Good afternoon, everyone. This hearing of the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee is now called to order. I'd like to thank our witnesses for being here today. From OSD we have Mr. Richard Kidd, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Environment and Energy Resilience. Representing each of the Services are Mr. Jack-say your last name for me so I don't- Mr. SURASH. Surash. Senator HEINRICH. Surash, Senior Official Performing the Duties of Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Energy, and Environment, Mr. James Balocki, excellent, Deputy Assistant Sec- retary of the Navy for Installations, Energy, and Facilities, and Mr. Mark Correll, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Envi- ronment, Safety, and Infrastructure. Military installations are the backbone of our military's readi- ness. Among many other functions, they are the locations where we develop, test, and maintain equipment, vehicles, and munitions, where we base offensive and defensive systems, and where service members work, train, and very often live. Ensuring that our mili- tary installations and the facilities on them are resilient is abso- lutely critical. Today we'll focus on climate resilience and namely the ability of installations to prepare for or minimize the effects of extreme weather events and other climate-related disruptions. (1)
