Thank you chris 28 00:00:56,646 --> 00:00:58,923 and thank you all for being here today . 29 00:00:58,923 --> 00:01:00,923 Vice Admiral Box and I will give an 30 00:01:00,923 --> 00:01:03,146 overview of the budget request and then 31 00:01:03,146 --> 00:01:02,460 we will take questions after the 32 00:01:02,460 --> 00:01:05,570 presentation On the first slide . The 33 00:01:05,580 --> 00:01:07,691 23 budget is directly informed by the 34 00:01:07,691 --> 00:01:09,913 new National Defense Strategy which was 35 00:01:09,913 --> 00:01:11,969 delivered to Congress this morning , 36 00:01:11,969 --> 00:01:14,191 which in turn builds on the Secretary's 37 00:01:14,191 --> 00:01:16,302 message to the force and outlines our 38 00:01:16,302 --> 00:01:18,524 defense priority . The strategy focuses 39 00:01:18,524 --> 00:01:20,636 on the need to sustain and strengthen 40 00:01:20,636 --> 00:01:22,802 us deterrence with china as our pacing 41 00:01:22,802 --> 00:01:24,858 challenge as we've all seen . Russia 42 00:01:24,858 --> 00:01:26,969 remains an acute threat but china and 43 00:01:26,969 --> 00:01:29,191 its ambitions remain are our number one 44 00:01:29,191 --> 00:01:31,191 challenge . The budget supports the 45 00:01:31,191 --> 00:01:33,247 strategy that directs D . O . D . To 46 00:01:33,247 --> 00:01:35,247 continue modernizing our forces are 47 00:01:35,247 --> 00:01:37,469 global posture and operational concepts 48 00:01:37,469 --> 00:01:37,370 to ensure that our military is capable 49 00:01:37,370 --> 00:01:39,470 of deterring and defending against 50 00:01:39,470 --> 00:01:41,581 aggression , particularly in the indo 51 00:01:41,581 --> 00:01:44,380 pacific and in europe . In this budget 52 00:01:44,380 --> 00:01:46,602 will make progress all across the board 53 00:01:46,602 --> 00:01:48,658 from the health of our force and our 54 00:01:48,658 --> 00:01:50,824 industrial base to the capabilities we 55 00:01:50,824 --> 00:01:52,713 need for the joint war fight . We 56 00:01:52,713 --> 00:01:54,880 prioritized in this budget investments 57 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:54,700 in foundational capabilities that 58 00:01:54,700 --> 00:01:56,867 address our challenges from both china 59 00:01:56,867 --> 00:01:58,978 and Russia . First and foremost , our 60 00:01:58,978 --> 00:02:00,533 resilience in space and the 61 00:02:00,533 --> 00:02:02,589 modernization of our nuclear triad , 62 00:02:02,589 --> 00:02:04,756 but also in cyber capability . Our use 63 00:02:04,756 --> 00:02:06,978 of artificial intelligence , the health 64 00:02:06,978 --> 00:02:09,200 of our force , the health of our supply 65 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:08,620 chain and industrial base . And this is 66 00:02:08,620 --> 00:02:11,000 a theme I'll come back to . It is many 67 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,111 things are not either Russia or china 68 00:02:13,111 --> 00:02:15,270 in this budget . On the next slide , 69 00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:17,159 let me show you the numbers . The 70 00:02:17,159 --> 00:02:19,214 budget request for the Department of 71 00:02:19,214 --> 00:02:21,437 Defense is 773 billion . An increase of 72 00:02:21,437 --> 00:02:24,490 13.7 billion or 4.1% from the 22 73 00:02:24,490 --> 00:02:26,950 inactive level and 58 billion or 8% 74 00:02:26,950 --> 00:02:30,390 from the Fy 22 request . This request 75 00:02:30,390 --> 00:02:32,557 ensures the department can sustain and 76 00:02:32,557 --> 00:02:34,612 strengthen integrated deterrence and 77 00:02:34,612 --> 00:02:36,390 investments that build enduring 78 00:02:36,390 --> 00:02:36,180 advantages including supporting our 79 00:02:36,180 --> 00:02:38,236 service members and their families , 80 00:02:38,236 --> 00:02:40,013 strengthening our alliances and 81 00:02:40,013 --> 00:02:41,791 partnerships and preserving our 82 00:02:41,791 --> 00:02:43,680 technological edge . This request 83 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,902 reflects the resources to the match our 84 00:02:45,902 --> 00:02:48,013 current priorities . Specifically our 85 00:02:48,013 --> 00:02:49,958 focus on china required additional 86 00:02:49,958 --> 00:02:49,870 investments for both the Navy and the 87 00:02:49,870 --> 00:02:52,200 Air Force . The army's budget increased 88 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,422 more modestly , which reflects reflects 89 00:02:54,422 --> 00:02:56,533 both our strategic priorities and the 90 00:02:56,533 --> 00:02:58,644 sense of in the end of the mission in 91 00:02:58,644 --> 00:03:00,700 Afghanistan . And I think this table 92 00:03:00,700 --> 00:03:02,756 gives you a sense that the budget is 93 00:03:02,756 --> 00:03:04,978 not just always one third , one third , 94 00:03:04,978 --> 00:03:04,760 one third as some , some folks would 95 00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,830 believe . Um So with that , let me let 96 00:03:07,830 --> 00:03:10,080 me show you just real quickly where the 97 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,191 history has been . I think all of you 98 00:03:12,191 --> 00:03:13,969 are probably familiar with this 99 00:03:13,969 --> 00:03:16,136 starting from the 9 11 attack and that 100 00:03:16,136 --> 00:03:18,024 kind of post 9 11 era through the 101 00:03:18,024 --> 00:03:20,247 Budget control act decade that followed 102 00:03:20,247 --> 00:03:22,469 it . You'll see the growth and the base 103 00:03:22,469 --> 00:03:24,636 budget , the growth in the so called G 104 00:03:24,636 --> 00:03:26,858 watt or OCO budget in red . That is now 105 00:03:26,858 --> 00:03:29,136 wound down as we've exited Afghanistan . 106 00:03:29,136 --> 00:03:31,136 Again , most of this , most of this 107 00:03:31,136 --> 00:03:33,302 should be familiar to all of you , but 108 00:03:33,302 --> 00:03:32,920 just a little scene setter for where 109 00:03:32,920 --> 00:03:35,430 we've been now to turn to the budget 110 00:03:35,430 --> 00:03:37,430 before you and let me take a little 111 00:03:37,430 --> 00:03:39,541 time on this slide . This slide shows 112 00:03:39,541 --> 00:03:41,263 the difference between the the 113 00:03:41,263 --> 00:03:43,374 administration's first defense budget 114 00:03:43,374 --> 00:03:45,597 which was presented a year ago . Uh and 115 00:03:45,597 --> 00:03:47,541 and the current budget which we're 116 00:03:47,541 --> 00:03:49,652 submitting today . That difference is 117 00:03:49,652 --> 00:03:49,360 over $40 billion dollars per year in 118 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,416 additional resources being requested 119 00:03:51,416 --> 00:03:53,638 for the Defense Department in this plan 120 00:03:53,638 --> 00:03:55,693 compared to last year's plan for the 121 00:03:55,693 --> 00:03:57,970 same fiscal years . This is based on a 122 00:03:57,970 --> 00:04:00,192 rigorous strategy based review that all 123 00:04:00,192 --> 00:04:02,303 of us participated in . Led by Deputy 124 00:04:02,303 --> 00:04:04,137 secretary Hicks and and the vice 125 00:04:04,137 --> 00:04:06,359 chairman . We looked at the emissions , 126 00:04:06,359 --> 00:04:08,526 we looked at things mission by mission 127 00:04:08,526 --> 00:04:10,192 portfolio by portfolio , made 128 00:04:10,192 --> 00:04:12,137 recommendations to the secretary . 129 00:04:12,137 --> 00:04:14,248 Secretary took those to the President 130 00:04:14,248 --> 00:04:16,137 is what he said we needed . Those 131 00:04:16,137 --> 00:04:18,303 represent those are represented by the 132 00:04:18,303 --> 00:04:20,581 red solid bars on top of the blue bars . 133 00:04:20,581 --> 00:04:22,748 That's about again $20 billion dollars 134 00:04:22,748 --> 00:04:22,720 minimum per year in additional 135 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,540 programmatic content on top of that . 136 00:04:25,870 --> 00:04:28,092 We also re priced things to reflect the 137 00:04:28,092 --> 00:04:30,314 inflationary pressures that we saw last 138 00:04:30,314 --> 00:04:32,426 year , both in terms of the goods and 139 00:04:32,426 --> 00:04:34,426 services we buy from our industrial 140 00:04:34,426 --> 00:04:36,720 base and the pay and compensation which 141 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:38,664 you just discussed with the deputy 142 00:04:38,664 --> 00:04:40,720 secretary and the vice chairman . So 143 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:41,720 about $14 billion 144 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:57,620 $6 145 00:04:57,620 --> 00:04:59,731 billion dollars a year . The very top 146 00:04:59,731 --> 00:05:01,398 of each bar is in the pay and 147 00:05:01,398 --> 00:05:03,620 compensation site . And that's military 148 00:05:03,630 --> 00:05:05,741 pay raise civilian pay rates that are 149 00:05:05,741 --> 00:05:07,630 higher than was planned last year 150 00:05:07,630 --> 00:05:09,810 increases in Bh the housing allowance 151 00:05:10,090 --> 00:05:11,701 increases in B . A . S . The 152 00:05:11,701 --> 00:05:14,170 subsistence allowance Increases in the 153 00:05:14,180 --> 00:05:16,490 $15 minimum wage that the president 154 00:05:16,490 --> 00:05:18,657 directed by executive order which took 155 00:05:18,657 --> 00:05:21,030 effect this January . Those increases 156 00:05:21,030 --> 00:05:23,240 are all rolled in there . So combining 157 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,770 those things , program growth inflation 158 00:05:25,770 --> 00:05:27,881 in in the goods and services side and 159 00:05:27,881 --> 00:05:29,870 higher compensation costs . The 160 00:05:29,870 --> 00:05:32,037 secretary took those three elements to 161 00:05:32,037 --> 00:05:34,148 the President and got his support for 162 00:05:34,148 --> 00:05:36,148 all of that and that represents the 163 00:05:36,148 --> 00:05:36,120 increase from this year to last year . 164 00:05:36,130 --> 00:05:38,500 So we really we really value that these 165 00:05:38,510 --> 00:05:40,732 the partnership that we had with both A 166 00:05:40,732 --> 00:05:42,954 and B . And and the White House to work 167 00:05:42,954 --> 00:05:45,010 through these issues in this way and 168 00:05:45,010 --> 00:05:47,232 get the additional resources we believe 169 00:05:47,232 --> 00:05:49,177 we need on the next slide . Just a 170 00:05:49,177 --> 00:05:51,343 little drill down a little bit more on 171 00:05:51,343 --> 00:05:55,290 fy 20 to fy 23 we had a $715 billion 172 00:05:55,290 --> 00:05:57,940 request as you know , that sat there 173 00:05:57,940 --> 00:06:00,600 for a long time was not finally dealt 174 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,890 with by Congress until about 23 weeks 175 00:06:02,890 --> 00:06:06,080 ago . Congress did end up adding funds 176 00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,136 that was not known to us at the time 177 00:06:08,136 --> 00:06:10,358 that we finished our budget . What they 178 00:06:10,358 --> 00:06:12,358 would do or not do in the preceding 179 00:06:12,358 --> 00:06:14,540 months . We had and you'll see an 180 00:06:14,540 --> 00:06:16,600 orange bar there , a variety of 181 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,711 supplemental funding requests to help 182 00:06:18,711 --> 00:06:20,267 our afghan refugee partners 183 00:06:20,267 --> 00:06:22,320 operationalize . Welcome . That was 184 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,130 about $6.5 billion and another $6.5 185 00:06:25,130 --> 00:06:27,352 billion recently enacted in the omnibus 186 00:06:27,352 --> 00:06:29,680 funding bill for Ukraine assistance to 187 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,160 Ukraine as well as our own uh more more 188 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,510 robust posture in europe right now . So 189 00:06:34,510 --> 00:06:36,566 there were some one time things that 190 00:06:36,566 --> 00:06:38,788 may may not be repeated In 23 that were 191 00:06:38,788 --> 00:06:41,910 in 22 . Uh but again , you can see the 192 00:06:41,910 --> 00:06:44,530 growth here uh a substantial growth 193 00:06:44,530 --> 00:06:46,586 from from what was requested for the 194 00:06:46,586 --> 00:06:48,641 base budget from the one year to the 195 00:06:48,641 --> 00:06:50,586 next year . And even a substantial 196 00:06:50,586 --> 00:06:52,752 request from what was funded last year 197 00:06:52,752 --> 00:06:54,808 to what was to what was enacted this 198 00:06:54,808 --> 00:06:57,390 year pivoting now quickly to end 199 00:06:57,390 --> 00:06:59,446 strength . I don't want to dwell and 200 00:06:59,446 --> 00:07:01,446 this is necessarily be , I know the 201 00:07:01,446 --> 00:07:03,612 services are going to follow us army , 202 00:07:03,612 --> 00:07:05,723 Navy air force and they'll be able to 203 00:07:05,723 --> 00:07:07,834 talk in more detail about this . Many 204 00:07:07,834 --> 00:07:09,834 of you have probably heard that the 205 00:07:09,834 --> 00:07:12,001 army and strength is coming off of the 206 00:07:12,001 --> 00:07:14,001 405,000 figure for the active force 207 00:07:14,001 --> 00:07:16,112 that they have been shooting at for a 208 00:07:16,112 --> 00:07:18,168 couple of years . Given a variety of 209 00:07:18,168 --> 00:07:20,334 factors include including the very low 210 00:07:20,334 --> 00:07:22,334 unemployment rate right now and the 211 00:07:22,334 --> 00:07:24,501 declining propensity to serve that . I 212 00:07:24,501 --> 00:07:26,612 think several services are seeing the 213 00:07:26,612 --> 00:07:28,779 army felt it was not productive to try 214 00:07:28,779 --> 00:07:30,723 and chase that number . Uh They've 215 00:07:30,723 --> 00:07:32,834 redirected those resources toward the 216 00:07:32,834 --> 00:07:34,723 reserve component mobilization in 217 00:07:34,723 --> 00:07:36,779 particular and the overall health of 218 00:07:36,779 --> 00:07:39,001 the army , There's a slight decrease in 219 00:07:39,001 --> 00:07:41,112 the Navy also with retirement of some 220 00:07:41,112 --> 00:07:43,223 ships that we can discuss later . But 221 00:07:43,223 --> 00:07:42,970 overall you're seeing a very flat 222 00:07:42,980 --> 00:07:45,091 picture by the , for the most part of 223 00:07:45,091 --> 00:07:47,091 where we expect to end this year to 224 00:07:47,091 --> 00:07:49,313 where we expect and next next year less 225 00:07:49,313 --> 00:07:51,600 than a 5000 person change across the 226 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,970 force . And my message here is that uh 227 00:07:54,980 --> 00:07:57,147 the increase in the resources that was 228 00:07:57,147 --> 00:07:59,290 described on the last slide , big 229 00:07:59,290 --> 00:08:01,401 picture wise and will be discussed in 230 00:08:01,401 --> 00:08:03,568 more detail going forward is not about 231 00:08:03,568 --> 00:08:05,679 making the force bigger . That is not 232 00:08:05,679 --> 00:08:07,734 what we've , what we what our review 233 00:08:07,734 --> 00:08:09,901 concluded that we needed to do . We're 234 00:08:09,901 --> 00:08:11,734 looking at making the force more 235 00:08:11,734 --> 00:08:15,050 capable .

With with 606 00:21:18,497 --> 00:21:20,497 the new basic needs allowance , The 607 00:21:20,497 --> 00:21:22,663 largest pay raise in 20 years for both 608 00:21:22,663 --> 00:21:24,830 the military and civilian force 4.6% . 609 00:21:24,830 --> 00:21:27,180 We also are implementing the the $15 610 00:21:27,180 --> 00:21:29,291 minimum wage executive order from the 611 00:21:29,291 --> 00:21:31,540 president for both our our workforce 612 00:21:31,540 --> 00:21:33,484 ourselves , which has a relatively 613 00:21:33,484 --> 00:21:35,651 small number of people affected inside 614 00:21:35,651 --> 00:21:37,651 our workforce and the larger number 615 00:21:37,651 --> 00:21:37,110 that would be affected in our 616 00:21:37,110 --> 00:21:39,840 contractor workforce and as also was 617 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,896 discussed by the deputy investing in 618 00:21:41,896 --> 00:21:44,560 childcare fee assistance things to help 619 00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:46,616 address that need something . I know 620 00:21:46,616 --> 00:21:48,680 that was a lot of families felt with 621 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,513 the disruption of covid placed a 622 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,050 particular stress on that segment of 623 00:21:53,050 --> 00:21:56,560 our of our workforce and that segment 624 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,790 of our of our needs of our benefits 625 00:21:58,790 --> 00:22:01,540 package . Now moving to the next area 626 00:22:01,540 --> 00:22:03,762 sort of pivoting from the people's side 627 00:22:03,762 --> 00:22:05,540 to the to the technology side , 628 00:22:05,540 --> 00:22:07,707 innovation has been a huge priority of 629 00:22:07,707 --> 00:22:09,818 Deputy secretary hicks in this budget 630 00:22:09,818 --> 00:22:12,040 and in this process and in the way that 631 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,180 she runs the organization as as was 632 00:22:14,180 --> 00:22:16,402 described , we have the largest R and D 633 00:22:16,402 --> 00:22:18,236 budget ever within that , a very 634 00:22:18,236 --> 00:22:20,458 healthy SmT budget . We have some areas 635 00:22:20,458 --> 00:22:22,569 that we're going to discuss in future 636 00:22:22,569 --> 00:22:24,847 slides in areas like micro electronics , 637 00:22:24,847 --> 00:22:27,069 also artificial intelligence , not just 638 00:22:27,069 --> 00:22:29,069 on the funding side with artificial 639 00:22:29,069 --> 00:22:30,569 intelligence . Also on the 640 00:22:30,569 --> 00:22:32,402 organizational side , the Deputy 641 00:22:32,402 --> 00:22:34,513 secretary has pulled together a group 642 00:22:34,513 --> 00:22:36,680 of disparate efforts that we had maven 643 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,736 effort in the combatant commanders . 644 00:22:38,736 --> 00:22:40,624 The Joint artificial Intelligence 645 00:22:40,624 --> 00:22:42,847 center here , Defense Digital Service , 646 00:22:42,847 --> 00:22:44,569 the advantage platform that my 647 00:22:44,569 --> 00:22:46,624 organization developed have all been 648 00:22:46,624 --> 00:22:48,847 merged together in the Chief Digital or 649 00:22:48,847 --> 00:22:51,069 an Ai office that will allow us to have 650 00:22:51,069 --> 00:22:53,291 a better unity , unity of effort in the 651 00:22:53,291 --> 00:22:55,402 artificial intelligence space . We're 652 00:22:55,402 --> 00:22:57,569 also continuing to to work on the five 653 00:22:57,569 --> 00:22:59,680 in the 5G area , very important areas 654 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,736 we operate around around the country 655 00:23:01,736 --> 00:23:03,569 around the world . And finally , 656 00:23:03,569 --> 00:23:05,458 innovation goes hand in hand with 657 00:23:05,458 --> 00:23:07,900 experimentation experimentation . Some 658 00:23:07,900 --> 00:23:09,789 of you have heard of the deputies 659 00:23:09,789 --> 00:23:11,789 initiative called the Rapid Defense 660 00:23:11,789 --> 00:23:13,844 experimentation reserve or raider is 661 00:23:13,844 --> 00:23:15,900 not a fund , it's not a line item in 662 00:23:15,900 --> 00:23:18,122 the budget and that's why we don't have 663 00:23:18,122 --> 00:23:18,110 a dollar figure there , but it is a 664 00:23:18,110 --> 00:23:21,060 process , a tool to help us bring 665 00:23:21,060 --> 00:23:23,004 together joint experimentation and 666 00:23:23,004 --> 00:23:25,227 accelerate joint experimentation across 667 00:23:25,227 --> 00:23:27,640 the services . Finally , on industrial 668 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,418 base again , we've talked about 669 00:23:29,418 --> 00:23:31,640 industrial base being an important part 670 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,807 of our of our whole team here . We all 671 00:23:33,807 --> 00:23:36,029 recognize that we don't develop our own 672 00:23:36,029 --> 00:23:38,251 weapon systems here . We we rely on our 673 00:23:38,251 --> 00:23:37,860 private sector partners to do that 674 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,496 support the covid , covid and supply 675 00:23:41,496 --> 00:23:43,496 chain impacts of the last two years 676 00:23:43,496 --> 00:23:45,829 really have have really heightened this . 677 00:23:45,829 --> 00:23:47,607 I think in everybody's mind the 678 00:23:47,607 --> 00:23:49,662 importance of the supply chain , the 679 00:23:49,662 --> 00:23:51,551 fragility . In some cases we paid 680 00:23:51,551 --> 00:23:53,107 special attention to this . 681 00:23:53,107 --> 00:23:55,273 Microelectronic , probably the biggest 682 00:23:55,273 --> 00:23:57,440 investment that we make in this budget 683 00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,496 in this area . As many of you know , 684 00:23:59,496 --> 00:23:59,060 there is also very important 685 00:23:59,060 --> 00:24:01,060 legislation pending on Capitol Hill 686 00:24:01,060 --> 00:24:03,282 that would that would address this area 687 00:24:03,282 --> 00:24:05,504 this area . But this is a D O . D piece 688 00:24:05,504 --> 00:24:07,171 particularly of this on micro 689 00:24:07,171 --> 00:24:09,338 electronics . We have a big investment 690 00:24:09,338 --> 00:24:09,140 in the R and D and procurement , both 691 00:24:09,140 --> 00:24:11,029 in this as the deputy mentioned , 692 00:24:11,029 --> 00:24:13,990 casting and forging energy and storage , 693 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,600 uh kinetic capabilities , energetic and 694 00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,670 also strategic and critical material 695 00:24:18,670 --> 00:24:21,590 investments . Um , in addition to that 696 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,767 these kind of broader industrial based 697 00:24:23,767 --> 00:24:25,433 things that apply to multiple 698 00:24:25,433 --> 00:24:27,156 technologies . We've also paid 699 00:24:27,156 --> 00:24:29,267 particular attention to the submarine 700 00:24:29,267 --> 00:24:31,322 industrial base , which is something 701 00:24:31,322 --> 00:24:30,980 that is , you know , it takes you a 702 00:24:30,980 --> 00:24:33,340 long time to build skills if you lose 703 00:24:33,340 --> 00:24:35,260 them there . Uh we're we've got 704 00:24:35,260 --> 00:24:37,149 investments in the health of that 705 00:24:37,149 --> 00:24:39,610 workforce also um continuing to work 706 00:24:39,610 --> 00:24:42,030 with with , you know , tried and true 707 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,380 uh to um sorry tried and true 708 00:24:45,380 --> 00:24:48,900 organizations like DARPA . Finally on 709 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,480 re prioritization . This is something 710 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,258 that department has been asking 711 00:24:54,258 --> 00:24:56,369 Congress in different forms , but the 712 00:24:56,369 --> 00:24:58,536 consistent messaging over the years is 713 00:24:58,536 --> 00:25:00,591 there are there are some things that 714 00:25:00,591 --> 00:25:02,702 are less capable , less responsive to 715 00:25:02,702 --> 00:25:04,869 our future needs that we need to start 716 00:25:04,869 --> 00:25:07,091 moving away from and you'll see some of 717 00:25:07,091 --> 00:25:06,800 these things in the budget on the Navy 718 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:09,370 side Decommissioning some of the LCS 719 00:25:09,370 --> 00:25:11,430 ships that have had issues with both 720 00:25:11,430 --> 00:25:13,597 their mission packages or with or with 721 00:25:13,597 --> 00:25:15,708 their combining gears or both in some 722 00:25:15,708 --> 00:25:18,310 cases . Also some some cruisers on the 723 00:25:18,310 --> 00:25:20,480 Air Force to begin a path to , to move 724 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,630 away from the A 10 over the next five 725 00:25:22,630 --> 00:25:25,810 or six years . Also the E three and the 726 00:25:25,810 --> 00:25:27,930 E eight and so also some of the older 727 00:25:27,930 --> 00:25:30,130 tankers now that we see the KC 46 728 00:25:30,130 --> 00:25:32,297 getting more capable again , these are 729 00:25:32,297 --> 00:25:34,019 things the department has been 730 00:25:34,019 --> 00:25:36,074 consistent across the administration 731 00:25:36,074 --> 00:25:35,480 saying we need to move in this 732 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,410 direction and we continue to make that 733 00:25:38,410 --> 00:25:41,180 effort in this budget . On the climate 734 00:25:41,180 --> 00:25:43,402 side , this is this is something that I 735 00:25:43,402 --> 00:25:45,291 think was just discussed when the 736 00:25:45,291 --> 00:25:47,513 deputy was out here . This is something 737 00:25:47,513 --> 00:25:49,736 very consistent with our messaging last 738 00:25:49,736 --> 00:25:49,580 year . We're looking at both the 739 00:25:49,580 --> 00:25:52,660 installation side climate resilience of 740 00:25:52,660 --> 00:25:54,771 our of our our facilities which again 741 00:25:54,771 --> 00:25:57,660 is something that given the repeated 742 00:25:57,670 --> 00:26:00,150 more patterns of extreme weather there 743 00:26:00,150 --> 00:26:02,206 there would be , we would be foolish 744 00:26:02,206 --> 00:26:04,428 not to make sure that we are doing what 745 00:26:04,428 --> 00:26:06,094 we can to build that into our 746 00:26:06,094 --> 00:26:08,317 consideration when we build or renovate 747 00:26:08,317 --> 00:26:10,483 facilities and on the operational side 748 00:26:10,483 --> 00:26:12,706 we have and you'll see here some of the 749 00:26:12,706 --> 00:26:14,872 science and technology and operational 750 00:26:14,872 --> 00:26:16,872 energy initiatives . These are four 751 00:26:16,872 --> 00:26:18,650 things that things that move in 752 00:26:18,650 --> 00:26:20,650 particular . You know , both ground 753 00:26:20,650 --> 00:26:22,872 vehicles . We've got some efforts going 754 00:26:22,872 --> 00:26:22,200 across the fit up on the , on the air 755 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,380 side as well . Important point I want 756 00:26:24,380 --> 00:26:27,840 to make here is that not only will 757 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,260 these have benefits perhaps in cost 758 00:26:30,260 --> 00:26:32,660 savings in in reducing our logistics 759 00:26:32,660 --> 00:26:34,827 footprint to the extent that we can be 760 00:26:34,827 --> 00:26:37,049 more creative here were also being very 761 00:26:37,049 --> 00:26:39,271 mindful and we talked about this in our 762 00:26:39,271 --> 00:26:41,271 internal processes of moving in the 763 00:26:41,271 --> 00:26:43,216 direction that industry is already 764 00:26:43,216 --> 00:26:45,271 moving . So whether it's things like 765 00:26:45,271 --> 00:26:47,438 batteries or the type of vehicles that 766 00:26:47,438 --> 00:26:46,530 industry are making , we don't want to 767 00:26:46,530 --> 00:26:48,752 be rooted in the past while industry is 768 00:26:48,752 --> 00:26:50,863 moving on , we want to be moving with 769 00:26:50,863 --> 00:26:53,086 them on that front . That's that's part 770 00:26:53,086 --> 00:26:55,086 of our what we call climate in this 771 00:26:55,086 --> 00:26:57,308 area . On the facility side , we have a 772 00:26:57,308 --> 00:26:58,863 $12 billion dollar military 773 00:26:58,863 --> 00:27:01,330 construction budget . Very significant 774 00:27:01,340 --> 00:27:03,451 investment in our shipyards which has 775 00:27:03,451 --> 00:27:05,562 been the Admiral box . I talked about 776 00:27:05,940 --> 00:27:08,920 again a once in a generation effort to 777 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,087 invest significant funds in both in in 778 00:27:11,087 --> 00:27:13,850 this case , both in in in Portsmouth 779 00:27:13,850 --> 00:27:15,961 Maine and in Pearl harbor are the big 780 00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,320 areas in this year's budget and 781 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,376 something that's been in the news in 782 00:27:20,376 --> 00:27:22,209 particular . We also have a very 783 00:27:22,209 --> 00:27:22,060 healthy sustainment budget by the way 784 00:27:22,060 --> 00:27:24,227 across the budget . In addition to the 785 00:27:24,227 --> 00:27:26,227 new construction budget , something 786 00:27:26,227 --> 00:27:28,338 that's been in the news substantially 787 00:27:28,338 --> 00:27:28,310 over the past couple of months , the 788 00:27:28,310 --> 00:27:31,170 Redhill fuel storage facility in Hawaii . 789 00:27:32,140 --> 00:27:34,362 You probably saw that in the continuing 790 00:27:34,362 --> 00:27:36,362 resolution and again in the omnibus 791 00:27:36,362 --> 00:27:38,362 funding bill . Congress put funding 792 00:27:38,362 --> 00:27:40,362 significant funding in both in both 793 00:27:40,362 --> 00:27:42,584 those bills . At our request , totaling 794 00:27:42,584 --> 00:27:44,751 approximately $1 billion in fy 22 . We 795 00:27:44,751 --> 00:27:46,862 request another billion dollars in fy 796 00:27:46,862 --> 00:27:49,320 23 in a flexible fund that would allow 797 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,431 us to move in different directions to 798 00:27:51,431 --> 00:27:53,520 address the dispersal of fuel to 799 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,470 address where the litigation and the 800 00:27:56,470 --> 00:27:58,526 negotiations permit to address start 801 00:27:58,526 --> 00:28:00,470 addressing remediation to continue 802 00:28:00,470 --> 00:28:02,581 addressing the near term needs of the 803 00:28:02,581 --> 00:28:04,637 families , whether if there's anyone 804 00:28:04,637 --> 00:28:06,692 still displaced from their housing , 805 00:28:06,692 --> 00:28:08,859 the water filtering those . So there's 806 00:28:08,859 --> 00:28:11,026 kind of the near term the far term and 807 00:28:11,026 --> 00:28:13,080 the remediation this funding could 808 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,024 involve but primarily the navy but 809 00:28:15,024 --> 00:28:17,080 possible , possibly also the Defense 810 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,302 Logistics Agency . So we expect to work 811 00:28:19,302 --> 00:28:21,358 with Congress as they , as they work 812 00:28:21,358 --> 00:28:23,470 through this budget process to taylor 813 00:28:23,470 --> 00:28:25,637 and and to maybe shape this fund . But 814 00:28:25,637 --> 00:28:27,692 we but we we have a very , I think , 815 00:28:27,692 --> 00:28:29,803 visible commitment to the secretary's 816 00:28:29,803 --> 00:28:31,803 commitment to do the right thing by 817 00:28:31,803 --> 00:28:31,560 both our military families and our 818 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:33,782 neighbors in Hawaii represented by this 819 00:28:33,782 --> 00:28:36,280 billion dollar investment . So in 820 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,000 closing here again , the budgets 821 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,111 grounded the new strategy , we have a 822 00:28:41,111 --> 00:28:43,056 strong strategy . We have a strong 823 00:28:43,056 --> 00:28:45,111 budget . We have the three the three 824 00:28:45,111 --> 00:28:47,111 ways we're getting there that we've 825 00:28:47,111 --> 00:28:46,870 talked about integrated deterrence 826 00:28:46,870 --> 00:28:49,250 campaigning building buildings enduring 827 00:28:49,250 --> 00:28:53,100 advantage . We remain focused on china . 828 00:28:53,110 --> 00:28:55,054 We had no illusions about Putin as 829 00:28:55,054 --> 00:28:57,221 anything but an adversary . But if you 830 00:28:57,221 --> 00:28:59,332 look long term big picture , whatever 831 00:28:59,332 --> 00:29:01,554 you wanna call it , china still has the 832 00:29:01,554 --> 00:29:03,888 economic power of the military power to , 833 00:29:03,888 --> 00:29:06,110 to really be our primary challenge . We 834 00:29:06,110 --> 00:29:08,332 are not taking our off that ball in the 835 00:29:08,332 --> 00:29:10,554 strategy or in the budget , but what we 836 00:29:10,554 --> 00:29:12,721 did do and I'll come back to a point I 837 00:29:12,721 --> 00:29:14,980 made earlier , we paid the most 838 00:29:14,980 --> 00:29:16,813 attention to the things that are 839 00:29:16,813 --> 00:29:18,924 foundational like space and cyber and 840 00:29:18,924 --> 00:29:20,869 the industrial base that are not a 841 00:29:20,869 --> 00:29:23,202 china investment or a Russia investment . 842 00:29:23,202 --> 00:29:25,424 They're an investment in our capability 843 00:29:25,424 --> 00:29:27,647 across the board . They're foundational 844 00:29:27,647 --> 00:29:27,300 in all the directions we want . Might 845 00:29:27,300 --> 00:29:30,700 want to move . We looked at both the 846 00:29:30,700 --> 00:29:32,756 health of of our of our war fighters 847 00:29:32,756 --> 00:29:34,867 and health of our ecosystem in this . 848 00:29:34,867 --> 00:29:38,310 Um , again , this , this budget is a 849 00:29:38,310 --> 00:29:40,980 strong strategy , strong budget and uh , 850 00:29:40,990 --> 00:29:42,990 we were , we look forward to taking 851 00:29:42,990 --> 00:29:45,460 your questions . I think we have a link 852 00:29:45,460 --> 00:29:47,404 here for further information . The 853 00:29:47,404 --> 00:29:49,349 information should be being posted 854 00:29:49,349 --> 00:29:51,516 today . I think I've described as some 855 00:29:51,516 --> 00:29:53,627 of you that the budget materials will 856 00:29:53,627 --> 00:29:55,849 be posted today , but some of them will 857 00:29:55,849 --> 00:29:57,750 be updated later to include Fy 22 858 00:29:57,750 --> 00:29:59,972 information as that becomes available . 859 00:29:59,972 --> 00:30:01,917 But all the Fy 23 information that 860 00:30:01,917 --> 00:30:04,950 people need is being posted today 861 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:09,640 and we'll start with the phone line 862 00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:12,550 leader , are you on the line ? Yes , I 863 00:30:12,550 --> 00:30:16,070 am , Good afternoon . I just I wanted 864 00:30:16,070 --> 00:30:18,126 to sort of ask a question off one of 865 00:30:18,126 --> 00:30:20,220 the last things you said about china 866 00:30:20,220 --> 00:30:22,331 still being the pacing threat but but 867 00:30:22,331 --> 00:30:25,200 also doing investments in um in more 868 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,256 broader things . You talked a little 869 00:30:27,256 --> 00:30:30,270 bit about um $5 billion 870 00:30:30,270 --> 00:30:34,190 European initiative , 871 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,256 could you give us some ideas is what 872 00:30:36,256 --> 00:30:38,422 some of that is . You said 4.2 billion 873 00:30:38,740 --> 00:30:41,440 Uh to adapt to the evolving threats ? 874 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:43,710 And another 900 million for security 875 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:46,470 cooperation . Is there money in there 876 00:30:46,470 --> 00:30:50,030 for bases for additional troops ? Can 877 00:30:50,030 --> 00:30:51,808 you just talk about sort of the 878 00:30:51,808 --> 00:30:55,570 European portion of what might be in 879 00:30:55,580 --> 00:30:59,180 this specific budget and then address 880 00:30:59,190 --> 00:31:02,070 um whether or not do you think at this 881 00:31:02,070 --> 00:31:05,210 point the funding for 882 00:31:05,220 --> 00:31:07,670 Ukraine and for replenishment 883 00:31:08,940 --> 00:31:11,380 is going to have to be readdressed this 884 00:31:11,380 --> 00:31:14,740 year in some sort of supplemental or is 885 00:31:14,740 --> 00:31:18,530 there any part of this ? The the the 886 00:31:18,530 --> 00:31:20,740 Ukraine money with that ? That's in 887 00:31:20,740 --> 00:31:23,140 this budget . The 300 million would 888 00:31:23,150 --> 00:31:26,450 that go for some of that ? Okay , sure . 889 00:31:26,450 --> 00:31:29,650 Thank you . Um The european deterrence 890 00:31:29,650 --> 00:31:31,650 initiative in this budget very much 891 00:31:31,650 --> 00:31:33,706 continues the trajectory of previous 892 00:31:33,706 --> 00:31:35,840 budgets . This budget was finalized , 893 00:31:35,850 --> 00:31:39,490 was finalized before Putin's invasion 894 00:31:39,500 --> 00:31:41,500 of Ukraine . So there is nothing in 895 00:31:41,500 --> 00:31:43,389 this budget that specifically was 896 00:31:43,389 --> 00:31:45,333 changed because it was too late to 897 00:31:45,333 --> 00:31:47,750 change it even if we wanted to uh to 898 00:31:47,750 --> 00:31:49,972 reflect the specifics of the invasion . 899 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,920 What we , what we have in 22 in the 900 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:55,250 omnibus funding in the omnibus funding 901 00:31:55,250 --> 00:31:57,306 bill at our request , Congress added 902 00:31:57,306 --> 00:31:59,417 some funds to address the deployments 903 00:31:59,417 --> 00:32:01,528 the secretary had ordered as of , you 904 00:32:01,528 --> 00:32:03,639 know , early , early february leading 905 00:32:03,639 --> 00:32:05,750 up to posture ourselves for what we , 906 00:32:05,750 --> 00:32:07,917 what we saw was likely to happen . And 907 00:32:07,917 --> 00:32:10,083 then in addition , in the omnibus , of 908 00:32:10,083 --> 00:32:12,028 course , the the other half of the 909 00:32:12,028 --> 00:32:14,139 funding , half of the funding sort of 910 00:32:14,139 --> 00:32:16,083 related to our forces are are Nate 911 00:32:16,083 --> 00:32:18,139 bolstering of NATO's eastern flank . 912 00:32:18,139 --> 00:32:20,306 The other half was the Ukraine related 913 00:32:20,306 --> 00:32:22,480 draw down funds . We do not project 914 00:32:22,490 --> 00:32:24,730 those that drawdown effort continuing 915 00:32:24,730 --> 00:32:27,610 into the 23 budget again , the conflict 916 00:32:27,610 --> 00:32:29,610 hadn't started when this budget was 917 00:32:29,610 --> 00:32:31,721 finalized . It is possible that there 918 00:32:31,721 --> 00:32:33,888 might be an additional need to address 919 00:32:33,888 --> 00:32:35,943 that either this year or next year . 920 00:32:35,943 --> 00:32:38,110 But it's really premature of us to say 921 00:32:38,110 --> 00:32:40,054 that uh , in the initial phases at 922 00:32:40,054 --> 00:32:42,221 least , obviously we have been running 923 00:32:42,221 --> 00:32:44,277 through that dry down at fairly high 924 00:32:44,277 --> 00:32:46,554 rate . So we're that to continue . Yes , 925 00:32:46,554 --> 00:32:48,721 we probably would need to address that 926 00:32:48,721 --> 00:32:50,610 again in the future . But I think 927 00:32:50,610 --> 00:32:52,832 stepping back the the whole question of 928 00:32:52,832 --> 00:32:55,054 what our posture will be , both for the 929 00:32:55,054 --> 00:32:57,388 US specifically and for NATO as a whole . 930 00:32:57,388 --> 00:32:59,721 You know , it's too early to tell given , 931 00:32:59,721 --> 00:33:01,888 given that this , this early stage one 932 00:33:01,888 --> 00:33:03,832 month in as to what the , what the 933 00:33:03,832 --> 00:33:06,054 conflict itself will look like and what 934 00:33:06,054 --> 00:33:08,277 the , what the NATO response will be in 935 00:33:08,277 --> 00:33:10,443 23 or beyond . I imagine that would be 936 00:33:10,443 --> 00:33:12,666 a NATO discussion and one of the things 937 00:33:12,666 --> 00:33:14,499 that's heartening to see in this 938 00:33:14,499 --> 00:33:16,554 particular uh situation is how other 939 00:33:16,554 --> 00:33:18,721 countries have been stepping up on the 940 00:33:18,721 --> 00:33:20,832 draw downside on the sanctions side . 941 00:33:20,832 --> 00:33:23,054 It's not just the US doing all the work 942 00:33:23,054 --> 00:33:25,277 and I think that that is something that 943 00:33:25,277 --> 00:33:25,210 you would see factored into whatever 944 00:33:25,210 --> 00:33:29,130 the response will be and 945 00:33:29,130 --> 00:33:31,297 we'll go over to Tony Capasso A couple 946 00:33:31,297 --> 00:33:33,519 of questions . One for the animal , one 947 00:33:33,519 --> 00:33:35,630 for you . What was the real growth in 948 00:33:35,630 --> 00:33:35,420 the budget and the nominal growth from 949 00:33:35,420 --> 00:33:39,290 the enacted to the 773 . The 950 00:33:39,290 --> 00:33:42,290 growth the nominal growth in the budget 951 00:33:42,350 --> 00:33:45,750 answer this first was was 4% from what 952 00:33:45,750 --> 00:33:47,770 congress enacted 8% from what we 953 00:33:47,770 --> 00:33:51,430 requested and and the real growth was 954 00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:54,070 about 5.5% from what was enacted , 955 00:33:54,070 --> 00:33:57,080 about 1.5% from , I'm sorry about 5.5% 956 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,080 from what was requested last year , 957 00:33:59,080 --> 00:34:02,130 about 1.5% from what was enacted . Of 958 00:34:02,130 --> 00:34:04,330 course we did not know what the , what 959 00:34:04,330 --> 00:34:06,386 the enacted numbers would be when we 960 00:34:06,386 --> 00:34:08,497 finished the budget . That wasn't the 961 00:34:08,497 --> 00:34:08,140 basis of our metric . That wasn't our 962 00:34:08,140 --> 00:34:10,350 metric in any case was to have a , you 963 00:34:10,350 --> 00:34:12,406 know , specific real growth number . 964 00:34:12,406 --> 00:34:14,350 But that's that's the way the math 965 00:34:14,350 --> 00:34:16,517 worked out layman's language . The 773 966 00:34:16,517 --> 00:34:19,030 budget represents about 1.5% real 967 00:34:19,030 --> 00:34:21,030 growth in defense spending over the 968 00:34:21,030 --> 00:34:23,252 enacted budget . Yes . So you have last 969 00:34:23,252 --> 00:34:25,252 year's number inflated and then add 970 00:34:25,252 --> 00:34:27,640 1.5% on top of that . That's correct . 971 00:34:28,430 --> 00:34:31,300 The F 35 number was supposed to be 94 972 00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:33,702 they fit above a couple of years ago at 973 00:34:33,702 --> 00:34:35,940 61 . Now from a joint perspective , why 974 00:34:35,940 --> 00:34:38,300 the cut of 33 airplanes ? Is this 975 00:34:38,310 --> 00:34:40,840 reflection of the services backing off 976 00:34:40,850 --> 00:34:42,750 because of sustainment costs , 977 00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,150 projections Or shifting into other 978 00:34:45,150 --> 00:34:47,372 priorities ? I mean why the reduction ? 979 00:34:47,372 --> 00:34:49,428 So I mean first of all that's that's 980 00:34:49,428 --> 00:34:51,820 that number compared to where it was 84 981 00:34:51,820 --> 00:34:53,876 was what we had originally and we're 982 00:34:53,876 --> 00:34:55,820 down to 61 now . So obviously what 983 00:34:55,820 --> 00:34:58,230 we're looking for is where the F35 fits 984 00:34:58,230 --> 00:35:00,286 in that portfolio this year . We had 985 00:35:00,286 --> 00:35:02,397 When we looked at the F- 35 , what do 986 00:35:02,397 --> 00:35:04,230 we need mostly is the block four 987 00:35:04,230 --> 00:35:06,119 capability ? There have been some 988 00:35:06,119 --> 00:35:08,119 delays in the F- 35 . And again the 989 00:35:08,119 --> 00:35:09,786 delays have also delayed that 990 00:35:09,786 --> 00:35:12,000 capability that we want . Uh So we we 991 00:35:12,010 --> 00:35:14,600 took this opportunity in this budget to 992 00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:16,711 kind of shape it uh in the attack air 993 00:35:16,711 --> 00:35:18,460 portfolio you do see the some 994 00:35:18,460 --> 00:35:21,570 additional F 15 E . X ads , you've also 995 00:35:21,570 --> 00:35:23,570 got , you know , we look across the 996 00:35:23,570 --> 00:35:25,681 Joint Force attack air portfolio writ 997 00:35:25,681 --> 00:35:27,737 large .

That 1013 00:35:54,510 --> 00:35:56,720 money that didn't go into the 84 or 94 1014 00:35:56,720 --> 00:35:59,040 F 35 . But we didn't actually take it 1015 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,207 from one and put in the other . But as 1016 00:36:01,207 --> 00:36:03,373 you look at it , uh , collectively , I 1017 00:36:03,373 --> 00:36:03,290 mean we focused on investments we 1018 00:36:03,290 --> 00:36:05,350 needed in this budget .

I mean the 1044 00:37:10,930 --> 00:37:13,041 one of the problems we had originally 1045 00:37:13,041 --> 00:37:15,180 that we were under C R r r r r budget 1046 00:37:15,180 --> 00:37:17,180 was depressed already . So now that 1047 00:37:17,180 --> 00:37:19,291 we've gotten our funding in place and 1048 00:37:19,291 --> 00:37:21,402 the specific funding we asked for for 1049 00:37:21,402 --> 00:37:23,624 the initial deployment , we've got some 1050 00:37:23,624 --> 00:37:25,902 breathing room to assess going forward . 1051 00:37:25,902 --> 00:37:27,902 Now if we have to handle additional 1052 00:37:27,902 --> 00:37:29,958 cost by reprogramming obviously that 1053 00:37:29,958 --> 00:37:32,124 we're gonna have to get to that in the 1054 00:37:32,124 --> 00:37:34,069 May june timeframe to assess where 1055 00:37:34,069 --> 00:37:36,180 we're looking for if additional funds 1056 00:37:36,180 --> 00:37:38,402 are available that might , you know , I 1057 00:37:38,402 --> 00:37:38,100 don't and I don't know that that would 1058 00:37:38,100 --> 00:37:39,989 be the case . That might buy us a 1059 00:37:39,989 --> 00:37:41,989 little more time . But yeah , we'll 1060 00:37:41,989 --> 00:37:44,156 have to look at this again probably in 1061 00:37:44,156 --> 00:37:46,267 the summer to to be prepared for some 1062 00:37:46,267 --> 00:37:48,378 of the more difficult options . If it 1063 00:37:48,378 --> 00:37:50,322 looks like that's the case , we're 1064 00:37:50,322 --> 00:37:52,433 gonna go back to the phone lines Tony 1065 00:37:52,433 --> 00:37:55,500 Pataca , Thank you very much Tony 1066 00:37:55,500 --> 00:37:57,667 Britannica . Inside defense . I wanted 1067 00:37:57,667 --> 00:38:01,090 to ask more about inflation in terms of 1068 00:38:01,100 --> 00:38:03,211 the fifth step because looking at the 1069 00:38:03,211 --> 00:38:05,211 fit up , it it looks like there was 1070 00:38:05,211 --> 00:38:08,620 sort of a hike between 22 and 23 to 1071 00:38:08,620 --> 00:38:10,620 address inflation and then it seems 1072 00:38:10,620 --> 00:38:12,787 like that the the inflation assumption 1073 00:38:12,787 --> 00:38:15,030 looks like it , it levels off . Can you 1074 00:38:15,030 --> 00:38:17,030 tell me what sort of , you know , I 1075 00:38:17,030 --> 00:38:19,141 understand that that MS Hicks already 1076 00:38:19,141 --> 00:38:21,270 said that uh the fight over inflation 1077 00:38:21,270 --> 00:38:23,381 is going to continue and you're gonna 1078 00:38:23,381 --> 00:38:25,437 be dealing with it over the summer . 1079 00:38:25,437 --> 00:38:25,310 Can you talk a little bit about how the 1080 00:38:25,310 --> 00:38:28,760 pressures of inflation might change the 1081 00:38:28,770 --> 00:38:32,330 fidelity ? Right . Well , 1082 00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:34,842 exactly , as the deputy said , 1083 00:38:34,842 --> 00:38:37,064 inflation is the here and now issue and 1084 00:38:37,064 --> 00:38:39,550 it's it's it's , you know , sort of 1085 00:38:39,550 --> 00:38:42,120 hard to hard to connect it to the 1086 00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,287 projections for the outliers do as you 1087 00:38:44,287 --> 00:38:46,342 say , have the inflation level off , 1088 00:38:46,342 --> 00:38:48,564 have pay raises level off to historical 1089 00:38:48,564 --> 00:38:50,564 norms . We have multiple chances to 1090 00:38:50,564 --> 00:38:52,676 revisit those next year and next year 1091 00:38:52,676 --> 00:38:54,898 and next year as we get closer to those 1092 00:38:54,898 --> 00:38:57,009 to those time frames . So what we did 1093 00:38:57,009 --> 00:38:59,231 was was build the inflation that we saw 1094 00:38:59,231 --> 00:39:01,520 happening now into into a sort of a one 1095 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,687 time step up of each of the five years 1096 00:39:03,687 --> 00:39:05,687 in the fit up . But we did not , we 1097 00:39:05,687 --> 00:39:07,798 don't have an accelerating assumption 1098 00:39:07,798 --> 00:39:09,964 that inflation continues at high rates 1099 00:39:09,964 --> 00:39:12,187 that would have to be revisited if that 1100 00:39:12,187 --> 00:39:14,353 were to be the case . But we're a long 1101 00:39:14,353 --> 00:39:16,409 way off even from figuring out , You 1102 00:39:16,409 --> 00:39:15,630 know from knowing what's going to 1103 00:39:15,630 --> 00:39:19,030 happen in in FY23 , which doesn't start 1104 00:39:19,030 --> 00:39:21,252 for six more months and doesn't end for 1105 00:39:21,252 --> 00:39:23,419 18 more months . I think that's one of 1106 00:39:23,419 --> 00:39:25,641 the real hard things for everyone is to 1107 00:39:25,641 --> 00:39:25,540 separate in your mind what happened 1108 00:39:25,540 --> 00:39:27,540 last month or the month before from 1109 00:39:27,550 --> 00:39:29,661 saying , you know what's gonna happen 1110 00:39:29,661 --> 00:39:32,150 12 months from now . Let alone across 1111 00:39:32,150 --> 00:39:34,261 the fit up . I'm gonna go back to the 1112 00:39:34,261 --> 00:39:36,890 room . Travis . Thanks Travis . Tritt 1113 00:39:36,890 --> 00:39:38,930 military dot com . Um the budget 1114 00:39:38,930 --> 00:39:41,170 materials referred to Russia as an 1115 00:39:41,170 --> 00:39:44,020 acute threat . And I assume that's 1116 00:39:44,030 --> 00:39:45,863 language straight out of the new 1117 00:39:45,863 --> 00:39:48,030 national defense strategy . But in the 1118 00:39:48,030 --> 00:39:50,252 past I believe Russia had been referred 1119 00:39:50,252 --> 00:39:52,197 to as a near peer adversary . So I 1120 00:39:52,197 --> 00:39:54,720 wonder if that new language signals a 1121 00:39:54,730 --> 00:39:58,250 rethinking of the Russian of what 1122 00:39:58,770 --> 00:40:01,540 the rush priority for Russia and where 1123 00:40:01,540 --> 00:40:03,484 rates now ? Is it a higher , lower 1124 00:40:03,484 --> 00:40:05,990 priority ? What what are we to take 1125 00:40:05,990 --> 00:40:08,470 from that language ? Well , I think 1126 00:40:08,480 --> 00:40:10,424 we'd probably want to defer to our 1127 00:40:10,424 --> 00:40:12,480 policy colleagues to explain the nds 1128 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,647 when and if they're able to and I know 1129 00:40:14,647 --> 00:40:16,758 that there's some some classification 1130 00:40:16,758 --> 00:40:18,813 issues there but just to stress what 1131 00:40:18,813 --> 00:40:20,924 what what the admiral and I have been 1132 00:40:20,924 --> 00:40:20,830 saying . And I think what the deputy 1133 00:40:20,830 --> 00:40:23,950 said is is we did not , we did not feel 1134 00:40:23,950 --> 00:40:26,460 that what's happening today altered the 1135 00:40:26,460 --> 00:40:28,682 picture that china is is the number one 1136 00:40:28,682 --> 00:40:31,070 issue to keep our eye on um obviously 1137 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,490 you can draw your own conclusions about 1138 00:40:33,500 --> 00:40:35,722 Russia's performance on the battlefield 1139 00:40:35,722 --> 00:40:38,740 and what you know , But but these 1140 00:40:38,740 --> 00:40:40,962 documents , again , all these documents 1141 00:40:40,962 --> 00:40:43,296 were pretty much finalized sometime ago . 1142 00:40:43,296 --> 00:40:45,462 So this this is not attempting to be a 1143 00:40:45,462 --> 00:40:47,780 commentary on on what's happening last 1144 00:40:47,780 --> 00:40:49,730 week or the week before .

So you'll 1191 00:42:19,304 --> 00:42:21,416 see some granularity both from us and 1192 00:42:21,416 --> 00:42:23,360 from the Pay com Commander on that 1193 00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,527 front . On the european side . We will 1194 00:42:25,527 --> 00:42:27,638 have a budget budget book out today . 1195 00:42:27,638 --> 00:42:29,804 But these are these are in the case of 1196 00:42:29,804 --> 00:42:31,582 the pacific insurance . This is 1197 00:42:31,582 --> 00:42:33,360 something that's been um worked 1198 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:35,082 carefully with the between the 1199 00:42:35,082 --> 00:42:34,930 department of the committee is trying 1200 00:42:34,930 --> 00:42:37,152 to get people on the same page in terms 1201 00:42:37,152 --> 00:42:39,319 of what do you count ? What do you not 1202 00:42:39,319 --> 00:42:41,430 count investments west of the days of 1203 00:42:41,430 --> 00:42:43,652 the date line but not but not otherwise 1204 00:42:43,652 --> 00:42:47,300 exercises military construction but 1205 00:42:47,300 --> 00:42:49,467 not , you know , not capabilities like 1206 00:42:49,467 --> 00:42:51,300 submarines that could be applied 1207 00:42:51,300 --> 00:42:53,522 worldwide . So I think that we've we're 1208 00:42:53,522 --> 00:42:55,467 coming to closure I think with the 1209 00:42:55,467 --> 00:42:55,180 committees on what the , what the , 1210 00:42:55,190 --> 00:42:58,280 what the concepts are there . Um , 1211 00:42:58,290 --> 00:43:00,234 investment in Guam as we discussed 1212 00:43:00,234 --> 00:43:02,457 earlier was is a big part of it in this 1213 00:43:02,457 --> 00:43:04,512 case , european deterrence really is 1214 00:43:04,512 --> 00:43:06,623 pretty similar to what you would have 1215 00:43:06,623 --> 00:43:08,846 seen over the last couple of years . Um 1216 00:43:08,846 --> 00:43:11,068 mhm There's there's not , there's not a 1217 00:43:11,068 --> 00:43:13,123 fundamental change in that . Maybe a 1218 00:43:13,123 --> 00:43:15,290 little additional security cooperation 1219 00:43:15,290 --> 00:43:17,290 but not not a definitional change . 1220 00:43:17,290 --> 00:43:19,570 Okay , thank you for your time . That 1221 00:43:19,570 --> 00:43:20,230 concludes our breathing
