The subcommittee met at 10:01 a.m. in room SD-192, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Jon Tester (chairman) presiding. Present: Senators Tester, Baldwin, Shaheen, Shelby, Blunt, Moran, Hoeven, and Boozman. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE NATIONAL GUARD AND RESERVE STATEMENT OF GENERAL DANIEL R. HOKANSON, CHIEF OF THE NA- TIONAL GUARD BUREAU OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR JON TESTER Senator TESTER. I want to thank you all for being here today. Be- fore Senator Shelby gets here, I just want to express my apprecia- tion, because we don't do this enough, to be honest with you, of not only the jobs that the people in front of us do, but the jobs that the people behind you do. And I just want to say, thank you. These are difficult times, with the conflicts that are going on in the world, and inflation, and all that stuff, but I will tell you that we have had a number of these hearings. And I think this is-maybe the last one, right? VOICE. It is the last one. Senator TESTER. This is the last hearing. And I think this coun- try is in good hands with the leadership, and the people that we have serving in our Military. And I just want to thank you for that before we start this hearing. I call this committee meeting to order. Good morning. I want to start by thanking you all for being here. We appreciate the leadership of our Nation's National Guard and Reserve Forces, and look forward to discussing the fiscal year 2023 budget prior- ities with you. As you know, leadership from the Department of Defense and Military Services already testified before our committee about the evolving China threat, and investments being made to modernize the Force. We want to learn from you what this means, from your perspective, the Guard and Reserve Components, who are often the first to be called upon when a crisis occurs. (1)
