 As you all know, for the past 17 years, the U.S. Army has continuously provided trained and ready forces to both Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere as we simultaneously meet the needs of the combatant commanders around the globe. And today, as it was throughout the year and last year, we have approximately about 180,000 soldiers serving in 140 countries around the world. That represents, broadly speaking, about 50 to 60 percent of combatant command demand comes to the Army to support. Congress's support has allowed the Army to become significantly more combat ready today than we were two and a half years ago when I became the Chief of Staff of the Army. We've increased the number of combat training center rotations. We've improved equipment readiness rates to spare parts. We've replenished our Army preposition stocks. We've increased our personnel and strength and started to fill some of the holes in our operating units. And significantly, we've improved both our munitions shortfalls along with some of our critical infrastructure. We must be ready, though, not only now but in the future. And we have to maintain a decisive overmatch to achieve victory, as the Secretary said, against any adversary, anytime, anywhere. The tyranny of the present has consumed us for the past 16 years, while our competitive advantage against peer threats has eroded. And advances by our adversaries are very real. This is not a classified hearing, but I'll be happy to illuminate those advances in a classified hearing, specifically with respect to Russia and China, as they continue to assert regional influence in their development of advanced weapons and technology. Likewise, Iran is attempting to expand its regional influence. And as we all saw last week in a recent positive turn of events regarding North Korea, it's very welcome, and I remain cautiously optimistic, as Secretary of Defense Matt has said. But we, the Army, we must remain ready. We must remain ready to present options to the President for his consideration, if required. And we will do that. The current battlefield is already lethal, and the future battlefield is likely to prove more lethal than anything we have ever recently experienced. So the time is now for the Army to modernize. To both stay ready today and to build the future force of our nation, that's going to require a modern Army. The Army needs predictable, adequate, sustained, and timely funding, and you know that, and you all agree with that. The Army's FY19 budget request reflects our priorities to grow and maintain a highly capable force today, to modernize and build the future force, to take proper care of our soldiers, family members, and civilians, and all the while being good stewards of the generous money of taxpayer money that the Congress has given us. We recognize the American taxpayer and trust us with a significant amount of money to meet these demands, and we will be diligent stewards of our resources, and we will enforce accountability to make effective use of every single dollar. Your support for the FY19 budget will ensure the soldiers of the United States Army remain ready to fight tonight as we prepare for any unforeseen conflicts of tomorrow. Thank you again for the opportunity to testify, and I look forward to your questions.
