Chairman Smith warns Americans of first real threat of land war in Europe

WASHINGTON, 13 May 2022, (TON): Chairman Smith chairs the full committee hearing.

They discuss the Fiscal Year 2023 Budget for the Department of the Army and was joined by Secretary of the Army, Christine Wormuth, and Chief of Staff of the Army, General James McConville.

As we write this year’s NDAA, we must keep in mind the old and new challenges facing us, including the first real threat of land war in Europe since the end of World War II and the rapid growth of risk in the Pacific.

This year’s Army Budget Request attempts to manage risk at an acceptable level, with a mix of investments in modernization, readiness, and end s-trength. We are eager to he-ar from our witnesses what opportunities and challenges are built into their FY 2023 Budget.

This Committee wants to know wh-at help the Army needs to achieve real progress to be-come a force that reliably deters adversaries and is ready, if necessary, to win a twenty-first century conflict.
