The Airland Subcommittee meets today to receive testimony on Army transformation and the Future Combat System (FCS). We divided the hearing into two panels. The first panel will testify on the budgetary aspects of Army transformation and will specifically discuss Army aviation modularity and FCS. Secretary Bolton and General Cody, welcome. Thank you for coming today. As we meet today, the Army has over 650,000 soldiers on Active- Duty who are deployed, stationed overseas, or securing the home- (1) VerDate 0ct 09 2002 08:55 Jun 30, 2006 Jkt 000000 PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 6633 Sfmt 6602 C:\DOCS\21105.TXT SARMSER2 PsN: JUNEB 2 land. We must ensure that our Armed Forces have the necessary personnel, training, and equipment to successfully accomplish their missions. The fiscal year 2006 Army budget requests $98.6 billion. It has not significantly changed from the 2005 appropriated levels. How- ever, the 2005 appropriated levels include the $57 billion for the Army in the fiscal year 2005 supplemental request. Additionally, the Army did not include all modularity costs in the 2006 budget request. Of the $57 billion requested for the Army in the bridge supplemental, $12.8 billion is in the procurement ac- count and funds modularity force protection, recapitalization and equipment combat losses. This committee has jurisdiction over all of these areas, but, by funding these areas through supplementals, has little oversight. It is a concern to me. We would like to hear your views as to why you believe these costs should not have been budgeted in the fiscal year 2006 request. Over the past 2 years, the Army terminated two major programs, the Crusader field artillery system and the Comanche helicopter program. These programs were terminated to protect funding for the FCS and that is why we have to get the FCS program

This action arises from the horrific crash of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 (“Flight 302”) on March 10, 2019 in which all 157 people on board lost their lives. The aircraft involved in Flight 302 was a BOEING 737 MAX 8. This crash came less than five months after Lion Air Flight JT 610—another BOEING 737 MAX 8—crashed into the Java Sea on October 29, 2018, killing all 189 onboard, due to the same or similar causes. 2.
