We appreciate very much the attendance of our witnesses and committee members. The purpose of our hearing today in the Appropriations Committee is to review the budget request for the Department of the Army. The purpose of the hearing is to give the military leadership an opportunity to answer questions that members of the committee might have about the provisions in the draft that we will be reviewing. It is appropriate that we begin the hearing with the leadership, the Chief of Staff of the U.S. Army and the Secretary of the Army, who are here. We appreciate your being here. Patrick Murphy, Act- ing Secretary of the Army, and General Mark Milley, Chief of Staff of the Army. We know that you have prepared statements, which we appre- ciate very much receiving. It gives our staff and committee mem- bers an opportunity to review the budget request and to have you answer any questions that we may have. Today, our Armed Forces are engaged globally more than ever before. There are 190,000 Regular Army, Army National Guard, and Army Reserve soldiers serving on Active Duty in 140 countries. This bill that this subcommittee will recommend to the full com- mittee deals with the obligations of carrying out the missions con- tributing to peace and strength, and the capability to protect the U.S. interests around the world.
