OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR JEFF SESSIONS Senator SESSIONS. Our chairman Senator Kennedy has asked me to start this hearing on time. He will join us shortly. He is chairing an important committee hearing on cloning and other issues as chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee. So in the spirit of bipartisanship, which has really been exempli- fied on this subcommittee by Senator Kennedy’s leadership, I want to welcome our subcommittee to the first seapower hearing of this budget review cycle. We are delighted to welcome the Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Jim Jones, to kick off our seapower hearings. It is my pleasure once again to serve as the ranking member on this subcommittee. I thank Senator Kennedy for his leadership. He has scheduled hearings that will explore the key (1) VerDate 11-SEP-98 08:56 Dec 03, 2002 Jkt 000000 PO 00000 Frm 00006 Fmt 6633 Sfmt 6633 81923.014 SARMSER2 PsN: SARMSER2 2 issues facing us while exercising oversight of the many seapower procurement and research and development programs. It is prudent for us to begin our hearings by asking the big pic- ture question: What is it that our military forces are supposed to be able to accomplish? The Secretary of Defense answered this in September 2001 in the Quadrennial Defense Review, which states the four defense policy goals as: assuring our allies and friends; dissuading future military competition; deterring threats and coer- cion against United States interests; and if deterrence fails, deci- sively defeat. The Navy and Marine Corps team are vital to carry- ing out all four of these policy goals. Seapower is another way to describe the capabilities the Navy and Marine Corps have to meet the challenge described in the QDR of ‘‘projecting and sustaining U.S. forces in distant anti-access envi- ronments.’’ The Secretary of the Navy has reaffirmed a commit- ment to remain forward-engaged while developing future capabili- ties. Forward presence enabled the regional commander to initiate, on relatively short notice, Operation Enduring Freedom using three aircraft carrier battle groups and two amphibious ready groups with an embarked Marine Corps brigade command element. The performance of our men and women in uniform and from our gov- ernment agencies in Operation Enduring Freedom in fighting ter- rorism here at home has been superb. There are a number of issues that I look forward to exploring today with our witnesses, including the Marine Corps’s role in fighting terrorism, organic and naval gunfire support, amphibious assault vehicles, and ships that provide tactical lift, command and control, and logistics. In addition, new Marine Corps concepts may require changes in equipment and operational capabilities. I remain committed to ensure the MV–22 Osprey program imple- ments the recommendations of last year’s review panel to incor- porate safety, reliability, and maintainability fixes. I join our chairman in welcoming General Jones, the Com- mandant of the Marine Corps, and express my sincere appreciation to the Commandant for all the members of the Marine Corps, ac- tive duty, Reserve, civilian, and supporting family members for their sacrifices and continuing services to our great country. General Jones, thank you for being with us. This is the first of a series of important hearings we will be having on how we deal with seapower, of which the Marine Corps is a big part. But first, if you

REARDON has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Marvin E. Fletcher Professor of History Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences iii ABSTRACT REARDON, JEFF T., Ph.D., August 2008, History The Evolution of the U.S. Navy into an Effective Night-Fighting Force During the Solomon Islands Campaign, 1942-1943 (373 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Marvin E. Fletcher On the night of August 8-9, 1942, American naval forces supporting the amphibious landings at Guadalcanal and Tulagi Islands suffered a humiliating defeat in a nighttime clash against the Imperial Japanese Navy. This was, and remains today, the U.S. Navy’s worst defeat at sea. However, unlike America’s ground and air forces, which began inflicting disproportionate losses against their Japanese counterparts at the outset of the Solomon Islands campaign in August 1942, the navy was slow to achieve similar success. The reason the U.S. Navy took so long to achieve proficiency in ship-to-ship combat was due to the fact that it had not adequately prepared itself to fight at night.
