 Our fundamental imperative is to fly, fight, and win, and in order to do that, there are a number of capabilities that we have to have. One of the great strategic assets that the United States has is its strong alliances with fellow democracies. We have a bilateral alliance with Japan, which is a key alliance in the Pacific. We have other friends and partners out here as well, and here, of course, the threat is a little different, but it's equally significant, if not more so, and that's the potential for Chinese aggression in the region. The U.S. is a powerful country. Its strength is enhanced and multiplied many times over by the support it has from the audience. It allows us to have the ability to project power much more effectively, and it gives us strong partners and allows us to present a united front to people who would commit acts of aggression.
