So , 00:44.799 --> 00:46.910 Good afternoon , a Major General paul 00:46.910 --> 00:46.530 Chamberlin , the director of the army 00:46.530 --> 00:48.750 budget . And today I'll present an 00:48.750 --> 00:50.980 overview of the United States armies fy 00:50.980 --> 00:53.850 22 budget request which when funded 00:53.860 --> 00:55.880 ensures the army can accomplish its 00:55.880 --> 00:57.769 mission in support of the interim 00:57.769 --> 01:00.120 national security strategic guidance 01:00.120 --> 01:02.231 and supports the army's priorities of 01:02.231 --> 01:04.287 people readiness and modernization , 01:04.287 --> 01:06.398 defending the nation , supporting our 01:06.398 --> 01:08.398 people , meeting current and future 01:08.398 --> 01:10.398 readiness goals and modernizing the 01:10.398 --> 01:12.560 force requires timely and predictable 01:12.570 --> 01:14.626 funding commensurate with the Army's 01:14.626 --> 01:16.880 requirements . I'll begin this 01:16.880 --> 01:18.936 afternoon by showing how the army is 01:18.936 --> 01:21.102 linked with the secretary of Defense's 01:21.102 --> 01:23.102 priorities and messages and how the 01:23.102 --> 01:25.047 army supports the interim security 01:25.047 --> 01:26.936 strategic guidance . Then it will 01:26.936 --> 01:29.360 provide a strategic overview , followed 01:29.360 --> 01:31.527 by an appropriation view of the army's 01:31.527 --> 01:33.471 request , highlighting several key 01:33.471 --> 01:35.680 areas . Finally , as time permits , 01:35.950 --> 01:38.006 I'll answer your questions about the 01:38.006 --> 01:41.810 budget . The army prioritizes people 01:41.820 --> 01:44.000 readiness and modernization , which is 01:44.000 --> 01:46.222 aligned with the Secretary of Defense's 01:46.222 --> 01:48.444 themes of defend the nation . Take care 01:48.444 --> 01:50.333 of our people and succeed through 01:50.333 --> 01:52.500 teamwork , innovate and modernized and 01:52.500 --> 01:54.722 maintain and enhance military readiness 01:54.722 --> 01:56.833 to meet the army mission as described 01:56.833 --> 01:59.056 in the international , in the interim , 01:59.056 --> 02:01.222 national security strategic guidance . 02:01.222 --> 02:03.389 This budget request is strategy driven 02:03.389 --> 02:03.330 and requirements based with the 02:03.330 --> 02:05.497 foundation of the army budget built on 02:05.497 --> 02:07.720 the army's priorities . People are the 02:07.720 --> 02:10.130 army's most important component and the 02:10.130 --> 02:12.297 key to the army , meaning the changing 02:12.297 --> 02:14.408 needs of the nation . The strength of 02:14.408 --> 02:16.574 the total force and its readiness were 02:16.574 --> 02:18.463 demonstrated in responding to the 02:18.463 --> 02:21.500 COVID-19 and in responding to COVID-19 02:21.510 --> 02:23.730 and in supporting the security events 02:23.740 --> 02:27.050 of this past year . The resources in 02:27.050 --> 02:28.939 this budget continue to build and 02:28.939 --> 02:31.090 sustain tactical operational and 02:31.090 --> 02:33.500 strategic levels of readiness . Looking 02:33.500 --> 02:36.020 at modernization , the FY 22 funding 02:36.030 --> 02:38.750 request continues our transformation 02:40.840 --> 02:43.160 in modernizing the army to deploy fight 02:43.170 --> 02:47.050 and win in all domains as we pivot from 02:47.050 --> 02:49.050 the incremental improvements to our 02:49.050 --> 02:51.161 enduring systems to the revolutionary 02:51.161 --> 02:53.990 to the revolutionary capabilities of 02:53.990 --> 02:57.000 new systems that are consistent with 02:57.000 --> 02:58.500 the objectives of the army 02:58.500 --> 03:00.960 modernization strategy . Mhm . 03:03.640 --> 03:05.751 We will leverage the consolidation of 03:05.751 --> 03:07.584 the efforts provided by the Army 03:07.584 --> 03:08.584 Futures Command . 03:17.140 --> 03:20.980 Mhm . We are already 03:20.980 --> 03:22.980 benefiting from the unity of effort 03:22.980 --> 03:25.202 provided by Army Futures Command in the 03:25.202 --> 03:27.313 speed of delivering such capabilities 03:27.313 --> 03:29.536 as long range precision fires , air and 03:29.536 --> 03:31.702 missile defense and soldier legalities 03:32.040 --> 03:34.096 as well as in the pace of developing 03:34.096 --> 03:36.207 the next generation combat vehicles , 03:36.207 --> 03:39.010 future vertical lift and the army 03:39.010 --> 03:40.010 network . 03:43.140 --> 03:45.470 America does not fight alone . The FY 03:45.470 --> 03:47.830 22 budget request ensures we continue 03:47.830 --> 03:49.663 to foster existing alliances and 03:49.663 --> 03:51.552 partnerships while simultaneously 03:51.552 --> 03:53.663 building new relationships . The army 03:53.663 --> 03:55.663 continues to resource international 03:55.663 --> 03:57.552 engagement programs , partnership 03:57.552 --> 03:59.608 exercises and specific in europe and 03:59.608 --> 04:01.663 through the employment over security 04:01.663 --> 04:03.886 force assistance brigades to enable the 04:03.886 --> 04:05.997 army to build partner nation capacity 04:05.997 --> 04:08.390 and strengthen relationships . Now 04:08.390 --> 04:10.557 we'll take a look at your army today . 04:11.400 --> 04:13.567 The army remains prepared to provide a 04:13.567 --> 04:15.490 ready force to fight and win the 04:15.490 --> 04:17.434 nation's wars . As a member of the 04:17.434 --> 04:19.890 joint force , We are globally engaged 04:19.890 --> 04:22.810 with approximately 170,000 soldiers 04:22.820 --> 04:25.470 serving in 140 countries around the 04:25.470 --> 04:27.637 world and supporting Combatant Command 04:27.637 --> 04:30.690 requirements . Simultanes , over 40,000 04:30.690 --> 04:33.110 soldiers have supported the nation's 04:33.110 --> 04:35.760 call , responding to COVID-19 pandemic , 04:37.440 --> 04:39.607 working as well as working to make the 04:39.607 --> 04:41.773 Southwest border secure and responding 04:41.773 --> 04:43.773 to civil authority requirements for 04:43.773 --> 04:45.940 assistance and also including soldiers 04:45.940 --> 04:47.996 who are augmenting emergency service 04:47.996 --> 04:50.218 response for increased array of natural 04:50.218 --> 04:54.070 disasters . As requirements 04:54.070 --> 04:56.237 abroad and home continue to increase . 04:56.510 --> 04:58.732 The army remains prepared to meet these 04:58.732 --> 05:00.510 extraordinary demands . We must 05:00.510 --> 05:02.621 continue to prepare forces to compete 05:02.621 --> 05:04.621 and win against near pier strategic 05:04.621 --> 05:07.000 competitors in the indo pacific and 05:07.000 --> 05:10.020 european theaters . Currently , the 05:10.020 --> 05:11.964 arctic has become a new geographic 05:11.964 --> 05:14.020 theater for competition and the army 05:14.020 --> 05:16.187 stands ready to meet new challenges in 05:16.187 --> 05:17.909 that region . Even as the army 05:17.909 --> 05:20.131 continues to play a significant role in 05:20.131 --> 05:22.420 the Middle East and Asia , we must also 05:22.420 --> 05:24.800 posture to combat borderless cyber 05:24.800 --> 05:26.490 threats that continue to pose 05:26.490 --> 05:28.268 significant national and global 05:28.268 --> 05:30.320 security concerns . This request 05:30.320 --> 05:32.376 supports the further development and 05:32.376 --> 05:34.487 crucial defensive and offensive cyber 05:34.487 --> 05:36.709 capabilities . The army has been tasked 05:36.709 --> 05:38.820 to provide in defense of the nation . 05:38.820 --> 05:41.042 The army must also confront from within 05:41.042 --> 05:44.210 further resourcing the people first 05:44.210 --> 05:47.110 task force to combat extremism , racism , 05:47.120 --> 05:49.540 sexism and sexual harassment and sexual 05:49.540 --> 05:51.940 assault in our formations . This is an 05:51.940 --> 05:54.090 emphasis for army leaders , the 05:54.090 --> 05:56.257 secretary of the army and the chief of 05:56.257 --> 05:58.201 staff of the Army are committed to 05:58.201 --> 06:00.312 providing a force that remains strong 06:00.312 --> 06:02.479 and ready , focused on winning against 06:02.479 --> 06:04.590 any adversary anytime and anywhere in 06:04.590 --> 06:07.580 support of the nation's interests . Now , 06:07.580 --> 06:09.730 let's look at the budget . Before we 06:09.730 --> 06:11.952 get into the fy 22 requests , I want to 06:11.952 --> 06:14.200 do two things . First expressed the 06:14.200 --> 06:16.200 army's appreciation of Congress for 06:16.200 --> 06:18.422 their continued support of the army and 06:18.422 --> 06:20.422 especially for their support of the 06:20.422 --> 06:21.922 army's efforts to fund its 06:21.922 --> 06:24.089 modernization priorities over the last 06:24.089 --> 06:26.311 three years . And secondly , to explain 06:26.311 --> 06:28.422 a significant budget change in the FY 06:28.422 --> 06:30.533 22 budget . The FY 22 marks the first 06:30.533 --> 06:32.422 year since 2009 . That the budget 06:32.422 --> 06:34.644 request consists of base funding . Only 06:34.840 --> 06:36.920 The president's FY 22 discretionary 06:36.920 --> 06:38.980 budget discontinues the overseas 06:38.980 --> 06:41.036 contingency operations as a separate 06:41.036 --> 06:43.450 fund and now embeds direct war and 06:43.450 --> 06:45.460 enduring cost in the base budget . 06:46.540 --> 06:48.762 Therefore , for presentation purposes , 06:48.762 --> 06:50.873 on this summary slide , I have broken 06:50.873 --> 06:53.040 out what would have been identified as 06:53.040 --> 06:55.262 cocoa into the categories of direct war 06:55.262 --> 06:58.150 and enduring costs . Direct war costs 06:58.150 --> 07:00.317 include operation , inherent resolve , 07:00.317 --> 07:02.428 counter Isil train and equip fund and 07:02.428 --> 07:04.483 the Afghanistan security Forces Fund 07:04.483 --> 07:06.594 enduring costs include such things as 07:06.594 --> 07:08.761 the european deterrence initiative and 07:08.761 --> 07:10.928 other theater requirements . Now , I'd 07:10.928 --> 07:13.760 like to focus you on the top line . The 07:13.760 --> 07:17.060 Army's 22 budget request is $173 07:17.060 --> 07:19.220 billion , including $10.4 billion 07:19.220 --> 07:22.960 $8 billion dollars for enduring 07:22.960 --> 07:25.210 costs . There will be a slide later in 07:25.210 --> 07:27.432 the brief , dedicated to the direct war 07:27.432 --> 07:30.370 and enduring costs Back to the top line 07:30.370 --> 07:33.620 of $173 billion , which is about $3.6 07:33.620 --> 07:37.480 billion FY21 enacted levels , in 07:37.480 --> 07:39.424 part due to the known reduction of 07:39.424 --> 07:41.424 requirements in the centcom area of 07:41.424 --> 07:43.480 responsibility . However , there are 07:43.480 --> 07:45.313 other reductions in research and 07:45.313 --> 07:47.091 development and the acquisition 07:47.091 --> 07:49.258 programs which were required to ensure 07:49.258 --> 07:51.424 the army funded its highest priorities 07:51.424 --> 07:53.202 and people and in readiness and 07:53.202 --> 07:55.536 modernization . Even with the reduction , 07:55.536 --> 07:57.758 the army stays committed to modernizing 07:57.758 --> 07:59.869 the force against future threats . As 07:59.869 --> 08:01.813 army leaders were required to make 08:01.813 --> 08:03.813 deliberate decisions on programs to 08:03.813 --> 08:06.036 eliminate or reduce funding in order to 08:06.036 --> 08:07.813 focus on people and protect our 08:07.813 --> 08:09.813 modernization priorities . The army 08:09.813 --> 08:11.869 made prudent trades in order to feel 08:11.869 --> 08:13.758 the best possible army within the 08:13.758 --> 08:17.690 budget . Using an appropriation 08:17.690 --> 08:19.912 view of the army's based budget request 08:19.912 --> 08:22.630 of $173 billion you can see a decrease 08:22.630 --> 08:25.190 of about 2% from the fy 21 enacted 08:25.190 --> 08:27.480 appropriations . This funding total 08:27.480 --> 08:29.202 reflects the combined resource 08:29.202 --> 08:31.313 requirements for all three components 08:31.313 --> 08:33.258 and has mentioned earlier includes 08:33.258 --> 08:35.220 direct and enduring costs . Our 08:35.220 --> 08:38.240 military pay account grew by $1.2 08:38.240 --> 08:40.610 billion . These funds enabled the army 08:40.610 --> 08:44.120 to pay recruit , train , promote and 08:44.120 --> 08:47.030 retain quality soldiers . The 08:47.030 --> 08:48.974 operations and maintenance funding 08:48.974 --> 08:52.280 request declined $700 million FY 21 08:52.280 --> 08:55.140 enacted levels . The decreased funding 08:55.150 --> 08:57.580 reflects the adjusted centcom posture , 08:57.590 --> 08:59.720 a refined training strategy that will 08:59.720 --> 09:01.850 discuss in a later slide . It also 09:01.850 --> 09:04.070 reflects a rate and price increase for 09:04.070 --> 09:06.310 the Army Working Capital Fund and funds 09:06.310 --> 09:08.560 the 2.7% civilian pay raise , 09:09.740 --> 09:11.573 procurement and rD teeny funding 09:11.573 --> 09:14.340 decreased by over $4 billion . But the 09:14.340 --> 09:16.173 army continues its modernization 09:16.173 --> 09:18.396 efforts . The army through Army futures 09:18.396 --> 09:20.284 Command in collaboration with the 09:20.284 --> 09:22.396 assistant secretary for acquisition , 09:22.396 --> 09:24.007 logistics and technology and 09:24.007 --> 09:26.173 specifically with the rapid capability 09:26.173 --> 09:28.396 and critical technologies Office , also 09:28.396 --> 09:30.618 known as rick toe , continues to ensure 09:30.618 --> 09:32.284 the army resources . It's six 09:32.284 --> 09:34.396 modernization priorities supported by 09:34.396 --> 09:36.396 the eight cross functional teams to 09:36.396 --> 09:38.507 meet the army's modernization goals . 09:38.507 --> 09:40.562 The military construction request of 09:40.562 --> 09:42.990 $1.7 billion , supports 30 projects 09:43.000 --> 09:45.870 across all three army components . The 09:45.870 --> 09:48.610 request is a 15% decrease from the fy 09:48.610 --> 09:51.290 21 enacted amount , but as a reminder 09:51.300 --> 09:53.411 that Congress generously provided the 09:53.411 --> 09:55.467 army authority and funding for eight 09:55.467 --> 09:57.900 additional projects valued at $351 09:57.900 --> 10:00.050 million in the fy 21 enacted budget . 10:00.740 --> 10:02.740 The milk on request also includes a 10:02.740 --> 10:05.180 $491 million dollars in army family 10:05.180 --> 10:07.291 housing operations and construction . 10:08.140 --> 10:10.362 From here , we'll begin a more in depth 10:10.362 --> 10:12.529 look at the budget request . Beginning 10:12.529 --> 10:14.362 with the army's and strength and 10:14.362 --> 10:16.529 military pay , The armies and strength 10:16.529 --> 10:19.500 is reduced slightly in Fy 22 . The 10:19.500 --> 10:21.720 total and strength goes down by 1700 10:21.720 --> 10:23.720 soldiers as depicted on the chart . 10:23.720 --> 10:25.776 Even with the reduced and strength , 10:25.776 --> 10:27.998 the army does not anticipate needing to 10:27.998 --> 10:29.998 adjust for structure to accommodate 10:29.998 --> 10:32.164 this small decrease in soldiers . More 10:32.164 --> 10:34.331 importantly though , the requested and 10:34.331 --> 10:36.442 strength will still allow the army to 10:36.442 --> 10:38.553 fill units and to begin providing new 10:38.553 --> 10:40.720 capabilities designed to face emerging 10:40.720 --> 10:42.609 threats and support the joint all 10:42.609 --> 10:44.887 Domain force . However , in the future , 10:44.887 --> 10:46.776 moderate growth to the armies and 10:46.776 --> 10:48.831 strength may still be needed to meet 10:48.831 --> 10:50.776 modernization and worldwide demand 10:50.776 --> 10:53.650 requirements . Military personnel 10:53.650 --> 10:56.110 accounts comprise the largest portion 10:56.120 --> 10:59.000 of the army's based budget . The Fy 20 10:59.000 --> 11:02.200 to request of $66.2 billion is an 11:02.210 --> 11:05.580 increase of $1.2 billion from the Fy 21 11:05.580 --> 11:07.580 enacted levels and accounts for the 11:07.580 --> 11:09.590 rate adjustments .

This will ensure the army 21:53.521 --> 21:55.521 has the right people with the right 21:55.521 --> 21:57.410 systems appropriately enabled and 21:57.410 --> 21:59.410 integrated to support the joint all 21:59.410 --> 22:02.990 domain fight over the next few slides . 22:03.000 --> 22:05.222 I will highlight how our budget request 22:05.222 --> 22:07.333 supports army priorities in R . D . T 22:07.333 --> 22:10.480 and E and procurement . Let's start 22:10.480 --> 22:12.536 with the Army's $12.8 billion dollar 22:12.536 --> 22:14.702 research test and evaluation request . 22:15.540 --> 22:17.596 This funding accelerates incremental 22:17.596 --> 22:19.670 upgrades to enduring systems , 22:20.040 --> 22:22.207 delivering greater capabilities to our 22:22.207 --> 22:24.373 soldiers sooner and advances , cutting 22:24.373 --> 22:26.429 edge technologies that will generate 22:26.429 --> 22:28.484 the decision dominance and overmatch 22:28.484 --> 22:30.540 required to win the next fight . The 22:30.540 --> 22:32.651 army science and technology portfolio 22:32.651 --> 22:34.429 is a crucial part of the army's 22:34.429 --> 22:36.800 modernization strategy , with 74% of 22:36.800 --> 22:38.940 the S and T budget aligned to the six 22:38.940 --> 22:41.520 modernization priorities . The Army's S 22:41.520 --> 22:43.409 and T investment strategy seeks a 22:43.409 --> 22:45.330 balanced portfolio aligned to 22:45.330 --> 22:47.310 modernization priorities while 22:47.310 --> 22:49.460 maintaining exploratory research to 22:49.460 --> 22:51.682 ensure technological advantage and lays 22:51.682 --> 22:54.016 the groundwork for revolutionary change . 22:54.640 --> 22:56.880 A few featured examples of our top rd 22:56.880 --> 22:59.340 teeny investment areas are the long 22:59.340 --> 23:01.396 range hypersonic weapon , which will 23:01.396 --> 23:03.618 provide the army of prototype strategic 23:03.618 --> 23:06.120 attack weapon to defeat anti access 23:06.130 --> 23:08.480 area denial capabilities , suppress 23:08.480 --> 23:10.920 adversary long range fires and engage 23:10.920 --> 23:13.290 other high payoff time critical targets . 23:13.840 --> 23:15.896 The Army is working closely with the 23:15.896 --> 23:17.951 Navy and the development of the long 23:17.951 --> 23:20.062 range hypersonic weapon . The mission 23:20.062 --> 23:22.062 of the mid range capability missile 23:22.062 --> 23:23.840 project is to provide combatant 23:23.840 --> 23:25.896 commanders with the strategic ground 23:25.896 --> 23:27.951 mobile all weather offensive missile 23:27.951 --> 23:31.170 capability , future vertical lift . The 23:31.170 --> 23:33.003 future vertical lift Development 23:33.003 --> 23:35.120 focuses on future long range assault 23:35.130 --> 23:36.710 aircraft and future attack 23:36.710 --> 23:38.950 reconnaissance aircraft , both critical 23:38.950 --> 23:41.290 capabilities to meet combatant command 23:41.290 --> 23:43.290 requirements needed for deterrence 23:43.300 --> 23:45.260 power projection and tactical 23:45.260 --> 23:47.300 capabilities at operational and 23:47.300 --> 23:49.980 strategic distances . The lower tier 23:49.980 --> 23:52.147 air missile Defense capability program 23:52.147 --> 23:54.369 will provide the joint force to require 23:54.369 --> 23:56.591 sensing capabilities , surveillance and 23:56.591 --> 23:58.536 fire control . As part of the Army 23:58.536 --> 24:00.480 Integrated air and Missile defense 24:00.480 --> 24:03.610 network in Fy 22 R . D . T . Any 24:03.610 --> 24:05.340 investments support the army's 24:05.340 --> 24:07.660 modernization priorities through early 24:07.660 --> 24:09.850 integration of concepts , prototyping 24:09.850 --> 24:11.461 and testing to ensure future 24:11.461 --> 24:13.628 generations of soldiers continue to be 24:13.628 --> 24:15.739 the most lethal fighting force in the 24:15.739 --> 24:17.739 world . I'll move on to procurement 24:17.739 --> 24:20.540 next . Yeah . 24:21.640 --> 24:23.960 As of the 31 plus four signature 24:23.960 --> 24:26.440 efforts , mature funding will shift 24:26.440 --> 24:29.500 from R . D . T . Any to procurement The 24:29.500 --> 24:31.389 army through deliberate decisions 24:31.389 --> 24:33.167 during night court deep dives , 24:33.167 --> 24:35.320 eliminated or reduced more than 240 24:35.320 --> 24:37.376 programs to free free up billions of 24:37.376 --> 24:40.240 dollars for modernization efforts . The 24:40.240 --> 24:42.240 Army expects modernisation costs to 24:42.240 --> 24:44.184 increase as systems enter low rate 24:44.184 --> 24:46.407 initial production and then procurement 24:46.407 --> 24:49.920 and fielding the army's Fy 22 requests 24:49.930 --> 24:52.800 of $21.3 billion for procurement is 24:52.800 --> 24:56.120 about $2.8 billion less than our Fy 21 24:56.120 --> 24:58.730 enacted funding through a deliberate 24:58.730 --> 25:01.190 process . We prioritize modernization 25:01.190 --> 25:02.912 efforts while having to adjust 25:02.912 --> 25:04.468 production of some enduring 25:04.468 --> 25:08.020 capabilities . The FY 22 Army aircraft 25:08.020 --> 25:11.360 request decreased by over $1.2 billion . 25:11.740 --> 25:13.851 A request is consistent with the army 25:13.851 --> 25:16.470 aviation modernization strategy . We 25:16.470 --> 25:18.637 were adjusting production rate for the 25:18.637 --> 25:20.303 Black Hawk and for the Apache 25:20.303 --> 25:22.359 helicopters in order to continue the 25:22.359 --> 25:24.581 development of the future vertical lift 25:24.581 --> 25:26.414 aircraft , were also maintaining 25:26.414 --> 25:28.526 chinook buys for special operations . 25:28.526 --> 25:31.130 The Fy 22 missile appropriation shows 25:31.130 --> 25:33.580 the impact of army modernization reform 25:33.590 --> 25:35.646 and the utilization of congressional 25:35.646 --> 25:37.701 approved authorities . To accelerate 25:37.701 --> 25:40.034 the procurement cycle . In this request , 25:40.034 --> 25:42.257 we asked to increase procurement of the 25:42.257 --> 25:44.257 precision strike missile , initiate 25:44.257 --> 25:46.368 procurement of the lower tier air and 25:46.368 --> 25:48.590 missile defense system while sustaining 25:48.590 --> 25:50.757 the relevancy of the patriot system As 25:50.757 --> 25:52.868 part of the FY 22 weapons and tracked 25:52.868 --> 25:55.090 combat vehicle appropriation . The Army 25:55.090 --> 25:56.979 continues mobility protection and 25:56.979 --> 25:59.040 lethality upgrades for the striker , 25:59.050 --> 26:01.600 Abrams and Bradley platforms while 26:01.600 --> 26:03.656 requesting to start low rate initial 26:03.656 --> 26:05.620 production for 24 mobile protected 26:05.620 --> 26:08.550 firepower systems . Additionally , our 26:08.550 --> 26:10.717 request supports the transition of the 26:10.717 --> 26:12.939 palette in integrated management system 26:12.940 --> 26:15.060 to fall to the full rate production . 26:16.240 --> 26:18.580 The Fy 22 ammunition appropriation 26:18.590 --> 26:20.812 funding request , supports training and 26:20.812 --> 26:22.923 war reserve munitions for current and 26:22.923 --> 26:25.034 next generation weapons . The program 26:25.034 --> 26:27.090 decreases , were informed by updated 26:27.090 --> 26:29.201 training requirements while increases 26:29.201 --> 26:31.368 in facility improvements paved the way 26:31.368 --> 26:33.590 for manufacturing . The next generation 26:33.590 --> 26:35.479 of small arms has overseen by the 26:35.479 --> 26:37.750 soldier lethality CFT . In fiscal year 26:37.750 --> 26:39.830 22 . The other procurement army 26:39.840 --> 26:42.140 appropriation supports enduring 26:42.140 --> 26:44.390 capabilities as well as the network 26:44.400 --> 26:46.456 soldier legality and air and missile 26:46.456 --> 26:49.510 defense modernization priorities . The 26:49.510 --> 26:51.700 focus on army network is necessary to 26:51.700 --> 26:53.700 improve sensor and shooter response 26:53.700 --> 26:55.922 times and enhance command and control . 26:55.922 --> 26:58.790 Forces distribute across vast distances 26:58.800 --> 27:01.470 in contested environments . The Army 27:01.470 --> 27:03.637 network supports project convergence . 27:03.670 --> 27:05.960 The army's path to combine joint all 27:05.960 --> 27:08.850 domain operations . A unified network 27:08.850 --> 27:10.906 insurers interoperability across the 27:10.906 --> 27:13.470 joint force and is critical to enabling 27:13.470 --> 27:15.581 the rapid transfer of data in a multi 27:15.581 --> 27:18.540 domain operation environment . Major 27:18.540 --> 27:21.330 unified networks in the Fy 22 open 27:21.330 --> 27:24.750 requests include handheld man pack , 27:24.760 --> 27:26.930 small form fit radios which are 27:26.930 --> 27:28.874 scheduled for full rate production 27:28.874 --> 27:31.041 decision in the fourth quarter of this 27:31.041 --> 27:33.152 year and the Fy 22 funds will support 27:33.152 --> 27:35.152 procurement of leader radio and man 27:35.152 --> 27:37.319 pack radios that will be fielded in Fy 27:37.319 --> 27:40.510 23 . Open funding supports the soldier 27:40.510 --> 27:42.732 lethality modernization efforts , which 27:42.732 --> 27:44.510 will increase the capability of 27:44.510 --> 27:46.566 individual soldier weapons , provide 27:46.566 --> 27:48.788 soldiers with enhanced night vision and 27:48.788 --> 27:50.732 increases their ability to quickly 27:50.732 --> 27:52.566 understand and react to emerging 27:52.566 --> 27:54.621 situations , increasing their lethal 27:54.621 --> 27:56.566 itty precision and survivability . 27:56.740 --> 27:58.907 These efforts will be complimentary to 27:58.907 --> 28:01.129 ongoing soldier performance initiatives 28:01.129 --> 28:03.073 to improve fitness , nutrition and 28:03.073 --> 28:05.320 resiliency to ensure we are modernizing 28:05.320 --> 28:07.380 the soldier , not just the equipment 28:07.390 --> 28:08.460 for our soldiers . 28:11.840 --> 28:13.729 This chart provides a snapshot of 28:13.729 --> 28:15.729 select procurement programs and the 28:15.729 --> 28:17.896 requested quantities . I'll give you a 28:17.896 --> 28:19.507 moment to review the chart , 28:29.240 --> 28:32.000 moving on to facilities . The army's 28:32.000 --> 28:34.180 infrastructure is critical , is a 28:34.180 --> 28:36.180 critical aspect of army readiness . 28:36.640 --> 28:38.530 Army senior leaders recognize our 28:38.530 --> 28:40.752 soldiers , civilians and their families 28:40.752 --> 28:42.808 should be afforded a quality of life 28:42.808 --> 28:45.141 commensurate to their dedicated service . 28:45.141 --> 28:47.440 The Fy 20 to request includes army 28:47.440 --> 28:49.273 housing and barracks initiatives 28:49.273 --> 28:51.551 through the Army Housing Campaign Plan , 28:51.551 --> 28:53.718 which is focused on shaping policies , 28:53.718 --> 28:55.850 procedures and processes throughout 28:55.860 --> 28:59.360 army installations . The army's Fy 22 28:59.360 --> 29:01.193 military construction and family 29:01.193 --> 29:03.120 housing budget request addresses 29:03.120 --> 29:04.676 housing requirements and re 29:04.676 --> 29:07.250 recapitalization needs , requesting 29:07.250 --> 29:10.520 over $262 million for five barracks 29:10.520 --> 29:12.870 initiatives across the army enterprise . 29:13.070 --> 29:15.126 $100 million for barracks and dining 29:15.126 --> 29:17.860 facilities in Grafenwoehr Germany 31 29:17.860 --> 29:19.693 construction projects on various 29:19.693 --> 29:22.320 installations and $3.3 million dollars 29:22.330 --> 29:24.219 to hire exceptional family member 29:24.219 --> 29:26.441 program case managers and several other 29:26.441 --> 29:28.663 initiatives focused on the oversight of 29:28.663 --> 29:30.830 army family housing , construction and 29:30.830 --> 29:32.980 repair . The army's BRAC funding 29:32.980 --> 29:35.320 request supports environmental clean up 29:35.330 --> 29:37.710 restoration and conveyance of excess 29:37.710 --> 29:39.700 properties at locations designated 29:39.700 --> 29:42.810 under previous BRAC rounds . Fy 22 29:42.810 --> 29:45.420 requests , funds keep planned cleanup 29:45.420 --> 29:47.440 efforts on track and prioritize 29:47.450 --> 29:50.490 installations which include four Toward 29:50.500 --> 29:53.030 Fort Wingate , the Placebo Chemical 29:53.040 --> 29:56.030 Depot , Lone Star Army ammunition plant 29:56.040 --> 29:58.170 and Fort Devins massachusetts . 30:00.340 --> 30:02.173 The Army's fiscal year 22 budget 30:02.173 --> 30:04.229 requests includes other requirements 30:04.229 --> 30:06.062 that are funded outside our main 30:06.062 --> 30:08.118 appropriations . This year's request 30:08.118 --> 30:10.229 includes $228 million dollars for the 30:10.229 --> 30:12.451 Arlington National Cemetery to fund day 30:12.451 --> 30:14.396 to day operations and the southern 30:14.396 --> 30:17.110 expansion of the cemetery . The army is 30:17.110 --> 30:19.277 also requesting over a billion dollars 30:19.277 --> 30:21.388 to support the congressional mandated 30:21.388 --> 30:23.110 Department of Defense chemical 30:23.110 --> 30:25.277 demilitarization program consisting of 30:25.277 --> 30:27.221 the U . S . Army chemical material 30:27.221 --> 30:29.221 activity and the assembled chemical 30:29.221 --> 30:31.930 weapons alternatives program . These 30:31.930 --> 30:34.041 requests also include funding for the 30:34.041 --> 30:35.930 Army Working Capital Fund , which 30:35.930 --> 30:37.310 provides a $323 million 30:37.310 --> 30:42.170 22 . 30:43.710 --> 30:45.877 The last funding topic I'll discuss is 30:45.877 --> 30:47.877 the direct war and enduring costs . 30:48.140 --> 30:50.440 Since 2001 , the Army has managed 30:50.440 --> 30:52.730 funding for large overseas contingency 30:52.730 --> 30:55.830 operations or oco budgets . Contingency 30:55.830 --> 30:57.830 operations by their nature are very 30:57.830 --> 30:59.941 dynamic and can change quickly and as 30:59.941 --> 31:01.860 such , both adequate funding and 31:01.860 --> 31:03.693 sufficient transfer authority is 31:03.693 --> 31:05.804 required to support these contingency 31:05.804 --> 31:08.027 operations . As I stated earlier in the 31:08.027 --> 31:10.150 brief , a big change in Fy 22 is how 31:10.150 --> 31:12.317 the funding that was formerly known as 31:12.317 --> 31:14.540 OKO is accounted for in the Fy 22 31:14.540 --> 31:17.620 budget . What were once OCO funding 31:17.620 --> 31:19.398 requirements are now funded and 31:19.398 --> 31:21.342 accounted for in the categories of 31:21.342 --> 31:23.398 direct war and enduring costs in the 31:23.398 --> 31:25.660 base budget . The army is requesting 31:25.660 --> 31:26.750 over $18 billion 31:26.750 --> 31:30.060 22 , 31:30.640 --> 31:32.862 part of the army top line decrease as a 31:32.862 --> 31:35.029 result of the previously planned force 31:35.029 --> 31:37.440 posture change in central command area 31:37.440 --> 31:39.850 responsibility , which resulted in 31:39.850 --> 31:42.080 several billion dollar cost reduction . 31:42.540 --> 31:44.730 But what but with the recent decisions 31:44.740 --> 31:47.180 to have forces leave Afghanistan were 31:47.180 --> 31:49.347 determining what those with withdrawal 31:49.347 --> 31:51.513 requirements are and what funding will 31:51.513 --> 31:53.847 be needed to support those requirements . 31:54.140 --> 31:56.251 It is too early to definitively state 31:56.251 --> 31:58.473 what the funding impacts will be to the 31:58.473 --> 32:00.696 army as a result of the withdrawal from 32:00.696 --> 32:03.230 Afghanistan . The army also manages 32:03.230 --> 32:05.341 funding in the Afghan Security Forces 32:05.341 --> 32:07.341 fund and the Counter ISIS train and 32:07.341 --> 32:09.341 equip fund . The army only provides 32:09.341 --> 32:11.508 accounting for these two funds , which 32:11.508 --> 32:13.286 comprise nearly $3.8 billion in 32:13.286 --> 32:15.619 military support of our partner nations . 32:17.840 --> 32:19.729 Now let's take a look at what has 32:19.729 --> 32:21.896 enabled the army to realign funding to 32:21.896 --> 32:23.951 its highest priorities . Through its 32:23.951 --> 32:26.062 reform efforts , the army was able to 32:26.062 --> 32:28.180 free up time money and manpower to 32:28.180 --> 32:30.590 reinvest in other requirements . Army 32:30.590 --> 32:32.810 senior leaders assess programs and 32:32.810 --> 32:36.410 realigned $1.6 billion in Fy 32:36.410 --> 32:38.960 22 applying these savings towards its 32:38.960 --> 32:41.016 people in modernization strategies . 32:41.340 --> 32:43.340 Army energy initiatives are another 32:43.340 --> 32:44.951 reform effort . One of these 32:44.951 --> 32:47.173 initiatives allowed the army to realize 32:47.173 --> 32:50.240 $35 million of energy savings last year , 32:50.250 --> 32:52.472 which were reinvested into other energy 32:52.472 --> 32:54.583 resilient and conservation projects , 32:54.583 --> 32:56.417 as well as M . W . R . And other 32:56.417 --> 32:59.060 quality of life initiatives . Another 32:59.060 --> 33:01.190 ongoing reform effort is the army's 33:01.190 --> 33:04.150 work to obtain audit ability . The army 33:04.150 --> 33:06.317 entered its fourth year of audit in Fy 33:06.317 --> 33:08.310 21 though the army received a 33:08.310 --> 33:10.366 disclaimer of opinion , the auditors 33:10.366 --> 33:12.532 made it a point to note that year over 33:12.532 --> 33:14.421 year , the army continues to make 33:14.421 --> 33:16.143 steady progress to improve its 33:16.143 --> 33:18.366 accountability and its business systems 33:18.366 --> 33:20.588 processes . Other reform initiatives of 33:20.588 --> 33:22.754 note are the ongoing assessment of the 33:22.754 --> 33:24.643 criminal investigation , division 33:24.643 --> 33:26.866 structure and criminal case handling in 33:26.866 --> 33:28.921 order to better support families and 33:28.921 --> 33:31.300 soldiers . Lastly , the command 33:31.300 --> 33:33.350 accountability and execution review 33:33.350 --> 33:35.710 program is also a reform effort the 33:35.710 --> 33:37.877 army has implemented . It is a tool to 33:37.877 --> 33:39.932 assist commanders in improving their 33:39.932 --> 33:41.766 fiscal stewardship by maximizing 33:41.766 --> 33:43.543 purchasing power and minimizing 33:43.543 --> 33:45.432 inefficiencies . This program has 33:45.432 --> 33:47.599 helped to identify and resolve several 33:47.599 --> 33:49.710 areas of concern that affect the Army 33:49.710 --> 33:51.377 and the Department of Defense 33:54.040 --> 33:55.873 because of the Army's aggressive 33:55.873 --> 33:57.984 efforts in the past three years , the 33:57.984 --> 34:00.040 divestitures identified in Fy 22 are 34:00.040 --> 34:02.800 modest only $48 million across seven 34:02.800 --> 34:05.460 programs . However , the army remains 34:05.460 --> 34:07.627 committed to continuing the process of 34:07.627 --> 34:09.682 assessing and realigning funding and 34:09.682 --> 34:11.793 equipment to address requirements for 34:11.793 --> 34:14.016 future capabilities . While the vesting 34:14.016 --> 34:16.238 of less capable equipment that does not 34:16.238 --> 34:18.293 support the joint All Domain force , 34:20.840 --> 34:22.840 I have the privilege of serving the 34:22.840 --> 34:24.673 greatest soldiers , families and 34:24.673 --> 34:26.896 civilians in the world , which is why I 34:26.896 --> 34:29.007 can say your army is prepared to meet 34:29.007 --> 34:28.890 the requirements asked of it in the 34:28.890 --> 34:31.112 interim , national Security , strategic 34:31.112 --> 34:33.001 guidance and as your army remains 34:33.001 --> 34:35.168 engaged in missions around the world , 34:35.168 --> 34:37.390 the army has and will continue to focus 34:37.390 --> 34:39.740 on our first priority people . The 34:39.740 --> 34:41.907 Army's People strategy aims to promote 34:41.907 --> 34:43.796 and build cohesive teams that are 34:43.796 --> 34:46.200 highly trained , disciplined , fit and 34:46.200 --> 34:48.710 ready to fight and win . Furthermore , 34:48.710 --> 34:51.130 the Army people strategy focuses on a 34:51.140 --> 34:53.307 culture of inclusion where everyone is 34:53.307 --> 34:55.820 treated with dignity and respect . In 34:55.820 --> 34:58.070 Fy 22 , the army will transition to a 34:58.070 --> 35:00.200 new unit life cycle model that aligns 35:00.200 --> 35:01.830 modernization and readiness 35:01.830 --> 35:04.150 requirements necessary to build future 35:04.150 --> 35:06.261 readiness at the tactical operational 35:06.261 --> 35:08.261 and strategic levels , ensuring the 35:08.261 --> 35:10.261 army can rapidly deploy in order to 35:10.261 --> 35:12.500 provide ground combat and multi domain 35:12.500 --> 35:14.556 capable units to the joint force and 35:14.556 --> 35:16.167 support of combatant command 35:16.167 --> 35:18.510 requirements . Your army is modernizing 35:18.520 --> 35:20.576 and it is a leader in technology and 35:20.576 --> 35:22.131 concepts . New and emerging 35:22.131 --> 35:24.298 technologies will change the character 35:24.298 --> 35:26.353 of warfare , resulting in a faster , 35:26.353 --> 35:28.187 more lethal and more distributed 35:28.187 --> 35:30.353 battlefield . The army's modernization 35:30.353 --> 35:32.520 efforts have been self funded by three 35:32.520 --> 35:34.631 years of reforms and night court deep 35:34.631 --> 35:36.742 dives . Future deep dives will likely 35:36.742 --> 35:38.798 garner modest returns . But the army 35:38.798 --> 35:41.131 must continue to transform And resource . 35:41.131 --> 35:42.742 Its modernization strategy , 35:42.742 --> 35:44.909 represented by the 31-plus 4 signature 35:44.909 --> 35:46.909 efforts . This will ensure the army 35:46.909 --> 35:49.076 maintains its land power dominance and 35:49.076 --> 35:51.187 sustains its overmatched capabilities 35:51.330 --> 35:53.330 in order to meet the demands of the 35:53.330 --> 35:55.330 strategic competition , Great power 35:55.330 --> 35:57.770 conflict and the Joint Force . The Fy 35:57.770 --> 35:59.826 22 budget request supports the total 35:59.826 --> 36:01.603 army . It represents deliberate 36:01.603 --> 36:03.770 decisions to support people , maintain 36:03.770 --> 36:05.881 hard fought readiness gains and build 36:05.881 --> 36:08.250 upon its modernization efforts through 36:08.250 --> 36:10.340 timely , adequate , predictable and 36:10.340 --> 36:12.340 sustained funding combined with its 36:12.340 --> 36:14.451 greatest weapon system , its people . 36:14.451 --> 36:16.507 The army will be able to compete and 36:16.507 --> 36:18.451 win both now and into the future . 36:18.530 --> 36:21.510 People . First , winning matters Army 36:21.510 --> 36:24.490 strong . Thank you . Okay , we have 36:24.490 --> 36:27.010 time for a few questions . Second , 36:27.010 --> 36:29.140 tremble with Fashion Week magazine 36:29.150 --> 36:32.920 uh in the R D . T and E account , it 36:32.930 --> 36:35.660 goes from 14.12 12.8 as you suggested . 36:35.670 --> 36:39.020 But you've kept the 31 plus four . And 36:39.030 --> 36:41.110 how did how did you accomplish that 36:41.120 --> 36:43.287 without having to eliminate anything ? 36:43.287 --> 36:46.220 Um You said you've reduced in delayed 36:46.220 --> 36:48.650 certain programs within that portfolio 36:48.960 --> 36:51.460 and would any of them be involved with 36:51.460 --> 36:55.040 the future vertical lift or RPF ? No , 36:55.050 --> 36:57.350 none of the modernization priorities . 36:57.350 --> 37:01.180 The efforts were impacted by the night 37:01.180 --> 37:03.291 court decisions . They were protected 37:03.291 --> 37:05.458 through the night court decisions . Uh 37:05.458 --> 37:07.347 There were and you can see in the 37:07.347 --> 37:09.460 quantities of the Black Hawk and the 37:09.460 --> 37:11.627 apaches that the reductions were taken 37:11.627 --> 37:13.738 there in those lines and that that is 37:13.738 --> 37:16.010 consistent with the decisions that the 37:16.010 --> 37:18.610 senior leaders made In order to as 37:18.610 --> 37:21.090 we're looking to put money into the 37:21.100 --> 37:24.010 modernization efforts . Um if any of 37:24.010 --> 37:26.177 those modernization efforts are really 37:26.177 --> 37:28.910 going to be based upon some of the are 37:28.910 --> 37:30.910 enduring capabilities , the funding 37:30.910 --> 37:33.021 from those enduring capabilities will 37:33.021 --> 37:35.570 be applied to the 31-plus 4 and in this 37:35.570 --> 37:37.570 case the aircraft or the far on the 37:37.570 --> 37:41.000 Flora on the phone . Ashleigh from 37:41.000 --> 37:44.560 jane's Hi um I just wanted to follow up 37:44.560 --> 37:47.790 on steve's questions . So from those 37:47.800 --> 37:51.240 broader portfolios for modernization , 37:51.250 --> 37:53.760 um were there any that you're reduced 37:53.760 --> 37:57.200 funding to to slow down and part draw 37:57.200 --> 37:59.367 it out as you reduced ? Um sort of the 37:59.367 --> 38:01.478 pot that he referenced and then could 38:01.478 --> 38:03.700 you outline the R . D . T . Any funding 38:03.700 --> 38:05.867 for next generation combat vehicle and 38:05.867 --> 38:09.510 f feel for next year ? So none of 38:09.510 --> 38:13.430 the modernization priorities uh 38:13.440 --> 38:15.850 were slowed down . Uh They were all 38:15.850 --> 38:18.610 funded to ensure that they would stay 38:18.610 --> 38:21.610 on pace uh and on their plan unless 38:21.610 --> 38:23.990 there was a necessary adjustment but 38:23.990 --> 38:26.840 none of them was intentionally reduced . 38:26.920 --> 38:29.087 Can you repeat your second part of the 38:29.087 --> 38:31.060 question please ? Yes . Could you 38:31.060 --> 38:33.282 provide some of the funding details for 38:33.282 --> 38:35.480 next generation combat vehicle and a 38:35.480 --> 38:36.840 feel for next year ? 38:50.420 --> 38:54.070 Yeah . So for your 38:54.070 --> 38:56.126 details , what are you looking for , 38:57.220 --> 38:59.990 how much detail as much as you can 38:59.990 --> 39:02.280 provide it ? Well , I'll tell you what , 39:02.280 --> 39:05.250 so I think the best thing is we'll take 39:05.250 --> 39:07.850 that for , for the record and we'll get 39:07.850 --> 39:10.330 an answer back to you . Um , but I will 39:10.330 --> 39:13.640 tell you uh , that for the , 39:14.720 --> 39:17.210 the next generation combat vehicle than 39:17.220 --> 39:21.200 the in the next month , uh , the OM 39:21.200 --> 39:24.250 FV , the opportunity optionally manned 39:24.260 --> 39:26.470 future vertical , uh , future vertical 39:26.470 --> 39:28.637 vehicle , the optionally manned future 39:28.637 --> 39:31.750 vehicle is going to be going uh 39:32.120 --> 39:34.280 uh , well , probably award a contract 39:34.290 --> 39:37.050 at the end of june or sometime in july . 39:37.080 --> 39:39.970 That's the timeline that they are on . 39:39.980 --> 39:42.410 So we are expecting that to be 39:42.410 --> 39:44.577 completed here shortly and moving into 39:44.577 --> 39:46.900 the first phase and we have time for 39:46.900 --> 39:49.350 one last question in the room , johN 39:49.350 --> 39:52.540 johnson with defense news , you have a 39:52.540 --> 39:55.240 breakout here for how much money you 39:55.240 --> 39:57.660 were able to shift by eliminating seven 39:57.660 --> 39:59.520 programs into your modernization 39:59.520 --> 40:01.576 priorities , like you've done in the 40:01.576 --> 40:03.960 past . And you also mentioned that in 40:03.960 --> 40:06.590 here that you've reduced or delayed 37 40:06.590 --> 40:09.000 other programs in order to fund the 40:09.000 --> 40:11.167 modernization priorities ? Do you have 40:11.167 --> 40:13.333 a breakout in terms of a dollar amount 40:13.333 --> 40:15.389 of how much you are able to shift in 40:15.389 --> 40:17.222 terms of the reduced and delayed 40:17.222 --> 40:19.278 programs ? Because it looks like the 40:19.278 --> 40:21.611 47.8 million is just for the eliminated . 40:21.611 --> 40:23.722 That is correct . The 47 is for those 40:23.722 --> 40:25.889 seven eliminated programs . It's about 40:25.889 --> 40:28.520 $1.6 billion from the reduced programs . 40:28.530 --> 40:31.490 Okay . Alright . And then I wanted to 40:31.490 --> 40:34.820 see if you were able to in terms of the 40:34.820 --> 40:37.150 multi domain task forces and how you're 40:37.150 --> 40:39.840 going to be shaping those um do you 40:39.840 --> 40:42.100 have a breakout in terms of funding for 40:42.110 --> 40:44.166 what you're putting towards those to 40:44.166 --> 40:46.650 grow those and shape those in Fy 22 ? 40:46.650 --> 40:48.830 Do you have a number ? We do , I don't 40:48.830 --> 40:50.941 have that with me but we can get that 40:50.941 --> 40:52.774 to happen and then also the same 40:52.774 --> 40:55.052 question for the arctic strategy ?
