Good morning to our witnesses. Thank you for being here with us today.
Iran’s missile and drone attacks on Israel, and the persistent and aggressive actions of China and Russia, are reminders that we need a strong military to deter war, protect U.S. interests, and when necessary, win in conflict.
The Defense Subcommittee will come to order.
Today, the Subcommittee will receive testimony from: Lloyd Austin, the Secretary of Defense; General C.Q. Brown, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; and Mike McCord, the Undersecretary of Defense for Comptroller.
The Department of Defense is requesting $833 billion within this Subcommittee’s jurisdiction for fiscal year 2025. This is one percent higher than the fiscal year 2024 enacted level, and would keep Defense spending within the cap imposed by the Fiscal Responsibility Act.
