Defense Writers Group TRANSCRIPT Defense Writers Group A Project of the Center for Media & Security New York and Washington, D.C. Gen. Richard Myers, USAF Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff January 22, 2003 THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT AND MAY CONTAIN ERRORS. USERS ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAPES OR NOTES OF THE SESSION IF ABSOLUTE VERIFICATION OF WORDING IS NEEDED. Q: We're on the record.... General Myers: Can I make a quick opening statement? A: Go ahead. A: I just got back Monday night from a trip to Germany and Belgium. That was to participate in the change of command at Stuttgart, to observe and be one of the folks in the audience for the change in Hoehenfels when General Joe Ralston gave up to General Jim Jones. All that went fine. I went down to Italy. Had a meeting with my counterpart in Rome, General Mastini. Up to Vicenza for a troop visit. Two things up there. There is the Southern European Task Force which is in Vicenza and also there is the 173rd Brigade there as well. We went through that. Then down to Turkey, a counterpart visit. Lots of speculation on the visit, this has been on the books probably for six months, so...We were always going to Turkey. Then troop visit at Incirlik before we went down or up to Ankara. Had a meeting with my counterpart again General Kudkamen (?). Then their minister of defense and then came on home. Lots of other things happening. First of all, the troop visit folks are seem to be bearing up very well. Lots of reservists at Incirlik, Guard and Reserve, doing well. In the Q&A session, I didn't hear any reserve component specific questions. They were much broader and very good questions. Of course, the folks in Vicenza, I met mainly with leadership there, not as many troops because it was on a Sunday and we didn't want to call troops in. So we spent time with the leadership. Again, people seem to be real professional about their duties and pretty well motivated for the mission. Some other things have been going on. You probably recognized that on the 10th of January the president signed another change to our unified command plan. This one gave Strategic 1 Command some more responsibilities to include responsibilities for an integrating function for missile defense, responsibilities for C4ISR, responsibilities for Global Strike, responsibilities for information operations and there is one other there, that we gave them. Some of these are going to have to mature. We know what the responsibility is and we know the boundaries, the specifics will take time to be implemented, as Strategic Command adapts those new responsibilities. It will take time to kind of play that out. With that... Q: There has been a lot of speculation about Turkey. I wonder if you can clarify just a couple things for us, briefly. Number one, has Turkey formally, as the reports say, approved the United States putting troops in, in addition to aircraft? And is it going to be a problem that you are not going to be able to put as many troops in as you hoped for? A: As you know, we have some people in there doing some site surveys now. I still think it is a really good policy to let the Turkish government describe what it is they will permit, US or other forces, other countries do on their soil. I am not going to get into that. I would only say that Turkey has been with us in every major conflict -- Korean War forward and I think they have the same desires for the region as we do and that is a stable Iraq that is not a threat to its neighbors, that doesn't have weapons of mass destruction. I think on that, we all agree. I think the partnership we have will allow them to do what they feel is in their best national interest and I think -- I'll just let them characterize their support. Q: Won't it be pretty obvious, if you are moving troops to Turkey, will any of these troops be going to... A: I am not going to talk about where our troops are going. That is just something I am not going to talk about. Q: I want to ask you a little bit about the Guard and Reserve call-up that has been foreseen and expected to come in fairly large numbers. Up to this point, we haven't seen large numbers called up for duty related to the potential war in Iraq. Can you tell me what the timetable looks like? Are we going to see that soon? What ballpark size Reserve/Guard call up can we expect to see? A: I don't know what kind of numbers you are thinking about but the last time I looked, for those called up inside CONUS for what we call Operation Noble Eagle, which is defense of continental United States, there were about somewhere in the area of 56 thousand called up. That had been the size around close to 80 and went as low as below 50. It is back up to about 56 thousand. We are building, as you know, building up forces in the Gulf clearly and there are reserves as pieces of that. That continues. The facts are that there is a lot of our combat capability/combat support and service support capability in the reserve components that, you know, if you want to have a credible force, you've got to call up the reserves along with it. So that is continuing. Q: There are reports that it will be 100 thousand/200 thousand. 2 A: A hundred or two hundred thousand of reserve component? Q: Yes. A: I think in terms of the current build up, that is off base. That is way off base. Q: Can you give us a better number? A: Well, the problem is, you alert some. Some of those you mobilize. And then some of those you deploy. It is sort of three steps. Every number would be different. We've alerted more than we've mobilized and we've mobilized more than we've deployed. The deployed number is much, much smaller than those numbers you've used. Because we deal in all three of them and we work this kind of continuously. I'll go back to see what I can release in terms of what we can release in terms of numbers. I'll work that with (inaudible) to see if there is a number we can release on. It changes fairly quickly. If I were to lay out a number, in any one of those categories, it would probably be off by some. Let's go see what is... Q: Would it be fair to say that you expect more than double your number called up? To more than 100 thousand? A: You talking about Reserve or active? Q: Reserve and National Guard? A: It depends on the situation. Obviously, if the president/the UN decides force is the only way to disarm Iraq from its WMD, then the reserve numbers would be potentially quite high. Certainly, for what we are doing in this case, to kind of put pressure on Iraq, to help the diplomacy along, the numbers aren't going to be near that size. And to make sure I am clear, I am differentiating between -- I am keeping separate the Noble Eagle piece. I separate that out. So, when you say 100 thousand, I am taking the 50 some thousand we have for the home defense piece out of that. If you add it in, you know, you could get to 100 thousand easy. Q: You and the Secretary have talked about the slow, deliberate build up of forces in support of diplomacy. At what point in the next point or so does the slow, deliberate build up of forces become a credible invasion for whatever the president decides to do? Are we talking mid- February? End of February? A: Hopefully that will be in the mind of the Iraqi regime. We think we have credible force any time the president says go do what you have to do. So, if the Iraqi regime were to attack Kuwait, if they were going to attack Turkey or Israel or Jordan or Saudi Arabia now, we'd be prepared, have to be prepared to have a credible deterrent in the region. The build up is going to proceed apace. I would say -- the reason I kind of hesitate on these dates is, what are we telling Saddam? 3 We are saying, "Hey, Saddam, by 18 February they are going to be as strong as they are going to be." Well, I'm not going to say that. I'd like to answer your question, but I can't do it. I just can't tell you what date we are going to be... Q: But what about a rough order of magnitude. Are we talking weeks or a month? A: We're ready now. We're ready now. And the Iraqi regime should have no doubt that if the president of the United States decides that we need to take action, we are ready today. Q: How long can you sustain a large force in the region from a morale, logistics and from a regional sensitivity stand point, if this drags out a number of months? A: We are doing our homework on that.

    Navy and Marine Corps Opposition to the Goldwater Nichols Act of 1986 A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Steven T. Wills June 2012 © 2012 Steven T. Wills. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Navy and Marine Corps Opposition to the Goldwtaer Nichols Act of 1986 by STEVEN T. WILLS has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Ingo Traushweizer Assistant Professor of History Howard Dewald Interim Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT WILLS, STEVEN T., M.A., June 2012, History Navy and Marine Corps Opposition to the Goldwater Nichols Act of 1986 Director of Thesis: Ingo Traushweizer The Goldwater Nichols Act of 1986 was the most comprehensive defense reorganization legislation in a generation. It has governed the way the United States has organized, planned, and conducted military operations for the last twenty five years. It passed the Senate and House of Representatives with margins of victory reserved for birthday and holiday resolutions. It is praised throughout the U.S. defense establishment as a universal good. Despite this, it engendered a strong opposition movement organized primarily by Navy Secretary John F. Lehman but also included members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, prominent Senators and Congressman, and President Reagan's Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger. This essay will examine the forty year background of defense reform movements leading to the Goldwater Nichols Act, the fight from 1982 to 1986 by supporters and opponents of the proposed legislation and its twenty-five year legacy that may not be as positive as the claims made by the Department of Defense suggest.

  • Deep Sea Drilling Project Initial Reports Volume 43
    FRONTISPIECE 1. Campanian variegated volcanogenic clay and marly nannofossil ooze from near the base of Nashville Seamount (Site 382, Core 17, Section 2). The clays (darker layers) are locally silty and contain zeolites, volcanic glass, and palagonite. The sand layer at 116 to 121 cm consists of zeolites and volcanic glass along with foraminifers and calcareous shell fragments. Most sediments appear to be displaced from shallower areas on the flank of Nashville Seamount. 2. Typical Albian "black claystone" at Site 386, central Bermuda Rise, showing alternating gray-green burrow-mottled beds and black, finely laminated beds. Coarse layers are radiolarian sands, and small concretion is siderite (Core 62, Section 2). 3. Cretaceous volcaniclastic breccia from the lower flank of Vogel Seamount (Site 385, Core 24, Section 1). The breccia con¬ sists of poorly sorted, angular to subrounded clasts of basalt in various stages of alteration in a base matrix of calcite. 4. Cretaceous/Tertiary contact in calcareous ooze at Site 384 (J-Anomaly Ridge). The contact, slightly disturbed by drilling, occurs at 33 cm, at the upward change from lighter to darker color. This sequence represents probably the most complete biostratigraphic record of the Cretaceous/Tertiary transition yet obtained in a pelagic facies (Site 384, Core 13, Section 3). 5. Cenomanian black claystone with pyrite nodule, southeastern Bermuda Rise (Site 386, Core 44, Section 1). 6. Transition zone typifying the contact between underlying greenish gray and black claystones and overlying reddish, zeolitic claystones, all of Cenomanian age (Site 386, southeastern Bermuda Rise, Core 4, Section 5). 7. Rhythmically bedded Albian claystones and radiolarian mudstones from Site 387 (Core 35, Section 2) on the western Bermuda Rise.

At that time the numberof NORAD alert sites was 7, down from 22 at the height of the Cold War. Myers summarized NORAD's day-to-day mission as (1) guarding against the threat of a ballistic missile attack, and (2) providing air defense for the North American continent. Myers vaguely recalled the 1997 QDR recommendation to further cut NORAD's alert sites - from 7 to 4. He did not specifically address why that recommendation was not carried out by 2001; he described the overall issue as whether NORAD's air defense mission was still relevant, given NORAD's outward focus and orientation. Myers recalled that prior to 9111 NORAD was concerned about the FAA's plans to' change its radar systems. NORAD shared the interior radar picture with the FAA - through the Joint Surveillance System - and the issue of who maintained this system was important to NORAD. NORAD's radar coverage in the north was better than its radar coverage in the south, which Myers described as "somewhat spotty." NORAD was not able to "correlate" over 50% of the unknown tracks it picked up - either because NORAD could not get interceptor involvement in time or because it could not track them appropriately.

  • U.S.-China Military Contacts: Issues for Congress
    U.S.-China Military Contacts: Issues for Congress Shirley A. Kan Specialist in Asian Security Affairs October 27, 2014 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov RL32496 U.S.-China Military Contacts: Issues for Congress Summary This CRS Report, updated through the 113th Congress, discusses policy issues regarding military- to-military (mil-to-mil) contacts with the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and records major contacts and crises since 1993. The United States suspended military contacts with China and imposed sanctions on arms sales in response to the Tiananmen Crackdown in 1989. In 1993, President Clinton reengaged with the top PRC leadership, including China’s military, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). Renewed military exchanges with the PLA have not regained the closeness reached in the 1980s, when U.S.-PRC strategic alignment against the Soviet Union included U.S. arms sales to China. Improvements and deteriorations in overall bilateral engagement have affected military contacts, which were close in 1997-1998 and 2000, but marred by the 1995-1996 Taiwan Strait crisis, mistaken NATO bombing of a PRC embassy in 1999, the EP-3 aircraft collision crisis in 2001, and the PLA’s aggressive maritime and air confrontations. Issues for Congress include whether the Administration complies with legislation overseeing dealings with the PLA and pursues contacts with the PLA that advance a prioritized set of U.S. security interests, especially the operational safety of U.S. military personnel. Oversight legislation includes the Foreign Relations Authorization Act for FY1990-FY1991 (P.L. 101-246) and National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY2000 (P.L.
