off treatment. let me put the question more specifically to you. do you think we know enough now about the risks of blast overpressure service member's health to start taking action now? >> in short. absolutely, yes. >> all right. >> so we do know enough. there are a number of steps that the could take it to help us get more data so we can understand this over time. but more important a treatment. i will come back to it later on this. senator scott? >> first of all i can't imagine losing one. thank you for your service your son's service i hope as a result prevent something else wrapping can you explain what to do to the brain? let's take a go shoot a shotgun each one of them how does it impact my brain? >> i think to my colleagues, good point too. perfection is the enemy at the good. you can criticize all of the models but we know these concussion industries do a number things t

this would be a very good thing to ask a dod leadership. secondly, we are repeatedly across even programs, military services, agencies, not allowing reciprocal rights for ato. the same software is being reauthorized again and again. those are the two key things that i think you should push on. absolutely not looking at discrete, repetitive, approvals. right now come in fact, there is only a requirement to approve 12 systems a year, which given the fact that most of our systems went on hardware, software and data is frightening. >> dr. murray. >> i completely agree. we think about continuous ato in particular. we need to be able to stay, this software needs to be updated. the longer we wait by not giving them the code they need to do. how do we get to the point where we are an industry, right? if a zero day comes out, some attack on my cell phone, there will be an update in the next day or two, right? they've already figured out, it's going to satisfies our own . we need to find what that is. i think you should be asking on every program, wh

dod reports progress but appears they have let to establish.ell-defined software developer including service members will out dod wto retain to design, build software systems. finally, an area that is completely different when we did the study is the role of artificial intelligence and military systems. the implications of ai will be profound across all areas of society. th changing so rapidly it's impossible to predict how ai is working progress. ai is poised to revolutionize the way we right, test and deploy. already riding code based on the speed development. in the future, it will be integral. these developments will democratize development and ways to do it drastically reduced time. at the same time, software is using for military systems is critical to fail so we must find ways to harness those. dod must stay on top of these developments and take advantage of the current u.s. being development. congress working with dod plays an essential role in breaking us out of the cycle. thank you for your attention and i look forward to the session.

the dod needs technical leaders driven by mission.s not meet■ armst can attrat if given the right tools using things like term appointments and giving these peoplee autonomy. thank you. >> thank you doctor patsy. we will move into questioning. i will open operate you will hit on that. i hate to say it seems -- mike you guys should not leave i'm going to talk to you guys if you want to hang out. yes, totally cool sit back down. the authority operates it seems like it's improper medium fore. software innovation into the departments. software is updated every half second of every minutef hour of every day. it moves so fluidly. for the past 40 years the authority operates seem to be in down. i'll start with you ladies first. what's the i do know and to report we don't never read. what is the actual fix for the pr■oblem? this is the forward lean in front of our adversaries. the system is failing its self. >> the challenge is the need for speed. and i believe there are two things that wele need to do. one, moved to continuous ato. aa lot di

weai so the dod can make better decisions faster from the boardroom to the battlefield.sustainable change at scale by leading and overseeing mostly through policy guidance and oversight but also actively delivering capabilities across the full range of the hierarchy of need. that's how we analyze what needs to get done when. this enables at both speed and scale. speed by delivering products directly to the end user quickly, were fhters and running the business of the dod and scale by delivering platform services to allow builders at the edge, the owners of the problem to solve their problems. we are a centralized organization. if our job is to build all the ai in the department to scale, we will build smaller solutions and we are tackling very large individual solutions. we can talk about harbinger and other things we been working on. that's really important for centralized work of the expertise to drive those issues. it's also really important to rate the tools, policies and best practices of the folks at the edge can actually deliver value when they need that value. th

and running the business of the dod. think about it this way.ob is to build all of the air department, that does not scale. we will build monday and tuesday solutions. it is really the tools and policies and best practices. they need that ai. they are the ones that understand the problem. we have been tackling both of these fronts. the second allows for sustainability. we do this through the eye -- through the hierarchy of needs. you have to get the data right. the foda we have the right data? it is understandable. can people use that data? think]< data and apps. the next level above that is analytics and metrics. spent a greater our time this year getting people to move from effort based metrics to outcome based metrics. that has allowed for the running of the department. on the top of that is ai. you measure the past to protect the future. this hierarchy of needs combined with the agile approach is how we're going to drive this ge to our virtuous cycle. what do i mean by an edge approach? this is what is continuing to drive. we deliver by lear

>> initiatives we described underway at dod. recognition warfare is changing or has the potential to change with new technology to make sure we are staying on the cutting edge not just the basic technologies themselves but integrating them into our institutions. having the right personnel to train and operate them and really across all the dod enterprises. that's really how we should understand what we need to do in that pillar. >> doocy the option is focus on a particular part like logistics or targeting or is it focused on all parts? >> i would say it's probably focus on all parts there might be more emphasis to asymmetric approaches. not just kill the system as we go towards a more integrated command and control architecture for the u.s. and china is chinag in those same terms there is is multi- domain precision warfare. it is really across the chain i would say. >> my last question is for mr. parker. as commissioner wessel mentioned we are still in learning mode when it comes to quantum technology. agreed can be used to cond

whatever the dod and how it applies marks remarkable.time to be an ai expert. the■,■pvremarkable in the last e years but if you go back 15 years it has been amazing as well. i n' if the science supports the marketing. i think one is to -- skeptical is the wrong word. y bullish on this technology. i think it is important to be skeptical about or to verify -- trust but verify. -- verify the claims of the marketing. that is fine. number two, i think it is extremely important to not as a monolithic technology which is how it is sold. get this thing. if we have it, we win and if they have it, we lose. i think it is fundamental he flawed. if we have it, it doesn't every problem we want solved will be solved. if they have it, it doesn't mean every fear that we have will come to pass. we always have to think about it basis as we always have with any technology. the reassurances -- it is just technology, it wl woases. it won't work and other use cases. we have to have quality data and evaluation metrics to be able to say it is working that were n

what the dod is saying, they are now developing special sensor kits that they call gremlins to send out whenever new ufo hot spots are reported lester. >> continues to fascinate. gadi, thank you. >>> coming up, another mystery, tiny unicorns springing up all over one city we investigate next. >>> well, finally we can't go without telling you about the colorful creatures spreading joy in one american city. emilie ikeda on the mystery of the unicorns. >> reporter: it's a typical blue sky day here in providence, rhode island, well, at first glance look closer, near the ledge, this is where betha woods stumbled upon her first unicorn. >> right here. >> reporter: standing not even two inches tall, it was the mythic beast's chrome sheen that caught betha's eye. >> what was it like when you first stumbled upon a unicorn? >> it's such an unexpected surprise. >> reporter: recently these figurines have been mysteriously appearing all over providence, on sidewalks, windowsills, planters, stirring up a citywide scavenger hunt. >> are you going to try to find these? yeah >> it's kind of like a littl

it was important to have a flexible complex, both at nnsa side and dod side. so as things are determined to be needed down the road. we have a complex that can actually deliver something. so that's people, it's the materials, it's the walls and everything, you know, across the board. it's the security systems, it's the cyber systems, so that we can actually improve. so, a couple of the things that we clearly thought fell into that category are really looking at capabilities. nuclear capabilities for the asia pacific and that's where i mention we did not get into this sort of death spiral of debating this, but what we did recognize is that there are capabilities that are needed for the asia pacific theater and we listed characteristics, how the defense department goes about meeting those capabilities, those what we thought were the-- these requirements, are not obviously, but what we thought was needed, is really part of that analytic work that need to be -- that needs to be done by the administration. and as we think about numbers and additional capabilities,

dod is one of them. i hope you will understand dod contributions could be improved. havei've challenges further south. therowing chinese threats in central america and south america. continues uses well-known playbook and the self calm theater. it aggressively uses predatory economic practices to influence government. simultaneously it sets conditions to enhance military presence. break great power competition is happening right here in the americas we cannot ignore underscore the urgency beijing is making latin america dependent for communicationsomething they tried to do in our country the example of china's economic influence campaign. the ccp military influence in cuba where we discovered a large chinese intelligence collection center. general richardson, i look forward to hearing how these practices directly impact the stability of our region but wish understand the threat they pose to our national security. how real is it? how important is it? there are other other malign influence in this theater recently asserted a provocative extraterritorial claim of sovere

and really across all the dod enterprise. so i think that really how we should understand what we need to do in that pillar. >> and do you see the adoption of military ai as focused on the particular part of the kill chain, like logistics, targeting, or is it focused on all parts? >> i would say it is probably focused on all parts, but there might be more emphasis on trying to, you know, to have the approaches, so we can, you know, not just have to kill the system sort to speak, but to be able to disable their operation. increasingly as we would go towards a more integrated commanding control architecture like for the u.s. china is thinking in those same terms. their term is multi-domain precision iwarfare verses the precision warfare. so it is really across the kill chain i would say. >> my last question is for mr. parker. as commissioner mentioned, we are still in learning mode when it comes to technology. can it be used to conduct the underground mapping? sub surface is an area that the u.s. dod acknowledges and that they

general guillot, , i remain concerned about the dod's posture, and that dod's us not have a plan to addressssile-defense needs of hawaii. it's an issue i have brought up with just about anybody who comes to testify from the dod. in in the 2024 ndaa directs a n or the missile defense of the wife which indopacom is leading. general, your predecessor tony last year that northcom is responsible for protecting hawaii against ballistic missile threats from north korea but, of course, we also need to conce threats, cruise missiles and hypersonics. have you been coordinating with indopacom regarding the development of the missile-defense have. we work very closely with indopacom on all defense of our entire homeland. i also agree with the characterization that general vanherck did on our specific role in that. >> so i have some concerns that there are so many different commands involved in the missile-defense of hawaii. missile-defense in general. ave you. we have, indopacom, space come, stratcom, , missile-defense agency. you have somesq concesl of yourd come up with the kind of plant that we need

last year the department released a now strategy aligned budget in dod history. it allocated critical resources consistent with our defense priorities, as2022 national defy and the president's national security strategy. we buckled down and did our homework. our primary goal was to fortify emerging and enduring threats to our nation and the international order as we know it. first and foremost, the f.y. '24 budget treats our pacing challenge, the people's republic of china, with the urgency it requires, directing resources to sustain and strengthen u.s. deterrence. ■í congress' inability to pass the f.y. 2024 budget holding back. -needed funding hinders our ability to execute that■ the department has no way around th joint force, one aimed at deterring and, if called upon, defeating foreseeable and future threats. and it makes a series of investments inul and valuable asset, our people, and ensuring that we can recruit, retain, train, and equip them so that they remain resilient, ready, and focused on fulfilling their mission. congress's inability to pass the f.y

i would love to see that pilot program expanded to the navy and other dod. along the same lines think inside the box we talked a lot about privatized housing. i'm a big fan. i think the public-private partnership explorations but the privatized pace, i would love to see those programs expanded. mr. owens, can you talk about your plan for expansion? that's certainly a direction i think we need to pursue. >> i appreciate the opportunity. on the previous point on wi-fi, last week we got to agreement the rest of the military departments have the authority to exactly what the navy did so thanks to the navy for leading out on that. on the privatization, the need is huge. all of the tools, anything in the toolbox need to deleverage for us to get after. privatization and the jury will the lessons we can about the process over the last 25 years are certainly a piece of that. but yes, we're absolutely at that as a critical aspect to get after the show to. >> iq. are reimport. my time is expired. i yield back. >> thank you, ms. kiggans. ms. escobar from texas. >> thank

the dod inspector general is still working on his independent review that we fully support. now, befo questions, i want to make one thing very clear. at no time during my treatment or recovery were there any gaps in authority and no ridge of to the command and control. i fu in the national security decision makes onmiddle east and military operations in self-defense to protect our troops and our facilities over there. again, we're moving swiftly put some helpful new procedures in place to fication. i am confident that we'll not experience the same issues n>or ed and will more so in the future. thank you for your testimony and thanfor putting that in place. when will the committee stand up for the defense of this nation? when will my colleagues on the republ committee find the courage to get that job done? five months have p thethe duty is on us. secretary, 17 seconds. if you would like to comment on the necessity of getting the so. >> the time has expired. we recognize the gentleman from virginia. >>> we wish you continued recovery from your surgery. i would like to go throu

are dod and space command specifically and appropriately leveraging commercial space capabilities? >> thank you for the question. us commercial space industry is one of our absolute national advantages and we' ve leveraged that in the past. i think we can find better and more innovative ways to leverage it going forward. us commercial space industry is moving incredibly fast, widening their lead in commercial space services over other countries and we want to make sure we are partnerewith them as tightly as possible. >> what protections exist for commercial satellites against cyber attack? >> as part of my unified command plan response abilities i have response ability to protect and defend commercial assets as directed so as we work with these commercial companies we already have information sharing agreements with the companies we are already contracted with for capability and they sit with us at one of our operation centers in california at the highest levels of intelligence to know what those threats are and we share that information and we went to work with them as well to hel

that was dod's perspective. omplish those four goals.approach to goals of the june 2020 brief? >> no, we -- nothing substantive was done. they maintained any old pn we continued to refine our plan going forward to account for the reduced numbers. >> and, of course, general milleyust testified a few minutes ago, that's conversations with secretary esper and coming down to the christmas and then january, number on the military side. so that implies that upon being sworn into office that president biden and advisers took the decision to get out completely. when was the first time general milley that the president took the decision that w!;reetely fra planning point of view, not the date that you agreed to but planning point of view? >> well, announced on the 14th. if memory serves me right i think i was informed maybe on the 11th, somet just prior. >> upon that announcement would you say the department of state defense and state began efforts of the jundent trump or was there no effort to get both departments, eminent role on existing the n

while the dod helps conduct the emergency evacuation, it is the state department that is responsibleor developing the plan and leading the evacuation. is that your understanding? >> yes. the state department's lead federal agency for planning and execution of the noncompetitive operation. and the department of defense is in support of and other departments are in support of. that's correct. >> general mckenzie? >> i agree. >> the state department are they responsible under law? for requesting emergency evacuation is that correct? >> that is correct. and i think actually i think that is done at the pass at oriole level, you have to check the law but i think the ambassador can make the decision but it's up to him or secretary of state. >> and did the state department specifically embassy kabul have an evacuation for afghanistan? >> chairman every embassy has an evacuation plan for afghanistan. embassy kabul had not had a plan or had an f77 list which is the list of u.s. citizens and their families in the country, and we struggled to gain access to that plan and work with them over much

november 2020, dod received orders from the white house to reduce troop levels, 2500, january 15th, 'he current administration took office, january ■y roughly 2500 u.s. troops on the ground with 22,000 nato troops and contractors. beginning in february of '21, the national security council conducted a 10-week interagency review of the doha agreement with various options presented and debated. previous public testimony, i noted, at that time, my analysis, based on my assessment and the recommendations of the commanders to include general mackenzie, the consensus of the joint chiefs of staff, was that force of 2500 troops on the ground, mostly special forces, with allied troops and the afghan national security forces and its government until the department divisions of the doha agreement were met. for the support my view at the time, it was only a matter of when, not if, the afghan government would collapse and the taliban would take control. again, i previously publicly testified, and i consistently supported and negotiated an end to the war, but only if there was a reduction and perma

the dod does have a policy because there's no specific details, but you don't have a child this beforepposed to start one later this month. the is like a response? what you plan to do? >> here's what i know. the last time there was a big election interference and never it was in the the inspector general who revealed the text messages between the lovebird struck in page and the little insurance policy they had. well jerrett smith right now is engaging in explicit election interference. he is the insurance policy, except now, they are trying to ensure that the trial occurs before the election. if you look at the amy coverity concurrence in the colorado case, she make specific note of the fact that this is all erecting during a political season. just like the inspector general exposed the russian hoax for election interference, now he ought to sink his teeth into jack smith. let's find out the coordination that has occurred between the department of justice and all these various efforts to pursue president trump and you know what's true about jack smith? he is totally given up the game.

through our partnership with the dod in the us chamber. we have trained 215 service members and hired 183. 90% of these participants are still with verizon today. finally, we have strong partnerships with other career readiness veteran serving organizations, namely 50 strong and four block. but with over 100 va recognized veteran organizations, the amount of information can be overwhelming guidance and co ordination from the va could help filter what is most relevant. at verizon we believe that , retaining our veteran employees is just as important as recruiting them. we do everything we can to ensure they are valued and supported to give vera veterans a continued sense of camaraderie and the opportunity to serve others. we established an internal employee resource group called --. this gives veterans a forum for support and career guidance. it also hosts volunteer projects that provide thousands of hours of veteran focussed community service annually. this includes raising awareness for the affordable connectivity program acp which provid
