The subcommittee met, pursuant to call, at 9:05 a.m., in room 2118, Rayburn House Office Building, Hon. Michael R. Turner (chairman of the subcommittee) presiding. Mr. TURNER. The hearing will come to order. The subcommittee meets today to receive testimony on the mili- tary services fifth-generation tactical aircraft challenges and to re- ceive an update on the F–35 Joint Strike Fighter [JSF] Program. I want to welcome our distinguished witness panel for today: Lieutenant General Chris Bogdan, United States Air Force, F–35 Program Executive Officer; Lieutenant General Jon M. Davis, United States Marine Corps, Deputy Commandant for Aviation; Rear Admiral DeWolfe ‘‘Chip’’ Miller, United States Navy, Navy Di- rector of Air Warfare; and Lieutenant General (Select) General Jerry D. Harris, United States Air Force, Deputy Chief of Staff for Plans, Programs, and Requirements. Gentlemen, we thank you for your service and we look forward to your important testimony today. Before we begin, we would like to take care of some administra- tive details. I am pleased to announce that Paul Cook will again be serving as the vice chairman of this subcommittee. Paul, thank you for agreeing to be vice chairman. Mr. COOK. Thank you. Mr. TURNER. I now will turn to introducing the new members who are on the subcommittee. Our new members include Don Bacon, who represents Nebraska’s Second Congressional District. A retired Air Force brigadier general, Don has commanded twice at the wing level, at Offutt Air Force Base and Ramstein, Germany. Matt Gaetz represents Florida’s First District, home of one of the largest military districts in the country, including Naval Air Sta- tion Pensacola and Eglin Air Force Base. Trent Kelly represents Mississippi’s First District. A colonel in the Mississippi Army National Guard, he has served for 30 years as an engineer, including multiple tours in Iraq. We also have Jim Banks, who represents Indiana’s Third Dis- trict, home of 122nd Fighter Wing of Indiana National Guard. A Navy supply officer, he has recently completed a tour in Afghani- stan. (1) 2 We are glad to have our new members of the subcommittee and I will now turn to our ranking member, Ms. Tsongas, who will also introduce the new members who are our Democrats. Ms. TSONGAS. Thank you, Mr. Turner, and I look forward to working with you. And welcome those who are here today to tes- tify. I would like to recognize our new members to the subcommittee. First, I would like to welcome my colleagues Jim Langevin of Rhode Island and Jim Cooper of Tennessee, who are by no means new to HASC [House Armed Services Committee]. Both Mr. Lange- vin and Mr. Cooper are ranking members; Mr. Langevin on Emerg- ing Threats and Capabilities, Mr. Cooper on Strategic Forces Sub- committees. Mr. Cooper actually also served on this subcommittee as recently as the 113th Congress, and we are lucky to have him back. I would also like to recognize additional new members at the subcommittee who are also new to Congress. Congresswoman Jack- ie Rosen of Nevada’s Third Congressional District most recently served as a president of the largest reform synagogue in southern Nevada. Her district is just a short drive from Nellis Air Force Base and home to the U.S. Air Force Warfare Center. Congressman Salud Carbajal represents the 24th Congressional District of California which is home to a number of military facili- ties, including Vandenberg Air Force Base. Congressman Carbajal served 8 years in the United States Marine Corps Reserve, includ- ing active duty service during the 1991 Gulf war. Congressman Anthony Brown represents Maryland’s Fourth Con- gressional District and previously served as Maryland’s Lieutenant Governor and Majority Whip in the House of Delegates. Congress- man Brown was awarded the Legion of Merit for his 30 years of distinguished military service and the Bronze Star for his service in Iraq. Congressman Tom O’Halleran served for 8 years in the Arizona State legislature before coming to Congress. Prior to his time as an elected official, Tom served on the Chicago Board of Trade and was a small-business owner. And Congressman Tom Suozzi represents the north shore of Long Island, as well as northwestern Queens. Previously he served as mayor of his hometown, Glen Cove, New York, and was a county executive of Nassau County. Again, thank you and we welcome them all, not all here today, but I am sure will be participating on a regular basis. OPENING STATEMENT OF HON. MICHAEL R. TURNER, A REP- RESENTATIVE FROM OHIO, CHAIRMAN, SUBCOMMITTEE ON TACTICAL AIR AND LAND FORCES Mr. TURNER. Thank you, Ms. Tsongas. I want to thank you again for your commitment to the bipartisan spirit of this subcommittee, which I know we will see in our new members also as a result of your leadership and our relationship. This is a timely hearing and it is complementary to our Chair- man Mac Thornberry’s full committee hearing on the state of the military. Last week, the committee heard testimony from each of 3 the military services’ vice chiefs of staff that the force is strained and that the services have to do more with less. These challenges combined with years of budget-driven national security strategies and cuts, rather than threat-based strategies, have led to a military readiness crisis. With a new administration indicating its intent to rebuild the U.S. Armed Forces, I look for- ward to

  • Offutt Air Force Base Informational Brochure
    Offutt Air Force Base Informational Brochure In 2015, a JLUS for the Offutt Air Force Base (AFB) was developed through a collaborative planning effort between the cities of Bellevue, Council Bluffs, Glenwood, La Vista, Omaha, Papillion and Plattsmouth, as well Cass, Douglas, Mills, Pottawattamie, and Sarpy Counties. The JLUS program was developed by the Department of Defense (DOD) as a cooperative land use planning effort between affected local government(s) and military installations. The JLUS Program is designed to provide a cooperative environment within which present and future land use development and land use decisions can be made. The 2015 JLUS identified area growth and economic trends, the facilities and mission of the AFB, land use policies and programs, compatibility issues with AFB operations, and a recommended course of action. Offutt AFB JLUS Overview All AFB installations attract developments. Housing is constructed for AFB employees who want to live near, and businesses are established to serve the AFB and its employees. As development increase around the AFB, more people are exposed to noise and accident potential associated with aircraft operations. The Air Installation Compatibility Use Zone (AICUZ) program was created by the DOD in 1973 to address noise and safety hazards associated with aviation operations. The AICUZ program was established to minimize impacts from aviation operations (noise and accidents) through specific attention to development and land uses. The AICUZ framework evaluates noise from military aircraft, and applies the concept of clear zones and accident potential zones with corresponding development and building intensities designed to encourage compatibility between military operations and communities.

  • Air Force Sexual Assault Court-Martial Summaries 2010 March 2015
    Air Force Sexual Assault Court-Martial Summaries 2010 March 2015 – The Air Force is committed to preventing, deterring, and prosecuting sexual assault in its ranks. This report contains a synopsis of sexual assault cases taken to trial by court-martial. The information contained herein is a matter of public record. This is the final report of this nature the Air Force will produce. All results of general and special courts-martial for trials occurring after 1 April 2015 will be available on the Air Force’s Court-Martial Docket Website (www.afjag.af.mil/docket/index.asp). SIGNIFICANT AIR FORCE SEXUAL ASSAULT CASE SUMMARIES 2010 – March 2015 Note: This report lists cases involving a conviction for a sexual assault offense committed against an adult and also includes cases where a sexual assault offense against an adult was charged and the member was either acquitted of a sexual assault offense or the sexual assault offense was dismissed, but the member was convicted of another offense involving a victim. The Air Force publishes these cases for deterrence purposes. Sex offender registration requirements are governed by Department of Defense policy in compliance with federal and state sex offender registration requirements. Not all convictions included in this report require sex offender registration. Beginning with July 2014 cases, this report also indicates when a victim was represented by a Special Victims’ Counsel. Under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, sexual assaults against those 16 years of age and older are charged as crimes against adults. The appropriate disposition of sexual assault allegations and investigations may not always include referral to trial by court-martial.

Journal of Advanced Military Studies Global Defense Procurement and the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. By Bert Chapman. Basel, Switzerland: Palgrave Macmillan, 2019. Pp. 396. $99.99 (hardcover); $79.99 (ebook). The Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) is among the most controversial U.S. defense procurement programs in Pentagon history. Originally envisioned as the more affordable “lo” to the “hi” of the Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor, the system reflects the culmination of the Department of Defense’s culture of “jointness,” but in procurement rather than operations. From the program’s onset, it has been an ambitious endeavor to replace four at- tack and fighter aircraft models used by the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps with a single airframe, and with variants designed to operate from convention- al runways, aircraft carriers, and helicopter carriers or forward locations using short takeoff and vertical landing capability. As a fifth-generation fighter, this stealth airframe features internal weapons carriage and incorporates advances in fusing information through its sensor suite. On top of it all, the program relies heavily on international cooperation in the production process through a tiered partner arrangement.

  • Red Flag for a World Coalition
    Red Flag for a World Coalition 40 AIR FORCE Magazine / August 2006 Red Flag for a World Coalition The February Red Flag in Nevada featured Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, British, and Australian forces, with more than 130 aircraft and 2,500 troops taking part. Photography by Richard VanderMeulen Over the Nevada desert, an F-15E waits off the wing of a KC-135 tanker for its turn to take on fuel. AIR FORCE Magazine / August 2006 41 he Air Force’s premier realistic Ttraining exercise, Red Flag, played out in an unusual way in the skies over Nellis Air Force Base and the Nevada Test and Training Range this winter. For the first time, dedicated “aggres- sor” F-15s took part. Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and foreign forces honed their skills for upcoming deploy- ments. Red Flag’s hallmark is realistic combat in a controlled environment, featur- ing battles against skilled opponents. The opportunity to engage dissimilar aircraft using enemy tactics is also important and is often a change for units that typically fly against others from the same unit. Taking off at right is an F-15E of the 90th Fighter Squadron, Elmendorf AFB, Alaska. Afterburners lit, this F-111 of the Royal Australian Air Force takes off and has not yet closed its landing gear door. The RAAF is the last air force still flying the F-111. Nations such as Australia come to Red Flag for the opportunity to fly with the US and to take advantage of the vast Nellis range. At right, an F-16C from Cannon AFB, N.M., takes off with an assortment of air- to-air missiles hung on its wings.
