From ADC: White House Announces Intent to Nominate Esper for Defense Secretary The White House announced Friday President Donald Trump’s intent to nominate Army Secretary Mark Esper for Secretary of Defense, Under Secretary of Defense David Norquist as Deputy Secre- tary of Defense, and Army Under Secretary Ryan McCarthy as Secretary of the Army. Earlier in the week Trump had named Esper as acting defense secretary after on Monday he an- nounced that former Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan would not continue to pursue his nomination for the Pentagon chief due to personal reasons. The announcement of the three nominations allowed the administration to informally authorize the officials into their new positions so that they would be in place this week, Military.com reported Fri- day. However, if Esper does not quickly receive a formal defense secretary nomination following Trump’s intent announcement, he would be unable to step into the role due to the Federal Vacan- cies Reform Act of 1998, according to the report. The law generally does not allow a secretary nominee to fill the roll in acting capacity, which would trigger a line of succession placing Navy Sec- 2 retary Richard Spencer as acting defense secretary if Trump does not name another formal nomi- nee. With the Senate’s July schedule a major factor prior to its annual August recess, the Pentagon con- firmed it has not yet received Esper’s formal nomination paperwork, according to a Pentagon spokeswoman. “As of right now, we don’t have anything official that he’s been nominated yet,” Jessica Maxwell told Military.com. “We’ll have just have to wait for an official nomination to come through,” she said. Esper has served as Army secretary since 2017 and as a former Army infantry officer during the Iraq War he earned the Legion of Merit and the Bronze Star. House Advances $108B VA-Milcon Bill Posted on Jun 23, 2019 06:40 pm The Democrat-led House appeared on track to pass a $108 billion fiscal 2020 VA-Military Construc- tion bill after quickly moving through a number of amendments Friday and ending floor debate on the measure, CQ reported. A summary of the bill, which is part of a larger five-bill, $383.3 billion minibus package, would pro- vide: • $10.5 billion for military construction projects, $207 million more than enacted for FY 2019. • $1.5 billion for construction, operation and maintenance of military family housing. The funding is $117.8 million below FY 2019 levels and $140.8 million above DOD’s budget request. • $217.5 billion in discretionary and mandatory VA funding, an increase of $20.3 billion above FY 2019. • $94.3 billion in VA discretionary spending alone, $7.7 billion above FY 2019. • $80.4 billion in total VA medical care funding, including: $9.5 billion for mental health; $222 mil- lion for suicide prevention; $582 million for women’s health; $1.9 billion for homeless assistance programs; $397 million for opioid abuse prevention; and $270 million in rural health initiatives. The full five-bill minibus spending package faces little chance of surviving intact, however, as the GOP-led Senate and Trump administration disagree with the House on overall discretionary spend- ing levels. House Passes $733 Billion Defense Spending Appropriations Bill Posted on Jun 19, 2019 08:19 pm The House passed a four-bill, nearly $1 trillion minibus spending package Wednesday that includes a $733 billion topline in overall defense funding for fiscal 2020, which starts Oct. 1. The package passed on a 226-to-203 vote that fell along party lines. The chamber’s entire Republi- can ranks and seven Democrats voted against the measure. The defense spending breakdown includes $645.1 billion in base funding, $261.7 billion in base nondefense spending, $68.1 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), and $8 billion in nondefense OCO funding, according to a bill summary. “With this vote, House Democrats have honored our promise to invest for the people,” House Ap- propriations Committee Chairwoman Nita Lowey said in a press release. 3 The Democrat-crafted defense measure also sought to challenge President Donald Trump’s border emergency declaration by blocking DOD and the Army Corps from diverting defense funds to build a southern border barrier, The Hill reported. NOTES FROM THE CHAIR Summer has officially begun! Whether you bask in the sun or retreat to the shade - stay hydrated and cool. As we head into the 4th of July holiday, we have had many changes of commands and leadership at our installations and mission programs. I know many of you are having events in support of your active military members, families and communities. Once we get on the other side of the holiday, reach out to the new leadership and share our stories on how we assist our active military members and installations. What are their visions and concerns? Our Mission Sustainment and Family Support Working Groups each have conference calls in the next two weeks. Be prepared so we have engaging conversations. Call or email Mike Jones and Lynn Brannon ahead of the calls with your challenges and opportunities. Don’t wait for the call…be proactive! Action requires us to have information so we can connect the dots to be prepared to assist and have the right individuals on the call to be timely. When we are flying into the wind or going up stream, we are not leveraging our resources and time to the best of our abilities.

    www.cnic.navy.mil/jaxairnews October 25, 2019 VOL. 77 - NO. 25 - Jacksonville, Fla. Fleet Readiness Center Southeast Welcomes First F-5N Tiger II From Fleet Readiness Center Southeast Public Affairs A group gathered in a Fleet Readiness Center Southeast (FRCSE) hangar eagerly awaiting the arrival of the depot’s first F-5N Tiger II fighter, Sept. 11. As the aircraft taxied, trumped in size by the P-8As it passed on the flight line, it showcased its most anticipated attributes. Cmdr. Matt Pearce, F-5 pilot instructor with Fighter Squadron Composite 111 based at NAS Key West, Florida, described it as small, maneuverable and cost-effective — saving the warfighter and taxpayer money, materials and resources. “What we don’t have in technology, we make up in tactics and knowledge,” Pearce said. “Once you take your eyes off of us outside of a mile to a mile and a half, it’s very hard to pick us back up.” Plainly put, by training an F/A-18 pilot in a jet used by the adversary in combat, he or she learns how to outwit and out maneuver the enemy. Once tactical skills are mastered using a hands-on approach, take that same pilot, put him or her in a superior aircraft and expect a well-rounded aviator who Photos by Toiete Jackson can rip a hole in the sky.
