  • Statement of General John Paxton Assistant
    STATEMENT OF GENERAL JOHN PAXTON ASSISTANT COMMANDANT OF THE MARINE CORPS BEFORE THE HOUSE ARMED SERVICES SUBCOMMITTEE ON READINESS ON MARINE CORPS 2017 BUDGET REQUEST AND READINESS 3 MARCH 2016 RAYBURN HOUSE OFFICE BUILDING ROOM 2118 1 Introduction Chairman Wittman, Ranking Member Bordallo, and distinguished members of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness: I appreciate the opportunity to testify on the current state of readiness in your Marine Corps and on our Fiscal Year 2017 budget request. We greatly appreciate the continued support of Congress and of this subcommittee in ensuring our ability to remain the nation’s ready force. The Marine Corps has been our nation’s crisis response force since our first landing in the Bahamas, on this very date in March 1776. Two hundred and forty years ago today the Marines led by our first Commandant, Captain Samuel Nichols, seized weapons and gunpowder for George Washington’s Continental Army. Since that day the Marine Corps has been dedicated to being our country’s expeditionary force in readiness, chartered by the 82nd Congress to be the most ready force when the nation is least ready. I thank this Committee and the 114th Congress for their appreciation of that vital role, which you reaffirmed in the most recent National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Your Marine Corps Today 2015 was a demanding year, much like any other for your Marine Corps. Our expeditionary forces continue to be in demand and heavily employed in the face of an increasingly challenging global environment. Your Marines executed approximately 100 operations, 20 of them amphibious, 140 security cooperation activities with our partners and allies, and 160 major exercises.
