The subcommittee met at 10 a.m. in room SD-192, Dirksen Sen- ate Office Building, Hon. Jon Tester (chairman) presiding. Present: Senators Tester, Durbin, Murray, Schatz, Shaheen, Shelby, Murkowski, Blunt, Moran, Hoeven, and Boozman. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY STATEMENT OF HON. CHRISTINE WORMUTH, SECRETARY OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR JON TESTER Senator TESTER. Good morning. The subcommittee will come to order. Secretary Wormuth, General McConville, welcome back to our subcommittee. It's good to have you here. We appreciate your lead- ership of our Nation's Army and we look forward to discussing with you the Army's priorities for fiscal year 2023, as well as other time- ly topics, such as the Army's role in supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia. No matter how large the budget each budget cycle, we wrestle with competing priorities of investing in key capabilities to support soldiers and their families, maintaining high levels of readiness, and continuing modernization efforts for the future fight. The Army is attempting to drive transformation to the Army of 2030, recognizing a strategic pivot from a focus on counterterrorism to an army ready to meet the top pacing challenge in China and the acute threat of Russian aggression. First and foremost, you are the people-centric service. Soldiers, their families, and civilians empower the Army. We need to make sure that the right people are in the right place at the right time enabling the Army to deploy, fight, and win as a part of the Joint Force. In your fiscal year 2023 budget request, it trims the size of the Active Duty Army to 473,000 troops, a reduction of 12,000 soldiers. We want to make sure we fully understand the rationale for and the operational impact of this proposed adjustment. (1)
