 Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Army General Martin Dempsey recently testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee about the importance of maintaining a strong military force throughout the current sequestration budget constraints. We're in the midst of a difficult fiscal correction to restore the economic foundation of power. And we're also transitioning from war to an even more uncertain and dangerous security landscape. So even as the dollars are in decline, risk is on the rise. We may have to do less, but we should never do it less well. Dempsey also vowed to strengthen the relationship of trust within the military and with the American people during the current transition. From the Defense Media Activity, I'm Petty Officer Tony Rosa.
